...(Loinard et al. 2007b)[*]
Loinard et al. (2007b) give a distance of 147.6 $\pm$ $0.6~\rm pc$ in the abstract of their paper, but 146.7 $\pm$ $0.6~\rm pc$ in the main text. Only the latter is compatible with the parallax they report.

... T Tau N[*]
In reality, both N and the center of mass of Sa/b are in orbit around the center of mass of the entire system, but this does not change the formalism if only relative positions are used.
