HST Proper Motion of Andromeda III: Another Satellite Co-orbiting The M31 Satellite Plane

Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu, Marcel S. Pawlowski, Terrence M. Girard +5

We measure the absolute proper motion of Andromeda III using ACS/WFC and WFPC2 exposures spanning an unprecedented 22-year time baseline. The WFPC2 exposures have been processed us…

Discovery of astrometric accelerations by dark companions in the globular cluster Centauri

Imants Platais, Johannes Sahlmann, Leo Girardi +6

We present results from the search for astrometric accelerations of stars in Centauri using 13 years of regularly-scheduled {\it Hubble Space Telescope} WFC3/UVIS calibration o…

The effects of stellar rotation along the main sequence of the 100 Myr old massive cluster NGC 1850

Sebastian Kamann, Sara Saracino, Nate Bastian +13

Young star clusters enable us to study the effects of stellar rotation on an ensemble of stars of the same age and across a wide range in stellar mass and are therefore ideal targe…

Faint Stars in a Faint Galaxy: II. The Low Mass Stellar Initial Mass Function of the Boötes I Ultrafaint Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

Carrie Filion, Imants Platais, Rosemary F. G. Wyse +1

This paper presents improved constraints on the low-mass stellar initial mass function (IMF) of the Boötes I (Boo~I) ultrafaint dwarf galaxy, based on our analysis of recent deep i…

A New Proper Motion Determination of Leo I

Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu, Caitlin K. Hansen, Terrence M. Girard +3

We measure the absolute proper motion of Leo I using a WFPC2/HST data set that spans up to 10 years, to date the longest time baseline utilized for this satellite. The measurement…

A Comprehensive Astrometric Calibration of HST's WFPC2. I. Distortion Mapping

Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu, Terrence M. Girard, Vera Kozhurina-Platais +3

Wide field planetary camera 2 (WFPC2) exposures are already some 20 years older than Gaia epoch observations, or future JWST observations. As such, they offer an unprecedented time…
