The First VERA Astrometry Catalog
VERA collaboration, Tomoya Hirota, Takumi Nagayama +59
We present the first astrometry catalog from the Japanese VLBI (very long baseline interferometer) project VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry). We have compiled all the ast…
Trigonometric Distance and Proper Motion of IRAS 20056+3350: Massive Star Forming Region on the Solar Circle
Ross A. Burns, Takumi Nagayama, Toshihiro Handa +5
We report our measurement of the trigonometric distance and proper motion IRAS 20056+3350, obtained from the annual parallax of H2O masers. Our distance of D = 4.69 +0.65-0.51 kpc,…
VLBI Observations of H2O Maser Annual Parallax and Proper Motion in IRAS 20143+3634: Reflection on the Galactic Constants
Ross A. Burns, Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi, Toshihiro Handa +8
We report the results of VLBI observations of HO masers in the IRAS 20143+3634 star forming region using VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astronomy). By tracking masers for a…
VLBI Astrometry of AGB Variables with VERA -- A Mira Type Variable T Lepus
Akiharu Nakagawa, Toshihiro Omodaka, Toshihiro Handa +9
We conducted phase referencing VLBI observations of the Mira variable T~Lepus (T~Lep) using VERA, from 2003 to 2006. The distance to the source was determined from its annual paral…
Accurate Parallax Measurement toward the Symbiotic Star R Aquarii
Cheulhong Min, Naoko Matsumoto, Mi Kyoung Kim +5
Multi-epoch phase-referencing VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) observations with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) were performed for the symbiotic star R Aquarii…
Outer Rotation Curve of the Galaxy with VERA I: Trigonometric parallax of IRAS 05168+3634
Nobuyuki Sakai, Mareki Honma, Hiroyuki Nakanishi +4
We report measurement of trigonometric parallax of IRAS 05168+3634 with VERA. The parallax is 0.532 +/- 0.053 mas, corresponding to a distance of 1.88+0.21/-0.17 kpc. This result i…
