Open clusters with Hipparcos I. Mean astrometric parameters

چکیده
Newmemberships, mean parallaxes and proper motions of all 9 open clusters closer than300pc (except theHyades) and 9 rich clusters between 300 and 500 pc have been computed using Hipparcos data. Precisions, ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 mas for parallaxes and 0.1 to 0.5 mas/yr for proper motions, are of great interest for calibrating photometric parallaxes as well as for kinematical studies. Careful investigations of possible biases have been performed and no evidence of significant systematic errors on the mean cluster parallaxes has been found. The distances and proper motions of 32 more distant clusters, which may be used statistically, are also indicated.

متن کاملParallaxes and proper motions for 20 open clusters as based on the new Hipparcos catalogue
Context. A new reduction of the astrometric data as produced by the Hipparcos mission has been published, claiming that the accuracies for nearly all stars brighter than magnitude Hp = 8 are improved, by up to a factor 4, compared to the original catalogue. As correlations between the underlying abscissa residuals have also been reduced by more than an order of magnitude to an insignificant lev...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Survey of G and K Dwarfs in the Hipparcos Catalog. I. Comparison between the Hipparcos and Photometric Parallaxes
The tension between the Hipparcos parallax of the Pleiades and other independent distance estimates continues even after the new reduction of the Hipparcos astrometric data and the development of a new geometric distance measurement for the cluster. A short Pleiades distance from the Hipparcos parallax predicts a number of stars in the solar neighborhood that are sub-luminous at a given photosp...
متن کاملAbsolute Proper Motions of Open Clusters . I . Observational data
Mean proper motions and parallaxes of 205 open clusters were determined from their member stars found in the Hipparcos Catalogue. 360 clusters were searched for possible members, excluding nearby clusters with distances D < 200 pc. Members were selected using ground based information (photometry, radial velocity, proper motion, distance from the cluster centre) and information provided by Hippa...
متن کاملACCELERATION AND STOCHASTIC HIPPARCOS SOLUTIONS Based on observations made with the ESA Hipparcos satellite
The Hipparcos astrometric parameters were obtained through the merging of abscissae data obtained by FAST and NDAC Consortia. Using a different weighting scheme, close but different astrometric solutions may be obtained. The resulting influence on acceleration (G) and stochastic (X) solutions is discussed; these solutions are studied from the point of view of the possible signature of astrometr...
