Distance
According C. G. Tinney's 1996 paper "CCD astrometry of southern very low-mass stars", LP 944-020 (designated there as BRI 0337-3535) has relative parallax mas, and correction from relative to absolute parallax (i. e. mean parallax of the reference frame stars) mas. This yields absolute parallax mas, and standard deviation of absolute parallax (according formula ) mas, and this corresponds to a distance of pc, or ly. (The same values of absolute parallax and its standard deviation are in RECONS' TOP100 list, which is referenced to the aforementioned Tinney's article.)

Famous quotes containing the word distance:
“A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“No doubt, the short distance to which you can see in the woods, and the general twilight, would at length react on the inhabitants, and make them savages. The lakes also reveal the mountains, and give ample scope and range to our thought.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
