- Description:
- The very young sigma Orionis cluster (about 3Ma) is a cornerstone for the understanding of the formation of stars and substellar objects down to planetary masses. However, its stellar population is far to be completely known. This study has the purpose of identifying and characterising the most massive stars of sigma Orionis to complement current and future deep searches for brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects in the cluster. I have cross-correlated the sources in the Tycho and 2MASS catalogues in a region of 30arcmin radius with centre in the O-type star sigma Ori A. In the area, I have studied the membership in the Ori OB 1b Association of the brightest stars in the optical using astrometric, X-ray and infrared and optical photometric data from public catalogues and spectroscopic data from the literature. A list of 26 young stars, four candidate young stars and 16 probable foreground stars has arised from the study. Seven young stars probably harbour discs (four are new). There is no mass-dependence of the disc frequency in the cluster. I have derived for the first time the mass spectrum in sigma Orionis from 1.1 to 24M_{sun}_ (alpha=+2.0^+0.2^_-0.1_; roughly Salpeter-like). I have also provided additional proofs on the existence of several spatially superimposed stellar populations in the direction of sigma Orionis. Finally, the cluster may be closer and older than previously considered.

- Title:
- 100 brightest X-ray stars within 50pc of the Sun
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Based on the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 astrometric catalogs and the ROSAT surveys, a sample of ~100 stars most luminous in X-rays within or around a distance of 50 pc is culled. The smallest X-ray luminosity in the sample is LX=9.8x10^29^erg/s; the strongest source in the solar neighborhood is II Peg, a RS CVn star, at LX=175.8x10^29^erg/s. With respect to the origin of X-ray emission, the sample is divided into partly overlapping classes of pre-main-sequence, post-T Tauri, and very young ZAMS objects (type XY), RS CVn-type binary stars (type RS), other active short-period binaries, including binary BY Dra-type objects (type XO), apparently single or long-period binary active evolved stars (type XG), contact binaries of WU UMa kind (type WU), apparently single or long-period binary variable stars of BY Dra kind (type BY), and objects of unknown nature (type X?). Chromospherically active, short-period binaries (RS and XO) make up 40% of the brightest X-ray emitters, followed by young stars (XY) at 30% and unknown sources (X?) at 15%.

- Title:
- Bright extragalactic radio sources at 2.7 GHz
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/216/173
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The brightest extragalactic radio sources at 2.7 GHz are catalogued. The complete sample comprises 233 sources found in the major centimeter wavelength surveys carried out at ANRAO/Parkes, NNRAO/Greenbank, and MPIfR/Bonn: the sample covers 9.81 sr and has limits S(27) = 2.0 Jy and |b| > 10{deg}. A critical reanalysis of the data shows that 227 (97 percent) have optical identifications and 171 (73 percent) have measured redshifts. The implications of the catalogue statistics for the luminosity functions of different radio-source populations are considered.

- Title:
- Bright Extragalactic Radio Sources (1Jy)
- Short Name:
- VIII/5
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The catalog is a compilation of 518 extragalactic radio sources with flux densities greater than 1 Jy at 5 GHz. It contains sources from the NRAO-MPI 5-GHz Strong Source Surveys and from re-observation at 5 GHz of sources found in the Parkes 2.7-GHz surveys. All sources were found in 9.811 sr covered by the two surveys. This is essentially the whole sky, excluding the galactic plane (latitudes less than 10 degrees) and the Magellanic Clouds. The catalog includes radio flux densities, radio positions, object classes, visual magnitudes, redshifts, and spectral indices.

- Title:
- Bright filamentary structures in the ISM
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/149/365
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a listing of prominent filamentary structures in the interstellar cirrus, selected with an eye toward current and planned far-infrared and submillimeter polarimetry facilities. The filaments were identified on the 100{mu}m plates of the IRAS Sky Survey Atlas (ISSA, Wheelock et al. 1994, IRAS Sky Survey Atlas: Explanatory Supplement (JPL Publ. 94-11; Pasadena: JPL)), using a computer vision algorithm that is unbiased with respect to source intensity. Our catalog is two-tiered: the selection criteria in the Galactic plane are based on the sensitivity limits of airborne polarimeters such as the proposed HALE instrument for SOFIA, and away from the plane the limits are dictated by the sensitivities of balloon-borne cosmic microwave background experiments, such as BOOMERanG and MAXIMA. Infrared detector technology is currently at the point where detecting the polarization of the interstellar cirrus is feasible, and we hope this catalog will assist any experimenter undertaking this task.

- Title:
- Bright Gaia white dwarfs with unWISE photometry
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/902/127
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Studies of excess infrared radiation around white dwarfs provide important constraints on the evolution of planetary systems and low-mass companions beyond the main-sequence stage. In this paper series, we focus on identifying and characterizing bright white dwarfs with an infrared excess. Here, we present 188 infrared excess candidates from Gaia and unWISE, 147 of which are new discoveries. Further characterization of this sample can significantly increase the current list of white dwarf debris disks and white dwarfs with low-mass companions.

- 6 bright Galactic Cepheids data
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/430/2018
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the analysis of photometric and spectroscopic data of six bright Galactic Cepheids: GH Carinae, V419 Centauri, V898 Centauri, AD Puppis, AY Sagittarii and ST Velorum. Based on new radial velocity data (in some cases supplemented with earlier data available in the literature), these Cepheids have been found to be members in spectroscopic binary systems. V898 Cen turned out to have one of the largest orbital radial velocity amplitude (>40km/s) among the known binary Cepheids. The data are insufficient to determine the orbital periods nor other orbital elements for these new spectroscopic binaries. These discoveries corroborate the statement on the high frequency of occurrence of binaries among the classical Cepheids, a fact to be taken into account when calibrating the period-luminosity relationship for Cepheids. We have also compiled all available photometric data that revealed that the pulsation period of AD Pup, the longest period Cepheid in this sample, is continuously increasing with {Delta}P=0.004567d/century, likely to be caused by stellar evolution. The wave-like pattern superimposed on the parabolic O-C graph of AD Pup may well be caused by the light-time effect in the binary system. ST Vel also pulsates with a continuously increasing period. The other four Cepheids are characterized with stable pulsation periods in the last half century.

- Title:
- Bright Galactic stars with 24um excesses
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/138/251
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Optically bright Galactic stars (V<~13mag) having f_nu_(24um)>1mJy are identified in Spitzer mid-infrared surveys within 8.2deg^2^ for the Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey and within 5.5deg^2^ for the First Look Survey (FLS). One hundred and twenty-eight stars are identified in Bootes and 140 in the FLS, and their photometry is given. (K-[24]) colors are determined using K magnitudes from the Two Micron All Sky Survey for all stars in order to search for excess 24um luminosity compared to that arising from the stellar photosphere.
