THE FIRST ACCURATE PARALLAX DISTANCE TO A BLACK HOLE
Using astrometric VLBI observations, we have determined the parallax of the black hole X-ray binary V404 Cyg to be 0.418 [plus or minus sign] 0.024 mas, corresponding to a distance of 2.39 [plus or minus sign] 0.14 kpc, significantly lower than the previously accepted value. This model-independent e...
