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:
“From a distance the rushing of the torrent delights and uplifts us, but it rocks us in a flimsy boat, we are overwhelmed by despair. The same applies to danger.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“The Russians imitate French ways, but always at a distance of fifty years.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
