Asteroseismology provides fundamental properties (mass, radius and effective
temperature) of solar-like oscillating stars using so-called scaling relations.
These properties allow the computation of the asteroseismic distance of stars.
We compare the asteroseismic distances with the recently released Gaia
distances for 74 stars studied in Y{\i}ld{\i}z et al. There is a very good
agreement between these two distances; for 64 of these stars, the difference is
less than 10 per cent. However, a systematic difference is seen if we use the
effective temperature obtained by spectroscopic methods; the Gaia distances are
about 5 per cent greater than the asteroseismic distances.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted by MNRA
