HyperLEDA. III. The catalogue of extragalactic distances

By Dmitry I. Makarov, P. Prugniel, N. Terekhova, Hélène Courtois, I. Vauglin. 2014

584 citations recorded by the source corpus.

We present the compilation catalogue of redshift-independent distances included in the HyperLEDA database. It is actively maintained to be up-to-date, and the current version counts 6640 distance measurements for 2335 galaxies compiled from 430 published articles. Each individual series is recalibrated onto a common distance scale based on a carefully selected set of high-quality measurements. This information together with data on HI line-width, central velocity dispersion, magnitudes, diameters, and redshift is used to derive a homogeneous distance estimate and physical properties of galaxies, such as their absolute magnitudes and intrinsic size.
