- Description:
- Observations of the globular cluster M10 were taken at the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) 0.9 m telescope on the nights of UT dates 1995 May 6 and 9 using BVI filters. All frames were taken using a 2048x2048 pixel CCD with pixels covering 0.68 arcseconds on a side, for a total field of approximately 23.2 arcminutes on a side. The data were calibrated against Stetson (2000PASP..112..925S) standard stars. Additional high-resolution images were taken at the 3.6 m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) on the night of UT date 1993 April 13 in BI filters. These observations used a 1200x1200 pixel CCD with pixels covering 0.11 arcseconds on a side, for a total field 2.2 arcminutes on a side, roughly centered on the cluster core. These data were calibrated against the KPNO data.

- Description:
- We present BVI photometry for poorly known southern hemisphere open clusters: NGC 2425, Haffner 10 and Czernik 29. We have calculated the density profile and established the number of stars in each cluster. The colour-magnitude diagrams of the objects show a well-defined main sequence. However, the red giant clump is present only in NGC 2425 and Haffner 10. For these two clusters we estimated the age as 2.5+/-0.5Gyr assuming metallicity of Z=0.008. The apparent distance moduli are in the ranges 13.2<(m-M)_V<13.6 and 14.3<(m-M)_V<14.7, while heliocentric distances are estimated to be 2.9<d<3.8kpc and 3.1<d<4.3kpc, respectively for NGC 2425 and Haffner 10. The angular separation of 2.4deg (150pc at mean distance) may indicate a common origin of the two clusters.

- Description:
- We present for the first time Washington CT_1_ photometry for 11 unstudied or poorly studied candidate star clusters. The selected objects are of small angular size, contain a handful of stars, and are projected towards the innermost regions of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The respective colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) were cleaned of the unavoidable star field contamination by taking advantage of a procedure which makes use of variable size CMD cells. This method has shown to be able to eliminate stochastic effects in the cluster CMDs caused by the presence of isolated bright stars, as well as to make a finer cleaning in the most populous CMD regions. Our results suggest that nearly one-third of the studied candidate star clusters would appear to be genuine physical systems.

- Description:
- The time scale on which chemical peculiarity in upper main sequence stars begins is unknown. Results from the Hipparcos measurements indicate that the classical chemically peculiar (CP) stars occupy the whole area from the zero age main sequence to the terminal age main sequence. Hubrig et al. (2000ApJ...539..352H) reported that the magnetic fields appear only in stars that have already completed at least approximately 30% of their main sequence life time. Previous observations in the very young Orion OB1 and Scorpio Centaurus associations reveal a percentage of chemically peculiar stars that is significantly smaller (less than 5%) than that of the galactic field (up to 25%). This already indicates that the phenomenon needs at least several Myr to appear. Since no further observations have been published since then, we have observed the five very young (1Myr<Age<25Myr) open clusters Collinder 272, Pismis 20, Lynga 14, NGC 6396 and NGC 6611. Photometry from 250 CCD frames in the three filter Delta a-system results in very low detection limits (0.008 to 0.015mag). We find no single photometrically chemically peculiar candidate in approximately 460 observed cluster members in the five program clusters. From the number of observed objects we deduce upper limits between 0.6% and 2.4% for the incidence of CP stars for the five observed aggregates.The tables presented here include all photometric observations of these five clusters. For a description of the (Delta a) photometric system, see e.g. <GCPD/75>: a = g2 - (g1+y)/2 g1 and g2 centered at 502 and 524nm.

- Description:
- In total, more than 550 objects within the fields of five open clusters (NGC 2439, NGC 3960, NGC 6134, NGC 6192 and NGC 6451) were investigated in order to find classical chemically peculiar stars. One bona-fide CP candidate was detected in each of the open clusters NGC 3960, NGC 6192 and NGC 6451. All three objects seem to be members of the corresponding cluster taking the results from our photometry as well as from the literature. For NGC 6192 and NGC 6451 we found widely different interstellar reddening values and therefore distances and ages in the literature. From an analysis of published Johnson UBVRI photometry, we were able to rule out a rather old age for NGC 6451. This is also supported by the finding of one peculiar object in this cluster with spectral type of about A2. Five variable objects within the field of NGC 6134 were detected. The variability exceeds 10 times (or typically 0.03 mag) the standard deviation of the weighted individual measurements. But since our observations were obtained mostly during one hour (typical integration times of five minutes per filter) on several nights within 45 days, no light curves could yet be derived. For this cluster some Am candidates were reported for which we were not able to detect a significant positive {Delta} a-value. For a description of the {Delta}a photometric system, see e.g. <GCPD/75>

- Description:
- The detection of magnetic chemically peculiar (CP2) stars in open clusters of the Milky Way can be used to study the influence of different galactic environments on the (non-)presence of peculiarities, which has to be taken into account in stellar evolution models. Furthermore it is still unknown if the CP2 phenomenon evolves, i.e. does the strength of the peculiarity feature at 5200{AA} increase or decrease with age. Methods. We have observed eight young to intermediate age open clusters in the {Delta}a photometric system.

- CCD distance estimates of SCR targets
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present CCD photometric distance estimates of 100 SCR (SuperCOSMOS RECONS) systems with {mu}>=0.18"/yr, 29 of which are new discoveries previously unpublished in this series of papers. These distances are estimated using a combination of new VRI photometry acquired at CTIO and JHK magnitudes extracted from 2MASS. The estimates are improvements over those determined using photographic plate BRI magnitudes from SuperCOSMOS plus JHK, as presented in the original discovery papers. In total, 77 of the 100 systems investigated are predicted to be within 25pc.

- CCD H{alpha} and R photometry of 334 galaxies

- Description:
- We discuss the selection and observations of a large sample of nearby galaxies, which we are using to quantify the star formation activity in the local Universe. The sample consists of 334 galaxies across all Hubble types from S0/a to Im and with recession velocities of between 0 and 3000km/s. The basic data for each galaxy are narrow band H{alpha}+[NII] and R-band imaging, from which we derive star formation rates, H{alpha}+[NII] equivalent widths and surface brightnesses, and R-band total magnitudes. A strong correlation is found between total star formation rate and Hubble type, with the strongest star formation in isolated galaxies occurring in Sc and Sbc types. More surprisingly, no significant trend is found between H{alpha}+[NII] equivalent width and galaxy R-band luminosity. More detailed analyses of the data set presented here will be described in subsequent papers.

- Description:
- This is the second edition of the Catalogue of the Components of Double and Multiple stars (CCDM). The first one, of which a detailed description has been given in Communication de l'Observatoire Royal de Belgique, Serie A, 115, 1994, may be found at the CDS under reference <I/211>. The complete description of this second edition is published (in French and English) in "Observations et Travaux", a review edited by the Societe Astronomique de France. A detailed historical sketch of the creation and development of the catalogue -- which served as double star data base for the preparation of the HIpparcos Input Catalogue <I/196> -- has been published in issue 25, pp.29-31 (1999) of this same review. There are no fundamental differences between the two editions: format, presentation and construction are similar. The main difference lies in the important increase of the considered systems of which number expands from 34.031 to 49.325. Few additions exist in the description of the contents of the various columns, and some new codes had to be used for references to astronomical positions, especially related to the introduction of new Hipparcos systems or components to known systems (see the "refpos.dat" file). Concerning the names of the systems in columns 16 to 22, one has also to mention some additions to those given in the INDEX-WDS (C.E.Worley, 1984). They are: AOT = Oss. di Torino ACG = Astr.Cat.Greenw. BAC = P.Bacchus BEW = U.Bastian et al. CRI = F.Crifo DUF = M.Duflot DYL = J. Doyle HDS = Hipparcos JRN = A. Jorissen JKS = M.P.Jenniskens KZA = S.M.Kazeza LMP = P.Lampens LYS = L. Louys MCO = McCormick NYS = O.Nys ONL = Occult. News Letters PWS = Th.Pauwels RSU = M.Rousseau SLE = G.Soulie VHS = P.Verhas Note that: MAL = McAlister in WDS 1984 MCA = McAlister in WDS 1994 Some changes have finally been brought to the names of particular STT and STF systems (App) as shown here, to avoid some confusion that exists with the non (App) systems: --> For STF (App)I, addition of 4000, i.e. STF 4001 instead of STF 1(App)I STF 4002 instead of STF 2(App)I ............... STF 4060 instead of STF 60(App)I --> For STF (App)II, addition of 5000, i.e. STF 5003 instead of STF 3(App)II ............... STF 5012 instead of STF 12(App)II --> For STT (App)I, addition of 4000, i.e. STT 4001 instead of STT 1(App) STT 4005 instead of STT 5(App) ............... STT 4256 instead of STT 256(App)
