/// Bailer-Jones et al. (2021) EDR3 distances. <p> Estimating distances from parallaxes. V: Geometric and photogeometric distances to 1.47 billion stars in Gaia Early Data Release 3.

/// Original table description.
/// <p>
/// We estimate the distance from the Sun to sources in Gaia EDR3 that have
/// parallaxes. We provide two types of distance estimate, together with
/// their corresponding asymmetric uncertainties, using Bayesian posterior
/// density functions that we sample for each source. Our prior is based
/// on a detailed model of the 3D spatial, colour, and magnitude
/// distribution of stars in our Galaxy that includes a 3D map of
/// interstellar extinction.
/// <p>
/// The first type of distance estimate is purely geometric, in that it only
/// makes use of the Gaia parallax and parallax uncertainty. This uses a
/// direction-dependent distance prior derived from our Galaxy model. The
/// second type of distance estimate is photogeometric: in addition to
/// parallax it also uses the source's G-band magnitude and BP-RP
/// colour. This type of estimate uses the geometric prior together with a
/// direction-dependent and colour-dependent prior on the absolute magnitude
/// of the star.
/// <p>
/// Our distance estimate and uncertainties are quantiles, so are invariant
/// under logarithmic transformations. This means that our median estimate
/// of the distance can be used to give the median estimate of the distance
/// modulus, and likewise for the uncertainties.
