- Description:
- We analyse V-filter photometry of 41 known Beta Cephei-type stars. The ASAS-3 photometry is combined with the archival data, if available, to determine long-term stability of periods and amplitudes of excited modes. We detected amplitude changes in three Beta Cephei stars, BW Cru, V836 Cen, and V348 Nor. Period changes were found in KK Vel and V836 Cen. Our analysis shows that intrinsic period changes are more common among multiperiodic stars, apparently because they are caused by some kind of mode interaction. In addition, we found new modes for seven stars, and for ten others we provide new solutions or remove ambiguities in the detected frequencies. One candidate hybrid Beta Cephei/SPB star, HD 133823, is discovered.

- Description:
- We analysed ASAS-3 photometry of bright early-type stars with the goal of finding new Beta Cephei stars. We were particularly interested in Beta Cephei stars that would be good for seismic analysis, i.e., stars that (i) have a large number of excited modes, (ii) show rotationally split modes, (iii) are components of eclipsing binary systems, (iv) have low-frequency modes, that is, are hybrid Beta Cephei/SPB stars. Our study was made with a homogeneous sample of over 4100 stars having MK spectral type B5 or earlier. For these stars, the ASAS-3 photometry was analysed by means of a Fourier periodogram. We have discovered 103 Beta Cephei stars, nearly doubling the number of previously known stars of this type. Among these stars, four are components of eclipsing binaries, seven have modes equidistant or nearly equidistant in frequency. In addition, we found five Beta Cephei stars that show low-frequency periodic variations, very likely due to pulsations. We therefore regard them as candidate hybrid Beta Cephei/SPB pulsators. All these stars are potentially very useful for seismic modeling. Moreover, we found Beta Cephei-type pulsations in three late O-type stars and fast period changes in one, HD 168050.

- Description:
- File table2 contains the values of the color indices: (b-y), m1, c1, H{beta}, from the Stroemgren photometry and the observational errors on these indices as given by the Hauck and Mermiliod (1998, Cat. <II/215>). The values of Teff and logg are obtained from the Moon & Dworetsky (1985MNRAS.217..305M) calibration to which we have implemented the corrections by Castelli (1991A&A...251..106C). The errors on the parameters Teff and logg, as explained in section 3.3, are the consequence of the observational error on the photometric indices; SigmaTeff is the total error, on Teff, computed as explained in section 3.3. File table5 contains the values of the parallax, the error on the parallax, the Teff and the luminosity for the early-type star and late type star of each visual binary system. The errors on the Teff and on the luminosity are taken into account to compute for each of these parameters its minimum and maximum value. File table7 gives the values of the ages and masses computed for the early-type stars from the Schaller et al. (1993, Cat. <J/A+AS/96/269>) isochrones and Meynet at al. (1993A&AS...98..477M) models and from the Girardi et al. (2000, Cat. <J/A+AS/141/371>) models. The errors on the Teff and the luminosity are used to compute the minimum and the maximum values for the age and the mass. The last two columns concern only the primary stars with a Teff greater than 15000K for which we also compute the age and the mass using as Teff value: (Teff-500K); 500K corresponds to the systematic shift between Teff derived by using different photometric system (see Sect. 3.3). File table9 gives the values of the ages and masses computed for the late-type components from the isochrones and evolutionary tracks by D'Antona et al. (1998, web page, http://www.mporzio.astro.it/~dantona/ ) Palla and Stahler (1999ApJ...525..772P), Siess et al. (2000A&A...358..593S) and Tout et al. (1999MNRAS.310..360T). When possible, the minimum and the maximum values of these parameters are given by taking into account the errors on the Teff and on the luminosity.

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- For the purposes of a search for SS433 type objects, LBV stars and hypergiants in M33, we have carried out a photometry of blue stars in H{alpha} images of this galaxy. From 2332 listed OB stars, we have isolated 549 objects, which have H{alpha} excess over stars of the same V magnitude. Among them 81 emission stars (s) have been selected. About 60% of isolated objects found to be extended in H{alpha}, among them 154 diffuse (d) and 180 bubble-type (b) nebulae. 117 objects are compact (c) and faint H{alpha} sources. These groups are different in colour indices, H{alpha} fluxes, surface brightness and sizes. The most probable size of the H{alpha} nebulae is FWHM=10-14pc. There is evidence that their properties and location in the galaxy are defined by interstellar gas pressure and related to spiral arms. The d objects are HII regions with an embedded star. The b objects are probably envelopes around WR stars or SN remnants. Among s-type objects we isolated a group of 20 brightest stars, which in their average properties fit well to the parameters of blue hypergiants or LBV-type stars. The stars of intermediate brightness follow very well to blue Ia supergiants. The interstellar absorption derived from brightest H{alpha} stars is A_V_=0.93+/-0.05mag. We classify the faintest stars as blue Ib supergiants, their average absorption is A_V_~0.6mag. They are restricted in number by the limiting stellar magnitude in the original sample.

- Description:
- As part of a programme to investigate spatial variations in the Galactic chemical composition, we have been searching for normal B-type stars and A-type supergiants near the Galactic center. During this search we have found eleven peculiar stars, and in some cases performed detailed abundance analyses of them which suggest that they may be at a post-AGB evolutionary stage. The A-type post-AGB candidates show [Fe/H]=-1.0 to -2.0, and [O/Fe]~+1.4, typical of the post-AGB abundance patterns discussed in the literature. One star, LS 3591 (=SAO 243756), has also been examined recently by Oudmaijer (1996A&A...306..823O); its spectrum appears to be changing very rapidly, which may indicate erratic mass loss or the incipient formation of a planetary nebula. A B-type post-AGB candidate, LS 4950, has a similar spectrum to a well studied post-AGB star, LSIV -12 111. However, an examination of the line strengths and elemental abundances of LS 4950 show that it is peculiar for both a PopulationII, post-AGB, B-type star and for a normal, PopulationI, B-type supergiant. Two other B-type stars, LS 4825 and LS 5112, are either post-AGB stars near the Galactic center or normal B-type supergiants lying well beyond the Galactic center. In addition, several Be-type stars have been newly (or more clearly) identified from our spectra.

- Description:
- We analyze photometric and spectroscopic data and study the orbital period of the early-type interacting binary system V382 Cyg by using all the available data. We obtain a simultaneous light and radial velocity curve solution. The derived physical parameters of the primary and secondary stellar components are M_1_=27.9(5)M_{sun}_, M_2_=20.8(4)M_{sun}_, R_1_=9.7(2)R_{sun}_, R_2_=8.5(2)R_{sun}_, log(L_1_/L_{sun}_)=5.152(20), and log(L_2_/L_{sun}_)=4.954(19) while the separation of the components is a=23.4R_{sun}_. Newly obtained parameters yield the distance of the system to be 1466(76)pc. Analyses of the mid-eclipse times indicate a period increase of dP/dt=4.2(1)x10^-7^days/yr that can be interpreted in terms of the high-mass transfer (dM/dt=6.1(5)x10^-6^M_{sun}_/yr) from the less massive component to the more massive component. Finally, we model the evolution of the components using non-conservative codes and discuss the results obtained. The age of the binary system is estimated to be 3.85Myr.

- Candidate stellar bowshock nebulae from MIR
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/227/18
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We identify 709 arc-shaped mid-infrared nebula in 24um Spitzer Space Telescope or 22um Wide Field Infrared Explorer surveys of the Galactic Plane as probable dusty interstellar bowshocks powered by early-type stars. About 20% are visible at 8um or at shorter mid-infrared wavelengths. The vast majority (660) have no previous identification in the literature. These extended infrared sources are strongly concentrated near the Galactic mid-plane, with an angular scale height of ~0.6{deg}. All host a symmetrically placed star implicated as the source of a stellar wind sweeping up interstellar material. These are candidate "runaway" stars potentially having high velocities in the reference frame of the local medium. Among the 286 objects with measured proper motions, we find an unambiguous excess with velocity vectors aligned with the infrared morphology-kinematic evidence that many of these are "runaway" stars with large peculiar motions responsible for the bowshock signature. We discuss a population of "in situ" bowshocks (~103 objects) that face giant HII regions where the relative motions between the star and ISM may be caused by bulk outflows from an overpressured bubble. We also identify ~58 objects that face 8um bright-rimmed clouds and apparently constitute a sub-class of in situ bowshocks where the stellar wind interacts with a photoevaporative flow (PEF) from an eroding molecular cloud interface (i.e., "PEF bowshocks"). Orientations of the acurate nebulae exhibit a correlation over small angular scales, indicating that external influences such as HII regions are responsible for producing some bowshock nebulae. However, the vast majority of the nebulae in this sample appear to be isolated (499 objects) from obvious external influence

- Description:
- The Chandra Carina Complex contains 200 known O- and B-type stars. The Chandra survey detected 68 of the 70 O stars and 61 of 127 known B0-B3 stars. We have assembled a publicly available optical/X-ray database to identify OB stars that depart from the canonical L_X/L_bol relation or whose average X-ray temperatures exceed 1keV. Among the single O stars with high kT we identify two candidate magnetically confined wind shock sources: Tr16-22, O8.5 V, and LS 1865, O8.5 V((f)). The O4 III(fc) star HD 93250 exhibits strong, hard, variable X-rays, suggesting that it may be a massive binary with a period of >30d. The visual O2 If* binary HD 93129A shows soft 0.6keV and hard 1.9keV emission components, suggesting embedded wind shocks close to the O2 If* Aa primary and colliding wind shocks between Aa and Ab. Of the 11 known O-type spectroscopic binaries, the long orbital-period systems HD 93343, HD 93403, and QZ Car have higher shock temperatures than short-period systems such as HD 93205 and FO 15. Although the X-rays from most B stars may be produced in the coronae of unseen, low-mass pre-main-sequence companions, a dozen B stars with high L_X_ cannot be explained by a distribution of unseen companions. One of these, SS73 24 in the Treasure Chest cluster, is a new candidate Herbig Be star.

- Description:
- We present an extensive and up-to-date catalog of Galactic {beta} Cephei stars. This catalog is intended to give a comprehensive overview of observational characteristics of all known {beta} Cephei stars, covering information until 2004 June. Ninety-three stars could be confirmed to be {beta} Cephei stars. We use data from more than 250 papers published over the last nearly 100 years, and we provide over 45 notes on individual stars. For some stars we reanalyzed published data or conducted our own analyses. Sixty-one stars were rejected from the final {beta} Cephei list, and 77 stars are suspected to be {beta} Cephei stars. A list of critically selected pulsation frequencies for confirmed {beta} Cephei stars is also presented.
