Properties of Galactic Globular Clusters

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have assembled 560 recent measurements from the literature of distances of Galactic globular clusters and found revised distance estimates for 154 of the 157 clusters in the McMaster catalogue [Harris, 2010 edition, Cat.

Description

VII/202]. We find a trough in the X-distribution at the Galactic centre, and symmetries corresponding to the structure of the bar.

These features indicate a distance, R_0_=7.4+/-0.2(stat)+/-0.2(sys)kpc, only a little higher than Bica et al.'s (2006, Cat. J/A+A/450/105) estimate.
