# Comparison of Gaia and asteroseismic distances

## TL;DR

This study compares asteroseismic and Gaia distances for 74 stars, finding strong agreement but noting a systematic 5% difference linked to spectroscopic temperature measurements.

## Contribution

It provides a direct comparison between asteroseismic and Gaia distances, highlighting the impact of temperature measurement methods on distance estimates.

## Key findings

- Good agreement for most stars, with less than 10% difference in 64 cases.
- Systematic 5% higher Gaia distances when using spectroscopic temperatures.
- Validation of asteroseismic distances against Gaia data for solar-like oscillators.

## Abstract

Asteroseismology provides fundamental properties (mass, radius and effective temperature) of solar-like oscillating stars using so-called scaling relations. These properties allow the computation of the asteroseismic distance of stars. We compare the asteroseismic distances with the recently released Gaia distances for 74 stars studied in Y{\i}ld{\i}z et al. There is a very good agreement between these two distances; for 64 of these stars, the difference is less than 10 per cent. However, a systematic difference is seen if we use the effective temperature obtained by spectroscopic methods; the Gaia distances are about 5 per cent greater than the asteroseismic distances.
