This is an observational project devoted to measuring the parallaxes of nearby low-mass stars in the Upper Sco and Chamaeleon I clusters. Low-mass stars, such as M0-M3 spectral types, are the focus because of their importance to stellar evolution and planet formation models, and because very few accurate distances are known for these spectral types, due to not being included in the Hipparcos mission and other surveys (due to being too faint for previous studies). The PI has obtained most of the necessary data and will use the CAPSCam at Las Campanas Observatory to get the rest of the observations.Broader impacts include training and mentoring a postdoctoral researcher, and undergraduate students participating in the Carnegie Summer Scholars program.

这是一个观察项目，致力于测量上SCO和Chamaeleon I簇中附近低质量恒星的视差。 低质量恒星（例如M0-M3光谱类型）是重点，因为它们对恒星进化和行星形成模型的重要性，并且由于这些光谱类型已知的准确距离很少，因此由于没有包含在Hipparcos任务和其他勘测中（由于先前的研究太虚弱而已）。 PI获得了大多数必要的数据，并将在Las Campanas天文台使用CapScam进行其余观察。Broader的影响包括培训和指导博士后研究员，以及参加Carnegie Summer Summer Scholars计划的本科生。
