The astrometric results of Hipparcos include the positions at epoch (1991.25), the proper motion in the new IAU extragalactic reference system (ICRS), and parallaxes for about 118 000 stars. One dimensional positions are also given for 48 asteroids and 3 satellites. Due to the non-isotropy of the scanning law, the uncertainties are position dependent. Some indications of the remaining correlations are given. Various tests and comparisons show that systematic errors in parallax, if any, are not larger than 0.1 millisecond of arc.
