- Tully-Fisher distances for Spitzer galaxies

- Description:
- This paper involves a data release of the observational campaign: Cosmicflows with Spitzer (CFS). Surface photometry of the 1270 galaxies constituting the survey is presented. An additional ~400 galaxies from various other Spitzer surveys are also analysed. CFS complements the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies, that provides photometry for an additional 2352 galaxies, by extending observations to low galactic latitudes (|b|<30{deg}). Among these galaxies are calibrators, selected in the K band, of the Tully-Fisher relation. The addition of new calibrators demonstrates the robustness of the previously released calibration. Our estimate of the Hubble constant using supernova host galaxies is unchanged, H_0_=75.2+/-3.3km/s/Mpc. Distance-derived radial peculiar velocities, for the 1935 galaxies with all the available parameters, will be incorporated into a new data release of the Cosmicflows project. The size of the previous catalogue will be increased by 20 percent, including spatial regions close to the Zone of Avoidance.

- Title:
- Two new stellar associations in vicinity of the Sun
- Short Name:

- Description:
- In this work we report the discovery of two new stellar associations in close vicinity of the Sun at roughly 180 and 150pc. These two associations, u-Tau assoc and e-Tau assoc, were detected based on their clustering in a multi-dimensional parameter space including {alpha}, {delta}, {mu}_{alpha}_, {mu}_{delta}_, and \bar{omega} of Gaia. The fitting of pre-main-sequence model isochrones in their color-magnitude diagrams suggests that the two associations are of about 50Myr old and the group members lower than ~0.8M_{sun}_ are at the stage of post-T Tauri.

- Tycho-2 red giant branch and carbon stars
- Short Name:
- J/PAZh/37/769
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- Based on multicolor photometry from the 2MASS and Tycho-2 catalogues, we have produced a sample of 38368 branch red giants that has less than 1% of admixtures and is complete within 500 pc of the Sun. The sample includes 30671 K giants, 7544 M giants,49 C giants, and 104 suspected supergiants or S stars. The photometric distances have been calculated for K, M, and C stars with an accuracy of 40% together with reddening and extinction estimates. Tycho-2 proper motions and PCRV radial velocities are used to analyze the stellar kinematics. The majority of the selected K and M giants are disk stars with ages of more than 3Gyr. A small number of K and M giants are extremely young or, conversely, thick-disk ones. The spatial distribution and kinematics of the selected C stars force us to consider them as asymptotic branch giants with masses of more than 2 solar masses and ages of less than 2Gyr probably associated with the Gould Belt. The offset of the Sun above the Galactic equator has been found from the distribution of stars to be 13+/-2pc, which coincides with the previously obtained value for the clump red giants.

- Title:
- Tycho-2 stars in Galactic Bulge Survey
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/761/162
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We identify 69 X-ray sources discovered by the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS) that are coincident with or very close to bright stars in the Tycho-2 catalog. Additionally, two other GBS sources are resolved binary companions to Tycho-2 stars where both components are separately detected in X-rays. Most of these are likely to be real matches, but we identify nine objects with large and significant X-ray-to-optical offsets as either detections of resolved binary companions or chance alignments. We collate known spectral types for these objects, and also examine Two Micron All Sky Survey colors, variability information from the All-Sky Automated Survey, and X-ray hardness ratios for the brightest objects. Nearly a third of the stars are found to be optically variable, divided roughly evenly between irregular variations and periodic modulations. All fall among the softest objects identified by the GBS. The sample forms a very mixed selection, ranging in spectral class from O9 to M3. In some cases, the X-ray emission appears consistent with normal coronal emission from late-type stars, or wind emission from early-types, but the sample also includes one known Algol, one W UMa system, two Be stars, and several X-ray bright objects likely to be coronally active stars or binaries. Surprisingly, a substantial fraction of the spectroscopically classified, non-coincidental sample (12 out of 38 objects) have late B or A type counterparts. Many of these exhibit redder near-IR colors than expected for their spectral type and/or variability, and it is likely that the X-rays originate from a late-type companion star in most or all of these objects.

- Title:
- 26 type II-Plateau supernovae parameters
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/799/215
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a new self-consistent and versatile method that derives photospheric radius and temperature variations of Type II-Plateau supernovae based on their expansion velocities and photometric measurements. We apply the method to a sample of 26 well-observed, nearby supernovae with published light curves and velocities. We simultaneously fit ~230 velocity and ~6800mag measurements distributed over 21 photometric passbands spanning wavelengths from 0.19 to 2.2{mu}m. The light-curve differences among the Type II-Plateau supernovae are well modeled by assuming different rates of photospheric radius expansion, which we explain as different density profiles of the ejecta, and we argue that steeper density profiles result in flatter plateaus, if everything else remains unchanged. The steep luminosity decline of Type II-Linear supernovae is due to fast evolution of the photospheric temperature, which we verify with a successful fit of SN 1980K. Eliminating the need for theoretical supernova atmosphere models, we obtain self-consistent relative distances, reddenings, and nickel masses fully accounting for all internal model uncertainties and covariances. We use our global fit to estimate the time evolution of any missing band tailored specifically for each supernova, and we construct spectral energy distributions and bolometric light curves. We produce bolometric corrections for all filter combinations in our sample. We compare our model to the theoretical dilution factors and find good agreement for the B and V filters. Our results differ from the theory when the I, J, H, or K bands are included. We investigate the reddening law toward our supernovae and find reasonable agreement with standard R~3.1 reddening law in UBVRI bands. Results for other bands are inconclusive. We make our fitting code publicly available.

- u(bj)r & BV photometry of blue HB stars
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/352/285
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is the second in a series of papers presenting a new calculation of the mass of the Galaxy based on radial velocities and distances for a sample of faint 16<B<21.3 field blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars. We present accurate BV CCD photometry and spectra for 142 candidate A-type stars selected from ubjr photometry of UK Schmidt telescope plates in six high-Galactic-latitude fields. Classification of these candidates produces a sample of 60 BHB stars at distances of 11-52kpc from the Sun (mean 28kpc), with heliocentric line-of-sight velocities accurate to 15km/s, and distance errors <10 per cent. We provide a summary table listing coordinates and velocities of these stars.

- Description:
- The spiral structure of the Milky Way inside the solar circle is still poorly known because of the high density of the material that causes strong extinction towards the Galactic center. We present results of the first extensive and deep color-color diagram (CCD) photometric survey carried out in the field of the open cluster Trumpler 27, an object immersed in a region of extremely high visual absorption in the constellation of Sagittarius not far from the Galaxy center. The survey covers almost a quarter of square degree. We look for young stars clumps that might plausibly be associated with spiral structure. Wide-field UBVI photometry combined with infrared information allows us to reconstruct the distribution in the reddening and distance of young stars in the field using the CCD and color-magnitude diagrams (CMD).

- UBV photometry and ages of Trapezium systems
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/541/841
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We sought to determine the maximum age of Trapezium systems by studying possible trapezium systems that were selected independently of their occurrence in H II regions. We started with the unpublished catalog by Allen, Tapia & Parrao (1977RMxAA...3..119A) of all the known visual systems having three or more stars in which the maximum separation is less than 3.0 times the minimum separation. Their catalog has 968 such systems whose most frequent primary type is F, which does not describe young systems. With a CCD on the Kitt Peak 0.9m telescope we obtained UBV frames for 265 systems accessible with our equipment on Kitt Peak. The frames were used to obtain UBV photometry for about 1500 stars with an accuracy of 0.04mag between V=7 and 14mag. Also these frames were used to obtain astrometry with an accuracy of +/-0.015{deg} in position angle and +/-0.01" in separation. For the brightest star in each system we obtained a spectral type to determine the distance and reddening to the system.

- Description:
- We present simultaneous UBV linear polarization measurements for 361 A- and F-type stars with accurate colour excess and distance determination. These stars are distributed in 35 Kapteyn's Selected Areas, covering the third and fourth quadrants of the galactic plane (|b|<=30{deg}). The obtained polarization and the known colour excess are compared. An analysis of the polarization distribution as a function of the stellar distance is also performed.

- UCAC4 nearby star survey
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/148/119
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We use data from the U.S. Naval Observatory fourth CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC4) in combination with photometry from the AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey and Two Micron All-Sky Survey to identify stars within 25pc of the Sun. A sample of nearby stars with accurate trigonometric parallaxes from the Research Consortium On Nearby Stars is used to generate a set of 16 new photometric color-M_K_ relations that provide distance estimates with uncertainties of 15%. This work expands the available suites of well-calibrated photometric distance relations that can be used to identify nearby stellar systems. The distance relations are used with quality cuts to extract an initial sample of stars from the UCAC4 estimated to be within 25pc. Color, proper motion, and existing literature sources are then used to obtain a clean sample of red dwarfs, while limiting the amount of contamination from background giants, resulting in a sample of 1761 candidate nearby stars within 25pc. Of these, 339 are new discoveries with no previously known published parallax or distance estimate, primarily with proper motions less than 0.2arcsec/yr. Five stars are estimated to be within 10pc, with the nearest, TYC 3980 1081 1, with V=10.50 estimated to be at 5.9pc. That several hundred new stars have been revealed so close to the Sun illustrates once again that there is considerable work yet to be done to map the solar neighborhood and that additional nearby stars are likely still to be discovered.
