in this paper we focus on TRGB distances to ten galaxies in and around the nearby Virgo cluster.

the extended spatial coverage of NIRCam allows us to obtain imaging that is well suited for both TRGB and SBF measurements, in the same pointing.

F090W/F150W/F356W color image of the core and halo of Messier 89. The extended spatial coverage of NIRCam
allows us to obtain imaging that covers a very large dynamic range of surface brightness, facilitating both SBF and TRGB
measurements. A few pixels in the core of the galaxy were saturated and were manually fixed to create the color image.
