Measurements of HJ 5175 and Collection of New CCD Images
Abstract
New measurements of position angle and separation for the WDS 20327-8155 (HJ 5175) double star system with components AB, AC, and BC are analyzed and reported from images taken at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia. The resultant measurements, plotted alongside previously measured position and separation, seem to suggest two things: the original measurement, calculated by John Herschel, appears to be inaccurate, and without the Herschel measurement, the plots indicate a steady increase in distance between the stars in the system.
