Independent Analysis of the Distance to NGC1052-DF2

Understand

The conclusion that the diffuse galaxy NGC1052-DF2 is deficient in dark matter depends critically on the distance, as noted in the original publication and subsequent works.

• The results of our preliminary assessment of the SBF distance have already been referenced on the web.
• Here we present the details of a more careful analysis, supply some context, and comment on the remaining uncertainty.
