We present final results of a program for the determination of the Hubble constant based on the calibration of the Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). We report TRGB distances to three SN Ia host galaxies, NGC 3021, NGC 3370, and NGC 1309. We obtain F555W and F814W photometry of resolved stars from the archival Hubble Space Telescope data. Luminosity functions of red giant stars in the outer regions of these galaxies show the TRGB to be at I ~ QT = 28.2 ~ 28.5 mag. From these TRGB magnitudes and the revised TRGB calibration based on two distance anchors (NGC 4258 and the LMC) in Jang&Lee 2017, we derive the distances: (m-M)0 = 32.178 +- 0.033 for NGC 3021, 32.253 +- 0.041 for NGC 3370, and 32.471 +- 0.040 for NGC 1309. We update our previous results on the TRGB distances to five SN Ia host galaxies using the revised TRGB calibration. By combining the TRGB distance estimates to SN Ia host galaxies in this study with the SN Ia calibration provided by Riess et al. 2011, we obtain a value of the Hubble constant: H0 = 71.66 +- 1.80 (random) +- 1.88 (systematic) km/s/Mpc (a 3.6% uncertainty including systematics) from all eight SNe, and H0 = 73.72 +- 2.03 +- 1.94 km/s/Mpc (a 3.8% uncertainty) from six low-reddened SNe. We present our best estimate, H0 = 71.17 +- 1.66 +- 1.87 km/s/Mpc (a 3.5% uncertainty) from six low-reddened SNe with the recent SN Ia calibration in Riess et al. 2016. This value is between those from the Cepheid calibrated SNe Ia and those from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) analysis, lowering the Hubble tension.

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is undertaking a re-calibration of the extragalactic distance scale, using Type Ia supernovae that are tied to Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) distances to local galaxies. We present here deep Hubble Spac
e Telescope (HST) ACS/WFC imaging of the resolved stellar populations in the metal-poor halos of the SN Ia host galaxies NGC 4424, NGC 4526, and NGC 4536. These three Virgo constellation galaxies are prime targets for calibrating the extragalactic distance scale given their relative proximity in the local Universe and their low line-of-sight reddenings. Anchoring the TRGB zero-point to the geometric distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud via detached eclipsing binaries, we measure extinction-corrected distance moduli of 31.00 +/- 0.03 (stat) +/- 0.06 (sys) mag, 30.98 +/- 0.03 (stat) +/- 0.06 (sys) mag, and 30.99 +/- 0.03 (stat) +/- 0.06 (sys) mag for NGC 4424, NGC 4526, and NGC 4536, respectively, or 15.8 +/- 0.2 (stat) +/- 0.4 (sys) Mpc, 15.7 +/- 0.2 (stat) +/- 0.4 (sys) Mpc, and 15.8 +/- 0.2 (stat) +/- 0.4 (sys) Mpc. For these three galaxies, the distances are the first based on the TRGB, and for NGC 4424 and NGC 4526, they are the highest precision distances published to date, each measured to 3%. Finally, we report good agreement between our TRGB distances and the available Cepheid distances for NGC 4424 and NGC 4536, demonstrating consistency between the distance scales currently derived from stars of Population I and II.
The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is re-calibrating the extragalactic SN Ia distance scale using exclusively Population II stars. This effort focuses on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) method, whose systematics are entirely independen
t of the Population I Cepheid-based determinations that have long served as calibrators for the SN Ia distance scale. We present deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the low surface-density and low line-of-sight reddening halos of two galaxies, NGC 1448 and NGC 1316, each of which have been hosts to recent SN Ia events. Provisionally anchoring the TRGB zero-point to the geometric distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud derived from detached eclipsing binaries, we measure extinction-corrected distance moduli of 31.23 +/-0.04 (stat) +/- 0.06 (sys) mag for NGC 1448 and 31.37 +/- 0.04 (stat) and +/- 0.06 (sys) mag for NGC 1316, respectively, giving metric distances of 17.7 +/- 0.3 (stat) +/- 0.5 (sys) Mpc, and 18.8 +/- 0.3 (stat) +/- 0.5 (sys) Mpc. We find agreement between our result and the available Cepheid distance for NGC 1448; for NGC 1316, where there are relatively few published distances based on direct measurements, we find that our result is consistent with the published SN Ia distances whose absolute scales are set from other locally-determined methods such as Cepheids. For NGC 1448 and NGC 1316, our distances are some of the most precise (and systematically accurate) measurements with errors at 1.7 (2.8) % and 1.6 (2.7) % levels, respectively.
The primary goal of the Carnegie Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is to calibrate the zero-point of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) Hubble Diagram through the use of Population II standard candles. So far, the CCHP has measured direct distances to 11 SNe
Ia, and here we increase that number to 15 with two new TRGB distances measured to NGC 5643 and NGC 1404, for a total of 20 SN Ia calibrators. We present resolved, point-source photometry from new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of these two galaxies in the F814W and F606W bandpasses. From each galaxys stellar halo, we construct an F814W-band luminosity function in which we detect an unambiguous edge feature identified as the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). For NGC 5643, we find $mu_0 = 30.48pm0.03(stat)pm0.07(sys) $ mag, and for NGC 1404 we find $ mu_0=31.36pm 0.04(stat)pm 0.05(sys)$ mag. From a preliminary consideration of the SNe Ia in these galaxies, we find increased confidence in the results presented in Paper VIII (Freedman et al. 2019). The high precision of our TRGB distances enables a significant measurement of the 3D displacement between the Fornax Cluster galaxies NGC 1404 and NGC 1316 (Fornax A) equal to $1.50^{+0.25}_{-0.39}$ Mpc, which we show is in agreement with independent literature constraints.
We have used WFPC2 VRI observations to calculate the distances to three nearby galaxies, NGC 4214, UGC 685, and UGC 5456 using the tip of the red giant branch method. Our values for NGC 4214 (2.94 +/- 0.18 Mpc) and UGC 685 (4.79 +/- 0.30 Mpc) are the
most precise measurementes of the distances to these objects ever made. For UGC 5456 the data do not allow us to reach a decisive conclusion since there are two possible solutions, one leading towards a short distance around 3.8 Mpc and another one towards a long distance of 5.6 Mpc or more.
We present year-long, near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 observations used to search for Mira variables in NGC 1559, the host galaxy of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2005df. This is the first dedicated search for Miras, highly-evolved low-mass
stars, in a SN Ia host and subsequently the first calibration of the SN Ia luminosity using Miras in a role historically played by Cepheids. We identify a sample of 115 O-rich Miras with P < 400 days based on their light curve properties. We find that the scatter in the Mira Period-Luminosity Relation (PLR) is comparable to Cepheid PLRs seen in SN Ia supernova host galaxies. Using a sample of O-rich Miras discovered in NGC 4258 with HST F160W and its maser distance, we measure a distance modulus for NGC 1559 of mu1559 = 31.41 +/- 0.050 (statistical) +/- 0.060 (systematic) mag. Based on the light curve of the normal, well-observed, low-reddening SN 2005df, we obtain a measurement of the fiducial SN Ia absolute magnitude of MB0 = -19.27 +/- 0.13 mag. With the Hubble diagram of SNe Ia we find H0 = 72.7 +/- 4.6 kms-1 Mpc-1. Combining the calibration from the NGC 4258 megamaser and the Large Magellanic Cloud detached eclipsing binaries gives a best value of H0 = 73.3 +/- 4.0 km s-1 Mpc-1. This result is within 1-sigma of the Hubble constant derived using Cepheids and multiple calibrating SNe Ia. This is the first of four expected calibrations of the SN Ia luminosity from Miras which should reduce the error in H0 via Miras to ~3%. In light of the present Hubble tension and JWST, Miras have utility in the extragalactic distance scale to check Cepheid distances or calibrate nearby SNe in early-type host galaxies that would be unlikely targets for Cepheid searches.
