- CT1 photometry of 10 SMC clusters

- Description:
- Colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) are presented for the first time for 10 star clusters projected on to the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The photometry was carried out in the Washington system C and T1 filters allowing the determination of ages by means of the magnitude difference between the red giant clump and the main-sequence turnoff (MSTO), and metallicities from the red giant branch (RGB) locus.

- Description:
- We present the results on the age and metallicity estimates of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) clusters L 110, L 112 and L 113 obtained from CCD Washington CT_1_ photometry. We confirm L 113 as a relatively old and metal-poor cluster, and report for the first time that L 110 and 112 are also relatively old clusters (t~6.5Gyr) . Their derived ages and metallicities reinforce previous suggestions that the farther a cluster is from the centre of the galaxy, the older and more metal-poor it is, with some dispersion. In addition, the bursting star formation model still appears to be the most probable paradigm to describe the SMC's star formation history. We call attention to a second possible burst at ~6-7Gyr, besides the known burst at ~3Gyr.

- Description:
- Colour-magnitude diagrams in the Washington system are presented for the first time for five star clusters projected on to the outer region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The clusters are found to have ages in the range 0.1-1.0Gyr, as derived from the fit of isochrones with Z=0.004. This sample increases substantially the number of young clusters in the outer SMC - particularly in the south-east quadrant - with well-derived parameters. We combine our results with those for other clusters in the literature to derive as large and homogeneous a data base as possible (totalling 49 clusters) in order to study global effects.

- Description:
- We present CCD photometry in the Washington system C and T1 passbands down to T1~22 in the fields of L35, L45, L49, L50, L62, L63 and L85, seven poorly studied star clusters in the inner region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We measured T1 magnitudes and C-T1 colours for a total of 114826 stars distributed throughout cluster areas of 13.7x13.7arcmin^2^ each. Cluster radii were estimated from star counts distributed throughout the entire observed fields.

- Description:
- We present CCD photometry in the Washington system C, T1 and T2 passbands down to T1~23 in the fields of L3, L28, HW 66, L100, HW 79, IC 1708, L106, L108, L109, NGC 643, L112, HW 84, HW 85 and HW 86, 14 Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) clusters, most of them poorly studied objects. We measured T1 magnitudes and C-T1 and T1-T2 colours for a total of 213 516 stars spread throughout cluster areas of 14.7x14.7arcmin^2^ each. We carried out an in-depth analysis of the field star contamination of the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and statistically cleaned the cluster CMDs.

- Description:
- With the aim of enlarging the number of studied LMC clusters in the age range 8.0~<log(t)~<9.0, we focus here on a sample of mostly unstudied cluster candidates. We present, for the first time, CCD Washington CT1T2 photometry of stars in the field of 26 LMC clusters. The studied clusters turned out to be small angular size objects with ages within the age range 8.0~<log(t)~< 9.0, which are projected or immersed in dense star fields.

- CT1T2 Photometry of red giants in 2 globulars
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/134/229
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present Washington photometry of the giant branches of the relatively metal-rich globular cluster NGC 6388 and compare it with 47 Tuc. By examining the spatial distribution of stellar colors across the red giant branch and using spectroscopic data on several bright giants, we found that NGC 6388's center is affected by differential reddening of at least {DELTA}E(B-V)~0.1. Most of the width of the red giant branch is caused by that differential reddening. The southeastern outer regions of the cluster seem to be less affected by variable dust extinction, and we find that NGC 6388 is slightly more metal-rich than 47 Tuc, with a distinct asymptotic giant branch. We have put an upper limit on possible variations in [Fe/H] for NGC 6388, finding that it must be less than ~0.2dex. It is unlikely that such a small range in metallicity could be responsible for the blue horizontal branch and blue tail stars in a cluster with a metallicity similar to the more massive 47 Tuc, which only exhibits a red horizontal branch.

- CU Vir Stroemgren differential photometry

- Description:
- In order to measure the variations of the magnetic chemically peculiar star CU Vir, we obtained 2821 good Stroemgren uvby photometric values from the Four College Automated Photometric Telescope in the period 1998-2012 and 5529 values from the Solar Mass Ejection Imager in the period 2003-2006, allowing us to further clarify the situation concerning its rotational period, described previously by Pyper et al. (1998A&A...339..822P). Our main result is that the O-C data since 1993 are consistent with a constant period of 0.5207137+/-0.0000010d, which is longer than the period 0.52070308d of Pyper et al. (1998A&A...339..822P). The data during the time period 1993-2012 show no evidence of glitches. The data between 1987 and 1993 correspond to a shorter period of 0.520701d, and the inclusion of those data in the previous study made the published period come out shorter. We also cannot rule out a constantly lengthening period if the data since 1987 are included; however, the fit is slightly better for a constant period. At least five more years of consistent data will be required to distinguish between these two models. Radio astronomy data published since 1998 show phase shifts in the radio emission peaks that are inconsistent with the rotation period inferred from the optical photometry. These shifts may be due to instabilities in the region where the radio emissions originate; they indicate that the photosphere and the upper atmosphere are not rigidly coupled.

- CVs from SDSS. VIII. The final year
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This paper completes the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) I/II. The coordinates, magnitudes, and spectra of 33 CVs are presented. Among the 33 are eight systems known prior to SDSS (CT Ser, DO Leo, HK Leo, IR Com, V849 Her, V405 Peg, PG1230+226, and HS0943+1404), as well as nine objects recently found through various photometric surveys. Among the systems identified since the SDSS are two polar candidates, two intermediate polar candidates, and one candidate for containing a pulsating white dwarf. Our follow-up data have confirmed a polar candidate from Paper VII and determined tentative periods for three of the newly identified CVs. A complete summary table of the 285 CVs with spectra from SDSS I/II is presented as well as a link to an online table of all known CVs from both photometry and spectroscopy that will continue to be updated as future data appear.

- Description:
- Based on more than a dozen partial nights of filterless CCD photometry combined with Stromgren uvby photomultiplier photometry, we derive 29 new times of maximum light of the SX Phoenicis star CY Aquarii. These times support a linear ephemeris for 2003-2011. In addition, we present uvby light curves for this star. Our dataset displays the smallest residual spread compared to any other substantial dataset published during the last decade.
