DISTANCE-DEPENDENT OFFSETS BETWEEN PARALLAXES FOR NEARBY STARS AND GAIA DR1 PARALLAXES

DISTANCE-DEPENDENT OFFSETS BETWEEN PARALLAXES FOR NEARBY STARS AND GAIA DR1 PARALLAXES

We use 612 single stars with previously published trigonometric parallaxes placing them within 25 pc to evaluate parallaxes released in Gaia's first data release (DR1). We find that the Gaia parallaxes are, on average, $0.24 \pm 0.02$ mas smaller than the weighted mean trigonometric parallax values for these stars in …
