Comparison of Gaia DR3 inverse parallaxes as a function of geometric distances from Bailer-Jones et al. (2021). Dark grey background points represent a sample of 40000 randomly selected Gaia DR3 stars with fractional parallax error σ_ϖ/ϖ < 0.2. Light grey points show stars with σ_ϖ/ϖ > 0.2 from Bailer-Jones et al. (2021). Our sample of AB-member candidates are shown as circles, colour coded by their fractional parallax error. The bottom panel shows the respective residuals. Black dashed lines depict a difference of ±10%.
