A&a Manuscript No. the Tycho Star Mapper Background Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Hipparcos star mapper detector background signal has been analyzed in the Tycho reductions for contributions due to the diiuse galactic light. The methods are presented by which the contributions from the two elds of view of the telescope are separated after elimination of background variations due to the radiation environment (Van Allen belts). A complete sky background map, with a resolution of 0.25 square degrees and based on the data accumulated through almost two years of the mission is presented.

The IMF of open star clusters with Tycho – 2
We studied the fields of nine nearby open star clusters based on the Tycho–2 catalogue. We determined membership probabilities for the stars in the cluster fields from the stellar proper motions and used the Tycho–2 photometry to compute the initial mass function (IMF) of the clusters from the main sequence turn-off point down to approx. 1M⊙. We found IMF slopes ranging from Γ = −0.69 down to Γ...
متن کاملThe Chemical Abundances of Tycho G in Supernova Remnant 1572
We present an analysis of the chemical abundances of the star Tycho G in the direction of the remnant of supernova (SN) 1572, based on Keck high-resolution optical spectra. The stellar parameters of this star are found to be those of a G-type subgiant with Teff = 5900± 100 K, log(g/cm s2) = 3.85± 0.30 dex, and [Fe/H] = −0.05 ± 0.09. This determination agrees with the stellar parameters derived ...
متن کاملP-216: Common Polymorphisms of StAR Gene Are Not Associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Iranian Patients
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting 5-10% of reproductive aged women. High levels of androgen hormone can be accounted as the most important symptoms in PCOS. Androgen is the precursor of steroid biosynthesis in ovary. The transport of cholesterol to the inner mitochondrial membrane through StAR protein is also necessary for andr...
متن کاملInterstellar reddening from the Hipparcos and Tycho catalogues I. Distances to nearby molecular clouds and star forming regions
The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues offer an interesting possibility to study the local distribution of interstellar reddening from the combination of data contained in the catalogues: Hipparcos parallaxes, Tycho B V and spectral and luminosity classification compiled from the literature. Parallactic distances may be derived for known absorbing features such as local molecular clouds and for lar...
متن کاملThe vertical metallicity gradients of mono-age stellar populations in the Milky Way with the RAVE and Gaia data
We investigate the vertical metallicity gradients of five mono-age stellar populations between 0 and 11Gyr for a sample of 18 435 dwarf stars selected from the cross-matched Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution and Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) Data Release 5. We find a correlation between the vertical metallicity gradients and age, with no vertical metallicity gradient in the youngest populatio...
