583:. There is also extinction, which many people forget about. In this case it isn't obvious how many magnitudes of extinction have been included in the calculation because the paper goes directly from the distance modulus and colour excess to the absolute magnitude. However, the difference between the distance modulus and the absolute magnitude makes it fairly clear that there are about 0.16 magnitudes of extinction in there. That is consistent with the E(B-V) of 0.05.

The parallax in the starbox is for Rigel B. It should probably have a note to that effect since it isn't obvious from the reference. Yes, it is fairly accurate, but it is also somewhat indirect and potentially doesn't reflect the actual distance of Rigel. The parallax shown at Simbad for Rigel A

Yes, you missed something. First, the references given for the apparent magnitude, the distance, and the absolute magnitude are not the same, so they are not necessarily consistent. In fact the reference for the absolute magnitude (which I just changed to the original paper that derived the value
562:
Rigel is actually a multi star system. But the energy output of its components other than the main star are negligable. Its average apperent magnitude is m=0.13 and the distance is d=860 ly. With these figures its absolute magnitude should be M= -6.97 . But the article gives the figure as M= -7.84.

Thanks for pointing that out. I took a look and it seems that the infobox value was obtained using another method, but the value of 860 ly (863, to be exact) is the more widely accepted value. I have updated the infobox and added a reference.

The distance isn't consistent now to the measured parallax - which i think is a pretty accurate method for this distance. The simbad database also states that the
Parallax is actually 3.78 (compare:

is the old
Hipparcos parallax because Gaia can't yet provide a useful parallax for such bright stars. The Hipparcos value is still widely-used as the "reference" distance for Rigel.

The first paragraph gives a distance of 860 light-years (260 pc) from Earth. Yet the sidebar lists
