- Description:
- (Excerpt from the "intro.txt" file) Between 1959 and 1971, the Hamburg and Warner and Swasey Observatories published a seven-volume survey listing intrinsically luminous stars (hereafter "LS" objects) - mostly OB stars, as well as a number of A, F, and G supergiants and Wolf-Rayet stars - within about ten degrees of the plane of the Milky Way to a limiting photographic magnitude of approximately 13.5. Based on objective-prism surveys of dispersion 580 Angstrom per millimeter at Hydrogen-gamma, these catalogs have served as starting points for numerous investigations of galactic structure and the characteristics of massive stars. Much fundamental data on the LS stars now exists distributed throughout the astronomical literature. This work describes a compilation of published photoelectric UBV-Beta photometry and spectral classifications nominally on the MK system for the LS stars, as well as an extensive cross-identification table linking LS numbers and other commonly-used identifiers such as HD, BD, CD, CPD and HR numbers. At this writing, the UBV-Beta portion of the database covers both the Northern and Southern LS stars, whereas MK classifications have as yet only been fully compiled for the Southern stars; compilation of MK types for the Northern LS stars is as yet incomplete, but ongoing.

- Description:
- We present UBV CCD observations obtained in the field of the northern open cluster NGC 1220, for which little information is available. We provide also BV CCD photometry of a field 5' northward of NGC 1220 to take into account field star contamination. We argue that NGC 1220 is a young compact open cluster, for which we estimate a core radius in the range 1.5-2.0arcmin. We identify 26 likely candidate members with spectral type earlier than A5, down to V_0_=15.00mag on the basis of the position in the two-colour Diagram and in the Colour Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs). By analyzing the distribution of these stars in the colour-colour and CMDs, we find that NGC 1220 has a reddening E(B-V)=0.70+/-0.15mag, is placed 1800+/-200pc distant from the Sun, and has an age of about 60Myrs. The cluster turns out to be located about 120pc above the Galactic plane, relatively high with respect to its age.

- Description:
- We present spectroscopy and photometry of the He-rich supernova (SN) 2008ax. The early-time spectra show prominent P-Cygni H lines, which decrease with time and disappear completely about 2 months after the explosion. In the same period HeI lines become the most prominent spectral features. SN 2008ax displays the ordinary spectral evolution of a Type IIb supernova. A stringent pre-discovery limit constrains the time of the shock breakout of SN 2008ax to within only a few hours. Its light curve, which peaks in the B band about 20d after the explosion, strongly resembles that of other He-rich core-collapse supernovae. The observed evolution of SN 2008ax is consistent with the explosion of a young Wolf-Rayet (of WNL type) star, which had retained a thin, low-mass shell of its original H envelope. The overall characteristics of SN 2008ax are reminiscent of those of SN 1993J, except for a likely smaller H mass. This may account for the findings that the progenitor of SN 2008ax was a WNL star and not a K supergiant as in the case of SN 1993J, that a prominent early-time peak is missing in the light curve of SN 2008ax, and that H{alpha} is observed at higher velocities in SN 2008ax than in SN 1993J.

- Description:
- We have performed new wide-field photometry of the young open cluster NGC6231 to study the shape of the initial mass function (IMF) and mass segregation. We also investigated the reddening law toward NGC6231 from optical to mid-infrared color excess ratios, and found that the total-to-selective extinction ratio is R_V_=3.2, which is very close to the normal value. But many early-type stars in the cluster center show large color excess ratios. We derived the surface density profiles of four member groups, and found that they reach the surface density of field stars at about 10', regardless of stellar mass. The IMF of NGC6231 is derived for the mass range 0.8-45M_{sun}_. The slope of the IMF of NGC6231 ({Gamma}=-1.1+/-0.1) is slightly shallower than the canonical value, but the difference is marginal. In addition, the mass function varies systematically, and is a strong function of radius-it is very shallow at the center, and very steep at the outer ring suggesting the cluster is mass segregated. We confirm the mass segregation for the massive stars (m>~8 M_{sun}_) by a minimum spanning tree analysis. Using a Monte Carlo method, we estimate the total mass of NGC6231 to be about 2.6(+/-0.6)*10^3^M_{sun}_. We constrain the age of NGC 6231 by comparison with evolutionary isochrones. The age of the low-mass stars ranges from 1 to 7Myr with a slight peak at 3Myr. However, the age of the high-mass stars depends on the adopted models and is 3.5+/-0.5Myr from the non-rotating or moderately rotating models of Brott et al. (2011, cat. J/A+A/530/A115) as well as the non-rotating models of Ekstrom et al. (2012, cat. J/A+A/537/A146). But the age is 4.0-7.0Myr if the rotating models of Ekstrom et al. (2012, cat. J/A+A/537/A146) are adopted. This latter age is in excellent agreement with the timescale of ejection of the high-mass runaway star HD153919 from NGC6231, albeit the younger age cannot be entirely excluded.

- Description:
- We present CCD UBV(I)c observations obtained in the field of the previously unstudied northern open clusters NGC 1582 and NGC 1663. For the former, we also provide high-resolution spectra of the brightest stars and complement our data with Two-Micron All Sky-Survey (2MASS) near-infrared photometry and with astrometric data from the Tycho-2 catalog. From the analysis of all these data, we argue that NGC 1582 is a very poor, quite large and heavily contaminated open cluster. It turns out to have a reddening E(B-V)=0.35+/-0.03, to be situated 1100+/-100pc from the Sun and to have an age of 300+/-100Myr. On the other hand, we were not able to unambiguously clarify the nature of NGC 1663. By assuming it is a real cluster and from the analysis of its photometric diagrams, we found a color excess value E(B-V)=0.20, an intermediate age value (~2000Myr) and a distance of about 700pc. The distribution of the stars in the region however suggests we are probably facing an open cluster remnant. As an additional result, we obtained aperture photometry of three previously unclassified galaxies placed in the field of NGC 1663 and performed a preliminary morphological classification of them.

- Description:
- We present new UBVIc CCD photometry of the young open clusters Trumpler 14 (Tr 14) and Trumpler 16 (Tr 16) in the {eta} Carina Nebula (NGC 3372). We also identify the optical counterpart of Chandra X-ray sources and Two Micron All Sky Survey point sources. The members of the clusters were selected from the proper-motion study, spectral types, reddening characteristics, and X-ray or near-IR excess emission. An abnormal reddening law R_V,cl_=4.4+/-0.2 was obtained for the stars in the {eta} Carina Nebula using the 141 early-type stars with high proper-motion membership probability (P_{mu}_>=70%). We determined the distance to each cluster and conclude that Tr 14 and Tr 16 have practically the same distance modulus of V_0_-M_V_=12.3+/-0.2mag (d=2.9+/-0.3kpc). The slope of the initial mass function was determined to be {Gamma}=-1.3+/-0.1 for Tr 14, {Gamma}=-1.3+/-0.1 for Tr 16, and {Gamma}=-1.4+/-0.1 for all members in the observed region for the stars with log m>=0.2. We also estimated the age of the clusters to be about 1-3Myr from the evolutionary stage of evolved stars and low-mass pre-main-sequence stars.

- Description:
- CCD UBVI imaging photometry was carried out in the field of the open cluster NGC 2571. From the analysis of our data we state the cluster is at a distance of 1380+/-130pc and its age is 50+/-10x10^6yr. The cluster mass function has a slope larger than a typical Salpeter's law. There are two notorious features in NGC 2571: the cluster contains a high proportion of stars located below the reference line that are serious candidates to be metallic line stars (probably Am-Fm), and shows also a sharp gap along its main sequence that cannot be explained by a random process nor by a biased rejection of cluster members. A striking blue object was detected in the cluster field that could be a white dwarf candidate. We carried out CCD imaging photometry in the Kron-Cousins UBVI system on April 27 and 29, 1994 using a 1024x1024pix CCD with a scale of 0.37"/pix and a field of view of 6.3'x6.3' attached to the 1.54-m Danish telescope at ESO, La Silla, Chile.
