Comparison with statistical distance scales. We show the catalog of distances by SH10 and FPB16 against GDR2 distances. Filled and empty squares show the data for targets with σ_π/π < 0.15 in Gaia, where open symbols indicate the sources that we did not use for the regression (2.5σ filtering). The black solid lines show the linear regression of these sources forced through the coordinate origin. Crosses and pluses are used for targets with 0.15 ≤ σ_π/π < 0.25, (the latter were not included in the fitting), where filtered sources are marked with a plus. The fitting including sources with σ_π/π > 0.15 marginally changed the result within the line widths and thus is not shown separately for clarity. The green dashed lines show the 1:1 relation.
