I. Mean astrometric parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
New memberships, mean parallaxes and proper motions of all 9 open clusters closer than 300 pc (except the Hyades) 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 کاملAcceleration and Stochastic
The Hipparcos astrometric parameters were obtained through the merging of abscissae data obtained by FAST and NDAC Consortia. Using a diierent weighting scheme, close but diierent astrometric solutions may be obtained. The resulting innuence on acceleration (G) and stochastic (X) solutions is discussed; these solutions are studied from the point of view of the possible signature of astrometric ...
متن کاملTheory of
I present a somewhat selective review of microlensing theory, covering five major areas: 1) the derivation of the basic formulae, 2) the relation between the observables and the fundamental physical parameters, 3) binaries, 4) astrometric microlensing, and 5) femtolensing.
متن کاملThe Effects of Multiple Companions on the Efficiency of the SIM Planet Searches
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is expected to make precise astrometric measurements that can be used to detect low mass planets around nearby stars. Since most nearby stars are members of multiple star systems, many stars will have a measurable acceleration due to their companion, which must be included when solving for astrometric parameters and searching for planetary perturbations. A...
متن کاملThe complementarity of astrometric and radial velocity exoplanet observations
Aims. It is commonly assumed that the two indirect exoplanet detection methods, the radial velocity method and astrometric method, require observational periods exceeding the orbital period to produce positive results. Here we test this assumption in detail. We also investigate the smallest ratio of observational timeline and orbital period required for positive detections. Methods. We obtain f...
