Astrometric surveys provide the opportunity to measure the absolute magnitudes of large numbers of stars, but only if the individual line-of-sight extinctions are known. Unfortunately, extinction is highly degenerate with stellar effective…

The demographics of young exoplanets can shed light onto their formation and evolution processes. Exoplanet properties are derived from the properties of their host stars. As such, it is important to accurately characterize the host stars…
The kinematics of distant OB stars perpendicular to the Galactic plane, inferred from proper motions in the Hipparcos catalogue, are analysed and compared to the kinematic signature that would be induced by a long-lived Galactic warp.…
We use the new reduction of the Hipparcos data (van Leeuwen 2007) and a self-consistent distance determination technique for Lutz-Kelker limited samples to obtain distances to the massive stars in the solar vicinity. The distance…
The availability of large datasets containing stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions for stars in the Milky Way, particularly within the Galactic disk, is essential for advancing our understanding of the Galaxy's stellar…
Applying photometric catalogs to the study of the population of the Galaxy is obscured by the impossibility to map directly photometric colors into astrophysical parameters. Most of all-sky catalogs like ASCC or 2MASS are based upon…
