- Description:
- We have used the 2.3-meter Vainu Bappu Telescope to perform CCD imaging of X-ray-selected poor clusters of galaxies. Our sample consists of four X-ray luminous clusters in the Einstein Observatory Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) and noted by Gioia & Luppino (1994ApJS...94..583G) to be optically less rich than Abell clusters. The sample spans a redshift range of 0.08<=z<=0.22. We have assembled catalogs of galaxies detected in the cluster fields to a magnitude limit m_V_~22. This paper describes the data reduction performed on the CCD images, the methods used to construct the extended object catalogs, the photometric calibrations, and some understanding of their completeness and contamination.

- Description:
- The B0V star BD+46 3474 lies near the front surface of a dense molecular cloud and illuminates the emission/reflection nebula IC 5146. The HAeBe variable BD +46 3471 is embedded in the same cloud, about 10' (3.5pc) away. CCD photometry in BV(RI)_C_ (to V=22) and in JHK (to about K=16.5) has been obtained for the young clusters surrounding each of these two bright stars. Some 100 emission-H{alpha} stars brighter than R=20.5 have been found in the area, most of them in IC 5146. (Among these are two that have spectra resembling a high-excitation Herbig-Haro [HH] object plus a stellar continuum).

- BV(RI)c light curves of BS Com

- Description:
- We derive the basic physical parameters of the field double-mode RR Lyrae star BS Com from its observed periods and the requirement of consistency between the pulsational and evolutionary constraints. We performed a standard frequency analysis on the V data by discrete Fourier transformation. We derived P0=0.48791d and P1=0.36307d for the periods of the fundamental and the first overtone modes, respectively.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present UBVIc CCD photometry of the young open cluster Stock 8 with the aim of studying its basic properties such as the amount of interstellar extinction, distance, age, stellar contents and initial mass function (IMF). We also studied the star formation scenario in this region. From optical data, the radius of the cluster is found to be ~6arcmin (~3.6pc) and the reddening within the cluster region varies from E(B-V)=0.40 to 0.60mag. The cluster is located at a distance of 2.05+/-0.10kpc. Using H{alpha} slitless spectroscopy and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) near-infrared (NIR) data we identified H{alpha} emission and NIR-excess young stellar objects (YSOs), respectively.

- Description:
- We present the results of a deep, wide-field CCD survey for the open cluster NGC 3532. Our new BV(RI)c photometry effectively covers a one square degree area and reaches an unprecedented depth of V~21 to reveal that NGC 3532 is a rich open cluster that harbors a large number of faint, low-mass stars. We employ a number of methods to reduce the impact of field star contamination in the cluster color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), including supplementing our photometry with JHKs data from the 2MASS catalog. These efforts allow us to define a robust sample of candidate main-sequence stars suitable for a purely empirical determination of the cluster's parameters by comparing them to the well-established Hyades main sequence.

- BVRI differential photometry of GW Gem
- Short Name:
- J/PASP/121/104
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- New multiband CCD photometry is presented for the eclipsing binary GW Gem; the RI light curves are the first ever compiled. Four new minimum timings have been determined. Our analysis of eclipse timings observed during the past 79 years indicates a continuous period increase at a fractional rate of +(1.2+/-0.1)x10^10^, in excellent agreement with the value +1.1x10^-10^ calculated from the Wilson-Devinney binary code. The new light curves display an inverse O'Connell effect increasing toward longer wavelengths. Hot- and cool-spot models are developed to describe these variations but we prefer a cool spot on the secondary star. Our light-curve synthesis reveals that GW Gem is in a semidetached, but near-contact, configuration. It appears to consist of a near-main-sequence primary star with a spectral type of about A7 and an evolved early K-type secondary star that completely fills its inner Roche lobe. Mass transfer from the secondary to the primary component is responsible for the observed secular period change.

- BVRIJK and velocities for MC Cepheids
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Description:
- We present high precision and well sampled BVRIJK light curves and radial velocity curves for a sample of five (+1) Cepheids in the SMC. In addition we present radial velocity curves for five (+1) Cepheids in the LMC. The low metallicity ([Fe/H]~-0.7) SMC stars have been selected for use in a Baade-Wesselink type analysis to constrain the metallicity effect on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation. The stars have periods of around 15 days so they are similar to the Cepheids observed by the Extragalactic Distance Scale Key Project on the Hubble Space Telescope. We show that the stars are representative of the SMC Cepheid population at that period and thus will provide a good sample for the proposed analysis. The actual Baade-Wesselink analysis are presented in Strom et al., 2004, Cat. <J/A+A/415/531>.

- BVRI light curves of {eta} Car
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The periodicity of 5.5 years for some observational events occurring in {eta} Carinae manifests itself across a large wavelength range and has been associated with its binary nature. These events are supposed to occur when the binary components are close to periastron. To detect the previous periastron passage of {eta} Car in 2003, we started an intensive, ground-based, optical, photometric observing campaign. We continued observing the object to monitor its photometric behavior and variability across the entire orbital cycle. Our observation program consisted of daily differential photometry from CCD images, which were acquired using a 0.8m telescope and a standard BVRI filter set at La Plata Observatory. The photometry includes the central object and the surrounding Homunculus nebula. We present up-to-date results of our observing program, including homogeneous photometric data collected between 2003 and 2008. Our observations demonstrated that {eta} Car has continued increasing in brightness at a constant rate since 1998. In 2006, it reached its brightest magnitude (V~4.7) since about 1860s. The object then suddenly reverted its brightening trend, fading to V=5.0 at the beginning of 2007, and has maintained a quite steady state since then. We continue the photometric monitoring of {eta} Car in anticipation of the next "periastron passage", predicted to occur at the beginning of 2009.

- Description:
- The TeV BL Lac object PG 1553+113 is one of the primary candidates for a binary supermassive black hole system. We study the flux and spectral variability of PG 1553+113 on intra-night to long-term timescales using (i) BVRI data collected over 76 nights from January 2016 to August 2019 involving nine optical telescopes and (ii) historical VR data (including ours) obtained for the period from 2005 to 2019. We analysed the light curves using various statistical tests, fitting and cross-correlation techniques, and methods for the search for periodicity. We examined the colour-magnitude diagrams before and after the corresponding light curves were corrected for the long-term variations. Our intra-night monitoring, supplemented with literature data, result in a low duty cycle of ~(10-17)%. In April 2019, we recorded a flare, which marks the brightest state of PG 1553+113 for the period from 2005 to 2019: R~13.2mag. This flare is found to show a clockwise spectral hysteresis loop on its VR colour-magnitude diagram and a time lag in the sense that the V-band variations lead the R-band ones. We obtain estimates of the radius, the magnetic field strength, and the electron energy that characterize the emission region related to the flare. We find a median period of (2.21+/-0.04) years using the historical light curves. In addition, we detect a secondary period of about 210 days using the historical light curves corrected for the long-term variations. We briefly discuss the possible origin of this period.
