Trigonometric Parallaxes of Massive Star Forming Regions: VI. Galactic Structure, Fundamental Parameters and Non-Circular Motions
M. J. Reid,Karl M. Menten,Xingwu Zheng,Andreas Brunthaler,L. Moscadelli,Y. Xu,Bo Zhang,Mayumi Sato,Mareki Honma,Tomoya Hirota,K. Hachisuka,Y. K. Choi,G. A. Moellenbrock,Anna Bartkiewicz +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the VLBA and the Japanese VERA project to measure trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of masers found in high-mass star-forming regions across the Milky Way.

The distance to the Orion Nebula
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) to measure the parallax of stars of the Orion Nebula Cluster showing non-thermal radio emission, and determined the distance to the cluster to be 414 ± 7 pc.
The Proper Motion of Sagittarius A*. II. The Mass of Sagittarius A*
Mark J. Reid,Andreas Brunthaler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the position of Sgr A* with respect to two extragalactic radio sources over a period of 8 years was measured with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA).
The Proper Motion of Sgr A*: II. The Mass of Sgr A*
Mark J. Reid,Andreas Brunthaler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the position of Sgr A* with respect to two extragalactic radio sources over a period of eight years was measured with the VLBA and it was shown that the apparent proper motion of A* relative to J1745-283 is 6.379 +/- 0.024 mas/y along a position angle of 209.60 +/- 0, almost entirely in the plane of the Galaxy.

TL;DR: Multi-frequency radio measurements of a newly discovered pulsar close to the Galactic Centre are reported and it is shown that the pulsar’s unusually large Faraday rotation indicates that there is a dynamically important magnetic field near the black hole.
