PARALLAX AND DISTANCE ESTIMATES FOR TWELVE CATACLYSMIC VARIABLE STARS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2008 We report parallax and distance estimates for twelve more cataclysmic binaries and related objects observed with the 2.4m Hiltner telescope at MDM Observatory. The final parallax accuracy is typically about 1 mas. For only one of the twelve objects, IR Gem, do we fail to detect a significant parallax.
