Scientific paper

The parallaxes of eight galactic X-ray sources measured by Hipparcos are significantly different from zero in only two cases, 4U1145-619 (= Cen X-5) and HZ43. The proper motion measured for each of the others, including the Be/neutron star binaries X Per and A0535+26 and the massive X-ray binaries 4U0900-40, 4U1700-37, and Cyg XR-1, is consistent with their spectroscopic parallaxes. There is no evidence from the Hipparcos observations that these X-ray sources are significantly closer than their previously accepted distances.
