The Distances to Open Clusters from Main-Sequence Fitting. III. Improved Accuracy with Empirically Calibrated Isochrones

Deokkeun An, Donald M. Terndrup, Marc H. Pinsonneault +3

We continue our series of papers on open cluster distances with a critical assessment of the accuracy of main-sequence fitting using isochrones that employ empirical corrections to…

A Hot DQ White Dwarf in the Open Star Cluster M35

Kurtis A. Williams, James Liebert, Michael Bolte +1

We report the discovery of a hot DQ white dwarf, NGC 2168:LAWDS 28, that is a likely member of the 150-Myr old cluster NGC 2168 (Messier 35). The spectrum of the white dwarf is dom…

Lick Northern Proper Motion Program. III. Lick NPM2 Catalog

Robert B. Hanson, Arnold R. Klemola, Burton F. Jones +1

The Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) program, a two-epoch (1947-1988) photographic survey of the northern two-thirds of the sky (Dec. > -23 deg), has measured absolute proper moti…

The Distances to Open Clusters as Derived from Main-sequence Fitting. II. Construction of Empirically Calibrated Isochrones

M. H. Pinsonneault, D. M. Terndrup, R. B. Hanson +1

We continue our series of papers on open cluster distances by comparing multicolor photometry of single stars in the Hyades to theoretical isochrones constructed with various color…

Kinematics of Metal-Poor Stars in the Galaxy. II. Proper Motions for a Large Non-Kinematically Selected Sample

T. C. Beers, M. Chiba, Y. Yoshii +4

We present a revised catalog of 2106 Galactic stars, selected without kinematic bias, and with available radial velocities, distance estimates, and metal abundances in the range 0.…

The Problem of Hipparcos Distances to Open Clusters: I. Constraints from Multicolor Main Sequence Fitting

Marc H. Pinsonneault, John Stauffer, David R. Soderblom +2

Parallax data from the Hipparcos mission allow the direct distance to open clusters to be compared with the distance inferred from main sequence (MS) fitting. There are surprising…
