- Description:
- BVR_c_I_c_ light curves of NSVS 5066754 were taken on 2014 May at Dark Sky Observatory in North Carolina. This variable is a solar-type eclipsing binary (T1~5750K) with a period of only 0.3751689(1) days. It appeared to be one of the shortest periods in Shaw's list of near-contact binaries. The Binary Maker fits and our Wilson-Devinney solutions show that the binary could have both semidetached and marginal contact binary configurations. Five new times of minimum light were calculated, along with two minima determined from archived All Sky Automated Survey observations. From these minima and the discovery epoch, a quadratic ephemeris was determined. Thus, a magnetic braking scenario is possible. Both semidetached and contact models were explored. A marginal contact solution had the best sum of square residuals. It gave a mass ratio of ~0.5, and a component temperature difference of ~360K, albeit somewhat large for a contact binary. Two substantial cool spots were determined in this solution with 37{deg} and 28{deg} radii and t-factors or 0.94 and 0.78 respectively. The fill-out is very shallow, ~106%. It may have recently achieved contact.

- Description:
- Complete Bessel BVR_c_I_c_ light curves of V1043 Cassiopeia [2MASS J00371195+5301324, Mis V1292, USNO-A2.0 1425-00875743, {alpha}(2000)=00^h^37^m^11.95^s^, {delta}(2000)=+53{deg}01'32.5"] are analyzed. The system is a member of the small group of pre-contact W UMa binaries (PCWBs). Its light curve has the appearance of an Algol (EA) light curve, however it is made up of dwarf solar type components in a detached mode with a period of only 0.6616days. The analysis includes a period study, an improved ephemeris, a mass ratio search, and a simultaneous BVR_c_I_c_ Wilson-Devinney solution. We document about 20 other PCWBs given in the literature. Several have RS CVn-like properties.

- Description:
- We present the first precision BVRI light curves, synthetic light curve solutions, and a period study for the high amplitude solar type binary, V2421 Cygni. The light curves have the appearance of an Algol (EA) type; however, it is made up of dwarf solar type components in a detached mode with a period of only 0.6331 days with an amplitude of about a full magnitude, i.e., it is a precontact W UMa binary. Flare-like disruptions occur in the light curves following the primary and secondary eclipses possibly due to the line-of-sight track of a gas stream. An associated stream spot and splash spot cause bright equatorial spots on the stellar surface of the primary star. The more massive star is the gainer, making this system a classic, albeit dwarf, Algol.

- Description:
- The long baseline simultaneous multiband (BVRI) observations of blazar 3C 273 are presented. We have made 758 optical multiband observations with the Yunnan Astronomical Observatory (YAO) 103cm and Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) 156cm from 2003 January to 2005 April. In our observational campaign, the average colour indices are B-V=0.21, V-R= 0.26 and R-I=0.31 . The mean magnitudes in B, V, R and I are 12.895, 12.698, 12.441 and 12.139, respectively. The source is in a steady state over observational campaign. The correlations between colour index and brightness are discussed. We find that the correlations of B-V versus B, V-R versus V and R-I versus R have significant negative correlation, while B-V versus V, V-R versus R and R-I versus I have positive correlation. These strong correlations imply that the spectrum becomes bluer (flatter) when the source becomes brighter, and redden (softer) when the source fades both in intraday and long-term variability. The spectral evolution trends of 3C 273 are consistent with those of BL Lac objects.

- BV(RI)_C_photometry of 77 Hyades stars
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/132/111
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- New BV(RI)C observations of 77 stars in the Hyades are reported and discussed. The new observations are used to test published magnitudes and color indices for that cluster. For values of (V-R)C and (R-I)C published previously by Taylor & Joner (1985AJ.....90..479T and 2005, Cat. <J/ApJS/159/100>), the tests reveal no detectable scale-factor problems. In addition, the tests show that possible zero-point corrections to the published data can be no larger than a few millimagnitudes. These test results indicate that future studies requiring precision photometry for Hyades stars would be well served by selecting data samples from sources as close as possible to the native Cousins system. Tests of B-V photometry published by Johnson & Knuckles (1955ApJ...122..209J) reveal a zero-point ambiguity of approximately 8mmag in the new data that will require further measurements to resolve.

- Description:
- We present the most continuous data base of optical multiband data ever published on the BL Lacertae object ON 231 (W Com). The data have been collected during an intensive and coordinated BV(RI)c monitoring campaign carried out in the period from March 1994 to March 1997. During our campaign, the source brightness was at the highest level ever observed. The light curve shows a complex structure, characterized by the presence of three major outbursts having the observed maxima in March 1995, February 1996, and January 1997, when ON 231 reached its historical maximum (B~=14.2). Variability on time scales from a few hours up to a month have frequently been observed and the light curve seems to be the superposition of many flares with different amplitudes and time scales. The broad-band optical spectral energy distribution is characterized by a spectral slope which correlates with the flux level. In particular, the higher is the flux the flatter is the spectrum.

- Description:
- We present the results of the optical monitoring of the BL Lac object ON 231 from 1997 to the spring 2001, including the large outburst of spring 1998. After this event the mean source luminosity declined slowly and continued to show changes greater than one magnitude. A simple analysis of the variability time scales in the best-sampled segments of the light curve reveals that the luminosity changes were faster during the burst and slowed down in the subsequent years.

- Description:
- Table 2 reports the journal of observations. For each date the measured magnitudes and their uncertainties in the four filters together with the used telescope are given. In some occasions several images were made in the course of the same night to search for intraday variability; these nights are indicated by an asterisk. The magnitude uncertainties have been evaluated by taking into account the mean dispersion of the internal error, but not the errors on the absolute calibration.

- Description:
- We address the topic of the intra-night optical variability of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714. To this purpose a long-term observational campaign was carried out, from 1996 to 2003, which allowed the collection of a very large data set, containing 10675 photometric measurements obtained in 102 nights. The source brightness varied in a range of about 2mag, although the majority of the observations were performed when it was in the range 13.0<R<13.75. Variability time scales were estimated from the rates of magnitude variation, which were found to have a distribution function well fitted by an exponential law with a mean value of 0.027mag/h, corresponding to an e-folding time scale of the flux {tau}_F_=37.6h. The highest rates of magnitude variation were around 0.10-0.12mag/h and lasted less than 2h. These rates were observed only when the source had an R magnitude <13.4, but this finding cannot be considered significant because of the low statistical occurrence. The distribution of {tau}_F_ has a well-defined modal value at 19h. Assuming the recent estimate of the beaming factor {delta} about 20, we derived a typical size of the emitting region of about (5x10^16^)/(1+z)cm. The possibility of searching for a possible correlation between the mean magnitude variation rate and the long-term changes in the velocity of the superluminal components in the jet is discussed.

- Description:
- We present UBVIc CCD photometry of the young open cluster Stock 8 with the aim of studying its basic properties such as the amount of interstellar extinction, distance, age, stellar contents and initial mass function (IMF). We also studied the star formation scenario in this region. From optical data, the radius of the cluster is found to be ~6arcmin (~3.6pc) and the reddening within the cluster region varies from E(B-V)=0.40 to 0.60mag. The cluster is located at a distance of 2.05+/-0.10kpc. Using H{alpha} slitless spectroscopy and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) near-infrared (NIR) data we identified H{alpha} emission and NIR-excess young stellar objects (YSOs), respectively.
