- Description:
- The second solution of the Gaia catalog, which has been available since April 2018, plays an important role in the realization of the future Gaia reference frame. Since 1997, the reference frame has been materialized by the optical HIPPARCOS positions of about 120000 stars. The HIPPARCOS has been compared with and linked to the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF). The ICRF is materialized by means of the radio positions of extragalactic sources using very large baseline interferometry observations. Both, the HIPPARCOS and Gaia missions belong to the European Space Agency, and it is important to note that the Gaia catalog is going to replace the HIPPARCOS catalog. It has been shown that the International Latitude Service zenith telescope data pertaining to ground-based surveys that span a time baseline of about 80yr, and which are also key when measuring proper motions, could be useful for the accurate determination of {mu}_{delta}_ for 387 ILS stars. Therefore, in this study we aim first to reduce these stars to the HIPPARCOS reference system; second, to made our original catalog of {mu}_{delta}_, which we refer to as the ILS catalog, for these 387 bright stars; third, to present comparison results of the four catalogs by pairs (the ILS, HIPPARCOS or HIP, new HIPPARCOS or NHIP, and Gaia DR2); and fourth, to analyze the differences in {mu}_{delta}_ between pairs of catalogs to characterize the {mu}_{delta}_ errors for these catalogs with a special focus on the Gaia DR2 and ILS catalogs. At seven ILS sites around the world at latitude 39.1{deg}, a set of seven telescopes was used to monitor the latitude variation via observations of the same stars for about 80 yr. Here, the inverse task was applied to improve {mu}_{delta}_ values of the 387 HIPPARCOS stars using the previously mentioned observations. Due to the specific Horrebow-Talcott method of the measured star pair, it is difficult to determine {mu}_{delta}_ for each single star. However, we achieved this by developing the original method and in combination with the HIPPARCOS data. We used the previously developed least squares method and formula to determine the coefficients, which describe the systematic part of differences in {mu}_{delta}_ between the pairs of catalogs. We calculated the coefficients with the aforementioned formula (in line with the coordinates, stellar magnitude, and color index of every star) to compare ILS, HIP, NHIP, and Gaia DR2 data of {mu}_{delta}_ against each other by using the set of 387 stars. The presented differences of {mu}_{delta}_ show that the systematic errors in the four catalogs are nearly at the same level of 0.1mas/yr. This means that the DR2 and ILS {mu}_{delta}_ values are in good agreement with each other, and with values from the HIPPARCOS and new HIPPARCOS catalogs. Also, the random errors of differences are small ones; they are near 1mas/yr for ILS-HIP and ILS-NHIP, and about 2mas/yr for ILS-DR2, HIP-DR2, and NHIP-DR2. It is important to note that there is a similar level of proper motion formal errors in HIPPARCOS and new HIPPARCOS catalogs.

- Description:
- A sample consisting of 570 binary systems is compiled from several sources of visual binary stars with well-known orbital elements. High-precision trigonometric parallaxes (mean relative error about 5%) and proper motions (mean relative error about 3%) are extracted from the Hipparcos Catalogue or from the reprocessed Hipparcos data. However, 13% of the sample stars lack radial velocity measurements. Computed galactic velocity components and other kinematic parameters are used to divide the sample stars into kinematic age groups. The majority (89%) of the sample stars, with known radial velocities, are the thin disk stars, 9.5% binaries have thick disk kinematics and only 1.4% are halo stars. 85% of thin disk binaries are young or medium age stars and almost 15% are old thin disk stars. There is an urgent need to increase the number of the identified halo binary stars with known orbits and substantially improve the situation with their radial velocity data.

- Description:
- This paper continues kinematical investigation of the Hipparcos visual binaries with known orbits. A sample, consisting of 804 binary systems with orbital elements determined from ground-based observations, is selected. The mean relative error of their parallaxes is about 12% and the mean relative error of proper motions is about 4%. However, even 41% of the sample stars lack radial velocity measurements. The computed Galactic velocity components and other kinematical parameters are used to divide the stars with known radial velocities into kinematical age groups. The majority (92%) of binaries from the sample are thin disk stars, 7.6% have thick disk kinematics and only two binaries have halo kinematics. Among them, the long-period variable Mira Ceti has a very discordant Hipparcos and ground-based parallax values. From the whole sample, 60 stars are ascribed to the thick disk and halo population. There is an urgent need to increase the number of the identified halo binaries with known orbits and substantially improve the situation with radial velocity data for stars with known orbits.

- Description:
- Using the Very Long Baseline Array at six epochs, we have observed H_2_O maser emission in the preplanetary nebula IRAS 19134+2131 (I19134), in which the H_2_O maser spectrum has two groups of emission features separated in radial velocity by ~100km/s. We also obtained optical images of I19134 with the Hubble Space Telescope to locate the bipolar reflection nebula in this source for the first time.

- Description:
- We present the current version of the "Homogeneous Catalog of Open Clusters Parameters", supported by our group during last decades. The catalog is created on the base of redetermination of the main parameters of clusters (colour excesses, distances from the Sun and ages) using published photometric measurements, in particular, according to the 2MASS catalog of point sources. At present, the catalog contains parameters of 1035 clusters. The catalog includes the radial velocities data for 496 open clusters. All clusters of the catalog have estimates of the components of proper motion.

- Description:
- Recently, the first installment of data from ESA's Gaia astrometric satellite mission (Gaia DR1) was released, containing positions of more than 1 billion stars with unprecedented precision, as well as proper motions and parallaxes, however only for a subset of 2 million objects. The second release will include those quantities for most objects. In order to provide a dataset that bridges the time gap between the Gaia DR1 and Gaia DR2 releases and partly remedies the lack of proper motions in the former, HSOY ("Hot Stuff for One Year") was created as a hybrid catalog between Gaia and ground-based astrometry, featuring proper motions (but no parallaxes) for a large fraction of the DR1 objects. While not attempting to compete with future Gaia releases in terms of data quality or number of objects, the aim of HSOY is to provide improved proper motions partly based on Gaia data, allowing studies to be carried out just now or as pilot studies for later projects requiring higher-precision data. The HSOY catalog was compiled using the positions taken from Gaia DR1 combined with the input data from the PPMXL catalog, employing the same weighted least-squares technique that was used to assemble the PPMXL catalog itself. This effect resulted in a four-parameter astrometric catalog containing 583 million stars, with Gaia DR1 quality positions and proper motions with precisions from far less than 1 mas/yr to 5 mas/yr, depending on object brightness and location on the sky.

- Description:
- We report on first results from an ongoing program to measure and analyze proper motions for hot subdwarf and white dwarf stars, with the aim of determining to which stellar population sdB stars (in the V magnitude range 10.5 to 14.5) belong. Ours is the largest sample of hot subdwarf proper motions measured to date. Our kinematic analysis suggests that the parent population of these hydrogen-rich sdB stars is as old or older than the old disk. We measure the absolute magnitude of the sdB in the field as M_V_=4.5, providing independent confirmation of absolute V magnitude estimates for these stars from clusters and spectroscopic analyses. Provided it can be shown that the sdO stars evolve from the sdB, then the sdO absolute V magnitude distribution is about 1 magnitude brighter than for the sdB, and 1 magnitude wider.

- HST FGS-1r parallaxes for 8 metal-poor stars

- Description:
- Hubble Space Telescope (HST) fine guidance sensor observations were used to obtain parallaxes of eight metal-poor ([Fe/H]< -1.4) stars. The parallaxes of these stars determined by the new Hipparcos reduction average 17% accuracy, in contrast to our new HST parallaxes, which average 1% accuracy and have errors on the individual parallaxes ranging from 85 to 144{mu}as. These parallax data were combined with HST Advanced Camera for Surveys photometry in the F606W and F814W filters to obtain the absolute magnitudes of the stars with an accuracy of 0.02-0.03 mag. Six of these stars are on the main sequence (MS) (with -2.7<[Fe/H]< -1.8) and are suitable for testing metal-poor stellar evolution models and determining the distances to metal-poor globular clusters (GCs). Using the abundances obtained by O'Malley+ (2017ApJ...838...90O), we find that standard stellar models using the VandenBerg & Clem (2003AJ....126..778V) color transformation do a reasonable job of matching five of the MS stars, with HD 54639 ([Fe/H]=-2.5) being anomalous in its location in the color-magnitude diagram. Stellar models and isochrones were generated using a Monte Carlo analysis to take into account uncertainties in the models. Isochrones that fit the parallax stars were used to determine the distances and ages of nine GCs (with -2.4{<=}[Fe/H]{<=}-1.9). Averaging together the age of all nine clusters led to an absolute age of the oldest, most metal-poor GCs of 12.7+/-1.0Gyr, where the quoted uncertainty takes into account the known uncertainties in the stellar models and isochrones, along with the uncertainty in the distance and reddening of the clusters.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a proper motion measurement for the halo globular cluster Pyxis, using Hubble Space Telescope/ACS data as the first epoch and GeMS/GSAOI Adaptive Optics data as the second, separated by a baseline of ~5 years. This is both the first measurement of the proper motion of Pyxis and the first calibration and use of Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics data to measure an absolute proper motion for a faint, distant halo object. Consequently, we present our analysis of the Adaptive Optics data in detail. We obtain a proper motion of {mu}_{alpha}_cos({delta})=1.09+/-0.31mas/yr and {mu}_{delta}_=0.68+/-0.29mas/yr. From the proper motion and line-of-sight velocity, we find that the orbit of Pyxis is rather eccentric, with its apocenter at more than 100kpc and its pericenter at about 30kpc. We also investigate two literature-proposed associations for Pyxis with the recently discovered ATLAS stream and the Magellanic system. Combining our measurements with dynamical modeling and cosmological numerical simulations, we find it unlikely Pyxis is associated with either system. We examine other Milky Way satellites for possible association using the orbit, eccentricity, metallicity, and age as constraints and find no likely matches in satellites down to the mass of Leo II. We propose that Pyxis probably originated in an unknown galaxy, which today is fully disrupted. Assuming that Pyxis is bound and not on a first approach, we derive a 68% lower limit on the mass of the Milky Way of 0.95x10^12^M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- In this second installment of the series, we look at the internal kinematics of the multiple stellar populations of the globular cluster {omega} Centauri in one of the parallel Hubble Space Telescope (HST) fields, located at about 3.5 half-light radii from the center of the cluster. Thanks to the over 15yr long baseline and the exquisite astrometric precision of the HST cameras, well-measured stars in our proper-motion catalog have errors as low as ~10{mu}as/yr, and the catalog itself extends to near the hydrogen-burning limit of the cluster. We show that second-generation (2G) stars are significantly more radially anisotropic than first-generation (1G) stars. The latter are instead consistent with an isotropic velocity distribution. In addition, 1G stars have excess systemic rotation in the plane of the sky with respect to 2G stars. We show that the six populations below the main-sequence (MS) knee identified in our first paper are associated with the five main population groups recently isolated on the upper MS in the core of cluster. Furthermore, we find both 1G and 2G stars in the field to be far from being in energy equipartition, with {eta}_1G_=-0.007+/-0.026 for the former and {eta}_2G_=0.074+/-0.029 for the latter, where {eta} is defined so that the velocity dispersion {sigma}_{mu}_ scales with stellar mass as {sigma}_{mu}_{propto}m^-{eta}^. The kinematical differences reported here can help constrain the formation mechanisms for the multiple stellar populations in {omega} Centauri and other globular clusters.
