The Lutz-Kelker bias in trigonometric parallaxes
The theoretical prediction that trigonometric parallaxes suffer from a statistical effect, has become topical again now that the results of the Hipparcos satellite have become available. This statistical effect, the so-called Lutz-Kelker bias, causes measured parallaxes to be too large. This has the implication that inferred distances, and hence inferred luminosities are too small. Published an...
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...
متن کاملVLBI astrometry of circumstellar OH masers; proper motions and parallaxes of four AGB stars
The main-line OH masers around 4 AGB stars have been observed with the NRAO Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 8 epochs over a period of 2.5 years. Using a phase referencing technique, the position of the most compact maser spot of each star was monitored with respect to two extragalactic reference sources. For U Her and W Hya, we observe the most blue-shifted maser spot, while for R Cas and S ...
متن کاملA Survey for Faint Stars of Large Proper Motion Using Extra POSS II Plates
We have conducted a search for new stars of high proper motion (≥0.4 arcsec yr) using POSS II fields for which an extra IIIaF (red) plate of good quality exists, along with useable IIIaJ (blue) and IV-N (infrared) plates taken at epochs differing by a minimum of 1.5 years. Thirty-five fields at Galactic latitudes |b| ≥ 20 were measured, covering some 1378 deg, or 3.3% of the sky. Searches with ...
متن کاملOn the Hipparcos parallaxes of O stars
We compare the absolute visual magnitude of the majority of bright O stars in the sky as predicted from their spectral type with the absolute magnitude calculated from their apparent magnitude and the Hipparcos parallax. We find that many stars appear to be much fainter than expected, up to five magnitudes. We find no evidence for a correlation between magnitude differences and the stellar rota...
