Planck SZ measurements as probe of cosmological parameters
Mei,S.
The Planck mission will produce a galaxy cluster catalog of several
tens of thousands of clusters with measurements of both the thermal
and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effects. I will discuss Planck
SZ measurements as a probe of cosmological parameters.

Ho measurements with Surface Brightness Flctuations
Mei,S.
Surface Brightness Fluctuations have been successfully used
to measure galaxy distances from the ground and from space.
In the last few years the optical and infrared SBF sample
has increased significantly, making it possible to use this
method to measure more extensively the Hubble Constant.
