The eta Aquilae System: Radial Velocities and Astrometry in Search of eta Aql B
G. Fritz Benedict, Thomas G. Barnes, Nancy R. Evans +4
The classical Cepheid eta Aql was not included in past Leavitt Law work (Benedict et al. 2007) because of a presumed complicating orbit due to a known B9.8V companion. To determine…
Precision Millimeter Astrometry of the Centauri AB System
Rachel Akeson, Charles Beichman, Pierre Kervella +2
Centauri A is the closest solar-type star to the Sun and offers the best opportunity to find and ultimately to characterize an Earth-sized planet located in its Habitable Zone…
Dissecting the Quadruple Binary Hyad vA 351 -- Masses for three M Dwarfs and a White Dwarf
G. Fritz Benedict, Otto G. Franz, Elliott P. Horch +8
We extend results first announced by Franz et al. (1998), that identified vA 351 = H346 in the Hyades as a multiple star system containing a white dwarf. With Hubble Space Telescop…
HD 202206 : A Circumbinary Brown Dwarf System
G. Fritz Benedict, Thomas E. Harrison
With Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor astrometry and previously published radial velocity measures we explore the exoplanetary system HD 202206. Our modeling results in…
Testing Metal Poor Stellar Models and Isochrones with HST Parallaxes of Metal Poor Stars
B. Chaboyer, B. E. McArthur, E. O'Malley +7
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) fine guidance sensor observations were used to obtain parallaxes of eight metal-poor ([Fe/H] < -1.4) stars. The parallaxes of these stars determined by…
The Solar Neighborhood XXXVII: The Mass-Luminosity Relation for Main Sequence M Dwarfs
G. F. Benedict, T. J. Henry, O. G. Franz +8
We present a Mass-Luminosity Relation (MLR) for red dwarfs spanning a range of masses from 0.62 Msun to the end of the stellar main sequence at 0.08 Msun. The relation is based on…
