The 25 pages that link to Standard candle, each with the reason it gives.

• RedshiftRelated: It supplies distance estimates that can be compared with redshift-based expansion measurements.

• SupernovaRelated: Type Ia supernovae provide calibrated luminosities for measuring cosmic distances.

• Interstellar extinctionRelated: Extinction must be removed from its apparent brightness before its distance is estimated.

• Distance modulusRelated: Known absolute magnitude makes its distance modulus directly useful for measuring distance.

• Chandrasekhar limitRelated: Type Ia supernovae serve as standardizable candles used to measure cosmic distances.

• Luminosity distanceRelated: A calibrated luminosity lets observed flux determine luminosity distance.

• StarRelated: Certain variable stars provide distance estimates across the Milky Way and nearby galaxies.

• Magellanic CloudsRelated: The Clouds’ known distances allow their variable stars to calibrate stellar luminosities.

• Astronomical observationRelated: Observed brightness becomes a distance estimate when intrinsic luminosity is known.

• Cosmic flowRelated: Standard candles supply distances that expose departures from the Hubble–Lemaître relation.

• Adam RiessRelated: Type Ia supernovae act as standardizable candles in Riess’s cosmological measurements.

• Pinwheel GalaxyRelated: Cepheid variable stars in the galaxy helped establish its distance.

• Observational cosmologyRelated: Calibrated candles connect observed brightness to distances across cosmic scales.

• SN 1572Related: Type Ia supernovae descended from events like SN 1572 underpin cosmic distance measurements.
