On the Distances to the X-Ray Binaries Cygnus X-3 and GRS 1915+105

In this paper we significantly improve estimates of distance to the X-ray binary systems Cyg X-3 and GRS 1915+105. We report a highly accurate trigonometric parallax measurement for Cyg X-3 using the Very Long Baseline Array at 43 GHz, placing the source at a distance of ${9.67}_{-0.48}^{+0.53}$ kpc...
