Photocentre displacement of minor planets: analysis of Hipparcos astrometry
We present a study of the phase effect (or photocentre offset) on the astrometry of minor planets. Analysis of the high precision Hipparcos observations of the largest asteroids shows the validity of the model. Minor planets Ceres, Pallas, Vesta and Iris show a brightness distribution close to the lunar scattering properties, while Juno and Hebe are found to be more uniformly bright objects. Fo...
متن کاملHD 209458 planetary transits from Hipparcos photometry ?
During its 39-month mission, Hipparcos observed the star HD 209458 on 89 occasions. Five of these observations are shown to correspond to epochs of planetary transits, with a 2.3 ± 0.4% mean decrease of flux in the Hp band being observed during the transits. As a result of the long temporal baseline of more than 8 years between the Hipparcos and radial velocity measurements, an accurate orbital...
متن کاملA sample of planetary nebulae observed by HIPPARCOS
By using HIPPARCOS data (magnitudes, parallaxes, proper motions), (1) we determine new values of the apparent luminosity of the central stars of 19 planetary nebulae, (2) we discuss their distance and position on the T/L diagram. By comparison with the distances determined by individual or statistical methods, we see that most of these “ground” distances look overestimated when we trust the HIP...
متن کاملDetection and Characterization of Planetary Systems with Μas Astrometry
Astrometry as a technique has so far proved of limited utility when employed as either a follow-up tool or to independently search for planetary mass companions orbiting nearby stars. However, this is bound to change during the next decade. In this review, I start by summarizing past and present efforts to detect planets via milliarcsecond astrometry. Next, I provide an overview of the variety ...
متن کاملTidal Limits to Planetary Habitability
The habitable zones of main sequence stars have traditionally been defined as the range of orbits that intercept the appropriate amount of stellar flux to permit surface water on a planet. Terrestrial exoplanets discovered to orbit M stars in these zones, which are close-in due to decreased stellar luminosity, may also undergo significant tidal heating. Tidal heating may span a wide range for t...
