The Problem of Hipparcos Distances to Open Clusters. II. Constraints from Nearby Field Stars [PDF]
, 1998 This paper examines the discrepancy between distances to nearby open clusters as determined by parallaxes from Hipparcos compared to traditional main sequence fitting. The biggest difference is seen for the Pleiades, and our hypothesis is that if the Hipparcos distance to the Pleiades is correct, then similar subluminous ZAMS stars should exist ...

From the general catalog we extract a sample of isolated high-velocity clouds, CHVCs: anomalous-velocity HI clouds which are sharply bounded in angular extent with no kinematic or spatial connection to other HI features down to a ...
