LP 944-020 - Distance

Distance

According C. G. Tinney's 1996 paper "CCD astrometry of southern very low-mass stars", LP 944-020 (designated there as BRI 0337-3535) has relative parallax mas, and correction from relative to absolute parallax (i. e. mean parallax of the reference frame stars) mas. This yields absolute parallax mas, and standard deviation of absolute parallax (according formula ) mas, and this corresponds to a distance of pc, or ly. (The same values of absolute parallax and its standard deviation are in RECONS' TOP100 list, which is referenced to the aforementioned Tinney's article.)

Famous quotes containing the word distance:

    And then he heard some old forgotten talk
    At a short distance like a hundred miles
    Filling the air with its secrecy,
    And was afraid of all the living air....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
