An Accurate Distance to High - Velocity Cloud Complex C
We report an accurate distance of d = 10 ± 2.5 kpc to the high-velocity cloud Complex C. Using high signal-to-noise Keck/HIRES spectra of two horizontal-branch stars, we have detected Ca II K absorption lines from the cloud. Significant non-detections towards a further 3 stars yield robust lower distance limits.
متن کاملAn accurate distance to 2 M 1207 Ab ?
Context. In April 2004 the first image was obtained of a planetary mass companion (now known as 2M1207 b) in orbit around a selfluminous object different from our own Sun (the young brown dwarf 2MASSW J1207334-393254, hereafter 2M1207 A). 2M1207 b probably formed via fragmentation and gravitational collapse, offering proof that such a mechanism can form bodies in the planetary mass regime. Howe...
متن کاملAn Accurate Correlation to Estimate Saturated Molar Volume of Liquids
There are a number of techniques available to estimate saturated-liquid molar or specific volumes or densities of liquids. In this study, a new empirical correlation is presented to calculate volume of saturated liquids as a function of critical volume, reduced temperature and acentric factor. An optimization algorithm is utilized to obtain unknown parameters of this correlation by fitting them...
متن کاملDistance to the Large Magellanic Cloud
We remeasure the “light echo” times to the near and far side of the ring around SN 1987A using the method of Gould (1995) and the new reductions of the original UV spectra by Sonneborn et al. (1996). We obtain an upper limit to the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud μLMC < 18.37 ± 0.04. This result is very close to Gould’s original value, and contradicts claims that the new spectra measurem...
متن کاملThe Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud
A summary of recent Large Magellanic Cloud distance determinations μLMC is presented, with an eye towards pinpointing the source(s) of the resulting large discrepancies encountered between some of the techniques. Thirty-eight recent (1998-1999) measurements of μLMC are highlighted, the extrema for which (18.07 versus 18.74) are inconsistent with one another at the ∼ >3σ level. The lack of overl...
