Interferometric Astrometry of the Detached White Dwarf - M Dwarf Binary Feige 24 Using Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor 3: White Dwarf Radius and Component Mass Estimates

G. F. Benedict, B. E. McArthur, O. G. Franz +14

With HST FGS 3 we have determined a parallax for the white dwarf - M dwarf interacting binary, Feige 24. The white dwarf (DA) component has an effective temperature, T_eff of appro…

Photometry of Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star Using HST Fine Guidance Sensor 3: A Search for Periodic Variations

G. Fritz Benedict, Barbara McArthur, E. Nelan +10

We have observed Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star with Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor 3. Proxima Centauri exhibits small-amplitude, periodic photometric variations.…

The Distance to the Hyades Cluster Based on HST Fine Guidance Sensor Parallaxes

W. F. van Altena

Trigonometric parallax observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope's Fine Guidance Sensor #3 (HST FGS) of seven Hyades Cluster members in six fields of view have been analyze…
