Regarding the absolute brightness of the stars we may draw some
conclusions of interest. We find from table 7 that the absolute
magnitude of the parallax stars varies between -4 and +11, the extreme
stars being of type M. The absolutely brightest stars have a rather
great distance from us and their absolute magnitude is badly determined.
The brightest star in the table is Antares with _M_ = -4.6, which value
is based on the parallax 0".014 found by ADAMS. So small a parallax
value is of little reliability when it is directly computed from annual
parallax observations
