15 years of NGC 300 distance
This exact day 15 years ago we published a paper that became a setting stone for our long-lasting project…
Even more accurate benchmark for cosmic distances
An international team of astronomers within the Araucaria Project measured the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with an exceptional accuracy of 1%.
Distance to Carina dwarf galaxy
Carina distance from near-infrared photometry of RR Lyrae stars.
Distance to the LMC
LMC distance determined with the accuracy of 2% using binary systems composed of giants.
Distance to the SMC
SMC distance determined with the accuracy of 3% using binary systems composed of giants.
