Astrometry with the Hubble Space Telescope: Trigonometric Parallaxes of Selected Hyads

Barbara E. McArthur, G. Fritz Benedict, Thomas E. Harrison +1

We present absolute parallaxes and proper motions for seven members of the Hyades open cluster, pre-selected to lie in the core of the cluster. Our data come from archival astromet…

Metallicities of M Dwarf Planet Hosts from Spectral Synthesis

Jacob L. Bean, G. Fritz Benedict, Michael Endl

We present the first spectroscopic metallicities of three M dwarfs with known or candidate planetary mass companions. We have analyzed high resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra…
