Notes. The list contains the data plotted in Fig. 15. The Data column shows the source of the data that were used for the analysis, except for supernovae, in which case, the individual objects are listed. For a more complete list of distances and a review of each method, we refer to Table 2 in McQuinn et al. (2016). Bold values: values derived in the present paper.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
