- Absolute spectrum of the Sun and Vega for 0.2-30um

- Description:
- We determine an absolute calibration for the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer 24um band and recommend adjustments to the published calibrations for Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), Infrared Array Camera (IRAC), and IRAS photometry to put them on the same scale. We show that consistent results are obtained by basing the calibration on either an average A0V star spectral energy distribution (SED), or by using the absolutely calibrated SED of the Sun in comparison with solar-type stellar photometry (the solar analog method).

- Title:
- ALHAMBRA photometric system
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- This paper presents the characterization of the optical range of the ALHAMBRA photometric system, a 20 contiguous, equal-width, medium-band CCD system with wavelength coverage from 3500{AA} to 9700{AA}. The photometric description of the system is done by presenting the full response curve as a product of the filters, CCD, and atmospheric transmission curves, and using some first- and second-order moments of this response function. We also introduce the set of standard stars that defines the system, formed by 31 classic spectrophotometric standard stars which have been used in the calibration of other known photometric systems, and 288 stars, flux calibrated homogeneously, from the Next Generation Spectral Library (NGSL). Based on the NGSL, we determine the transformation equations between Sloan Digital Sky Survey ugriz photometry and the ALHAMBRA photometric system, in order to establish some relations between both systems. Finally, we develop and discuss a strategy to calculate the photometric zero points of the different pointings in the ALHAMBRA project.

- Title:
- Atlas of 840-880nm spectral region
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This Atlas illustrates the behavior of stars of all spectral types in the near infrared 8400-8800 Angstrom spectral region with a resolution of about one Angstrom. The spectra have been obtained at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence at a dispersion of 33{AA}/mm. A total of 130 spectra (76 of early-type stars published in Paper I, and 54 of late-type stars published in Paper II) are available. They cover the spectral range O to M and different luminosity classes. The Atlas includes also spectra of stars with spectral peculiarities: 19 from Paper I and 11 from Paper II.

- BVI photometry in NGC 300

- Description:
- Based on 13 nights of observations of four fields in NGC 300, we have set up an extensive sequence of stars with accurate BVI photometry covering a relatively large (25'x25') region centered on this galaxy. This sequence of standard stars is very useful for calibrating the photometry of variable stars and other objects in NGC 300 and other galaxies obtained from wide-field mosaic images. Our standard-star list contains B, V, and I measurements for 390 stars. The accuracy of the zero points in the V filter and B-V color is better than 0.02mag, and about 0.03mag for the V-I color. We found very good agreement between our measurements and those previously obtained by Walker for 26 stars near NGC 300.

- Calibrator stars for 200m baseline interferometry
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of reference stars suitable for calibrating infrared interferometric observations. In the K band, visibilities can be calibrated with a precision of 1% on baselines up to 200 meters for the whole sky, and up to 300 meters for some part of the sky. This work, extending to longer baselines a previous catalog compiled by Borde et al. (2002, Cat. <J/A+A/393/183>), is particularly well adapted to hectometric-class interferometers. We use the absolute spectro-photometric calibration method introduced by Cohen et al. (1999AJ....117.1864C) to derive the angular diameters of our new set of stars.

- CARMENES input catalogue of M dwarfs. I
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/577/A128
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- CARMENES is a stabilised, high-resolution, double-channel spectrograph at the 3.5m Calar Alto telescope. It is optimally designed for radial-velocity surveys of M dwarfs with potentially habitable Earth-mass planets. We prepare a list of the brightest, single M dwarfs in each spectral subtype observable from the northern hemisphere, from which we will select the best planet-hunting targets for CARMENES. In this first paper on the preparation of our input catalogue, we compiled a large amount of public data and collected low-resolution optical spectroscopy with CAFOS at the 2.2m Calar Alto telescope for 753 stars. We derived accurate spectral types using a dense grid of standard stars, a double least-squares minimisation technique, and 31 spectral indices previously defined by other authors. Additionally, we quantified surface gravity, metallicity, and chromospheric activity for all the stars in our sample. We calculated spectral types for all 753 stars, of which 305 are new and 448 are revised. We measured pseudo-equivalent widths of H{alpha} for all the stars in our sample, concluded that chromospheric activity does not affect spectral typing from our indices, and tabulated 49 stars that had been reported to be young stars in open clusters, moving groups, and stellar associations. Of the 753 stars, two are new subdwarf candidates, three are T Tauri stars, 25 are giants, 44 are K dwarfs, and 679 are M dwarfs. Many of the 261 investigated dwarfs in the range M4.0-8.0 V are among the brightest stars known in their spectral subtype.

- Description:
- We search for low-mass companions of M dwarfs and characterize their multiplicity fraction with the purpose of helping in the selection of the most appropriate targets for the CARMENES exoplanet survey. We obtained high-resolution images in the I band with the lucky imaging instrument FastCam at the 1.5m Telescopio Carlos Sanchez for 490 mid- to late-M dwarfs. For all the detected binaries, we measured angular separations, position angles, and magnitude differences in the I band. We also calculated the masses of each individual component and estimated orbital periods, using the available magnitude and colour relations for M dwarfs and our own M_J_-spectral type and mass-M_I_ relations. To avoid biases in our sample selection, we built a volume-limited sample of M0.0-M5.0 dwarfs that is complete up to 86% within 14pc.

- Description:
- CARMENES is a spectrograph for radial velocity surveys of M dwarfs with the aim of detecting Earth-mass planets orbiting in the habitable zones of their host stars. To ensure an optimal use of the CARMENES guaranteed time observations, in this paper we investigate the correlation of activity and rotation for approximately 2200 M dwarfs, ranging in spectral type from M0.0 V to M9.0 V. We present new high-resolution spectroscopic observations with FEROS, CAFE, and HRS of approximately 500 M dwarfs. For each new observation, we determined its radial velocity and measured its H{alpha} activity index and its rotation velocity. Additionally, we have multiple observations of many stars to investigate if there are any radial velocity variations due to multiplicity. The results of our survey confirm that early-M dwarfs are H{alpha} inactive with low rotational velocities and that late-M dwarfs are H{alpha} active with very high rotational velocities. The results of this high-resolution analysis comprise the most extensive catalogue of rotation and activity in M dwarfs currently available.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The main goal of this work is to measure rotation periods of the M-type dwarf stars being observed by the CARMENES exoplanet survey to help distinguish radial-velocity signals produced by magnetic activity from those produced by exoplanets. Rotation periods are also fundamental for a detailed study of the relation between activity and rotation in late-type stars. We look for significant periodic signals in 622 photometric time series of 337 bright, nearby M dwarfs obtained by long-time baseline, automated surveys (MEarth, ASAS, SuperWASP, NSVS, Catalina, ASAS-SN, K2, and HATNet) and, for 20 stars, obtained by us with four 0.2-0.8m telescopes at high geographical latitudes. We present 142 rotation periods (73 new) from 0.12d to 133d and ten long-term activity cycles (six new) from 3.0a to 11.5a. We compare our determinations with those in the existing literature, investigate the distribution of Prot in the CARMENES input catalogue, the amplitude of photometric variability, and their relation to vsini and pEW(H{alpha}), and identify three very active stars with new rotation periods between 0.34d and 23.6d.
