Distribution of the inferred LMC absolute distance moduli calibrated through Gaia DR3 MW AC parallaxes. The red histogram corresponds to the values obtained using MW AC parallaxes with no counter zero-point offset, while the red vertical line is the median of the distribution. The orange and blue histograms and vertical lines are the same as the red ones but were respectively derived using the counter zero-point offsets ϖ_ZP = −0.014 mas, as suggested by Riess et al. (2021), and ϖ_ZP = −0.022 mas, as suggested by Molinaro et al. (2023).
