The Near-IR TRGB Magnitude and Distance Modulus to NGC 185

The Near-IR TRGB Magnitude and Distance Modulus to NGC 185

We determined values of distance modulus to nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 185 from the Tip of Red-Giant Branch (TRGB) method. Apparent magnitudes of the TRGB are estimated from the near-infrared JHK luminosity functions (LFs) of the resolved giant branch stars. Theoretical absolute magnitudes of the TRGB...
