Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensors - A Review
G. Fritz Benedict, Barbara E. McArthur, Edmund P. Nelan +1
Over the last 20 years Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor interferometric astrometry has produced precise and accurate parallaxes of astrophysical interesting stars and ma…
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…
Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor Parallaxes of Galactic Cepheid Variable Stars: Period-Luminosity Relations
G. Fritz Benedict, Barbara E. McArthur, Michael W. Feast +6
(abridged) We present new absolute trigonometric parallaxes and relative proper motions for nine Galactic Cepheid variable stars: l Car, zeta Gem, beta Dor, W Sgr, X Sgr, Y Sgr, FF…
The Extrasolar Planet epsilon Eridani b - Orbit and Mass
G. Fritz Benedict, Barbara E. McArthur, George Gatewood +11
Hubble Space Telescope observations of the nearby (3.22 pc), K2 V star epsilon Eridani have been combined with ground-based astrometric and radial velocity data to determine the ma…
A New Detached M Dwarf Eclipsing Binary
O. L. Creevey, G. F. Benedict, T. M. Brown +10
We describe a newly-discovered detached M-dwarf eclipsing binary system, the fourth such system known. This system was first observed by the TrES network during a long term photome…
Detection of a NEPTUNE-mass planet in the Cancri system using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
Barbara E. McArthur, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran +9
We report the detection of the lowest mass extra-solar planet yet found around a Sun-like star - a planet with an \msini of only 14.21 2.91 Earth masses in an extremely short…
