Visualization of the baseline mini-distance ladder. The lower-left panel shows anchor GC parallaxes on the x-axis against the joint-fit distances on the y-axis, including residuals. The mean difference between Gaia parallax and fit parallax for anchor GCs is −0.87 ± 1.52 μ as. The upper-right panel shows the host GC fit distances on the x-axis against the host GC parallaxes on the y-axis, with a mean difference of −5.9 ± 4.3 μ as affected by outliers. The two outlier hosts Terzan 1 and BH 229 are due to sparse membership and do not affect the fit. The comparison reveals no evidence for a distance dependent bias of GDR3 parallaxes.
