VRI photometry of IC5070 variable stars

Description:
We observed a field of 16'x16' in the star-forming region Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) at BVRI wavelengths for 90 nights spread over one year in 2012-2013. More than 250 epochs in VRI-bands are used to identify and classify variables up to V~21mag. We present a catalogue of optical time-series photometry with periods, mean-magnitudes and classifications for 95 variable stars including 67 pre-main-sequence variables towards star-forming region IC 5070. The pre-main-sequence variables are further classified as candidate classical T Tauri and weak-line T Tauri stars based on their light curve variations and the locations on the color-color and color-magnitude diagrams using optical and infrared data together with Gaia DR2 astrometry. Classical T Tauri stars display variability amplitudes up to three times the maximum fluctuation in disk-free weak-line T Tauri stars, which show strong periodic variations. Short-term variability is missed in our photometry within single nights. Several classical T Tauri stars display long-lasting (>10 days) single or multiple fading and brightening events up to a couple of magnitudes at optical wavelengths.

Description:
We have found 72 premain-sequence (PMS) stars near the center of the {lambda} Orionis star-forming region by spectroscopically testing a magnitude-limited sample for the presence of lithium {lambda}6708 absorption, a diagnostic of youth. All of these stars show large lithium equivalent widths and radial velocities consistent with Orion membership, but only two were discovered previously via H{alpha} or X-ray surveys.

Description:
We present VRI photometry of 320,917 stars with 11<~R<~18 throughout the {lambda} Ori star-forming region. Using the more spatially limited spectroscopic surveys of Dolan & Mathieu (1999, Cat. <J/AJ/118/2409>, 2001, Cat. <J/AJ/121/2124>) to define the color-magnitude domain of young low-mass members of the association and removing statistically the field stars in this domain, we use our photometry to identify a representative pre-main-sequence (PMS) population throughout the interior of the molecular ring.

Title:
VRI photometry of M35

Description:
We present very deep and accurate photometry of the open cluster M35. We have observed this association in the Cousins R, I filters, together with the Johnson V filter. We have covered a region of 27.5x27.5 square arcmin, equivalent to a fifth of the total area of the cluster. The data range from I_c_=12.5 to 23.5mag, and the color intervals are 0.4<=(V-I)_c_<=3.0, 0.5<=(R-I)_c_<=2.5. Roughly, these values span from 1.6M_{sun}_ down to the substellar limit, in the case of cluster members. By using the location of the stars on color-magnitude and color-color diagrams, we have selected candidate members of this cluster. We have merged our sample with previously published data and obtained a color-magnitude diagram for the complete stellar population of the cluster, covering the spectral range early B-mid M. Based on the distribution of field and cluster stars in color-magnitude and color-color diagrams, we estimate that two-thirds of these candidates are likely to be true members of M35. These stars approximately double the number of stars identified as candidate members of this cluster (~2700). We provide the photometry and accurate positions of these stars.
8035. VRI photometry of M87 globular clusters

Title:
VRI photometry of M87 globular clusters
Short Name:

Description:
We have used the high-resolution camera at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to obtain VRI photometry of the globular clusters in the innermost 140 of the M87 halo. The results are used to discuss several issues concerning the formation and evolution of globular cluster systems in supergiant elliptical galaxies like M87. Our principal results are as follows: (1) From our deep R-band photometry of the cluster population, we find no significant change in the globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF) with galactocentric radius, for cluster masses M>=10^5^M_{sun}_. This result places constraints on current theoretical predictions of the rate of cluster evolution by tidal shocking and evaporation, indicating that the main effects of dynamical evolution may be felt only on lower mass clusters (<~10^5^M_{sun}_) that are below the faint limit of most current observations. (2) Combining our V-I color indices with other data in the literature, we derive the metallicity gradient and mean metallicity of the clusters from r=9" out to r~500" (~0.7-35kpc). Within the core radius r_c_=1' of the globular cluster system, the metallicity distribution is uniform, but at larger radii the mean metallicity declines steadily as Z/Z_{sun}_~r^-0.9^. (3) The various options for explaining the existence of high specific frequency galaxies like M87 are evaluated. (4) We offer a new explanation for the large observed S_N_ range among the brightest cluster elliptical galaxies (BCGs). It is suggested that these central supergiant E galaxies formed in an exceptionally turbulent or high-density environment which favored a very rapid initial star formation burst. From a total sample of 30 BCGs, we derive empirical scaling relations that relate to this hypothesis. Our analysis favors the view that BCGs began forming at redshifts z>~5, distinctly earlier than most other galaxies.

VRI photometry of MOA 2009-BLG-319

Description:
We present an adaptive optics (AO) analysis of images from the KeckII telescope NIRC2 instrument of the planetary microlensing event MOA-2009-BLG-319. The ~10yr baseline between the event and the Keck observations allows the planetary host star to be detected at a separation of 66.5{+/-}1.7mas from the source star, consistent with the light-curve model prediction. The combination of the host star brightness and light-curve parameters yields host star and planet masses of M_host_=0.524{+/-}0.048M{sun} and m_p_=67.3{+/-}6.2M{Earth} at a distance of DL=7.1{+/-}0.7kpc. The star-planet projected separation is 2.03{+/-}0.21au. The planet-to-star mass ratio of this system, q=(3.857{+/-}0.029)x10^-4^, places it in the predicted "planet desert" at 10^-4^<q<4x10^-4^ according to the runaway gas accretion scenario of the core accretion theory. Seven of the 30 planets in the Suzuki et al. sample fall in this mass ratio range, and this is the third with a measured host mass. All three of these host stars have masses of 0.5<~M_host_/M{sun}<~0.7, which implies that this predicted mass ratio gap is filled with planets that have host stars within a factor of two of 1M{sun}. This suggests that runaway gas accretion does not play a major role in determining giant planet masses for stars somewhat less massive than the Sun. Our analysis has been accomplished with a modified DAOPHOT code that has been designed to measure the brightness and positions of closely blended stars. This will aid in the development of the primary method that the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope mission will use to determine the masses of microlens planets and their hosts.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This paper presents the COP (CFHT optical PDCS; CFHT: Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, PDCS: Palomar Distant Cluster Survey) survey data. We describe our photometric and spectroscopic observations with the multiobject spectrograph (MOS) at the CFHT. A comparison of the photometry from the PDCS catalogs and from the new images we have obtained at the CFHT shows that the different magnitude systems can be cross-calibrated. After identification between the PDCS catalogs and our new images, we built catalogs with redshift, coordinates, and V_PDCS_, I_PDCS_, and R_COP_ magnitudes. We have classified the galaxies along the lines of sight into field and structure galaxies using a gap technique from Katgert et al. In total we have observed 18 significant structures along the 10 lines of sight.

Title:
VRI photometry of SMC/LMC globular clusters
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present accurate integrated-light photometry in Johnson/Cousins V, R and I for a sample of 28 globular clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. The majority of the clusters in our sample have reliable age and metallicity estimates available in the literature. The sample encompasses ages between 50Myr and 7Gyr, and metallicities ([Fe/H]) between 1.5 and 0.0dex. The sample is dominated by clusters of ages between roughly 0.5 and 2Gyr, an age range during which the bolometric luminosity of simple stellar populations is dominated by evolved red giant branch stars and thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stars whose theoretical colours are rather uncertain. The VRI colours presented in this paper have been used to calibrate stellar population synthesis model predictions.

Description:
We present VR_cI_c Johnson-Cousins magnitudes of field comparison stars for twelve BL Lacertae objects belonging to the more large sample of blazars which is monitored at Perugia Astronomical Observatory. These comparison stars can be used in the long-term CCD photometric monitoring of BL Lac objects aimed to understand the characteristics of their variability. Finding charts for all of these comparison sequences are also included in this paper. For a description of the (RI)c photometric system, see e.g. the General Catalog of Photometric Data <GCPD/54>
