Abstract

We present the trigonometric parallax, proper motion, and structure of three methanol masers from the Southern Hemisphere Parallax Interferometric Radio Astrometry Legacy Project (SπRALS). All three masers have better than 5% parallax accuracy, which we attribute to the new inverse MultiView calibration technique.
