New Astrometric Measurements of the Position Angle and Separation of the Double Star System WDS 03245+5938 STI 450

We report new measurements of the position angle and separation of the double star WDS 03245+5938 STI 450, based on our observations, Gaia EDR3, and historical data. We find that the position angle and separation are 209.7° and 7.68", respectively, showing slight changes from the previous values of 210° and 7.742". We also find that the distances between the two stars are far apart, suggesting that the system is an optical double, and therefore not gravitationally bound together. Furthermore, we find that the ratio of proper motion (rPM) metric of the system is distinct, indicating that the system is a chance alignment of two unrelated stars that are at different distances.

Measurement of the Double Star System WDS 03286+2523 BRT 133 with a Web Telescope

WDS 03286+2523 BRT 133, is a double-star system that has been under observation since 1896. In this study, we present new measurements of the position angle and separation of the system, utilizing data obtained from a web telescope with a Charged Couple Device (CCD) camera, Gaia EDR3, and historical records. We determined that the position angle and separation are 222.4° and 5.35", respectively, indicating a slight increase from the previous values of 222° and 5.34" measured in 2004. We also employed the parallax and the ratio of proper motion metric (rPM) values of the system to assess its binarity. This analysis showed that the system may be gravitationally bound and with a long orbital period.
