New Hubble Diagram R0 ~ 1 Mpc
The Mass Estimation ~3.5 *Heisler, Tremaine & Bahcall (1985)
Mass-to-Luminosity ratio M / LB~100-200 LB,total = 2.3·1010Lsun
Conclusions: • The homogeneous distances to the galaxies in the CVn I Cloud were determined using advanced TRGB method. • We clarify the spatial structure: the cloud is divided on the core and foreground outskirt. What’s farther? • The dynamical mass of the CVn I Cloud much the same as masses of groups like Local Group.
