Parallaxes to Young Stars in Nearby Associations

这是一个致力于测量上Sco星系团和Chamaeleon I星系团附近低质量恒星的视差的观测项目。低质量恒星，如M0-M3光谱类型，之所以成为焦点，是因为它们对恒星演化和行星形成模型很重要，也因为这些光谱类型的精确距离很少为人所知，因为没有包括在伊巴谷任务和其他调查中(因为对于以前的研究来说太暗了)。PI已经获得了大部分必要的数据，并将使用拉斯坎帕纳斯天文台的CAPSCAM来获得其余的观测数据。广泛的影响包括培训和指导博士后研究人员，以及参加卡内基夏季学者计划的本科生。

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.
