Rolf Kudritzki: Research

Extragalactic Stellar Astronomy

Highlight: The Hubble Constant Anchor Galaxy NGC 4258: Metallicity and Distance from Blue Supergiants Stars



Highlight: An Independent New Determination of the Hubble Constant - the SNIa Host Galaxy M101 and the Distance from Blue Supergiants



Highlight: An Additional New Independent Determination of the Hubble Constant - Calibration of the Tully-Fisher Relationship with Galaxy Distances from Blue Supergians



Highlight: Mass - Metallicity Relationship (MZR) of Star Forming Galaxies



This is the first MZR based solely on accurate stellar spectroscopy. The results are obtained from the spectral analysis of young massive stars either as individuals or in a population synthesis approach.
