Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope: A Parallax of the Central Star of the Planetary Nebula NGC 6853

G. Fritz Benedict, B. E. McArthur, L. W. Fredrick +17

We present an absolute parallax and relative proper motion for the central star of the planetary nebula NGC 6853 (The Dumbell). We obtain these with astrometric data from FGS 3, a…

Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope: A Parallax of the Fundamental Distance Calibrator delta Cephei

G. Fritz Benedict, B. E. McArthur, L. W. Fredrick +16

We present an absolute parallax and relative proper motion for the fundamental distance scale calibrator, delta Cep. We obtain these with astrometric data from FGS 3, a white-light…

Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope: A Parallax of the Fundamental Distance Calibrator RR Lyrae

G. Fritz Benedict, B. E. McArthur, L. W. Fredrick +16

We present an absolute parallax and relative proper motion for the fundamental distance scale calibrator, RR Lyr. We obtain these with astrometric data from FGS 3, a white-light in…

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…

The Distance to the Hyades Cluster Based on HST Fine Guidance Sensor Parallaxes

W. F. van Altena

Trigonometric parallax observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope's Fine Guidance Sensor #3 (HST FGS) of seven Hyades Cluster members in six fields of view have been analyze…
