Runaway Dwarf Carbon Stars as Candidate Supernova Ejecta
Kathryn A. Plant, Bruce Margon, Puragra Guhathakurta +3
The dwarf carbon (dC) star SDSS J112801.67+004034.6 has an unusually high radial velocity, 531 km s. We present proper motion and new spectroscopic observations which…
A Deep Proper Motion Catalog Within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Footprint. II. The White Dwarf Luminosity Function
Jeffrey A. Munn, Hugh C. Harris, Ted von Hippel +8
A catalog of 8472 white dwarf (WD) candidates is presented, selected using reduced proper motions from the deep proper motion catalog of Munn et al. 2014. Candidates are selected i…
The Stellar Density Profile of the Distant Galactic Halo
Colin T. Slater, David L. Nidever, Jeffrey A. Munn +2
We use extensive gravity-sensitive DDO 51 photometry over 5100 square degrees, combined with SDSS broadband photometry, to select a catalog of giant stars covering a l…
Orbits, Distance, and Stellar Masses of the Massive Triple Star Sigma Orionis
G. H. Schaefer, C. A. Hummel, D. R. Gies +11
We present interferometric observations of the sigma Orionis triple system using the CHARA Array, NPOI, and VLTI. Using these measurements, we spatially resolve the orbit of the cl…
The Solar Neighborhood XXXVIII. Results from the CTIO/SMARTS 0.9m: Trigonometric Parallaxes for 151 Nearby M Dwarf Systems
Jennifer G. Winters, R. Andrew Sevrinsky, Wei-Chun Jao +5
We present 160 new trigonometric parallaxes for 151 M dwarf systems from the REsearch Consortium On Nearby Stars (RECONS) group's long-term astrometry/photometry program at the CTI…
Surveying the Bright Stars by Optical Interferometry I: A Search for Multiplicity Among Stars of Spectral Types F - K
Donald Hutter, Robert Zavala, Christopher Tycner +5
We present the first results from an ongoing survey for multiplicity among the bright stars using the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI). We first present a summary of NP…
