Notes. It is sorted by method (note: R = regression, ML = maximum likelihood) and date of publication. Some of the values in the list cannot be found in the same form due to slightly different definitions in the referenced papers. We sometimes had to renormalise the coefficient b, when the fundamental plane was defined using with the mean surface brightness μ0 instead of the parameter . Furthermore, the coefficient c, if available, is always given for a Hubble parameter of H0 = 70   km s-1 Mpc-1 here, therefore we had to rescale it if other values of H0 were used in the referenced paper. In addition to the fundamental plane coefficients a, b and if available c, the distance error σdist and the number of galaxies Ngal in the sample is given. Furthermore, we also list the type of fit (R = regression, ML = maximum likelihood), which was used to obtain the fundamental plane coefficient, because it is known that the coefficients not only depend on the wavelength, but also on the fitting method.
