Estimated distances for ~12000 galaxies with NED-D
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Numerous research topics rely on an improved cosmic distance scale (e.g., cosmology, gravitational waves) and the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database of Distances (NED-D) supports those efforts by tabulating multiple redshift-independent distances for 12000 galaxies (e.g., Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) zero-point).
Description
Six methods for securing a mean estimate distance (MED) from the data are presented (e.g., indicator and Decision Tree).
All six MEDs yield surprisingly consistent distances for the cases examined, including for the key benchmark LMC and M106 galaxies. The results underscore the utility of the NED-D MEDs in bolstering the cosmic distance scale and facilitating the identification of systematic trends.
