Talk:Earth-crossing asteroid

message: The article curently would have it that "earth-crosser" asteroids will not necessarily collide with earth but that "earth-crossing" asteroids potentially might do.  I can find no reliable sources which make this distinction, however, I can find plenty which use the terms interchangeably, including in this paper by the Shoemakers who I think all would agree are authoratitive on this subject.  The only place I can find the definition given here is in this thesis paper which would appear to be the source, and even that does not explicitly state the distinction in terms claimed.  Everybody else seems to have earth-crosser/crossing defined as the Apollos plus the Atens.  Since there is nothing in this article besides the highly suspect definition, I am going to redirect the page. SpinningSpark 17:24, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Epsilon Cassiopeiae

message: This edit  says DR3 parallax is 7.0037±0.1599, but this does not equal the distance given in parsecs or light years. I.e. 470±10 pc. It should be 142.78±8.18 pc. 
If true, SIMBAD says the error is ±0.2487 mas NOT 0.1599 mas, and that distance is 142.782±5.0701 pc.?
I also know that DR3 parallax results need corrections based on proper motion and the mean BP/RP spectra using six-parameter (6-p) astrometry. Where d=1000/@pi is not now correct, and DR2 and EDR3 results are different from DR3 results.
Even the given reference says: "3.3. Systematic errors. The parallax bias (and the proper motion systematic errors) varies as a function of magnitude, colour, and celestial position. This is extensively investigated in Lindegren et al. (2021a) and a recipe for correcting the parallaxes is given. The systematic errors in the broad band photometry are described in Riello et al. (2021)."  
Because of the star's brightness, the errors are large, and as said in the same link: "GSP-Phot distance estimates are underestimated for sources with large parallax errors because of an extinction prior that then dominates the distance inference." See Figure 2 in the linked document, showing the errors involved with bright stars. According to the correct solution value, this distance is 116.13 pc. using ESASky 5.11 for DR3.
Quote 7.0037±0.2487 without the correction is probably better, and use 142.78±8.18 pc. 
* I note the same type of mistakes duplicated on other stars like Mu Ursae Majoris.
