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…
Interferometric Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor 3:The Parallax of the Cataclysmic Variable TV Columbae
B. E. McArthur, G. F. Benedict, J. Lee +13
TV Columbae (TV Col) is a 13th magnitude Intermediate Polar (IP) Cataclysmic Variable (CV), with multiple periods found in the light curves. Past estimates predicted a distance of…
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…
Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor 3: The Parallax of the Cataclysmic Variable RW Triangulum
B. E. McArthur, G. F. Benedict, J. Lee +12
RW Triangulum (RW Tri) is a 13th magnitude Nova-like Cataclysmic Variable star with an orbital period of 0.2319 days (5.56 hours). Infrared observations of RW Tri indicate that its…
Photometry of Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star Using HST Fine Guidance Sensor 3: A Search for Periodic Variations
G. Fritz Benedict, Barbara McArthur, E. Nelan +10
We have observed Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star with Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor 3. Proxima Centauri exhibits small-amplitude, periodic photometric variations.…
