%0 Journal Article %T Distances to star forming regions %A Laurent Loinard %J Physics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X The determination of accurate distances to star-forming regions are discussed in the broader historical context of astronomical distance measurements. We summarize recent results for regions within 1 kpc and present perspectives for the near and more distance future. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.3306v1
