cds-question@unistra.frglobular-star-clustersradial-velocitymetallicityWe 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.2014MNRAS.441.1105Fhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/VII/271CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/202 : Globular clusters in the Milky Way (Harris)J/A+A/450/105 : Properties of 153 Galactic globular clusters (Bica+, 2006)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=VII/271https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=VII/271http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=VII/271https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=VII/271https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=VII/271http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=VII/271GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table VII/271/catalog (Properties of globular clusters)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/VII/271/catalog?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/VII/271/catalog?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/VII/271/catalog?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true6.0234-72.08130.0055555555555555566/1133 3950 6212 6389 9436 9666 10008 10321 10336 12405 12425 12531 12943 14489 16647 17121 17711 19091 20001 21017 24843 25873 27237 27852 27981 27986 28067 28577 28705 28717 28741 28751 28768 28769 28778 28781 28805 28808 28815 28817 28833 28835 28838 28855 28867 28868 28876 28877 28882 28889 28895 28903 28905 28959 28962 28970 28973 28974 29077 29090 29097 29113 29184 29187 29195 29202 29216 29222 29231 29233 29248 29267 29289 29294 29318 29377 29626 29632 29636 29637 29816 29870 30269 30321 30329 30378 30769 30998 31019 31043 31095 31115 31128 31398 31417 31723 32083 33321 33330 33635 34242 34317 34811 36971 37294 38465 39642 39954 41011 41257 41304 41507 41522 41847 41852 42076 42152 42204 42278 42314 42320 42361 42466 42528 42700 42761 42789 42841 42862 42955 42958 42990 43125 43193 43227 43894 44086 44220 44427 47125 47620 47745 47777 47825 47866 47868 47903 47916 47935 47971 48035 48434 48444 48698 48952https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/VII/271?format=asciiOpticaldefaultVII/271/bibliorvReferences for radial velocitiesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
