Preliminary Trigonometric Parallaxes of 184 Late-T and Y Dwarfs and an Analysis of the Field Substellar Mass Function into the "Planetary" Mass Regime

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Emily C. Martin, Richard L. Smart +16

We present preliminary trigonometric parallaxes of 184 late-T and Y dwarfs using observations from Spitzer (143), USNO (18), NTT (14), and UKIRT (9). To complete the 20-pc census o…

Distant White Dwarfs in the US Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station Parallax Sample

S. K. Leggett, P. Bergeron, John P. Subasavage +18

This paper presents new trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions for 214 stars. The measurements were made at the US Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS) between 1989 and…

Distances of Dwarf Carbon Stars

Hugh C. Harris, Conard C. Dahn, John P. Subasavage +8

Parallaxes are presented for a sample of 20 nearby dwarf carbon stars. The inferred luminosities cover almost two orders of magnitude. Their absolute magnitudes and tangential velo…

The Solar Neighborhood. XLIII: Discovery of New Nearby Stars with pm < 0.18 arcsec yr-1 (TINYMO sample)

Adric R. Riedel, Michele L. Silverstein, Todd J. Henry +5

We have conducted a novel search of most of the southern sky for nearby red dwarfs having low proper motions, with specific emphasis on those with proper motion < 0.18 arcsec yr-1,…

Speckle Interferometry of Red Dwarf Stars

Brian D. Mason, William I. Hartkopf, Korie N. Miles +3

We report high resolution optical speckle observations of 336 M dwarfs which result in 113 measurements of relative position of 80 systems and 256 other stars with no indications o…

A Multi-Year Search For Transits Of Proxima Centauri. I: Light Curves Corresponding To Published Ephemerides

David L. Blank, Dax Feliz, Karen A. Collins +14

Proxima Centauri has become the subject of intense study since the radial-velocity discovery by Anglada-Escudé et al. 2016 of a planet orbiting this nearby M-dwarf every ~ 11.2 day…
