Astrometry With The Hubble Space Telescope: Trigonometric Parallaxes Of Planetary Nebula Nuclei NGC 6853, NGC 7293, Abell 31, And Deht 5

Benedict, G. Fritz; McArthur, Barbara E.; Napiwotzki, Ralph; Harrison, Thomas E.; Harris, Hugh C.; Nelan, Edmund; Bond, Howard E.; Patterson, Richard J.; Ciardullo, Robin (2009-12)

We present absolute parallaxes and relative proper motions for the central stars of the planetary nebulae NGC 6853 (The Dumbbell), NGC 7293 (The Helix), Abell 31, and DeHt 5. This paper details our reduction and analysis ...

The First Two Transient Supersoft X-Ray Sources In M 31 Globular Clusters And The Connection To Classical Novae

Henze, M.; Pietsch, W.; Haberl, F.; Sala, G.; Quimby, R.; Hernanz, M.; Della Valle, M.; Milne, P.; Williams, G. G.; Burwitz, V.; Greiner, J.; Stiele, H.; Hartmann, D. H.; Kong, A. K. H.; Hornoch, K. (2009-06)

Context. Classical novae (CNe) have been found to represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in our neighbour galaxy M 31. Aims. We determine the properties and evolution of the two first SSSs ever discovered ...

HR 8257: A Three-Dimensional Orbit And Basic Properties

Fekel, Francis C.; Boden, Andrew F.; Tomkin, Jocelyn; Torres, Guillermo (2009-04)

We have used interferometric and spectroscopic observations of HR 8257 to determine a three-dimensional orbit of the system. The orbit has a period of 12.21345 days and an eccentricity of 0.2895. The masses of the F0 and ...

Characterization Of The HD 17156 Planetary System

Barbieri, M.; Alonso, R.; Desidera, S.; Sozzetti, A.; Fiorenzano, A. F. M.; Almenara, J. M.; Cecconi, M.; Claudi, R. U.; Charbonneau, D.; Endl, M.; Granata, V.; Gratton, R.; Laughlin, G.; Loeillet, B.; Exoplanet Amateur, Consortium (2009-08)

Aims. We present data to improve the known parameters of the HD 17156 system (peculiar due to the eccentricity and long orbital period of its transiting planet) and constrain the presence of stellar companions. Methods. ...

High-Resolution Spectroscopy Of Ne II Emission From AA Tau And GM Aur

Najita, Joan R.; Doppmann, Greg W.; Bitner, Martin A.; Richter, Matthew J.; Lacy, John H.; Jaffe, Daniel T.; Carr, John S.; Meijerink, Rowin; Blake, Geoffrey A.; Herczeg, Gregory J.; Glassgold, Alfred E. (2009-05)

We present high-resolution (R = 80,000) spectroscopy of [Ne II] emission from two young stars, GM Aur and AA Tau, which have moderate to high inclinations. The emission from both sources appears centered near the stellar ...
