Parallaxes And Distance Estimates For 14 Cataclysmic Variable Stars, John R. Thorstensen
Parallaxes And Distance Estimates For 14 Cataclysmic Variable Stars, John R. Thorstensen
Dartmouth Scholarship
I used the 2.4 m Hiltner Telescope at MDM Observatory in an attempt to measure trigonometric parallaxes for 14 cataclysmic variable stars. Techniques are described in detail. In the best cases the parallax uncertainties are below 1 mas, and significant parallaxes are found for most of the program stars. A Bayesian method that combines the parallaxes together with proper motions and absolute magnitude constraints is developed and used to derive distance estimates and confidence intervals. The most precise distance derive here is for WZ Sge, for which I find 43: 3.1:6 1:5 pc. Six Luyten Half-Second stars with previous precise …
