A Maximum Likelihood Calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Luminosity from High Latitude Field Giants Using Gaia Early Data Release 3 Parallaxes

The calibration of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) in the I band has a direct role in determinations of the Hubble constant, a subject of recent interest due to the discrepancy between direct and indirect estimates of its value. We present a maximum likelihood method designed to obtain an ind...
