Abstract

Results of comparison of Gaia DR2 parallaxes with data derived from a combined analysis of 2MASS (Two Micron All-Sky Survey), SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey), GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer), and UKIDSS (UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey) surveys in four selected high-latitude b>48|b|>48^{\circ} sky areas are presented. It is shown that multicolor photometric data from large modern surveys can be used for parameterization of stars closer than 4400 pc and brighter than gSDSS=19.m6g_{SDSS} = 19.^m6, including estimation of parallax and interstellar extinction value. However, the stellar luminosity class should be properly determined.
