Using Eq. (4) and the numerical values quoted in Sect. 4.2 of
the Paper, which are all correct, the derived distance r should read
4 kpc
r
16 kpc instead of 9 kpc
r
37 kpc,
i.e. roughly a factor 2 smaller. Accordingly, the distance quoted in
Sect. 5 and in the Abstract should read
kpc instead of
kpc. This error does not affect any of the conclusions
of the Paper. We thank John Everett for bringing this error to our
attention.
