Direct extragalactic distance determination using X-ray scattering.

DRAINE B.T. and BOND N.A.

Abstract (from CDS):

We examine the feasibility of using dust-scattered X-rays for direct determination of distances to nearby galaxies with bright background AGNs, QSOs, or GRBs. We show how the Chandra X-Ray Observatory could be used to determine the distance to M31 to an unprecedented absolute accuracy of ∼1%.
