Evidence for a Systematic Offset of −80 μas in the Gaia DR2 Parallaxes
Evidence for a Systematic Offset of −80 μas in the Gaia DR2 Parallaxes
We reprise the analysis of Stassun & Torres (2016), comparing the parallaxes of the eclipsing binaries reported in that paper to the parallaxes newly reported in the Gaia second data release (DR2). We find evidence for a systematic offset of $-82 \pm 33$ micro-arcseconds, in the sense of the Gaia …
