Distances of local galaxies

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Any calibration of the present value of the Hubble constant (H_0_) requires recession velocities and distances of galaxies.

Description

While the conversion of observed velocities into true recession velocities has only a small effect on the result, the derivation of unbiased distances which rest on a solid zero point and cover a useful range of about 4-30Mpc is crucial. A list of 279 such galaxy distances within v<2000km/s is given which are derived from the tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB), from Cepheids, and/or from supernovae of type Ia (SNe Ia).
