| Abstract: |
Accurate and precise astronomical distance determinations are crucial
for derivations of, among others, the masses and luminosities of a
large variety of distant objects. Astronomical distance determination
has traditionally relied on the concept of a “distance ladder.” Here
we review our recent attempts to establish a highly robust set of
internally consistent distance determinations to Local Group galaxies,
which we recommend as the statistical basis of an improved
extragalactic distance ladder. |
