3-D Starmap 12.0 All Stars Within 12 Parsecs (40 Light-Years) of Sol 3-D Starmap 12.0 All stars within 12 parsecs (40 light-years) of Sol. All units are in parsecs. (1 parsec = 3.26 light-years) Stars are plotted in cartesian x,y,z coordinates. GJ 1243 X-Y plane is the plane of the galaxy. 1.9:11.6:2.1 +x is Coreward, -x is Rimward, NN 4201 +y is Spinward, -y is Trailing 2.9:11.3:-4.1 Star data is from HYG database. 2.1 2.9 Stars circled in green are likely to host 11.0 1.8 human-habitable planets, according to NN 4098 1.6 5.4:10.9:2.3 GJ 1234 the HabCat database. 3.8:10.8:2.4 Gray lines link each star with its two closest neighbors. 1.7 24 Iota Pegasi 1.4:10.6:-4.8 Green lines link habitable stars with their two 2.5 NN 4122 closest habitable neighbors. 4.3:10.5:0.8 Gl 4 B Links are labeled with their distance in parsecs.

  • Spektralanalyse Ausgewählter Carmenes Daten
    Master’s Thesis Spektralanalyse ausgewählter Carmenes Daten Spectroscopic analysis of Carmenes sample prepared by Andre Lamert from Merkers at the Institut für Astrophysik, Göttingen Thesis period: 1st April 2014 until 10th September 2014 First referee: Dr. Sandra Jeffers Second referee: Prof. Dr. Ansgar Reiners Abstract In the last years the number of detected exoplanets increased rapidly. Upcoming projects like CARMENES, which is planned to find terrestrial planets in the hab- itable zone of M-dwarfs, will close the gap of Earth-mass planets in the exoplanet distribution. This thesis investigates the spectral type, radial velocity and magnetic activity of candidate M-dwarfs for the CARMENES project input catalog CARMENCITA.It focuses on the determination of spectral M-type stars. Based on calibration func- tions of the code THE HAMMER, different atomic and molecular lines and bands are used to calculate spectral indices. With the aim of increasing the determination accuracy, I have written an algorithm which uses only few, but very sensitive indices. These are particular dominant for M-type stars. Additionally, the Hα line is used to determine the magnetic activity. To determine the spectral type, the radial velocity and an activity indicator I use 900 high-resolution spectra taken from 364 different stars of the input catalog. 348 of these spectra were provided as raw data from the CAFE spectrograph. I use the IDL-Package REDUCE for reduction and add a new flux extraction procedure and a modified order definition procedure to increase the extracted wavelength range and the quality of the extracted flux values. The writ- ten fast working spectral typing algorithm calculates quite accurate spectral types for high-resolution spectra, since the results of this typing confirm former results collected in CARMENCITA using low-resolution spectroscopy.

  • 195 9Mnras.119. .255E Stellar Groups, Iv. the Groombridge
    STELLAR GROUPS, IV. THE GROOMBRIDGE 1830 GROUP OF .255E HIGH VELOCITY STARS AND ITS RELATION TO THE GLOBULAR CLUSTERS 9MNRAS.119. Olm J. Eggen and Allan R. Sondage 195 (Communicated by the Astronomer Royal) (Received 1959 March 4) Summary The available proper motions and radial velocity data have been used to establish the existence of a moving group of subdwarfs (Groombridge 1830 ¿roup) which includes RR Lyrae. On the basis of the relationship between the observed ultra-violet excess and displacement below the normal main sequence, the subdwarfs in the Groombridge 1830 group are identified with main sequence stars in the globular clusters. This identification gives a modulus of m — M= i4m-2 for the globular cluster M13 with the result that ikTp-~ + om*5 for the z RR Lyrae variables and My= — 2m*3 for the brightest stars in the cluster. RR Lyrae itself, for which we derive ikfp~ + om*8 from the moving cluster parallax, is shown to obey the period-amplitude relation for the variables in M3 and to be reddened by om*o5 with respect to those variables. By equating the luminosity of RR Lyrae to the mean of the variables in M3 we obtain a modulus of m — M= i5m-o for the cluster. We have not derived this modulus in the logical way of fitting the M3 main sequence to the main sequence of the Groombridge 1830 group because the colour observations of the M3 main sequence stars may contain a systematic error. Because the presence of RR Lyrae variables in stellar groups may provide the only accurate calibration of the luminosities of these stars, it is important to make a systematic search for such groups.

  • Star Systems in the Solar Neighborhood up to 10 Parsecs Distance
    Vol. 16 No. 3 June 15, 2020 Journal of Double Star Observations Page 229 Star Systems in the Solar Neighborhood up to 10 Parsecs Distance Wilfried R.A. Knapp Vienna, Austria [email protected] Abstract: The stars and star systems in the solar neighborhood are for obvious reasons the most likely best investigated stellar objects besides the Sun. Very fast proper motion catches the attention of astronomers and the small distances to the Sun allow for precise measurements so the wealth of data for most of these objects is impressive. This report lists 94 star systems (doubles or multiples most likely bound by gravitation) in up to 10 parsecs distance from the Sun as well over 60 questionable objects which are for different reasons considered rather not star systems (at least not within 10 parsecs) but might be if with a small likelihood. A few of the listed star systems are newly detected and for several systems first or updated preliminary orbits are suggested. A good part of the listed nearby star systems are included in the GAIA DR2 catalog with par- allax and proper motion data for at least some of the components – this offers the opportunity to counter-check the so far reported data with the most precise star catalog data currently available. A side result of this counter-check is the confirmation of the expectation that the GAIA DR2 single star model is not well suited to deliver fully reliable parallax and proper motion data for binary or multiple star systems. 1.

  • Abstract a Search for Extrasolar Planets Using Echoes Produced in Flare Events
    ABSTRACT A SEARCH FOR EXTRASOLAR PLANETS USING ECHOES PRODUCED IN FLARE EVENTS A detection technique for searching for extrasolar planets using stellar flare events is explored, including a discussion of potential benefits, potential problems, and limitations of the method. The detection technique analyzes the observed time versus intensity profile of a star’s energetic flare to determine possible existence of a nearby planet. When measuring the pulse of light produced by a flare, the detection of an echo may indicate the presence of a nearby reflective surface. The flare, acting much like the pulse in a radar system, would give information about the location and relative size of the planet. This method of detection has the potential to give science a new tool with which to further humankind’s understanding of planetary systems.

The Terms of Reference and membership for WG Star Names (WGSN) are provided at the IAU website: https://www.iau.org/science/scientific_bodies/working_groups/280/. ​ ​ ​ WGSN was re-proposed to Division C and was approved in April 2019 as a functional WG whose scope extends beyond the normal 3-year cycle of IAU working groups. The WGSN was specifically called out on p. 22 of IAU Strategic Plan 2020-2030: “The IAU serves as the ​ internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and their surface features. To do so, the IAU has a number of Working Groups on various topics, most notably on the nomenclature of small bodies in the Solar System and planetary systems under Division F and on Star Names under Division C.” WGSN continues its long term activity of researching cultural astronomy literature for star names, and researching etymologies with the goal of adding this information to the WGSN’s online materials.
