- Description:
- The previously known, 6yr single-lined spectroscopic binary HR 6046 has been speculated in the past to contain a compact object as the secondary. A recent study has redetermined the orbit with great accuracy and shown that the companion is an evolved but otherwise normal star of nearly identical mass to the primary, which is also a giant. The binary motion was detected by the Hipparcos mission but was not properly accounted for in the published astrometric solution. Here we use the Hipparcos intermediate data in combination with the spectroscopic results to revise that solution and establish the orbital inclination angle for the first time, and with it the absolute masses M_A_=1.38^+0.09^_-0.03_M_{sun}_ and M_B_=1.36^+0.07^_-0.02_M_{sun}_. Aided by other constraints, we investigate the evolutionary status and confirm that the primary star is approaching the tip of the red giant branch, while the secondary is beginning its first ascent.

- Description:
- Hipparcos Intermediate Astrometric Data (IAD) have been used to derive astrometric orbital elements for spectroscopic binaries from the newly released Ninth Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (S_B^9^_). This endeavour is justified by the fact that (i) the astrometric orbital motion is often difficult to detect without the prior knowledge of the spectroscopic orbital elements, and (ii) such knowledge was not available at the time of the construction of the Hipparcos Catalogue for the spectroscopic binaries which were recently added to the S_B^9^_ catalogue. Among the 1374 binaries from S_B^9^_ which have an HIP entry (excluding binaries with visual companions, or DMSA/C in the Double and Multiple Stars Annex), 282 have detectable orbital astrometric motion (at the 5% significance level). Among those, only 70 have astrometric orbital elements that are reliably determined (according to specific statistical tests), and for the first time for 20 systems. This represents a 8.5% increase of the number of astrometric systems with known orbital elements (The Double and Multiple Systems Annex contains 235 of those DMSA/O systems).

- Description:
- Our goal is to better understand the origin and the star-formation history of regions NGC 6334 and NGC 6357. We focus our study on the young stars (young stellar objects and OB stars) kinematics in both regions using mainly Gaia-DR2 data. For both regions we compiled OB stars and young stellar objects catalogues from literature and we complemented them using VPHAS+ DR2 and Spitzer IRAC/GLIMPSE photometry catalogues. A cross-match is performed with the Gaia-DR2 catalogue in order to obtain the parallax and transverse motion information. We confirm that NGC 6334 and NGC 6357 are in the far side of the Saggitarius-Carina arm at a distance of 1.76kpc. For NGC 6357, OB stars show strong clustering and ordered star motion with Vlon~-10.7km/s and Vlat ~3.7km/s while for NGC 6334, no significant systemic motion is observed. The OB stars motions and distribution in NGC 6334 suggest to classify it as an association. Ten and two runaway candidates can be related to NGC 6357 and NGC 6334, respectively. The spatial distributions of the runaway candidates in and around NGC 6357 favor a dynamical (and early) ejection during the cluster(s) formation. Because such stars are likely to be ejected during cluster's formation the fact of not observing as many of such stars towards NGC 6334 suggest different formation conditions than for NGC 6357.

- Astrometric positions for (84922) 2003 VS2

- Description:
- We present results from three world-wide campaigns that resulted in the detections of two single-chord and one multi-chord stellar occultations by the plutino object (84922) 2003 VS_2_. From the single-chord occultations in 2013 and 2014 we obtained accurate astrometric positions for the object, while from the multi-chord occultation on 2014 November 7, we obtained the parameters of the best-fitting ellipse to the limb of the body at the time of occultation. We also obtained short-term photometry data for the body in order to derive its rotational phase during the occultation. The rotational light curve present a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.141+/-0.009 mag. This allows us to reconstruct the 3D shape of the body, with principal semi-axes of a=313.8+/-7.1 km, b=265.5_-9.8_^+8.8^ km, and c=247.3_-43.6_^+26.6^ km, which is not consistent with a Jacobi triaxial equilibrium figure. The derived spherical volume equivalent diameter of 548.3_-44.6_^+29.5^ km is about 5% larger than the radiometric diameter of 2003 VS_2_ derived from Herschel data of 523+/-35 km, but still compatible with it within error bars. From those results we can also derive the geometric albedo (0.123_-0.014_^+0.015^) and, under the assumption that the object is a Maclaurin spheroid, the density {rho}=1400_-300_^+1000^ for the plutino. The disappearances and reappearances of the star during the occultations do not show any compelling evidence for a global atmosphere considering a pressure upper limit of about 1 microbar for a pure nitrogen atmosphere, nor secondary features (e.g., rings or satellite) around the main body.

- Description:
- A catalogue of equatorial coordinates and magnitudes for 2162 asteroids and 11 comets was compiled based on the results of processing of digitized photographic observations of the northern sky performed in 1981-1985. The positions were compared with the JPL DE431 ephemeris. The mean (O-C)_RA,DE_ values for all positions obtained in this comparison are -0.08" and 0.04", and their root-mean-square errors are 0.70" and 0.64" in {alpha} and {delta}, respectively. It was found that the observations of 54 asteroids predate their discoveries, and the observations of four of them are the earliest known for these asteroids.

- Description:
- Astrometrically determined kinematic data are given for nearby clusters and associations, including astrometric radial velocities and kinematically improved parallaxes for individual stars. The astrometric radial velocities are determined independent of spectroscopy. Table 1 gives the space velocities and internal velocity dispersions of the clusters and associations. The electronic Table1 (Table1.dat) is an extended version of Table 1 in the journal paper, now including the full covariances of the space velocity components as well as the space motion in spherical coordinates. Table 2 gives the astrometric radial velocities and kinematically improved parallaxes for the individual stars. The electronic Table 2 is an extended version of Table 2 in the journal paper, now including all clusters and associations studied; results using data from both the Hipparcos and Tycho-2catalogues, as well as the standard errors for all deduced quantities. The electronic Table 2 is divided into 10 sub-tables (table1a.dat through table2j.dat), one for each cluster or association.

- Description:
- We present techniques for obtaining precision astrometry using old photographic plates from assorted large-aperture reflectors in combination with recent CCD Mosaic Imager frames. At the core of this approach is a transformation of plate/CCD coordinates into a previously constructed astrometric reference frame around the open cluster NGC 188.
