Extended Data Fig. 2: Test of photometric distances.

From: All-sky dynamical response of the Galactic halo to the Large Magellanic Cloud

Extended Data Fig. 2

Comparison of our photometric distances against literature values for satellite galaxies around the Milky Way (red) and globular clusters (blue). Error bars represent the 1σ scatter in the photometric distances and dotted lines mark ±20% about the one-to-one line. The dwarf galaxies include Fornax, Draco, Sculptor, Carina, Ursa Minor, and the LMC and the SMC, and span average metallicities from [Fe/H] ≈ −0.5 (LMC) to [Fe/H] ≈ −2.2 (Ursa Minor)42.
