- Description:
- We present results for the QUEST RR Lyrae Survey at low Galactic latitude, conducted entirely with observations obtained with the QUEST mosaic camera and the 1.0/1.5-m Jurgen Stock Schmidt telescope at the National Observatory of Venezuela. The survey spans an area of 476deg^2^ on the sky, with multi-epoch observations in the V, R and I photometric bands for 6.5x10^6^ stars in the Galactic latitude range -30{deg}<=b<=+25{deg}, in a direction close to the Galactic anticentre 190{deg}<=l<=230{deg}. The variability survey has a typical number of 30 observations per object in V and I and ~25 in R, with up to ~120-150 epochs in V and I and up to ~100 in R in the best sampled regions. The completeness magnitudes of the survey are V=R=18.5mag, and I=18.0mag. We identified 211 RR Lyrae stars, 160 bona fide stars of type ab and 51 candidates of type c, ours being the first deep RR Lyrae survey conducted at low Galactic latitude, in the Galactic disc. The completeness of the RR Lyrae survey was estimated in >~95 and ~85 per cent for RRab and RRc stars, respectively. Photometric metallicities were computed based on the light curves and individual extinctions calculated from minimum light colours for each RRab star. Distances were obtained with typical errors ~7 per cent. The RR Lyrae survey simultaneously spans a large range of heliocentric distances 0.5<=R_hel_(kpc)<=40 and heights above the plane -15<=z(kpc)<=+20, with well-known completeness across the survey area, making it an ideal set for studying the structure of the Galactic thick disc.

- Description:
- This paper reports an update to the QUEST1 (QUasar Equatorial Survey Team, Phase 1) Variability Survey (QVS) light curve catalog, which links QVS instrumental Light curve magnitude at jdlight curves to Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) objects and photometry. In the time since the original QVS catalog release, the overlap between publicly available SDSS data and QVS data has increased by 8% in sky coverage and 16728 in number of matched objects. The astrometric matching and the treatment of SDSS masks have been refined for the updated catalog. We report on these improvements and present multiple bandpass light curves, global variability information, and matched SDSS photometry for 214941 QUEST1 objects.

- Description:
- Rotational properties of late-type low-mass members of associations of known age provide a fundamental source of information on stellar internal structure and its evolution. We aim at determining the rotational and magnetic-related activity properties of stars at different stages of evolution. We focus our attention primarily on members of young stellar associations of known ages. Specifically, we extend our previous analysis in Paper I (Messina et al., 2010, Cat. J/A+A/520/A15) to 3 additional young stellar associations beyond 100pc and with ages in the range 6-40Myr: {epsilon} Chamaeleontis (~6Myr), Octans (~20Myr), and Argus (~40Myr). Additional rotational data of {eta} Chamaeleontis and IC 2391 clusters are also considered. Rotational periods were determined by applying the Lomb-Scargle periodogram technique to photometric time-series data obtained by the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) and the Wide Angle Search for Planets (SuperWASP) archives. The magnetic activity level was derived from the amplitude of the V light curves.

- Description:
- Examining the angular momentum of stars and its interplay with their magnetic fields represent a promising way to probe the stellar internal structure and evolution of low-mass stars. We attempt to determine the rotational and magnetic-related activity properties of stars at different stages of evolution.We focused our attention primarily on members of clusters and young stellar associations of known ages. In this study, our targets are 6 young loose stellar associations within 100pc and with ages in the range 8-70Myr: TW Hydrae (~8Myr), beta Pictoris (~10Myr), Tucana/Horologium, Columba, Carina (~30Myr), and AB Doradus (~70Myr). Additional rotational data for alpha Persei and the Pleiades from the literature are also considered.

- Radial velocities and BV photometry of HD 144110
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/130/794
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- New spectroscopic and photometric observations of HD 144110 have been used to obtain an improved orbital element solution and determine some basic properties of the system. This chromospherically active, double-lined spectroscopic binary has an orbital period of 1.6714012days and a circular orbit. We classify the components as G5 V and K0 V and suggest that they are slightly metal-rich. The photometric observations indicate that the rotation of HD 144110 is synchronous with the orbital period. Despite the short orbital period, no evidence of eclipses is seen in our photometry.

- Description:
- We obtained time-series radial-velocity spectroscopy of 20 cataclysmic variable stars, with the aim of determining orbital periods P_orb_. All of the stars reported here prove to have P_orb>_3.5h. For 16 of the stars, these are the first available period determinations, and for the remaining four (V709 Cas, AF Cam, V1062 Tau, and RX J2133+51), we use new observations to improve the accuracy of previously published periods. Most of the targets are dwarf novae, without notable idiosyncrasies.

- Radial velocities of 35 cataclysmic variables

- Description:
- We report follow-up studies of 35 recently discovered cataclysmic variables (CVs), 32 of which were found in large, automated synoptic sky surveys. The objects were selected for observational tractability. For 34 of the objects, we present mean spectra and spectroscopic orbital periods, and for one more we give an eclipse-based period. Thirty-two of the period determinations are new, and three of these refine published estimates based on superhump periods. The remaining three of our determinations confirm previously published periods. Twenty of the stars are confirmed or suspected dwarf novae with periods shorter than 3 hr, but we also find three apparent polars (AM Her stars) and six systems with P>5hr. Five of these systems have secondary stars visible in their spectra, from which we estimate distances when possible. The orbital period distribution of this sample is very similar to that of previously discovered CVs.

- Description:
- Continued radial velocity observations over several years, have allowed to discover four spectroscopic binary systems among our sample of twenty five galactic Cepheids. Each system is composed by the Cepheid and an invisible probably hot dwarf star. A spectroscopic orbit has been determined for each system. The orbital periods for RX Cam, MW Cyg, Z Lac and U Vul are 1113, 439, 383 and 2510 days, respectively. For the pulsation motion, radial velocity versus phase diagram have been fitted by an analytic relation, formally similar to a Kepler motion. The stellar radius variation of each cepheid has been derived by integration of this relation over the whole pulsating period.

- The catalogue contains 5905 individual radial velocity values for 126 Cepheids. 1446 individual radial velocity values for 79 fields Cepheids and three Cepheids in globular clusters were made in 1987-1991, 2140 individual radial-velocity measurements were made for 86 Cepheids between 1992 and 1995, and 2444 radial-velocity measurements for 108 Cepheids were made on the 1995-1998. The observations were made with the correlation spectrometer designed by A.A. Tokovinin.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present new radial velocities (RVs), improved pulsation periods, and reference epochs of 11 field RR Lyrae ab-type variables: AS Vir, BS Aps, CD Vel, DT Hya, RV Oct, TY Gru, UV Oct, V1645 Sgr, WY Ant, XZ Aps, and Z Mic. This study is based on high-resolution spectra obtained with the echelle spectrograph of the 2.5m du Pont telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. We obtained ~200 spectra per star (i.e., a total of ~2300 spectra), distributed more or less uniformly throughout their pulsation cycles. RV curves and photometric light curves phased to our new ephemerides are presented for all program stars.
