- Description:
- We present a collection of more than 4000 UBVRI and uvby differential photometric measurements of the newly-discovered 12th-magnitude southern Delta Scuti star GSC 08613-02122. The star has a main pulsation period of about 4 hours with an amplitude of 0.05m in the V band. The pulsation amplitude is variable, and the O-C diagram reveals the existence of a long P~29.5-day cycle, which possibly results from the beating of the main pulsation frequency with a nearby frequency.

- Description:
- We have assembled a sample of halo stars in the solar neighborhood to look for halo substructure in velocity and angular momentum space. Our sample (231 stars) includes red giants, RR Lyrae variable stars, and red horizontal branch stars within 2.5kpc of the Sun with [Fe/H] less than -1.0. It was chosen to include stars with accurate distances, space velocities, and metallicities, as well as well-quantified errors. With our data set, we confirm the existence of the streams found by Helmi and coworkers (1999Natur.402...53H), which we refer to as the H99 streams.

- Haro-Chavira infrared stars identifications

- Description:
- The first seven extremely-red Haro-Chavira stars were published by Johnson et al. (1965ApJ...142.1249J), which includes BVRIJHKLMN photometry for them. The positions listed for these stars are consistently nearly a full degree in error, as a consequence of which they seem to have been overlooked in later literature. The offsets are parallel to the direction of precession, and the error evidently arises from the application of 100 years of precession motion with the wrong sign. These stars were unambiguously identified using the published charts, which are copied from the POSS-I prints of the region. In a follow-up work, Chavira (1967BOTT....4..197C) published a more extensive list of stars based on far-red objective-prism and direct plates. The main difficulty in the identifications was the poor positions, some in error by 10'. The finder charts were thus indispensable for positive identification on the sky. Two stars (HC 56 and HC 62) defeated my attempts to locate them.

- HARPS-N RVs & activity indicators for Kepler-1655

- Description:
- We present the confirmation of a small, moderately irradiated (F=155+/-7 F_{Earth}_) Neptune with a substantial gas envelope in a P=11.8728787+/-0.0000085 day orbit about a quiet, Sun-like G0V star Kepler-1655. Based on our analysis of the Kepler light curve, we determined Kepler-1655b's radius to be 2.213+/-0.082 R_{Earth}_. We acquired 95 high-resolution spectra with Telescopio Nazionale Galileo/HARPS-N, enabling us to characterize the host star and determine an accurate mass for Kepler-1655b of 5.0_-2.8_^+3.1^ M_{Earth}_ via Gaussian-process regression. Our mass determination excludes an Earth-like composition with 98% confidence. Kepler-1655b falls on the upper edge of the evaporation valley, in the relatively sparsely occupied transition region between rocky and gas-rich planets. It is therefore part of a population of planets that we should actively seek to characterize further.

- Title:
- HARPS observations of eight galactic Cepheids
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/489/1255
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We show that residual {gamma}-velocities (compared to a axisymmetric rotation model of the milky Way) are an intrinsic property of Cepheids. We observed eight galactic Cepheids with the HARPS spectroscope, focusing specifically on 17 spectral lines. For each spectral line of each star, we computed the {gamma}-velocity (resp. {gamma}-asymmetry) as an average value of the interpolated radial velocity (resp. line asymmetry) curve. For each Cepheid in our sample, a linear relation is found between the {gamma}-velocities of the various spectral lines and their corresponding {gamma}-asymmetries, showing that residual {gamma}-velocities stem from the intrinsic properties of Cepheids. We also provide a physical reference to the stellar {gamma}-velocity: it should be zero when the {gamma}-asymmetry is zero. Following this definition, we provide very precise and physically calibrated estimates of the {gamma}-velocities for all stars of our sample.

- Description:
- The ratio of pulsation to radial velocity (the projection factor) is currently limiting the accuracy of the Baade-Wesselink method, and in particular of its interferometric version recently applied to several nearby Cepheids. This work aims at establishing a link between the line asymmetry evolution over the Cepheids' pulsation cycles and their projection factor, with the final objective to improve the accuracy of the Baade-Wesselink method for distance determinations. We present HARPS high spectral resolution observations (R=120000) of nine galactic Cepheids: R Tra, S Cru, Y Sgr, beta Dor, zeta Gem, Y Oph, RZ Vel, l Car and RS Pup, having a good period sampling (P=3.39d to P=41.52d). We fit spectral line profiles by an asymmetric bi-Gaussian to derive radial velocity, Full-Width at Half-Maximum in the line (FWHM) and line asymmetry for all stars.

- Description:
- We observed eight galactic Cepheids with the HARPS spectrograph. For each star, we derive an interpolated cross-correlated radial velocity curve using the HARPS pipeline. Pulsating phases and HARPS radial velocity measurements can be found in Table 1. The cross correlation method is widely used to derive the radial velocity curve of Cepheids when the signal to noise ratio of the spectra is low. However, if it is used with an inac curate projection factor, it might introduce some biases in the Baade-Wesselink (BW) methods of determining the distance of Cepheids. In addition, it might affect the average value of the radial velocity curve (or gamma-velocity) important for Galactic structure studies. See the paper for details and results.

- HATNet Pleiades Rotation Period Catalogue

- Description:
- Using data from the Hungarian-made Automated Telescope Network (HATNet) survey for transiting exoplanets, we measure photometric rotation periods for 368 Pleiades stars with 0.4~<M~<1.3M_{sun}_. We detect periodic variability for 74 per cent of the cluster members in this mass range that are within our field-of-view, and 93 per cent of the members with 0.7~<M~<1.0M_{sun}_. This increases, by a factor of 5, the number of Pleiades members with measured periods. We compare these data to the rich sample of spectroscopically determined projected equatorial rotation velocities (vsini) available in the literature for this cluster. Included in our sample are 14 newly identified probable cluster members which have proper motions, photometry and rotation periods consistent with membership.
