Description

We provide here full Table 1 from Iwanek, P., et al., 2023, "A three-dimensional map of the Milky Way using 66,000 Mira variable stars", ApJS (accepted for publication, DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/acad7a), which contains mean magnitudes, distances, extinction values, and photometric chemical types for 65,981 Galactic Miras (Iwanek2023_Table1_GalMirasDist.txt file). The corner plot, i.e., the two-dimensional projections of the multi-dimensional posterior parameter spaces fitted to the Galactic Miras distribution is presented in Figure Iwanek2023_corner_plot.png.
