I-band Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars. I. Exploring a New Standard Candle for the Extragalactic Distance Scale
In the I -band color–magnitude diagrams of resolved nearby galaxies, the reddest asymptotic giant branch ( AGB ) stars form a previously unremarked-upon, but nevertheless distinct and easily identified population of high-luminosity stars. Hereafter we refer to this population as being comprised of I...
