Distances and absolute magnitudes from trigonometric parallaxes
In astrophysical applications, derived quantities like distances, absolute magnitudes and velocities are used instead of the observed quantities, such as parallaxes and proper motions. As the observed values are affected by random errors and selection effects, the estimates of the astrophysical quantities can be biased if a correct statistical treatment is not used. This paper presents and disc...
متن کاملCarbon-Rich Mira Variables: Kinematics and Absolute Magnitudes
The kinematics of galactic C-Miras are discussed on the basis of the bolometric magnitudes and radial velocities of Papers I and II of this series. Differential galactic rotation is used to derive a zero-point for the bolometric period-luminosity relation which is in satisfactory agreement with that inferred from the LMC C-Miras. We find for the galactic Miras, Mbol = −2.54logP + 2.06(±0.24), w...
متن کاملThe absolute magnitudes of RR Lyrae stars from HIPPARCOS parallaxes ?
Using the method of “reduced parallaxes” for the Halo RR Lyrae stars in the hipparcos catalogue we derive a zero point of 0.77 ± 0.26 mag for an assumed slope of 0.18 in the MV-[Fe/H] relation. This is 0.28 magnitude brighter than the value Fernley et al. (1998a) derived by employing the method of statistical parallax for the identical sample and using the same slope. We point out that a simila...
متن کاملThe Luminosities and Diameters of Mira Variables from Hipparcos Parallaxes
Hipparcos trigonometrical parallaxes of Mira-type variables have been combined with ground-based angular diameter measurements to derive linear diameters. Of eight stars with ground-based data, six have diameters indicating overtone pulsation whilst two, both with periods over 400 day, are pulsating in the fundamental. Hipparcos parallaxes of 11 Miras have been combined with extensive infrared ...
