Gaia DR3 parallaxes (ϖ) versus geometric distances calculated by Bailer-Jones et al. (2021) for slowly pulsating B (SPB), β Cephei, as well as fundamental and first overtone δ Cephei stars with the measured and calculated errorbars for the whole sample. The G-band brightness of the stars are color coded. One can see that the calculated distance for the closest stars is overestimated, as it does not follow the ρ = 1/ϖ parallax-distance inversion law (black dashed line). Although, the turning point from the parallax-distance inversion law differs for each star type.
