- Description:
- We present for the first time Washington CT_1_ photometry for 11 unstudied or poorly studied candidate star clusters. The selected objects are of small angular size, contain a handful of stars, and are projected towards the innermost regions of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The respective colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) were cleaned of the unavoidable star field contamination by taking advantage of a procedure which makes use of variable size CMD cells. This method has shown to be able to eliminate stochastic effects in the cluster CMDs caused by the presence of isolated bright stars, as well as to make a finer cleaning in the most populous CMD regions. Our results suggest that nearly one-third of the studied candidate star clusters would appear to be genuine physical systems.

- Description:
- We report on the detection of the first extragalactic, classical chemically peculiar (CP) stars more than 100 years after the discovery of this group. Using the tool of CCD {Delta}a-photometry, eight definite positive detections in the globular-like stellar cluster NGC 1866 and its surrounding in the Large Magellanic Cloud were made. More than 1950 objects within a radius of 9.5' of the cluster center down to 20.5 magnitude were observed in this three filter, narrow band photometric system. Averaging more than 70 individual frames for all three filters yielded a 3{sigma} detection limit of 0.015mag for stars with V=20mag. Furthermore we found three objects with significantly negative {Delta}a-values indicating either an Ae/shell or {lambda} Bootis nature. The overall percentage of chemically peculiar stars for NGC 1866 (1.5%) seems lower than for the majority of open clusters in our Milky Way whereas the incidence within the LMC field is decisively less (0.3%).

- Description:
- The time scale on which chemical peculiarity in upper main sequence stars begins is unknown. Results from the Hipparcos measurements indicate that the classical chemically peculiar (CP) stars occupy the whole area from the zero age main sequence to the terminal age main sequence. Hubrig et al. (2000ApJ...539..352H) reported that the magnetic fields appear only in stars that have already completed at least approximately 30% of their main sequence life time. Previous observations in the very young Orion OB1 and Scorpio Centaurus associations reveal a percentage of chemically peculiar stars that is significantly smaller (less than 5%) than that of the galactic field (up to 25%). This already indicates that the phenomenon needs at least several Myr to appear. Since no further observations have been published since then, we have observed the five very young (1Myr<Age<25Myr) open clusters Collinder 272, Pismis 20, Lynga 14, NGC 6396 and NGC 6611. Photometry from 250 CCD frames in the three filter Delta a-system results in very low detection limits (0.008 to 0.015mag). We find no single photometrically chemically peculiar candidate in approximately 460 observed cluster members in the five program clusters. From the number of observed objects we deduce upper limits between 0.6% and 2.4% for the incidence of CP stars for the five observed aggregates.The tables presented here include all photometric observations of these five clusters. For a description of the (Delta a) photometric system, see e.g. <GCPD/75>: a = g2 - (g1+y)/2 g1 and g2 centered at 502 and 524nm.

- Description:
- We continue our survey of magnetic chemically peculiar (CP2) stars in galactic open clusters to shed more light on their origin and evolution. To study the group of CP2 stars, it is essential to find these objects in different galactic environments and at a wide range of evolutionary stages. The knowledge of open cluster ages and metallicities can help for finding a correlation between these parameters and the (non-)presence of peculiarities, which has to be taken into account in stellar evolution models. ************************************************************************** * * * Sorry, but the author(s) never supplied the tabular material * * announced in the paper * * * **************************************************************************

- Description:
- High accurate photometric data in the three filter, narrow band Delta a-system for five open clusters (NGC 2489, NGC 2567, NGC 2658, NGC 5281 and NGC 6208) are presented permitting one to detect apparent chemically peculiar stars. The ages and distances are wide spread to improve the statistics of peculiar stars in our Milky Way. A total of 235 stars within these clusters have been observed. We have detected ten apparent peculiar objects (six with significant positive and four with negative {Delta}a-values) in four open clusters. Although three of them within the boundaries of NGC 2567 are probably not members of this cluster. Since no Stromgren uvbybeta data are available from the literature, Johnson UB-Vphotometry was used to test and calibrate our photometric data. The results from a comparison of both systems are excellent. The tables presented here include all photometric observations of these five clusters.

- Description:
- We have investigated 1008 objects in the area of five intermediate age open clusters (NGC 2099, NGC 3114, NGC 6204, NGC 6705 and NGC 6756) via the narrow band {Delta}a-system. The detection limit for photometric peculiarity is very low (always less than 0.009mag) due to the high number of individual frames used (193 in total). We have detected six peculiar objects in NGC 6705 and NGC 6756 from which one in the latter is almost certainly an unreddened late type foreground star. The remaining five stars are probably cluster members and bona fide chemically peculiar objects (two are {lambda} Bootis type candidates). Furthermore, we have investigated NGC 3114, a cluster for which already photoelectric {Delta}a-measurements exist. A comparison of the CCD and photoelectric values shows very good agreement. Again, the high capability of our CCD {Delta}a-photometric system to sort out true peculiar objects together with additional measurements from broad or intermediate band photometry is demonstrated.

- Description:
- In total, more than 550 objects within the fields of five open clusters (NGC 2439, NGC 3960, NGC 6134, NGC 6192 and NGC 6451) were investigated in order to find classical chemically peculiar stars. One bona-fide CP candidate was detected in each of the open clusters NGC 3960, NGC 6192 and NGC 6451. All three objects seem to be members of the corresponding cluster taking the results from our photometry as well as from the literature. For NGC 6192 and NGC 6451 we found widely different interstellar reddening values and therefore distances and ages in the literature. From an analysis of published Johnson UBVRI photometry, we were able to rule out a rather old age for NGC 6451. This is also supported by the finding of one peculiar object in this cluster with spectral type of about A2. Five variable objects within the field of NGC 6134 were detected. The variability exceeds 10 times (or typically 0.03 mag) the standard deviation of the weighted individual measurements. But since our observations were obtained mostly during one hour (typical integration times of five minutes per filter) on several nights within 45 days, no light curves could yet be derived. For this cluster some Am candidates were reported for which we were not able to detect a significant positive {Delta} a-value. For a description of the {Delta}a photometric system, see e.g. <GCPD/75>

- Description:
- The detection of magnetic chemically peculiar (CP2) stars in open clusters of the Milky Way can be used to study the influence of different galactic environments on the (non-)presence of peculiarities, which has to be taken into account in stellar evolution models. Furthermore it is still unknown if the CP2 phenomenon evolves, i.e. does the strength of the peculiarity feature at 5200{AA} increase or decrease with age. Methods. We have observed eight young to intermediate age open clusters in the {Delta}a photometric system.

- Description:
- We present CCD photometric distance estimates of 100 SCR (SuperCOSMOS RECONS) systems with {mu}>=0.18"/yr, 29 of which are new discoveries previously unpublished in this series of papers. These distances are estimated using a combination of new VRI photometry acquired at CTIO and JHK magnitudes extracted from 2MASS. The estimates are improvements over those determined using photographic plate BRI magnitudes from SuperCOSMOS plus JHK, as presented in the original discovery papers. In total, 77 of the 100 systems investigated are predicted to be within 25pc.

- Description:
- We discuss the selection and observations of a large sample of nearby galaxies, which we are using to quantify the star formation activity in the local Universe. The sample consists of 334 galaxies across all Hubble types from S0/a to Im and with recession velocities of between 0 and 3000km/s. The basic data for each galaxy are narrow band H{alpha}+[NII] and R-band imaging, from which we derive star formation rates, H{alpha}+[NII] equivalent widths and surface brightnesses, and R-band total magnitudes. A strong correlation is found between total star formation rate and Hubble type, with the strongest star formation in isolated galaxies occurring in Sc and Sbc types. More surprisingly, no significant trend is found between H{alpha}+[NII] equivalent width and galaxy R-band luminosity. More detailed analyses of the data set presented here will be described in subsequent papers.
