| 内容記述 | The problem of determining the global Hubble constant is approached by using two distance indicators whose dispersion in absolute magnitude is small, and hence which are virtually free of the Malmquist bias. New data are presented on the mean absolute-magnitude of the brightest individual red and blue supergiant stars in very nearby galaxies, calibrated relative to the Cepheids. The results are used to calibrate the maximum absolute blue magnitude for two well-observed Type I supernovae (SNe I). The velocity-relative distance diagram for 16 SNe I with known maximum apparent blue magnitudes is then calibrated using distances for IC 4182 and NGC 4214, with the result that the global Hubble constant equals 50 + or - 7 km per second per megaparsec. The result is compared with the known age of globular clusters in the Galaxy to show that the cosmological and the evolutionary time scales now closely agree. |
