Parallax programs at the Bordeaux Observatory at sub-mas level accuracy
Abstract
We present ongoing parallax programs developed at the Bordeaux Observatory several years ago. We describe the necessary steps leading to sub-milliarcsecond accuracy of calculated parallax. We show the importance of global methods for accurate parallax determination.
