The Sun's vertical displacement from the galactic plane is determined model-independently from 3457 spectroscopic-parallax distance estimates for 2397 OB stars within 1200 pc of the Sun. The result, 19.5 +/- 2.2 pc, agrees well with other recent determinations. The distribution of stellar z-values with galactic longitude shows a slight sinusoidal dependence with an amplitude of about 26 pc.

    astro-ph.GA 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Open clusters trace a wavy reddening plane offset 15.7 pc below the Sun, whose absorbing layer has a mean thickness of about 201 pc and a cluster scale height of 87 pc.
