An Absence of Gaps in the Main-Sequence Population of Field Stars
An Absence of Gaps in the Main-Sequence Population of Field Stars
Using high-precision parallaxes from the Hipparcos catalog, we construct H-R diagrams for two samples of bright stars. The first is a magnitude-limited sample that is over 90% complete and uses uniform photometry from the Catalog of WBVR Magnitudes of Northern Sky Bright Stars (δ > -14°). This sample shows a …
