The Radio Parallax of the Crab Pulsar: A First VLBI Measurement Calibrated with Giant Pulses

We use four observations with the European very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) network to measure the first precise radio parallax of the Crab Pulsar. We found two in-beam extragalactic sources just outside the Crab Nebula, with one bright enough to use as a background reference source in our d...
