The distance to eight X-ray sources derived from Hipparcos observations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The parallaxes of eight galactic X-ray sources measured by Hipparcos are consistent with zero in all but two cases, 4U1145-619 (= Cen X-5) and HZ43. The parallax and proper motion measured for each of the others, including the Be/neutron star binaries X Per and A0535+26 and the massive X-ray binaries 4U0900-40, 4U1700-37, and Cyg XR-1, are consistent with their spectroscopic parallaxes. These results provide no evidence that visible stars in X-ray binaries have a luminosity that is abnormal for their spectral type.

ROSAT and Hipparcos Observations of Isolated Pre – Main - Sequence Stars near HD 98800
We present new observations of the isolated young stars HD 98800 and CD −337795. Pointed ROSAT observations show that their X-ray properties, including X-ray luminosity and variability, are consistent with those of pre–mainsequence (PMS) stars. These observations do not reveal any additional PMS candidates in 40 fields centered on HD 98800 and CD −337795. Hipparcos observations of TW Hya (Wichm...
متن کاملComparison of the first results from the Hipparcos star mappers with the Hipparcos Input Catalogue
Preliminary positions and magnitudes derived from the analysis of 12 weeks of observations from the Hipparcos star mappers are systematically compared with the various sources of ground-based data used in the Hipparcos Input Catalogue. These comparisons allow to cross-check the accuracies claimed by the various sources of ground-based data and by the analysis method of star mapper data. The par...
متن کاملLimits on the X-ray and optical luminosity of the progenitor of the type Ia supernova SN2007sr
We present HST/WFPC2, GALEX and Chandra observations of the position of the type Ia supernova SN2007sr in the Antennae galaxies, taken before the explosion. No source is found in any of the observations, allowing us to put interesting constraints on the progenitor luminosity. In total there is about 450 kilosecond of Chandra data, spread over 7 different observations. Limiting magnitudes of FUV...
متن کاملMultiple and variable X - ray sources in the globular clusters
We detect stars from the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues in the field of view of observations with the ROSAT HRI of three globular clusters. We use the positions of these stars to reduce the systematic error in the positions of X-ray sources in the clusters to ∼ 2′′ for ω Cen and NGC 6752, and 1′′ for NGC 6397. We detect three X-ray sources in the core of ω Cen, and four in the core of NGC 6752;...

Background and aims: Using X-ray for diagnostic test, is one of the most important exposure to radiation sources for general population and in particular for radiation workers. Therefore, holding down the pollution at the lowest possible level is very important for protection against the internal exposure. The objective of this study is to survey the scattered X-ray rate and received dose by st...
