NSTARS: Completing the Inventory of Nearby Stars: An automated, all-sky search for high proper-motion stars using the Digitized Sky Surveys

AST-0087313SharaDr.迈克尔·沙拉正在进行一次全天测量，利用第一和第二纪元的数字化天空测量数据，在太阳附近发现附近的高自行物体。SUPERBLINK软件工具被用来识别在两个相隔约40年的图像纪元之间移动的物体。该项目的主要目标是完成太阳附近较低主序、白矮星和亚矮星的普查。精心挑选的样本子集将成为空间干涉测量任务(SIM)的目标。这个项目产生的整个数据库被整合到一个网络可访问的资源中。该项目的资金由美国国家科学基金会和美国国家航空航天局联合发起的“附近恒星(NStars)”计划和国家科学基金会数学与物理科学多学科活动办公室(MPS/OMA)提供。*

AST-0087313SharaDr. Michael Shara is conducting an all-sky survey to discover nearby high proper motion objects in the solar neighborhood using first- and second-epoch Digitized Sky Survey data. The SUPERBLINK software tool is used to identify objects that have moved between the two image epochs, roughly spaced 40 years apart. The main goal of the project is to complete the census of lower main sequence, white dwarf and subdwarf stars in the solar neighborhood. A carefully selected subset of this sample will be targets for the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM). The entire database generated by this project is incorporated into a web-accessible resource.Funding for this project is provided through the joint NSF/NASA "Nearby Stars (NStars)" initiative and the NSF Mathematical & Physical Sciences Directorate Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (MPS/OMA).***
