CCD surface photometry for 232 E and S0 galaxies is presented. The galaxies are observed in Gunn r and Johnson B, or Gunn r and g. For 48 of the galaxies also surface photometry in Johnson U is presented. Aperture magnitudes in Gunn v are derived for half of the galaxies. Galaxies in the following clusters have been observed: Abell 194, Abell 539, Abell 3381, Abell 3574, Abell S639, Abell S753, HydraI (Abell 1060), DC2345-28, Doradus, and Grm15. This catalog include the global parameters for the galaxies: effective radius, mean surface brightness, the characteristic radius r_n, colour, colour gradient, ellipticity, c4, <c4>, and <c6>. The derivation of the effective parameters and of r_n takes the seeing into account. Seeing corrected values of the effective parameters and r_n are given for 147 E and S0 galaxies in the Coma cluster. This catalog also includes colours, colour gradients, ellipticity, c4, <c4>, and <c6> for the galaxies in the Coma cluster. This is an slightly updated version of data published in Jorgensen et al. (1992A&AS...95..489J) and Jorgensen & Franx (1994ApJ...433..553J). Colours and ellipticities are derived for the values effective radii in Gunn r where the seeing has been taken into account.
Within the sample of six young open clusters (NGC 1502, NGC 3105, Stock 16, NGC 6268, NGC 7235 and NGC 7510) we have investigated 1753 objects using the narrow band, three filter Delta a photometric system resulting in the detection of eleven bona-fide magnetic chemically peculiar (CP) stars and five Be or metal-weak stars. The results for the distant cluster NGC 3105 is most important because of the still unknown influence of the global metallicity gradient of the Milky Way. These findings confirms that CP stars are present in open clusters of very young ages (logt>=6.90) at galactocentric distances up to 11.4kpc. For all programme clusters the age, reddening and distance modulus were derived using the corresponding isochrones. Some additional variable stars within Stock 16 could be identified by comparing different photometric studies.
Based on more than 50 partial nights of CCD monitoring, we derive 118 new times of maximum light of the SX Phoenicis star CY Aquarii. These times support a linear ephemeris for 2013-2015.
We present CCD imaging and photometry in B and Cousins R of the dwarf irregular galaxies UGC 4459 (=DDO 53), UGC 5272 (A=DDO 64 and B), UGC 5340 (=DDO 68), UGC 6456, UGC 7559 (=DDO 126), UGC 8024 (=NGC 4789A=DDO 154), UGC 8091 (= GR 8=DDO 155), UGC 8320 (=DDO 168), UGC 8760 (=DDO 183), and DDO 210. For DDO 210 we also give results in the V filter. Photometry of the resolved stars was carried out on background-subtracted images using DAOPHOT. The tables of measurements include positions, magnitudes, colors, a magnitude error, and a color error. Integrated fluxes and colors are also reported. The single-star photometry is compared to previous results in three of the galaxies (UGC 8024, UGC 8091, DDO 210).
We present CCD photometry for six metal-rich Galactic globular clusters. The color-magnitude diagrams constructed from these data reach well below the horizontal branch (HB), all of which are predominantly redward of the instability strip. From these diagrams, we have measured the magnitude of the HB, the color of the red giant branch (RGB) at the level of the HB, and the magnitude difference between the HB and the RGB clump. Using these quantities, we are able to study the metallicities and reddenings of these clusters. We also discuss the color distribution of stars on the horizontal branch for these metal-rich systems and compare them with available data for putative field disk red HB stars. There appears to be a dearth of field red HB stars having [Fe/H]~-0.5 and B-V<0.85, which are plentiful in the clusters studied here.
The M33 galaxy is a nearby, relatively metal-poor, late-type spiral. Its proximity and almost face-on inclination means that it projects over a large area on the sky, making it an ideal candidate for wide-field CCD mosaic imaging. Photometry was obtained for more than 106 stars covering a 74'x56' field centered on M33. Main-sequence, supergiant branch, red giant branch, and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) populations are identified and classified based on broadband V and I photometry. Narrowband filters are used to measure spectral features allowing, the AGB population to be further divided into C and M star types. The galactic structure of M33 is examined using star counts, color-color, and color-magnitude-selected stellar populations. We use the C to M star ratio to investigate the metallicity gradient in the disk of M33.
