New Distance and Revised Natures of High Mass Star Formation in G5.89-0.39

We report on astrometric observations of the 22 GHz H$_{2}$O masers in the high-mass star-forming region G5.89$-$0.39 with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry). A newly derived distance of 1.28$^{+0.09}_{\-0.08}$ kpc is the most precise, and is significantly nearer than the previous values. We revised the physical parameters and reconsidered the nature of G5.89$-$0.39 based on the new dista...
