New Techniques to Determine Ages of Open Clusters Using White Dwarfs

E. J. Jeffery, T. von Hippel, W. H. Jefferys +3

Currently there are two main techniques for independently determining the ages of stellar populations: main sequence evolution theory (via cluster isochrones) and white dwarf cooli…

Interferometric Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor 3:The Parallax of the Cataclysmic Variable TV Columbae

B. E. McArthur, G. F. Benedict, J. Lee +13

TV Columbae (TV Col) is a 13th magnitude Intermediate Polar (IP) Cataclysmic Variable (CV), with multiple periods found in the light curves. Past estimates predicted a distance of…

Precise Masses for Wolf 1062 AB from Hubble Space Telescope Interferometric Astrometry and McDonald Observatory Radial Velocities

G. F. Benedict, B. E. McArthur, O. G. Franz +17

We present an analysis of astrometric data from FGS 3, a white-light interferometer on {\it HST}, and of radial velocity data from two ground-based campaigns. We model the astromet…

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…
