The Chicago–Carnegie Hubble Program: The JWST J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch Extragalactic Distance Scale

The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method is a new standard candle based on the constant luminosities of carbon-rich AGB stars in the J band. The JAGB method is independent of the Cepheid and tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) distance indicators. Therefore, we can leverage it to both cross...
