The M81 group has great advantages for dwarf galaxy studies: it has about three times the dwarf content of the Local Group but is at only about a quarter of the Virgo cluster distance. We searched for HI in 23 optically selected dwarf members and possible members of the M81 group with the Nançay decimetric radio telescope in the velocity range of −529 to 1826 km s−1 with considerably better sensitivity (2–4 mJy rms.) than previous surveys. Half the objects observed are irregular dwarfs, expected to be HI-rich and detectable at Nançay if at the distance of the M81 group (4 Mpc).

AbstractWe are currently undertaking a ground-based imaging survey which attempts to discover and determine periods for variable stars in Virgo Cluster galaxies. Such a survey is now feasible thanks to the high resolution imaging (FWHM ≤ 0.50 arcsec) routinely obtained with the High Resolution Camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The Virgo Cluster has long been considered a crucial “stepping-stone” in the extragalactic distance scale problem given that the cluster is at a “cosmologically interesting” distance and that there is little controversy in the relative distance between Virgo and more distant clusters, such as Coma. Consequently, much of the controversy regarding the extragalactic distance scale and the Hubble Constant can be eliminated with a determination of the Virgo Cluster distance. Some preliminary results and the prospects for establishing the distance to the Virgo Cluster using Cepheids and LPVs are discussed.

AbstractA new distance modulus (31.23) to the Virgo cluster is derived using the distances to nearby galaxies given by Sandage and Tammann, de Vaucouleurs, ourselves and DDO observers. This when combined with the undisturbed mean Virgo cluster velocity 1182 km s-1, gives a value for the global Hubble constant as 67 ±4 km s-1Mpc-1.
