The adoption of the International Celestial Reference System MRS based on VLBI observations of extragalactic radio sources, by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), since 1st January 1998, has open a new era for astronomy. The MRS and the corresponding frame ICRF replaced the FK5 based on positions and proper motions of bright stars. According to its ...

A previous outburst of the eruptive star associated with the transient X- ray source A0620-00, first detected in 1975 August, has been discovered on Harvard plates taken in 1917. We present the light curve of the earlier event and conclude that this star is a typical recurrent nova with an absolute magnitude M/sub V/=-5.9+-0.5 at maximum brightness. The A0620-00 star ...

We present observational results on the red supergiant VY Canis Majoris with VERA. We have observed 22 GHz H_2O masers and 43 GHz SiO masers (v=1 and 2 J=1-0) around VY CMa for 13 months. We successfully detected a parallax of 0.87 � 0.08 mas, corresponding to 1.15 +0.10 -0.09 kpc of distance using H_2O masers. As results of phase--referencing analyses, we have measured ...

The NPM2 Catalog is the second part of the Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) program to measure absolute proper motions, on an inertial system defined by distant galaxies, for nearly 400,000 stars over a blue apparent magnitude range from 8 to 18. There are 1246 6x6degree fields in the NPM ...

The results of UBV photometry for 32 large proper motion stars are presented. The (B - V) vs. (U - B) diagram is used to select probable subluminous stars. The stars which are nearer than 20 pc according to their photometric parallaxes are given. (auth)

The longitudinal proper motion of sunspot groups has been shown to be a function of their size and relative extension in longitude. Two theories are proposed to explain these effects, which theories assume that the wind circulation of the spots and the wi...

This paper reviews the Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) program, describing its goals, organization, and methods, summarizing its progress, and outlining the work remaining for the future. The first phase of the NPM Program (outside the Milky Way) is now nearing completion.

We describe a powerful cross-correlation technique for the precise measurement of the proper motion of tracers seen on successive images of a time series of solar granulation. The cross correlation is defined as a function of position in the image, within...

The three-year LDRD ''CNC Micromachines'' was successfully completed at the end of FY02. The project had four major breakthroughs in spatial motion control in MEMS: (1) A unified method for designing scalable planar and spatial on-chip motion control systems was developed. The method relies on the use of parallel ...

Aims: WISE provides an infrared all-sky survey that aims at completing our knowledge on the possibly dramatically increasing number of brown dwarfs with lower temperatures. We search for the nearest representatives of the coolest brown dwarfs, which will be very interesting for detailed follow-up observations, once they have been discovered. Methods: We used the preliminary data release from ...

A set of 41 nearby stars (closer than 25 pc) is investigated which have very wide binary and common proper motion (CPM) companions at projected separations between 1000 and 200,000 AU. These companions are identified by astrometric positions and proper motions from the NOMAD catalog. Based mainly on measures of ...

The neutron star X-ray binary Circinus X-1 is known to have a relatively low proper motion and systemic radial velocity, demonstrating that the system has a substantial peculiar velocity. With a proper motion of <5 mas/yr, high-precision VLBI astrometric observations are therefore the only way to accurately ...

We present a novel technique to determine the absolute inclination of single stars using multi-wavelength submilliarcsecond astrometry. The technique exploits the effect of gravity darkening, which causes a wavelength-dependent astrometric displacement parallel to a star's projected rotation axis. We find that this effect is clearly detectable using SIM Lite for ...

We report on the results of astrometric observations of H2O masers toward a Mira variable, SY Sculptoris (SY Scl), with the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) from 2006 October to 2008 October. We determined that SY Scl's annual parallax is 0.75�0.03 mas, corresponding to a distance of 1.33�0.05 kpc. SY Scl is 1.3 kpc south of the Galactic plane and moves approximately south from the ...

I discuss the prospects of detecting the smallest dark matter bound structures present in the Milky Way by searching for the proper motion of gamma-ray sources in the upcoming Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope all sky map.

In continuation of the General Catalogue of Proper Motions in the North Polar Cap-the area north of declination +75 - data are here given for the proper motions of 7041 stars with declinations between +70 and +75 (1950). These were found and measured on 2...

The positions and proper motions of HZ Her, the optical counterpart of the x-ray source Her X-1, and 12 field stars are determined in the system of the FK4. The proper motion of HZ Her is consistent with that expected from a relatively low peculiar velocity object located at the approx.3 kpc distance estimated for ...

We report the identification of fifteen new common proper motion stars detected during the course of an extensive data mining search in astrometric and non-astrometric databases. In order to compile our final list, several catalogs were searched and compared; this approach allows us to avoid overlooking potential pairs due to large differences in the ...

Several nebular features, as well as one faint star, with large proper motions were identified within the Orion nebula. The measured proper motions correspond to tangential velocities of up to approximately 70 km sec/sup -1/. One new probable variable star was also found.
