Around the Pleiades [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.02968


We present a calculation of the distance to the Pleiades star cluster based on data from Gaia DR2. We show that Gaia finally settles the discrepancy between the values derived from Hipparcos and other distance determinations. The technical level of the presentation is adequate for the interested layperson.
