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…

SEGUE: A Spectroscopic Survey of 240,000 stars with g=14-20

II SEGUE Collaboration, Brian Yanny, Constance Rockosi +2

The SEGUE survey obtained 240,000 moderate resolution (R = 1800) spectra from 3900 - 9000 Angstroms of fainter Milky Way stars (14.0 < g < 20.3) of a wide variety of spectral types…
