Beginning of ReadMe : VII/271 Properties of Galactic Globular Clusters (Francis+, 2014) ================================================================================ Two estimates of the distance to the Galactic centre. Francis C., Anderson E. <Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 441, 1105 (2014)> =2014MNRAS.441.1105F =2014yCat.7271....0F ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Clusters, globular ; Radial velocities ; Abundances, [Fe/H] Keywords: Galaxy: bulge - Galaxy: centre - Galaxy: fundamental parameters - globular clusters: general Abstract: 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. 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.
