161. Combined Lick-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/125A
Title:
Combined Lick-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue
Short Name:
I/125A
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The catalogue contains accurate equatorial coordinates for stars in several bands of sky against which cameras of Voyager spacecraft were pointed for observations in the regions of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune during the flyby. This catalogue is compiled by combining the four reference star catalogues for Voyager mission: Uranus-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue <I/115> Klemola A.R., Owen Jr. W.M. <Lick Obs., Jet Propulsion Lab. (1985)> Neptune-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue <I/140> Klemola A.R., Owen Jr. W.M. <Lick Obs., Jet Propulsion Lab. (1986)> Jupiter-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue <I/152> Klemola A.R., Morabito L., Taraji H. <Lick Obs. (1978)> (Corrections by Owen Jr. W.M., 1990) Saturn-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue <I/153> Klemola A.R., Taraji H., Ocampo A. <Lick Obs. (1979)> (Corrections by Owen Jr. W.M., 1990) Note however that the corrections applied in 1990 to the last two catalogue Jupiter-Voyager and Saturn-Voyager are not incorporated here.
162. Compiled catalog of stellar data of Miras
ID:

Title:
Compiled catalog of stellar data of Miras
Short Name:
J/A+A/384/925
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Compiled Catalogue of Mira variables is a result of a merge of the 4th edition of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS-4) <II/214A> and present-day high-precision catalogues of space (Hipparcos-Tycho family: Hipparcos <I/239>, Tycho-1 <I/239>, Tycho-2 <I/259>, ACT RC <I/246>, TRC <I/250>) and ground-based (CMC11 <I/256>, PPM-N <I/146>, PPM-S <I/193>, PPM-add <I/208>, Kharchenko 1992) data. The catalogue contains 1103 Miras. Equatorial coordinates were taken from the source catalogues in accordance with the priority: Hipparcos, Tycho-2, Tycho-1, CMC11, PPM, Kharchenko 1992. The proper motions of 1041 Miras are calculated as mean weighted values of source data reduced to the Hipparcos system. The radial velocities of 786 Miras were taken from nine catalogues and lists of Feast (1963MNRAS.125..367F, 1966MNRAS.132..495F), Smak and Preston (1965ApJ...142..943S), Perry and Bidelman (1965PASP...77..214P), Feast et al. (1972MNRAS.158...23F), Dean (1976AJ.....81..364D), Barnes and Fekel (1977Obs....97....1B), Feast et al. (1980MNRAS.190..227F), Barbier-Brossat and Figon (2000) <III/213>, and are given with respect of the absorption lines. For those radial velocities, which were determined from emission lines the correction has been made along with Ikaunieks (1971) relation: VR(abs) - VR(em) = 0.035 * Period. For 724 Miras both proper motions and radial velocities are available. The stars in the Compiled Catalogue are sorted in the same order as in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars.

164. Coronae of nearby star clusters

Title:
Coronae of nearby star clusters
Short Name:
J/A+A/645/A84
Date:

Publisher:

Description:
We present a novel view on the morphology and dynamical state of ten prominent, nearby (<=500pc), and young (~30-300Myr) open star clusters with Gaia DR2: Per, Blanco 1, IC 2602, IC 2391, Messier 39, NGC 2451A, NGC 2516, NGC 2547, Platais 9, and the Pleiades. We introduce a pioneering member-identification method that is informed by cluster bulk velocities and deconvolves the spatial distribution with a mixture of Gaussians. Our approach enables inferring the true spatial distribution of the clusters by effectively filtering field star contaminants while at the same time mitigating the effect of positional errors along the line of sight. This first application of the method reveals vast stellar coronae that extend for >~100pc and surround the cluster cores, which are comparatively tiny and compact. The coronae and cores form intertwined, coeval, and comoving extended cluster populations, each encompassing tens of thousands of cubic parsec and stretching across tens of degrees on the sky. Our analysis shows that the coronae are gravitationally unbound but largely comprise the bulk of the stellar mass of the populations. Most systems are in a highly dynamic state, showing evidence of expansion and sometimes simultaneous contraction along different spatial axes. The velocity field of the extended populations for the cluster cores appears asymmetric but is aligned along a spatial axis unique to each cluster. The overall spatial distribution and the kinematic signature of the populations are largely consistent with the differential rotation pattern of the Milky Way. This finding underlines the important role of global Galactic dynamics in the fate of stellar systems. Our results highlight the complexity of the Milky Way's open cluster population and call for a new perspective on the characterization and dynamical state of open clusters.
165. Corrected proper motion for HIP stars

Title:
Corrected proper motion for HIP stars
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Independent Latitude Stations (INDLS) catalog of proper motion in declination {mu}_{delta}_ for 682 bright Hipparcos (HIP) stars is presented. It is obtained in the Hipparcos reference frame, and only the Hipparcos mean position at epoch 1991.25 is used for INDLS data to calculate independent {mu}_{delta}$ (the HIP {mu}_{delta}_ values are not entering the INDLS data). Catalog comparisons were made in pairs for the four catalogs (HIP, new Hipparcos -- NHIP, Gaia DR2, INDLS) to look for possible systematic differences as a function of brightness, color, position coordinates ({alpha}, {delta}). All catalogs were found in agreement, except: 0.21mas/yr for differences INDLS-DR2 in line with the brightness, -0.13mas/yr and 0.24mas/yr for differences HIP-DR2 in line with the free term and brightness respectively, -0.16mas/yr, 0.23mas/yr and 0.13mas/yr for differences NHIP$-$DR2 in line with the free term, brightness and color respectively. A slightly better consistency is in the cases INDLS-NHIP and INDLS-DR2 than HIP-DR2 and NHIP-DR2. The systematic error is in line with brightness on the level 0.1mas/yr in DR2, and near 0.1mas/yr in line with color. An indication that the bright reference frame of DR2 rotates by about 0.1mas/yr relative to the faint quasar frame is in line with a presented sinusoidal curve of differences {mu}_{delta}_ as a function of {alpha}. Its amplitude is A=0.53+/-0.11mas/yr for INDLS-DR2 (0.26+/-0.07 for INDLS-NHIP); about 0.2 belongs to DR2. The level of formal errors is near 1.9mas/yr for the case INDLS-DR2, and near 1.5 for: INDLS-NHIP, HIP-DR2, NHIP-DR2. The values {mu}_{delta}_ of bright DR2 stars could be underestimated; the astrometry is unreliable for G<=6mag due to detector saturation.

Description:
According to the cooperation between Beijing, San Juan and La Plata Astronomical Observatories, the photoelectric astrolabe Mark II(PAII) of the Beijing Astronomical Observatory was moved and installed at the San Juan Observatory, Argentina in January, 1992 for observations of the catalogue of stars in the southern hemisphere. The first observing period was from Feb. 23, 1992 to Mar. 31, 1997. Using the data observed in San Juan with the instrument during this period, residuals for 11002 stars are reduced from about 405700 observations of stars over 1532 days. The mean precision of the residuals is +/-0.043". The Second Catalogue of Stars (CPASJ2) has been compiled from double transits at both the eastern and western passages. There are 5241 stars in this catalogue, including 1225 FK5/FK4Supp stars, 794 FK5Ext stars, 1084 SRS stars, 937 CAMC4 stars, 310 GC stars and 891 IMF stars. The mean precisions are +/-3.2ms and +/-0.057" in right ascension and declination, respectively. The magnitudes of stars are from 2.0 to 11.5. The declinations are from -3{deg} to -60{deg}. The mean epoch is 1994.9. Finally, systematic corrections of(CPASJ2-FK5) are given.
