Theoretical aspects of the inverse Tully-Fisher relation as a distance indicator: incompleteness in log(V_Max), the relevant slope, and the calibrator sample bias

We study the influence of the assumption behind the use of the inverse Tully-Fisher relation: that there should be no observational cutoffs in the TF parameter log(V_M). It is note…
