AST-0507711INSTITUTION: Georgia State UniversityPI: Todd HenryTITLE: The RECONS Investigation of the Solar NeighborhoodABSTRACTDr. Todd Henry, at the Georgia State University, will undertake research under the Research Consortium on Nearby Stars ("RECONS") program. RECONS has several goals, among them providing a census of stars within 10 parsecs of the Sun, the identification of white dwarfs within 25 parsecs of the Sun, the identification of subdwarfs in the Solar neighborhood, a search for companions to white and red dwarfs, and identification of other nearby stars though proper motion data.The primary broader impact of the proposed research is in the area of student training in the field of astrometry. Additionally, a variety of efforts within astronomy will benefit from a census of nearby stars, among them searches for extrasolar planets and searches for dark matter.

AST-0507711研究机构：格鲁吉亚州立大学PI：托德亨利标题：太阳邻居的RECONS调查摘要格鲁吉亚州立大学的托德·亨利将在近地恒星研究联盟（“RECONS”）计划下进行研究。 RECONS有几个目标，其中包括提供太阳10秒差距内的恒星普查，太阳25秒差距内的白色矮星的识别，太阳附近的亚矮星的识别，寻找白色和红矮星的同伴，以及通过自行数据识别附近的其他恒星。拟议研究的主要广泛影响是在学生培训领域，天体测量领域。 此外，天文学中的各种努力将受益于对附近恒星的普查，其中包括对太阳系外行星的搜索和对暗物质的搜索。
