Notes. We present the total number of stars used in the comparison (Nb) as well as the percentage of outliers excluded (at 5σ, in italic if higher than 10%) as well as the median G of the sample. The parallax differences (ϖGϖE, in mas) and unit-weight uncertainty (uwu) that needs to be applied to the uncertainties to adjust the differences are indicated in italic when they are significant (p-value limit: 0.01).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
