- Description:
- We present a subset of the results of a three-season, 124 nights, near-infrared monitoring campaign of the dark clouds Lynds 1003 and Lynds 1004 in the Cygnus OB7 star-forming region. In this paper, we focus on the field star population. Using three seasons of UKIRT J, H, and K-band observations spanning 1.5 years, we obtained high-quality photometry on 9200 stars down to J=17mag, with photometric uncertainty better than 0.04mag. After excluding known disk-bearing stars we identify 149 variables-1.6% of the sample. Of these, about 60 are strictly periodic, with periods predominantly <2days. We conclude this group is dominated by eclipsing binaries. A few stars have long period signals of between 20 and 60 days. About 25 stars have weak modulated signals, but it was not clear if these were periodic. Some of the stars in this group may be diskless young stellar objects with relatively large variability due to cool starspots. The remaining ~60 stars showed variations which appear to be purely stochastic.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of J, H, and Ks time-series photometry obtained with the southern 2MASS telescope over a 0.84{deg}x6{deg} region centered near the Trapezium region of the Orion Nebula cluster. These data are used to establish the near-infrared variability properties of premain-sequence stars in Orion on timescales of ~1-36days, ~2 months, and ~2 years. A total of 1235 near-infrared variable stars are identified, ~93% of which are likely associated with the Orion A molecular cloud.

- Title:
- JHK photometry of Northern Galactic Cepheids
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Near-infrared photometric measurements for 131 Northern Galactic Cepheids are presented. The Cepheid light curves are sampled with an average of 22 measurements per star fully covering the phase of each Cepheid. The J, H, and K light curves for each Cepheid were uniformly interpolated to find the intensity mean magnitudes within each band. The results are consistent within +/-1% for 26 stars in common with previous studies. This paper is the first in a projected series of two papers which will provide additional fundamental data for Cepheids in the Galaxy, namely, NIR photometry and line-of-sight extinction. In the course of this project, 93 additional variables were fortuitously observed within the Cepheid program fields, 82 of which have previously not been identified.

- Description:
- Using UKIRT on Mauna Kea, we have carried out a new near-infrared J, H, K monitoring survey of almost a square degree of the star-forming Orion Nebula Cluster with observations on 120 nights over three observing seasons, spanning a total of 894 days. We monitored ~15000 stars down to J~20 using the WFCAM instrument, and have extracted 1203 significantly variable stars from our data. By studying variability in young stellar objects (YSOs) in the H-K, K color-magnitude diagram, we are able to distinguish between physical mechanisms of variability. Many variables show color behavior indicating either dust-extinction or disk/accretion activity, but we find that when monitored for longer periods of time, a number of stars shift between these two variability mechanisms. Further, we show that the intrinsic timescale of disk/accretion variability in young stars is longer than that of dust-extinction variability. We confirm that variability amplitude is statistically correlated with evolutionary class in all bands and colors. Our investigations of these 1203 variables have revealed 73 periodic AA Tau type variables, many large-amplitude and long-period (P>15 days) YSOs, including three stars showing widely spaced periodic brightening events consistent with circumbinary disk activity, and four new eclipsing binaries. These phenomena and others indicate the activity of long-term disk/accretion variability processes taking place in young stars. We have made the light curves and associated data for these 1203 variables available online.

- Description:
- We present the results of a J, H, and Ks photometric monitoring campaign of a 0.72{deg}x6{deg} area centered on the Chamaeleon I star-forming region. Data were obtained on 15 separate nights over a 4 month time interval, from January to May 2000, using the Two Micron All Sky Survey south telescope. Out of a total of 34,539 sources brighter than the photometric completeness limits (J=16.0, H=15.2, and Ks=14.8), 95 exhibit near-infrared variability in one or more bands. The variables can be grouped into a population of bright, red objects that are associated with the Chamaeleon I association and a population of faint, blue variables that are dispersed over the full 6{deg} of the survey and are likely field stars or older pre-main-sequence stars unrelated to the present-day Chamaeleon I molecular cloud. Ten new candidate members of Chamaeleon I, including eight brown dwarf candidates, have been identified based on variability and/or near-infrared-excess emission in the J-H versus H-Ks color-color diagram. We also provide a compendium of astrometry and J, H, and Ks photometry for previously identified members and candidate members of Chamaeleon I.

- Title:
- JHKs photometry of 92 LMC Cepheids
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/128/2239
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Near-infrared J, H, and K_s_ photometric measurements of 92 Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud are presented. The stars are spread over the face of the Cloud, their periods range from 3 to 100 days, and their light curves are sampled at an average of 22 phase points per star. The intensity-weighted mean magnitudes and colors define period-luminosity-color (PL or PLC) relations whose uncertainties due to differential metal abundance and reddening/extinction effects are minimal. The dispersions in the infrared PL, PLC, and extinction-free period-Wesenheit relations are extremely small, amounting to less than 0.10mag (or 5% in distance).

- Description:
- Wide-field JHKs near-infrared observations covering an area of 1.8x1.8deg^2^ centred on M33 were obtained using WFCAM at UKIRT. These data show a large population of intermediate-age asymptotic giant branch stars (AGB). We have used both C-type and M-type AGB stars to determine spatial variations in metallicity and mean age across the galaxy. We distinguished between C-type and M-type AGB stars from their location in the colour-magnitude diagram (J-Ks, Ks). The distribution of these stars is supported by a cross-identification between our sample and a catalogue of optically confirmed, long-period variable stars, as well as with the list of sources detected by Spitzer in the mid-infrared. We calculated the C/M ratio and the orientation of the galaxy in the sky, and compared the Ks magnitude distribution with theoretical distributions spanning a range of metallicities and star formation rates (SFRs). The C/M ratio surface map confirms a metallicity gradient in the galaxy corresponding to a spread in [Fe/H]=0.6dex with substructures in the inner and outer galaxy. Magnitude and colour variations suggest orientation and extinction effects on the galaxy disc. Maps showing the distribution of mean age and metallicity obtained from the Ks method suggest that: the outer galaxy disc/halo is metal poorer than the nuclear region and metal-rich clumps in the inner galaxy change location with time. The average outer ring and nuclear stellar population is ~6Gyr old while central regions are a few Gyr younger.
