Scientific paper

We present a method designed to correct for Lutz-Kelker effects in
distance-limited samples. The method allows for the calculation of distances to
individual objects and, at the same time, provides a fit to a parameterized,
self-consistent spatial distribution of the population. An example using
Hipparcos data is presented and the relevance to Gaia is also discussed.
