Bias in Absolute Magnitude Determination from Parallaxes
Relations are given for the correction of bias when mean absolute magnitudes are derived by the method of reduced parallaxes. The bias in the case of the derivation of the absolute magnitudes of individual objects is also considered.
متن کاملTransverse Velocities of Galaxies From Microlens Parallaxes
The transverse velocity of a spiral galaxy can be measured to an accuracy 60 km s 1 by making parallax observations of quasars being microlensed by stars in the disk of the galaxy. To make the measurement, a quasar must be located behind the disk of the galaxy between about 1 and 2 scale lengths from the center. The quasar must then be monitored for microlensing events and the events followed s...
متن کاملDynamical behavior of meteoroids in the atmosphere derived from very precise photographic records
Basic equations of motion and ablation of a single non-fragmenting body through the atmosphere were solved with ablation and shape-density coefficients as general functions of time. This solution was applied to 22 photographically recorded meteoroids with very precise data available, such meteoroids which did not yield solutions by using the gross-fragmentation model. Extremely high values of t...
متن کاملMacho Parallaxes From A Single Satellite
Massive Compact Objects (Machos) are currently being discovered at substantially higher rates than would be expected from standard models of known stellar populations. To determine whether they are due to non-standard distributions of known populations or to a heretofore unknown (`dark') population, one must acquire more information about the individual events. Space-based parallaxes are potent...
متن کاملDistances and absolute magnitudes from trigonometric parallaxes
In astrophysical applications, derived quantities like distances, absolute magnitudes and velocities are used instead of the observed quantities, such as parallaxes and proper motions. As the observed values are affected by random errors and selection effects, the estimates of the astrophysical quantities can be biased if a correct statistical treatment is not used. This paper presents and disc...
