- Description:
- We have derived the absolute proper motion (PM) of the globular cluster M55 using a large set of CCD images collected with the du Pont telescope between 1997 and 2008. We find (pmRAcosDE, pmDE)=(-3.31+/-0.10, -9.14+/-0.15)mas/yr relative to background galaxies. Membership status was determined for 16945 stars with 14<V<21 from the central part of the cluster.

- Description:
- Proper motions were determined for 2169 stars with limiting magnitude B = 16.5 mag and located within a 60x60' area centered at RA = 23h54.2min, Dec = 60deg57arcmin (1950.0). Three plate pairs with a mean epoch difference of 49 years were used. The first epoch plates were taken with the Tashkent normal astrograph during 1923-1925 and the second epoch plates with the Pulkovo normal astrograph. The proper motions have a mean error +/-0.0030 arcsec (B < 14.5 mag) and +/-0.0036 arcsec (B > 14.5 mag) and were measured relative to reference stars with 13.5 mag <= B <= 14.5 mag. Photographic UBV magnitudes were measured using Sandages photoelectric standards. The U, B and V magnitudes were determined for 1930, 2165 and 1734 stars respectively, with the corresponding mean errors +/-0.03 mag, +/-0.06 mag and +/-0.05 mag. In the measured area there are three known open clusters (NGC 7788, NGC 7790 and Berkeley 58) and a previously unknown open cluster, discovered by the author, centered at RA =23 h 54.9 min, Dec = 61 deg 21 arcmin (1950.0). The cluster members were selected on the basis of the proper motion (vector diagram) and photometric (V ~ B-V and U-B ~ B-V) criteria. Stars within areas with 4 arcmin radii centered on NGC 7788 and NGC 7790 and 6 arcmin radii centered on Berkeley 58 and the anonymous cluster were investigated for cluster membership. The method of reduction of the observational data and the results obtained have been published in Izv. Pulkovo 195, 80, 1977 and 196, 69, 1979.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We search for stars with proper motions in a set of deep Subaru images, covering about 0.48 square degrees to a depth of i'~=26, taken over a span of five and a half years. We follow the methods described in Richmond et al. (2009, Cat. J/PASJ/61/97) to reduce and analyze this dataset. We present a sample of 69 stars with motions of high significance, and discuss briefly the populations from which they are likely drawn. Based on photometry and motions alone, we expect that 14 of the candidates may be white dwarfs. Our candidate with the largest proper motion is surprisingly faint and likely to prove interesting: its colors and motions suggest that it might be an M dwarf moving at over 500km/s or an L dwarf in the halo.

- Description:
- We search for stars with proper motions in a set of twenty deep Subaru images, covering about 0.28 square degrees to a depth of i'~25, taken over a span of six years. In this paper, we describe in detail our reduction and techniques to identify moving objects. We present a first sample of 99 stars with motions of high significance, and discuss briefly the populations from which they are likely drawn. Based on photometry and motions alone, we expect that 9 of the candidates may be white dwarfs. We also find a group of stars which may be extremely metal-poor subdwarfs in the halo.

- Properties of eclipsing binaries found in TrES

- Description:
- In recent years, we have witnessed an explosion of photometric time-series data, collected for the purpose of finding a small number of rare sources, such as transiting extrasolar planets and gravitational microlenses. Once combed, these data are often set aside, and are not further searched for the many other variable sources that they undoubtedly contain. To this end, we describe a pipeline that is designed to systematically analyze such data, while requiring minimal user interaction. We ran our pipeline on a subset of the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey dataset, and used it to identify and model 773 eclipsing binary systems. For each system we conducted a joint analysis of its light curve, colors, and theoretical isochrones. This analysis provided us with estimates of the binary's absolute physical properties, including the masses and ages of their stellar components, as well as their physical separations and distances. We identified three types of eclipsing binaries that are of particular interest and merit further observations. The first category includes 11 low-mass candidates, which may assist current efforts to explain the discrepancies between the observation and the models of stars at the bottom of the main sequence. The other two categories include 34 binaries with eccentric orbits, and 20 binaries with abnormal light curves. Finally, this uniform catalog enabled us to identify a number of relations that provide further constraints on binary population models and tidal circularization theory.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of 80 very wide fragile binary candidates (projected separations >10000AU) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Eight spectral archive. The pairs were selected based on proper motion, radial velocity, metallicity, and photometric parallax criteria. The angular separations of these pairs range from 3" to 250". The peak in the metallicity distribution of these pairs is about -0.5dex of solar metallicity. Space motions and reduced proper motion diagrams indicate that all these pairs are members of the disk. The chromospheric activity index S_HK_ of each component in 38 binary candidates having spectra of high signal-to-noise ratio and member stars of three open clusters (NGC 2420, M67, and NGC 6791) were measured. The S_HK_ versus color relation for these binary candidates is consistent with the trend seen in these open clusters. The ages implied by this relation suggest that fragile wide pairs can survive longer than 8Gyr.

- PS1 proper-motion survey for brown dwarfs. I. Taurus
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/858/41
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We are conducting a proper-motion survey for young brown dwarfs in the Taurus-Auriga molecular cloud based on the Pan-STARRS1 3{pi} Survey. Our search uses multi-band photometry and astrometry to select candidates, and is wider (370deg^2^) and deeper (down to ~3M_Jup_) than previous searches. We present here our search methods and spectroscopic follow-up of our high-priority candidates. Since extinction complicates spectral classification, we have developed a new approach using low-resolution (R~100) near-infrared spectra to quantify reddening-free spectral types, extinctions, and gravity classifications for mid-M to late-L ultracool dwarfs (<=100-3M_Jup_ in Taurus). We have discovered 25 low-gravity (VL-G) and the first 11 intermediate-gravity (INT-G) substellar (M6-L1) members of Taurus, constituting the largest single increase of Taurus brown dwarfs to date. We have also discovered 1 new Pleiades member and 13 new members of the Perseus OB2 association, including a candidate very wide separation (58kau) binary. We homogeneously reclassify the spectral types and extinctions of all previously known Taurus brown dwarfs. Altogether our discoveries have thus far increased the substellar census in Taurus by ~40% and added three more L-type members (<~5-10M_Jup_). Most notably, our discoveries reveal an older (>10Myr) low-mass population in Taurus, in accord with recent studies of the higher-mass stellar members. The mass function appears to differ between the younger and older Taurus populations, possibly due to incompleteness of the older stellar members or different star formation processes.

- PSYM-WIDE: planetary-mass companions to YMG members
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the results of a direct imaging survey for very large separation (>100 AU), low-mass companions around 95 nearby young K5-L5 stars and brown dwarfs. They are high-likelihood candidates or confirmed members of the young (~<150 Myr) {beta} Pictoris and AB Doradus moving groups (ABDMG) and the TW Hya, Tucana-Horologium, Columba, Carina, and Argus associations. Images in i' and z' filters were obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South to search for companions down to an apparent magnitude of z'~22-24 at separations >~20" from the targets and in the remainder of the wide 5.5'x5.5' GMOS field of view. This allowed us to probe the most distant region where planetary-mass companions could be gravitationally bound to the targets. This region was left largely unstudied by past high-contrast imaging surveys, which probed much closer-in separations. This survey led to the discovery of a planetary-mass (9-13 M_Jup_) companion at 2000 AU from the M3V star GU Psc, a highly probable member of ABDMG. No other substellar companions were identified. These results allowed us to constrain the frequency of distant planetary-mass companions (5-13 M_Jup_) to 0.84_-0.66_^+6.73^% (95% confidence) at semimajor axes between 500 and 5000 AU around young K5-L5 stars and brown dwarfs. This is consistent with other studies suggesting that gravitationally bound planetary-mass companions at wide separations from low-mass stars are relatively rare.
