- Description:
- We present MMT/Megacam imaging of the Leo IV dwarf galaxy in order to investigate its structure and star formation history, and to search for signs of association with the recently discovered Leo V satellite. Based on parameterized fits, we find that Leo IV is round, with {epsilon}<0.23 (at the 68% confidence limit) and a half-light radius of r_h_~130pc. Additionally, we perform a thorough search for extended structures in the plane of the sky and along the line of sight. We derive our surface brightness detection limit by implanting fake structures into our catalog with stellar populations identical to that of Leo IV. We show that we are sensitive to stream-like structures with surface brightness {mu}_r_<~29.6mag/arcsec^2^, and at this limit we find no stellar bridge between Leo IV (out to a radius of ~0.5kpc) and the recently discovered, nearby satellite Leo V. Using the color-magnitude fitting package StarFISH, we determine that Leo IV is consistent with a single age (~14Gyr), single metallicity ([Fe/H]~-2.3) stellar population, although we cannot rule out a significant spread in these values. We derive a luminosity of M_V_=-5.5+/-0.3. Studying both the spatial distribution and frequency of Leo IV's "blue plume" stars reveals evidence for a young (~2Gyr) stellar population which makes up ~2% of its stellar mass.

- Description:
- We present V and I photometry of a 9.4'x9.4' field centered on the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo I. The I magnitude of the tip of the Red Giant Branch is robustly estimated from two different datasets I^TRGB^=17.97 (^+0.05^_-0.03_). From this estimate, adopting [M/H]~-1.2 from the comparison of RGB stars with Galactic templates, we obtain a distance modulus (m-M)_0=22.02+/-0.13, corresponding to a distance D=254^+16^_-19_kpc.

- Description:
- We present low-resolution spectroscopic observations of faint proper-motion stars from the LHS Catalogue, concentrating on stars with m_r_>16.5 and {mu}>0.5"/yr. The present paper includes observations and spectral classifications for 294 M dwarfs, M subdwarfs (sdM), and extreme M subdwarfs (esdM). We also identify white dwarfs among the faintest LHS stars. We have cross-referenced this sample against the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) sources, and list data for the detected objects. We discuss stars of individual interest, as well as the characteristics of the overall sample. As expected, a significant number of the stars in this proper-motion-selected sample are halo subdwarfs, including an esdM dwarf, LHS 3481, that is likely to lie within 20pc of the Sun. None of the subdwarfs show H{alpha} emission.

- Description:
- Table 3 lists the final photometric data of our observations. The UBVRI observations were done with the 1.54m Danish telescope at ESO on October 3rd and 4th, 1992. The CCD was ESO#28, a TEK 1024x1024 with a pixel size of 24mue corresponding to 0.377" per pixel. The total field of view is 6.4'x6.4'. A standard reduction was done with MIDAS and IRAF, the photometry was performed with DAOPHOT within IRAF. The images of Oct 4th have been calibrated using the calibration field around PG 0231+051 (Landolt 1992, Cat. <II/183>). The images of Oct 3rd have then been adopted to the system of Oct 4th. The final Table 3 lists 4613 stars with V and B-V information. In addition U-B is available for 1159 of these stars, V-R for 3519 and V-I for 2854 stars. Table 4 gives those stars from our field of view which are present in the MACS (Magellanic Catalogue of Stars; Tucholke et al. 1996, Cat. <I/221>). The table contains the MACS Id., our x and y position and our UBV photometry, and right ascension and declination from the MACS. These stars may serve to calculate an exact position for every star from Table 3 or to define a coordinate grid for comparison with other observations, such as radio or X-ray data.

- Library of Spectra (0.5 to 2.5um) of Cool Stars
- Short Name:
- J/A+AS/146/217
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The present catalogue contains 182 low resolution optical spectra, 145 medium resolution (R~1100) near-IR spectra, and 112 merged optical+near-IR spectra that range from about 510 to 2450 nm. The observed stars are luminous cool objects: the sample includes red giants, red supergiants, oxygen rich and carbon rich long period variables (asymptotic giant branch stars), as well as a few Galactic Bulge and LMC/SMC stars. The optical data were acquired on the so-called 74 inch Telescope at Mount Stromlo Observatory. The near-IR data were acquired with the Cryogenic Array Spectrometer and Imager CASPIR on the 2.3 meter Australian National University Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory. Optical and near-IR data for variable objects have been merged only when both were taken less than 15 days apart; but both spectral ranges are also provided separately. The spectra are corrected for telluric absorption. However, in regions where the transmission of the Earth atmosphere is close to zero the fluxes recovered remain highly uncertain. The flux calibration is based on a series of reference stars, for which a theoretical intrinsic energy distribution was assumed. An absolute flux calibration (to about 10% accuracy) was only achieved in exceptional cases; in the other cases, the absolute fluxes can be off their real values by an order of magnitude due to slit losses (for the programme star and/or the reference star) and to non-photometric wheather. Uncertainties in the relative values of fluxes along each spectrum are described in the paper.

- Li, C and O abundances of FGK stars
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/159/90
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- Abundances of lithium, carbon, and oxygen have been derived using spectral synthesis for a sample of 249 bright F, G, and K Northern Hemisphere dwarf stars from the high-resolution spectra acquired with the Vilnius University Echelle Spectrograph (VUES) at the Moletai Astronomical Observatory of Vilnius University. The sample stars have metallicities, effective temperatures, and ages between -0.7-0.4dex, 5000-6900K, 1-12Gyr, accordingly. We confirm a so far unexplained lithium abundance decrease at supersolar metallicities --A(Li) in our sample stars, which drop by 0.7dex in the [Fe/H] range from +0.10 to +0.55dex. Furthermore, we identified stars with similar ages, atmospheric parameters, and rotational velocities, but with significantly different lithium abundances, which suggests that additional specific evolutionary factors should be taken into account while interpreting the stellar lithium content. Nine stars with predominantly supersolar metallicities, i.e., about 12% among 78 stars with C and O abundances determined, have the C/O number ratios larger than 0.65, thus may form carbon-rich rocky planets. Ten planet-hosting stars, available in our sample, do not show a discernible difference from the stars with no planets detected regarding their lithium content.

- Description:
- In Spring 2011, the Lick AGN Monitoring Project observed a sample of 15 bright, nearby Seyfert 1 galaxies in the V band as part of a reverberation mapping campaign. The observations were taken at six ground-based telescopes, including the West Mountain Observatory 0.91m telescope, the 0.76m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope, 0.6m Super-LOTIS (Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System) at Kitt Peak, the Palomar 60inch telescope, and the 2m Faulkes telescopes North and South. The V-band light curves measure the continuum variability of our sample of Seyferts on an almost daily cadence for 2-3 months. We use image-subtraction software to isolate the variability of the Seyfert nucleus from the constant V-band flux of the host galaxy for the most promising targets, and we adopt standard aperture photometry techniques for the targets with smaller levels of variability. These V-band light curves will be used, with measurements of the broad emission line flux, to measure supermassive black hole masses and to constrain the geometry and dynamics of the broad-line region through dynamical modeling techniques.

- Description:
- We report the discovery and characterization of seven transiting exoplanets from the HATNet survey. The planets, which are hot Jupiters and Saturns transiting bright Sun-like stars, include: HAT-P-58b (with mass M_p_=0.37M_J_, radius R_p_=1.33R_J_, and orbital period P=4.0138days), HAT-P-59b (M_p_=1.54M_J_, R_p_=1.12R_J_, P=4.1420days), HAT-P-60b (M_p_=0.57M_J_, R_p_=1.63R_J_, P=4.7948days), HAT-P-61b (M_p_=1.06M_J_, R_p_=0.90R_J_, P=1.9023days), HAT-P-62b (M_p_=0.76M_J_, R_p_=1.07R_J_, P=2.6453days), HAT-P-63b (M_p_=0.61M_J_, R_p_=1.12R_J_, P=3.3777days), and HAT-P-64b (M_p_=0.58M_J_, R_p_= 1.70R_J_, P=4.0072days). The typical errors on these quantities are 0.06M_J_, 0.03R_J_, and 0.2s, respectively. We also provide accurate stellar parameters for each of the host stars. With V=9.710{+/-}0.050mag, HAT-P-60 is an especially bright transiting planet host, and an excellent target for additional follow-up observations. With R_p_=1.703{+/-}0.070R_J_, HAT-P-64b is a highly inflated hot Jupiter around a star nearing the end of its main-sequence lifetime, and is among the largest known planets. Five of the seven systems have long-cadence observations by TESS which are included in the analysis. Of particular note is HAT-P-59 (TOI-1826.01) which is within the northern continuous viewing zone of the TESS mission, and HAT-P-60, which is the TESS candidate TOI-1580.01.

- Description:
- Multiwavelength observations of the optical afterglow of GRB 050319 were performed from 1.31 to 9.92hr after the burst. Our R-band light curves, combined with other published data, can be described by the smooth broken power-law function, with {alpha}_1_=-0.84+/-0.02 to {alpha}_2_=-0.48+/-0.03, 0.04 days after the gamma-ray burst. The optical light curves are characterized by shallow decays as was also observed in the X-rays which may have a similar origin, related to energy injection. However, our observations indicate that there is still a puzzle concerning the chromatic breaks in the R-band light curve (at 0.04 days) and the X-ray light curve (at 0.004 days) that remains to be solved.
