Bayesian inference of stellar parameters and interstellar extinction using parallaxes and multiband photometry
ABSTRACT Astrometric surveys provide the opportunity to measure the absolute magnitudes of large numbers of stars, but only if the individual line-of-sight extinctions are known. Unfortunately, extinction is highly degenerate with stellar effective temperature when estimated from broad band optical/infrared photometry. To address this problem, I introduce a Bayesian method for estimating the in...
متن کاملInferring stellar properties using colours, parallaxes and an HRD prior
Stellar parameters – effective temperature, metallicity, interstellar extinction etc. – are typically estimated from a spectrum or multiband photometry. I outline a probabilistic method for estimating stellar parameters which uses not only the spectral energy distribution but also the apparent magnitude, parallax (if available) and the strong constraints provided by the Hertzsprung–Russell Diag...
متن کاملA new calibration of stellar parameters of Galactic O stars
We present new calibrations of stellar parameters of O stars at solar metallicity taking non-LTE, wind, and line-blanketing effects into account. Gravities and absolute visual magnitudes are derived from results of recent spectroscopic analyses. Two types of effective temperature scales are derived: one from a compilation based on recent spectroscopic studies of a sample of massive stars – the ...
متن کاملCalibration of High-Precision Flexure Parallel Robots
i Calibration of High-Precision Flexure Parallel Robots Over the last decades, calibration techniques have been widely used in robotics since they represent a cost-effective solution for improving the accuracy of robots and machine-tools. They only involve software modification without the necessity of revising the robot design or tightening the manufacturing tolerances. The goal of this thesis...
متن کاملConsequences of Hipparcos Parallaxes for Stellar Evolutionary Models
Three binary systems in the Hyades open cluster (51 Tau, V818 Tau, and θ2 Tau), with known metallicity and good Johnson photometric data are used to test the validity of three independent sets of stellar evolutionary tracks. A statistical method is described and applied to the colour-magnitude diagram of the six selected components, giving rise to χ2-contours in the metallicity–age plane. The e...
