- Description:
- We present the results of CCD photometry in the seven-color Vilnius system for 302 stars in the 12x12 arcmin area in the vicinity of the dark cloud TGU H942 P7. Observational data were obtained in 2015-2016 with the 1.8m VATT telescope of the Vatican observatory on Mt Graham, Arizona. Using the Koenig & Leisawitz (2014ApJ...791..131K) classification scheme we identified 88 YSOs in this area. The majority of them are concentrated in dust clump P7 and the infrared cluster FSR 655. The other compact group of YSOs is located at RA=03:54:56, DEC=+53:45. These stars are probably members of small infrared cluster which we call SCB1.

- Description:
- The area of the open cluster NGC 1647 in Taurus is investigated by CCD photometry in the Vilnius seven-color system. Magnitudes and color indices are determined for 433 stars down to V=15.0mag in the 45arcmin diameter area. For 252 of them photometric spectral and luminosity classes, interstellar reddenings, extinctions and distances are obtained. According to the CDS WEBDA database, 89 of them have a high cluster membership probability. Their mean distance from the Sun is 555+/-74pc, excluding four stars which seem to be field stars. The main sequence starts at spectral class B7 V which corresponds to a cluster age of about 150 million years. Cluster members show a differential interstellar extinction ranging from 0.8 to 1.8mag. The mean extinction of the cluster stars is 1.12+/-0.25mag. Interstellar extinction in the area is dominated by the Taurus dark cloud complex at 160pc. Color excesses of individual stars correlate well with the 100um dust thermal emission intensity. The cluster shape is investigated by counting stars down to K=15.6mag and is found to be elongated in the direction roughly perpendicular to the Milky Way, with the flattening 0.4.

- VI Photometry and Variables in NGC 3201
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/123/279
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Globular Cluster NGC 3201 was monitored for the existence of variable stars with 16.5<V<20 and 0.2days<period<5days. The files v*.dat contain time-series photometry data in V and I for the 14 variables detected in the field of NGC 3201. Only V6 (a blue straggler contact binary) is a member of the cluster. Due to its low-latitude position, interstellar extinction is present across the field of the cluster. The file phot.dat contains VI photometry data on the monitored stars. These data are NOT corrected for extinction. The variables V7, V8, and V9 were discovered during a follow-up observing run with a different telescope and therefore do not lie in the field covered by phot.dat. Variables V1-V9 are contact system eclipsing binaries, V10 is an RR Lyrae, V11 a semi-detached Algol type binary, V12 a detached binary system, and V13 and V14 are unclassified variable systems.

- Description:
- We present deep CCD photometry in the VI passbands using the WIYN 3.5m telescope of a field located approximately 20 southeast of the center of M33; this field includes the region studied by Mould & Kristian in 1986ApJ...305..591M. The color-magnitude diagram (CMD) extends to I~25 and shows a prominent red giant branch (RGB), along with significant numbers of asymptotic giant branch and young main-sequence stars.

- VI photometry of galactic cepheids

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present results of a survey of a 6deg^2^ region near l=60{deg}, b=0{deg} to search for distant Milky Way Cepheids. Few such Cepheids are known at distances >~ R_0_, limiting large-scale Milky Way disk models derived from Cepheid kinematics; this work was designed to find a sample of distant Cepheids for use in such models. The survey was conducted in the V and I bands over eight epochs, to a limiting I~=18, with a total of almost 5 million photometric observations of over 1 million stars. We present a catalog of 578 high-amplitude variables discovered in this field. Cepheid candidates were selected from this catalog on the basis of variability and color change and observed again the following season. We confirm 10 of these candidates as Cepheids with periods from 4 to 8 days, most at distances greater than 3kpc. Many of the Cepheids are heavily reddened by intervening dust, some with implied extinction A_V_>10mag. With a future addition of infrared photometry and radial velocities, these stars alone can provide a constraint on R_0_ to 8% and in conjunction with other known Cepheids should provide good estimates of the global disk potential ellipticity.

- Description:
- In the Milky Way, most globular clusters are highly conspicuous objects that were found centuries ago. However, a few dozen of them are faint, sparsely populated systems that were identified largely during the second half of the past century. One of the faintest is ESO 37-1 (E 3) and as such it remains poorly studied, with no spectroscopic observations published so far although it was discovered in 1976. We investigate the globular cluster E3 in an attempt to better constrain its fundamental parameters. Spectroscopy of stars in the field of E3 is shown here for the first time. Deep, precise VI CCD photometry of E3 down to V~26mag is presented and analysed. Low-resolution, medium signal-to-noise ratio spectra of nine candidate members are studied to derive radial velocity and metallicity. Proper motions from the UCAC4 catalogue are used to explore the kinematics of the bright members of E3. Isochrone fitting indicates that E3 is probably very old, with an age of about 13Gyr; its distance from the Sun is nearly 10kpc. It is also somewhat metal rich with [Fe/H]=-0.7. Regarding its kinematics, our tentative estimate for the proper motions is ({mu}_{alpha}*cos{delta}, {mu}_{delta}_=(-7.0+/-0.8, 3.5+/-0.3)mas/yr (or a tangential velocity of 382+/-79km/s) and for the radial velocity 45+/-5km/s in the solar rest frame. E3 is one of the most intriguing globular clusters in the Galaxy. Having an old age and being metal rich is clearly a peculiar combination, only seen in a handful of objects like the far more conspicuous NGC 104 (47 Tucanae). In addition, its low luminosity and sparse population make it a unique template for the study of the final evolutionary phases in the life of a star cluster. Unfortunately, E3 is among the most elusive and challenging known globular clusters because field contamination severely hampers spectroscopic studies.

- VI photometry of 5 open clusters

- Description:
- The stellar populations in the outer Galactic disk are a subject of wide interest nowadays. To contribute to a better picture of this part of the Galaxy, we have studied the nature of five marginally investigated star clusters (Collinder 74, Berkeley 27, Haffner 8, NGC 2509, and VdB-Hagen4) by means of accurate CCD photometry in the V and I passbands. These clusters are in fact located in the third Galactic quadrant. We aim to obtain the basic parameters of these objects, which in some cases are still disputed in the literature. In the case of VdB-Hagen 4 we provide the first estimate of its fundamental parameters, while for Haffner 8 we present the first CCD photometry. The analysis is based on the comparison between field star decontaminated color-magnitude diagrams and stellar models. Particular care is devoted to the the assessment of the data quality and the statistical field star decontamination. The Padova library of stellar isochrones is adopted in this study. The analysis we carried out allowed us to solve a few inconsistencies in the literature regarding Haffner 8 and NGC 2509. Collinder 74 is found to be significantly older than reported before. VdB-Hagen 4 is a young open cluster located more than 20kpc from the Galactic center. Such an extreme distance is compatible with the cluster belonging to the Norma-Cygnus arm.

- VI photometry of the Leo II galaxy

- Description:
- We present V and I photometry of a 9.4'x9.4' field centered on the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo II. The Tip of the Red Giant Branch is identified at I^TRGB^=17.83+/-0.03 and adopting <[M/H]>=-1.53+/-0.2 from the comparison of RGB stars with Galactic templates, we obtain a distance modulus (m-M)_0=21.84+/-0.13, corresponding to a distance D=233+/-15kpc. Two significant bumps have been detected in the Luminosity Function of the Red Giant Branch. The fainter bump (B1, at V=21.79+/-0.05) is the RGB bump of the dominant stellar population while the brightest one (B2, at V=21.36+/-0.05) may be identified as the Asymptotic Giant Branch Clump of the same population. The luminosity of the main RGB bump (B1) suggest that the majority of RGB stars in Leo II belongs to a population that is >~4Gyr younger than the classical Galactic globular clusters. The stars belonging to the He-burning Red Clump are shown to be significantly more centrally concentrated than RR Lyrae and Blue Horizontal Branch stars, probing the existence of an age/metallicity radial gradient in this remote dwarf spheroidal.
