VI photometry of extra-galactic Cepheids
In this paper, we recalibrate the Cepheid distance to some nearby galaxies observed by the HST Key Project and the Sandage-Tammann-Saha group. We use much of the Key Project... -
Mass-loss rates of galactic AGB stars
We are using the 2002 data-release from the Japanese space experiment IRTS to investigate the spatial distribution of galactic mass-losing (>2x10^-8_M_{sun}/yr) AGB stars and... -
Galactic mass-losing AGB stars
AGB mass-losing sources are easy to identify and to characterize in the near-infrared range (1-5{mu}m). We make use of the near-infrared data acquired by the Japanese space... -
Mass segregation in open clusters
On the basis of the best available member list and duplicity information, we have studied the radial structure of Praesepe and of the very young open cluster NGC 6231. We have... -
HIPPARCOS Ba stars
HIPPARCOS astrometric and kinematical data together with radial velocities from other sources are used to calibrate both luminosity and kinematics parameters of Ba stars and to... -
Metal-poor stars spectroscopy. II
Models of post-main sequence stellar evolution of VandenBerg & Bell have been applied to determine spectroscopic masses and distances for metal-poor stars. Careful... -
Hyades members distances
Distances for 145 Hyades members in an extended region of the Hyades cluster were derived on the basis of new, highly accurate proper motions obtained from work on the... -
K2 Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog (EPIC)
The K2 Mission (Howell+, 2014PASP..126..398H) uses the Kepler spacecraft to obtain high-precision photometry over ~80 day campaigns in the ecliptic plane. The Ecliptic Plane... -
StarHorse2, Gaia EDR3 photo-astrometric distances
We present a catalogue of 362 million stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions derived from Gaia's Early Data Release (EDR3) cross-matched with the photometric catalogues... -
Distances to 1.47 billion stars in Gaia EDR3
Stellar distances constitute a foundational pillar of astrophysics. The publication of 1.47 billion stellar parallaxes from Gaia is a major contribution to this. Yet despite... -
StarHorse, Gaia DR2 photo-astrometric distances
Combining the precise parallaxes and optical photometry delivered by Gaia's second data release with the photometric catalogues of Pan-STARRS1, 2MASS, and AllWISE, we derived... -
Distances to 1.33 billion stars in Gaia DR2
For the majority of stars in the second Gaia data release, reliable distances cannot be obtained by inverting the parallax. A correct inference procedure must instead be used to... -
A classifier for spurious astrometric solutions in Gaia EDR3
This table contains estimates of the "fidelity" of Gaia eDR3 astrometric solutions, a measure of the likelihood the eDR3 solution is physical rather than spurious obtained using... -
Geometric and photogeometric distances to 1.47 billion stars in Gaia Early Da...
We estimate the distance from the Sun to sources in Gaia eDR3 that have parallaxes. We provide two types of distance estimate, together with their corresponding asymmetric... -
Gaia DR3 Lite Distances Subset Cone Search
This service returns the most important Gaia DR3 gaia_source columns together with robust geometric and photogeometric distances for the ~1.47 billion objects in Bailer-Jones et... -
Estimated distances to 1.33 billion stars in Gaia DR2
This catalogue provides distances estimates (and uncertainties therein) for 1.33 billion stars over the whole sky brighter than about G=20.7. These have been estimated using the...
