Estimating distances from parallaxes IV: Distances to 1.33 billion stars in Gaia Data Release 2

C. A. L. Bailer-Jones, J. Rybizki, M. Fouesneau +2

For the vast majority of stars in the second Gaia data release, reliable distances cannot be obtained by inverting the parallax. A correct inference procedure must instead be used…
