| contents | The systematic errors are inevitable in Gaia published astrometric data. Lindegren et al. (L21) proposed a global recipe to correct for the GEDR3 parallax zero point offset, which did not consider the Galactic plane. The applicability of their correction model to the Galactic plane remains uncertain. We attempt to have an independent investigation into the sample dependence of the L21 correction, and its applicability to the Galactic plane. We collect various samples, including quasars, binaries, and sources with parallaxes from other surveys or methods, to validate the L21 correction, especially in the Galactic plane. We conclude that the L21 correction exhibits sample dependence, and does not apply effectively to the Galactic plane. We present a new parallax bias correction applying to the Galactic plane, offering improvements over the existing L21 correction. The correction difference between L21 and this work can go up to 0.01 mas within certain ranges of magnitude and colour. This work provides an additional recipe for users of Gaia parallaxes, especially for sources located near the Galactic plane. |
