Comparison between distances derived from Gaia. In the top panel, distances from the inverse of the parallax (corrected for the zeropoint) against the distances from Bailer-Jones et al. (2021) for the initial full sample of O9 – B9 type stars. In the bottom panel, distances from Pantaleoni González, et al. (in prep.) against those from Bailer-Jones et al. (2021). The stars are color-coded by their error over parallax from the Gaia DR3 data. In both panels, the two dotted lines indicate a deviation of ±1 000 pc.
