- Description:
- We present ground-based spectroscopic verification of 6 Y dwarfs (see also Cushing et al., 2011ApJ...743...50C), 89 T dwarfs, 8 L dwarfs, and 1 M dwarf identified by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Eighty of these are cold brown dwarfs with spectral types >=T6, six of which have been announced earlier by Mainzer et al. (2011ApJ...726...30M) and Burgasser et al. (2011ApJ...735..116B). We present color-color and color-type diagrams showing the locus of M, L, T, and Y dwarfs in WISE color space. Near-infrared and, in a few cases, optical spectra are presented for these discoveries. Near-infrared classifications as late as early Y are presented and objects with peculiar spectra are discussed. Using these new discoveries, we are also able to extend the optical T dwarf classification scheme from T8 to T9. After deriving an absolute WISE 4.6um (W2) magnitude versus spectral type relation, we estimate spectrophotometric distances to our discoveries. We also use available astrometric measurements to provide preliminary trigonometric parallaxes to four of our discoveries, which have types of L9 pec (red), T8, T9, and Y0; all of these lie within 10pc of the Sun. The Y0 dwarf, WISE 1541-2250, is the closest at 2.8^+1.3^_-0.6_pc; if this 2.8pc value persists after continued monitoring, WISE 1541-2250 will become the seventh closest stellar system to the Sun. Another 10 objects, with types between T6 and >Y0, have spectrophotometric distance estimates also placing them within 10pc. The closest of these, the T6 dwarf WISE 1506+7027, is believed to fall at a distance of ~4.9pc. WISE multi-epoch positions supplemented with positional info primarily from the Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera allow us to calculate proper motions and tangential velocities for roughly one-half of the new discoveries.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is a new reduction of FOCAT-S photographic catalogue of southern stars. This reduction has to replace the preceding one. The differences from previous version are as follows: 1. The new version was sorted according right ascension of stars inside 10-degree declination zone; 2. New proper motions were calculated for all almost stars. New Astrographic Catalogue plate reduction was developed for this aim. The average rms of new FOCAT-S proper motions is 0.002 - 0.003 "/year; 3. The number of the Astrographic Catalogue star positions used for the proper motion calculation is added; 4. The magnitude (mag) and spectral type (Sp) columns were revised significantly: some errors were corrected; stars identified in C.S.I. catalogue have got Mag, Sp from this catalogue as it was in previous version. Other stars have got Mag, Sp from PPM-S catalogue. 5. The list of Durchmusterung star numbers was changed. Now it contains the Cape Photographic Durchmusterung (CPD) numbers for stars in [-90, -23] declination zones; Cordoba Durchmusterung (CoD) star numbers are used only if it was impossible to identify star in BD or CPD. Format of this column was changed also. 6. PPM catalogue star numbers were added.

- Four new eclipsing mid M-dwarf systems from MEarth
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/156/140
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Using data from the MEarth-North and MEarth-South transit surveys, we present the detection of eclipses in four mid M-dwarf systems: LP 107-25, LP 261-75, LP 796-24, and LP 991-15. Combining the MEarth photometry with spectroscopic follow-up observations, we show that LP 107-25 and LP 796-24 are short-period (1.388 and 0.523 day, respectively) eclipsing binaries in triple-lined systems with substantial third-light contamination from distant companions. LP 261-75 is a short-period (1.882 day) single-lined system consisting of a mid M-dwarf eclipsed by a probable brown dwarf secondary, with another distant visual brown dwarf companion. LP 991-15 is a long-period (29.3 day) double-lined eclipsing binary on an eccentric orbit with a geometry that produces only primary eclipses. A spectroscopic orbit is given for LP 991-15, and initial orbits for LP 107-25 and LP 261-75.

- Title:
- Fourth Fundamental Cat and Suppl (FK4, FK4S)
- Short Name:
- I/143
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The FK4 was an attempt to establish a fundamental system of stellar positions and proper motions for the 1950 equinox using as much position data as were available. Most of the stars are brighter than 7.0 mag. To increase the star density in some regions of the sky, positions and proper motions for additional stars were established on the same system. This catalog contains seven data files, six for different equinoxes (1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, and 1975) and one for the supplemental stars. The 1950 and 1975 files contain the complete FK4 catalog (1535 stars); the others contain only 52 polar stars. In addition to a header record, the primary catalog contains for each star an identification number; the magnitude (maximum for a variable star); a variability flag, the minimum magnitude for a variable or the magnitude of the secondary for a double star; the HD spectral type and the type for the companion or a second type for a variable star; the position and the change and acceleration of the position; the proper motion and its change with time; the mean epoch of the observations for both right ascension and declination; the standard deviations of the position and proper motion; the numbers of the star in the Boss General Catalog, the N30 catalog, and in the Durchmusterungs; and the parallax. The supplement has a flag to indicate duplicity but no information about variability or the second component. It has no information about the temporal change of the position and proper motion and does not list the N30 and Durchmusterung numbers. It also omits the mean epoch for the observations.

- Fractal Statistics in Young Star Clusters
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/490/2521
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We used fractal statistics to quantify the degree of observed substructures in a sample of 50 embedded clusters and more evolved open clusters (<100Myr) found in different galactic regions. The observed fractal parameters were compared with N-body simulations from the literature, which reproduce star-forming regions under different initial conditions and geometries that are related to the cluster' dynamical evolution. Parallax and proper motion from Gaia-DR2 were used to accurately determine cluster membership by using the Bayesian model and cross-entropy technique. The statistical parameters Q, <m> and <s> were used to compare observed cluster structure with simulations. A low level of substructures (Q<0.8) is found for most of the sample that coincides with simulations of regions showing fractal dimension D~2-3. Few clusters (<20 per cent) have uniform distribution with a radial density profile ({alpha}<2). A comparison of Q with mass segregation ({LAMBDA}MSR) and local density as a function of mass ({SIGMA}LDR) shows the clusters coinciding with models that adopt supervirial initial conditions. The age-crossing time plot indicates that our objects are dynamically young, similar to the unbound associations found in the Milky Way. We conclude that this sample may be expanding very slowly. The flat distribution in the Q-age plot and the absence of trends in the distributions of {LAMBDA}MSR and {SIGMA}LDR against age show that in the first 10 Myr the clusters did not change structurally and seem not to have expanded from a much denser region.

- From binaries to multiples. I. The FG-67 sample
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/147/86
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Data on the multiplicity of F- and G-type dwarf stars within 67pc of the Sun are presented. This distance-limited sample based on the Hipparcos catalog contains 4847 primary stars (targets) with 0.5<V-I_C_<0.8 and is >90% complete. There are 2196 known stellar pairs; some of them belong to 361 hierarchical systems from triples to quintuples. Models of companion detection by radial velocity, astrometric acceleration, direct resolution, and common proper motion are developed. They serve to compute completeness for each target, using the information on its coverage collected here. About 80% of companions to the primary stars are detected, but the census of subsystems in the secondary components is only about 30%. Masses of binary components are estimated from their absolute magnitudes or by other methods; the periods of wide pairs are evaluated from their projected separations. A third of binaries with periods shorter than ~100yr are spectroscopic and/or astrometric pairs with yet unknown periods and mass ratios. These data are used in the accompanying Paper II to derive unbiased statistics of hierarchical multiple systems.

- Gaia and LAMOST DR4 M giant members of Sgr stream
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/874/138
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We use LAMOST DR4 M giants combined with Gaia DR2 proper motions and ALLWISE photometry to obtain an extremely pure sample of Sagittarius (Sgr) stream stars. Using TiO5 and CaH spectral indices as indicators, we selected a large sample of M-giant stars from M-dwarf stars in LAMOST DR4 spectra. Considering the position, distance, proper motion, and angular momentum distribution, we obtained 164 pure Sgr stream stars. We find that the trailing arm has higher energy than the leading arm in the same angular momentum. The trailing arm we detected extends to a heliocentric distance of ~130kpc at {Lambda}_{sun}_~170{deg}, which is consistent with the feature found in RR Lyrae in Sesar+ (2017, J/ApJ/844/L4). Both of these detections of Sgr, in M-giants and in RR Lyrae, imply that the Sgr stream may contain multiple stellar populations with a broad metallicity range.

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Based on data from the ESA Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) and several ground-based, multi-band photometry surveys we have compiled an all-sky catalogue of 39800 hot subluminous star candidates selected in Gaia DR2 by means of colour, absolute magnitude, and reduced proper motion cuts. We expect the majority of the candidates to be hot subdwarf stars of spectral type B and O, followed by blue horizontal branch stars of late B-type (HBB), hot post-AGB stars, and central stars of planetary nebulae. The contamination by cooler stars should be about 10%.
