Hipparcos Parallaxes and the Cepheid Distance Scale
Hipparcos parallaxes have recently become available for a sample of Galactic Cepheids, and we have used these new distances to calibrate the Cepheid periodluminosity (PL) relation at six wavelengths (BV IJHK). Comparing these calibrations with previously published multiwavelength PL relations we find agreement to within 0.07 ± 0.14 mag, or 4 ±7% in distance. Unfortunately, the current parallax ...
متن کاملAccurate Extra-Galactic Distances and Dark Energy: Anchoring the Distance Scale with Rotational Parallaxes
We investigate how the current and future uncertainty on the Hubble constant affects the uncertainty in the Equation of State (EOS) of Dark Energy (DE). We start with the approximate linear relations between the cosmological parameters as presented by (Spergel et al. 2006), and use the standard error-propagation relations to estimate the effects of improving the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
Parallaxes and Distance Estimates for Fourteen Cataclysmic Variable Stars
I used the 2.4 m Hiltner telescope at MDM Observatory in an attempt to measure trigonometric parallaxes for 14 cataclysmic variable stars. Techniques are described in detail. In the best cases the parallax uncertainties are below 1 mas, and significant parallaxes are found for most of the program stars. A Bayesian method which combines the parallaxes together with proper motions and absolute ma...
متن کاملOn the Signature of Short Distance Scale in the Cosmic Microwave Background
We discuss the signature of the scale of short distance physics in the Cosmic Microwave Background. In addition to effects which depend on the ratio of Hubble scale H during inflation to the energy scale M of the short distance physics, there can be effects which depend on φ̇/M where φ is the classical background of the inflaton field. Therefore, the imprints of short distance physics on the spe...
