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…

HST Fine Guidance Sensor Parallaxes for Four Classical Novae

Thomas E. Harrison, Jillian Bornak, Barbara E. McArthur +1

We have used data obtained with the Fine Guidance Sensors on the Hubble Space Telescope to derive precise astrometric parallaxes for four classical novae: V603 Aql, DQ Her, GK Per,…

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…

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…

An HST parallax of the distant cataclysmic variable V1223 Sgr, its system parameters, and accretion rate

K. Beuermann, Th. E. Harrison, B. E. McArthur +2

Using the Hubble space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor, we have measured the trigonometric parallax of the bright cataclysmic variable 1223 Sgr. The absolute parallax is pi(abs)= 1.…
