The Distance of the Virgo Cluster

Tammann, G. A. · Sandage, A. · Reindl, B.

Original · EN

Six different distance determination methods of Virgo cluster members yield a mean distance modulus of (m-M)⁰(Virgo) = 31.60 +/- 0.09 (20.9 +/- 0.9 Mpc). This value can be carried out to > 10,000 km/s by means of 31 clusters whose distances are well known relative to the Virgo cluster. They yield H₀ = 56 +/- 4 (random error) +/- 6 (systematic error), independent of local streaming motions.
