Getting Its Kicks: A VLBA Parallax for the Hyperfast Pulsar B1508+55

S. Chatterjee, W. H. T. Vlemmings, W. F. Brisken +7

The highest velocity neutron stars establish stringent constraints on natal kicks, asymmetries in supernova core collapse, and the evolution of close binary systems. Here we presen…

Pulsar Astrometry at the Microarcsecond Level

W. H. T. Vlemmings, S. Chatterjee, W. F. Brisken +12

Determination of pulsar parallaxes and proper motions addresses fundamental astrophysical questions. We have recently finished a VLBI astrometry project to determine the proper mot…

Magnetic fields around late-type stars using water maser observations

W. H. T. Vlemmings, H. J. van Langevelde, P. J. Diamond

We present the analysis of the circular polarization, due to Zeeman splitting, of the water masers around a sample of late-type stars to determine the magnetic fields in their circ…

Pulsar Parallaxes at 5 GHz with the Very Long Baseline Array

S. Chatterjee, J. M. Cordes, W. H. T. Vlemmings +3

We present the first pulsar parallaxes measured with phase-referenced pulsar VLBI observations at 5 GHz. Due to the steep spectra of pulsars, previous astrometric measurements have…

Astrometry of the OH masers of 4 Mira stars

Wouter Vlemmings, Huib Jan van Langevelde, Phil Diamond

The OH main line masers in circumstellar shells were observed with astrometric VLBI in order to accurately determine the position of the star, as well as its motion, including the…

Circular Polarization of Circumstellar Water Masers: Magnetic Fields of AGB stars

W. H. T. Vlemmings, P. J. Diamond, H. J. van Langevelde

We present circular polarization measurements of circumstellar water masers around 2 Mira variables and 4 supergaint stars. Both an LTE and non-LTE method are used to analyze the c…
