TL;DR: Cosmicflows-2 as mentioned in this paper is a compilation of distances and peculiar velocities for over 8000 galaxies, and the largest contributions come from the luminosity-line width correlation for spirals, the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR), and the related fundamental plane relation for E/S0 systems.

TL;DR: A database can be accessed on the Web at http://eddifa.hawaii.edu that was developed to promote access to information related to galaxy distances as mentioned in this paper, where tables from many literature sources have been gathered and enhanced with links through a distinct galaxy naming convention.

TL;DR: In this article, the peculiar velocity of the Local Group of galaxies manifested in the cosmic microwave background dipole is found to decompose into three dominant components, the nearest being a velocity discontinuity at 7 Mpc, the second being an attraction on scales larger than 3000 km s−1 and centered near the direction of the Centaurus Cluster.

TL;DR: The zero point of the red giant branch (TRGB) was established with a statistical accuracy of 1%, modulo the uncertainty in the magnitude of the horizontal branch, with a typical rms uncertainty of 3% in individual galaxy distances at high Galactic latitude as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a database for information related to galaxy distances and compare results both at the levels of parameters and techniques, leading to increasing homogeneity and consistency of distance measurements.
