Robert, Thank you. A fine contribution. I would be very interested in the Doppler shift distribution that you propose, especially as MS already describes redshift as a "statistical" phenomenon. Also, if you decide to write something up on these negative parallaxes for your own site, then I would like to link to it if that's okay? (May I suggest a change of colours, though, just to make it more obvious when you are commenting and when you are quoting?) Neville.

Go ahead and start the research ? don?t wait for me. My agenda is filling up with more books, articles and projects, so it may be a while before I get back to this. To keep the analysis unbiased, we should each use different star catalogs for the raw data? I will be using CDS III/239. I have no Web site yet, just a file server. In any case you are always free to link up, w/o a permission request.

I struggled to understand how parallax could be negative, in terms of its angular definition. So I did some surfing. Even astronomers themselves don?t trust negative parallax (or HIP) : ?
