Scientific paper

As part of the fall 2009 astronomy research seminar at Cuesta College, high school and undergraduate students made observations of the visual double star H 5 12AB. They measured the angular separation to be 40.4" with a standard deviation of 4.6". They measured the position angle to be 44° with a standard deviation of 3°. The students then determined that the double star is likely gravitationally bound because the proper motion vectors of the primary and secondary stars only differ by ~2.5°.
