Additional catalogues were compiled for the 23, 882 double / multiple stars and 11, 597 variable stars also analyzed during the Hipparcos mission.

Delta Cephei is also of particular importance as a calibrator of the Cepheid period-luminosity relation since its distance is among the most precisely established for a Cepheid, thanks in part to its membership in a star cluster and the availability of precise Hubble Space Telescope / Hipparcos parallaxes.

The name of the space telescope Hipparcos was an acronym for High Precision Parallax Collecting Satellite, and also reflected the name of the Greek astronomer Hipparchus.

The Hipparcos satellite also did not study it, so its true distance is poorly known.

According to the Hipparcos satellite, Arcturus is 36. 7 light years ( 11. 3 parsecs ) from Earth, relatively close in astronomical terms.

According to Hipparcos, Alioth is 81 light years ( 25 parsecs ) from Earth.

Its distance is uncertain ; pre-Hipparcos estimates centered around 220 light-years, while Hipparcos data suggest a distance of 418 light-years, albeit with a margin of error of ~ 14 %.

Yet some authors argue that the controversy over the distance to the Pleiades discussed below is a red herring, since the cosmic distance ladder can ( presently ) rely on a suite of other nearby clusters where consensus exists regarding the distances as established by Hipparcos and independent means ( e. g., the Hyades, Coma Berenices cluster, etc.

However, the author of the 2007 – 2009 catalog of revised Hipparcos parallaxes reasserted that the distance to the Pleiades is ~ 120 pc, and challenged the dissenting evidence.

Based upon parallax measurements made with Hipparcos astrometry satellite, α Arietis is about from Earth.

At an estimated distance of 110 parsecs from Hipparcos, this corresponds to a radius of about 280 million kilometers ( or 170 million miles ), which is roughly 400R < sub >☉</ sub > or 1. 87 AU .< ref name =" NOTERADIUS " group =" note "> To determine the Rasalgheti's radius in terms of solar units, the calculations begin with the formula for angular diameter as follows:

This is a class A star on the main sequence approximately from Earth as measured by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite.

Even so, Hipparcos is only able to measure parallax angles for stars up to about 1, 600 light-years away, a little more than one percent of the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Based upon parallax measurements with the Hipparcos astrometry satellite, Kapteyn's Star is at a distance of from the Earth.

As determined by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite, it is approximately away.

Based upon parallax measurements from the astrometric Hipparcos satellite, the distance to this system is about.

The resulting Hipparcos reference frame is thus the materialisation of the ICRS in the optical.

At the accuracy levels of Hipparcos it is of ( marginal ) importance only for the nearest stars with the largest radial velocities and proper motions, but was accounted for in the 21 cases for which the accumulated positional effect over two years exceeds 0. 1 milliarc-sec.

Upsilon Andromedae is located fairly close to the Solar System: the parallax of Upsilon Andromedae A was measured by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite as 74. 12 milliarcseconds, corresponding to a distance of 13. 49 parsecs ( 44 light years ).

The program is based on the Hipparcos Catalogue ( HIP ) and allows users to travel through an extensive universe, modeled after reality, at any speed, in any direction and at any time in history.

Successor to the Hipparcos mission, it is part of ESA's Horizon 2000 Plus long-term scientific program.

It is from the Sun as measured by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite, which, as the distance is nearly 10 parsecs, means its absolute magnitude is almost equal to its apparent magnitude.

The total variability is among the lowest of all stars that have been measured by the Hipparcos spacecraft.

The 55 Cancri system is located fairly close to our solar system: the Hipparcos astrometry satellite measured the parallax of 55 Cancri A as 81. 03 milliarcseconds, corresponding to a distance of 12. 3 parsecs ( 40. 3 light years ).

Recent results remain inconclusive, but do support the marginal Hipparcos detection of a binary companion .< ref >

If a binary star has a long orbital period such that non-linear motions of the photocentre were insignificant over the short ( 3-year ) measurement duration, the binary nature of the star would pass unrecognised by Hipparcos, but could show as a Hipparcos proper motion discrepant compared to those established from long temporal baseline proper motion programmes on ground.

Adhara is a binary star, estimated by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite to lie about 430 light years away from Earth.

In 1978 the primary component was reported to be a spectroscopic binary in the Proceeding of the Australian Astronomical observatory, and this was confirmed by the Hipparcos satellite.

This pre-defined star list formed the Hipparcos Input Catalogue: each star in the final Hipparcos Catalogue was contained in the Input Catalogue.

The distance to this star can be deduced from the parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos, yielding a value of.

The star had been observed many times by the Hipparcos satellite, which allowed astronomers to calculate the orbital period of HD 209458 b very accurately at 3. 524736 days.

The list was based upon the Hipparcos Catalogue ( which has 118, 218 stars ) by filtering on a wide range of star system features.

Based on parallax measurements from the Hipparcos astrometry satellite, the star is at a distance of about from Earth.

According to astrometric measurements made by the Hipparcos satellite, the star shows a parallax of 213. 28 milliarcseconds, which corresponds to a distance of, currently making it the third closest known star with orbiting planets, after Epsilon Eridani and Gliese 674.

Before the launching of the Hipparcos satellite telescope, distance estimates for the star varied widely, from 96 light years to 1200 light years.

Using the parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, the distance to this star system can be estimated as, give or take a half light year margin of error.

The distance to this star, determined using parallax measurements from the Hipparcos astrometry satellite, yields an estimated value of from Earth.

According to Hipparcos, the New Reduction ( van Leeuwen, 2007 ), the estimated distance to the star is about 70 parsecs or 228 light years.

The distance to this star can be estimated using parallax measurements from the Hipparcos astrometry satellite, yielding a value of around.
