- Description:
- {gamma} Cas is the prototypical classical Be star and is recently best known for its variable hard X-ray emission. To elucidate the reasons for this emission, we mounted a multiwavelength campaign in 2010 centered around four XMM-Newton observations. The observational techniques included long baseline optical interferometry (LBOI) from two instruments at CHARA, photometry carried out by an automated photometric telescope and H{alpha} observations. Because {gamma} Cas is also known to be in a binary, we measured radial velocities from the H{alpha} line and redetermined its period as 203.55+/-0.20 days and its eccentricity as near zero.

- Description:
- Slitless CCD spectra were obtained covering the bulk (about 3 square degrees) of the Small Magellanic Cloud. For H{alpha} line-emission twice as strong as the ambient continuum, the survey is complete to spectral type B2/B3 on the main sequence. About 8120 spectra of 4437 stars were searched for emission lines in 84 open clusters, and 370 emission-line stars were found, among them at least 231 close to the main sequence. For 176 of them, photometry is available from the OGLE database. For comparison with a higher-metallicity environment, the Galactic sample of the photometric H{alpha} survey by McSwain & Gies (2005, Cat. <J/ApJS/161/118>) was used. Among early spectral sub-types, Be stars are more frequent by a factor ~3-5 in the SMC than in the Galaxy. The distribution with spectral type is similar in both galaxies, i.e., not strongly dependent on metallicity. The fraction of Be stars does not seem to vary with local star density. The Be phenomenon mainly sets in towards the end of the main-sequence evolution (this trend may be more pronounced in the SMC); but some Be stars already form with Be-star characteristics. In small subsamples (such as single clusters), even if they appear identical, the fraction of emission-line stars can deviate drastically from the mean. In all probability, the fractional critical angular rotation rate, OMC, is one of the main parameters governing the occurrence of the Be phenomenon. If the Be character is only acquired during the course of evolution, the key circumstance is the evolution of OMC, which is not only dependent on metallicity but differently so for different mass ranges. As a result, even if the Be phenomenon is driven basically by a single parameter (namely OMC), it can assume a complex multi-parametric appearance. The large cluster-to-cluster differences, which seem stronger than all other variations, serve as a caveat that this big picture may undergo significant second-order modulations (e.g., pulsations, initial angular momentum, etc).

- H{alpha} emission line sources from IPHAS

- Description:
- We present the first catalogue of point-source H{alpha} emission line objects selected from the INT/WFC Photometric H{alpha} Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS). In total, our catalogue contains 4853 point sources that exhibit strong photometric evidence for H{alpha} emission. The catalogue is a conservative subset of the emitters present in IPHAS and it is likely that there are many more H{alpha} emitters present in the area of the Galactic Plane that IPHAS observes. Our selection criteria are designed to be conservative (rather than complete) in order to avoid a significant number of false positives in the catalogue. In line with this, we find that of the ~300 catalogue sources for which we have preliminary spectroscopic follow-up observations, more than 95% are confirmed as genuine emission-line sources.

- CDS
- Description:
- A deep objective-prism survey for H-alpha emission stars towards the Canis Major star-forming clouds was performed. A total of 398 Halpha emitters were detected, 353 of which are new detections. There is a strong concentration of these H-alpha emitters towards the molecular clouds surrounding the CMa OB1 association, and it is likely that these stars are young stellar objects recently born in the clouds. An additional population of H-alpha emitters is scattered all across the region, and probably includes unrelated foreground dMe stars and background Be stars. About 90% of the H-alpha emitters are detected by WISE, of which 75% was detected with usable photometry. When plotted in a WISE colour-colour diagram it appears that the majority are Class II YSOs. Coordinates and finding charts are provided for all the new stars, and coordinates for all the detections. We searched the Gaia-DR2 catalogue and from 334 Halpha emission stars with useful parallaxes, we selected a subset of 98 stars that have parallax errors of less than 20% and nominal distances in the interval 1050 to 1350pc that surrounds a strong peak at 1185pc in the distance distribution. Similarly, Gaia distances were obtained for 51 OB-stars located towards Canis Major and selected with the same parallax errors as the H-alpha stars. We find a median distance for the OB stars of 1182pc, in excellent correspondence with the distance from the H-alpha stars. Two known runaway stars are confirmed as members of the association. Finally, two new Herbig-Haro objects are identified.

- Description:
- We describe a search for H{alpha} emission-line stars in M31, M33, and seven dwarfs in or near the Local Group (IC 10, NGC 6822, WLM, Sextans B, Sextans A, Pegasus, and the Phoenix dwarf) using interference filter imaging with the KPNO and CTIO 4m telescopes and Mosaic cameras. The survey is aimed primarily at identifying new luminous blue variables (LBVs) from their spectroscopic similarity to known LBVs, avoiding the bias toward photometric variability, which may require centuries to manifest itself if LBVs go through long quiescent periods. Follow-up spectroscopy with WIYN confirms that our survey detected a wealth of stars whose spectra are similar to the known LBVs.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a deep survey of H-alpha emission-line stars in the M42 region using wide-field objective prism films. A total of 1699 H{alpha} emission-line stars were identified, of which 1025 were previously unknown, within an area of 5.5{deg}x5.5{deg} centred on the Trapezium Cluster. We present H-alpha strength estimates, positions, and JHKs photometry extracted from 2MASS, and comparisons to previous surveys. The spatial distribution of the bulk of the stars follows the molecular cloud as seen in CO and these stars are likely to belong to the very young population of stars associated with the Orion Nebula Cluster. Additionally, there is a scattered population of H-alpha emission-line stars distributed all over the region surveyed, which may consist partly of foreground stars associated with the young NGC 1980 cluster, as well as some foreground and background dMe or Be stars. The present catalogue adds a large number of candidate low-mass young stars belonging to the Orion population, selected independently of their infrared excess or X-ray emission.

- H{alpha} emission stars in IC 1274
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- IC 1274 is a faintly luminous nebula lying on the near surface of the Lynds 227 (L227) molecular cloud. Its cavity-like morphology is reminiscent of a blistered star-forming region. Four luminous, early-type (B0-B5) stars are located within a spherical volume ~5' in diameter that appears to be clear of heavy obscuration. Approximately centered in the cleared region is the B0 V star HD 166033, which is thought to be largely responsible for the cavity's excavation. Over 80 H{alpha} emission sources brighter than V~21 have been identified in the region. More than half of these are concentrated in IC 1274 and are presumably members of a faint T Tauri star population. Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer imaging of a nearby suspected pulsar and time-variable {gamma}-ray source (GeV J1809-2327) detected 21 X-ray sources in the cluster vicinity, some of which are coincident with the early-type stars and H{alpha} emitters in IC 1274. Deep (V~22) optical BVRI photometry has been obtained for the cluster region. A distance of 1.82+/-0.3kpc and a mean extinction of AV~1.21+/-0.2mag follow from photometry of the early-type stars. Using pre-main-sequence evolutionary models, we derive a median age for the H{alpha} emitters and X-ray sources of ~1Myr; however, a significant dispersion is present. The displaced material was driven against what remains of the molecular cloud to the east, enabling the formation of the substantial number of T Tauri stars found there. A dispersed population of H{alpha} emitters is also found along the periphery of L227, IC 1275, and IC 4684.

- Description:
- L988 is a large (~0.5{deg}x0.7{deg}) dark cloud complex at about 600pc that contains several bright pre-main-sequence objects (such as V1331 Cyg and LkH{alpha} 321), but this paper deals in detail only with a small region on its eastern edge, near the HAeBe star LkH{alpha} 324. That star and its distant companion LkH{alpha} 324SE lie at the apex of a V-shaped area apparently excavated from the edge of L988, and are the brightest members of a small cluster containing about 50 H{alpha}-emission stars.
