Redshift-Independent Distances in the Nasa/Ipac Extragalactic Database: Methodology, Content, and Use of Ned-D

Abstract: Estimates of galaxy distances based on indicators that are independent of cosmological redshift are fundamental to astrophysics. Researchers use them to establish the extragalactic distance scale, to underpin estimates of the Hubble constant, and to study peculiar velocities induced by gravitational attractions that perturb the motions of galaxies with respect to the "Hubble flow" of universal expansion. In 2006 the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) began making available a comprehensive compilation of re… Show more

“…LEDA offers one set of distances, combining redshiftindependent distance estimates with Hubble flow distances, corrected for local motions towards the Virgo cluster ("Virgocentric flow corrected", see Makarov et al 2014). The NASA Extragalactic Database (NED) also compiles distance estimates to galaxies (Steer et al 2017). The Extragalactic Distance Database (EDD, Tully et al 2009) and the CosmicFlows project (Courtois & Tully 2012;Tully et al 2016) are also compiling distances and estimating the location and motions to many thousands of local galaxies.…”

“…In order to obtain the most accurate distances for the galaxies, we first used data from the NED Distances Database (NED-D 2 ; Steer et al 2017). If a galaxy had distance measurements within NED-D obtained from Cepheid variables, the tip of the red giant branch or Type Ia supernovae (in that order of precedence), we took the mean of the distances calculated using that method to obtain the best galaxy distance.…”

“…This paper investigates the appearance of a previously unknown ULX during the latest Chandra observation in 2017 of NGC 925, a spiral galaxy at 9.56 Mpc (from Cepheids distances recorded in the NED Distances Database 1 ; Steer et al 2017). The galaxy is known to contain two previously studied ULXs (Pintore et al 2018b); we report on the discovery of a third ULX at position 02 h 27 m 20 s .18, +33 • 34 12.84 (J2000) which we designate NGC 925 ULX-3 (henceforth ULX-3 in this paper).…”
