- Description:
- In 2008-2010, we obtained 6095 CCD frames in the BVIc photometric system for 49 classical Cepheids discovered in the ASAS-3 project. The observations were obtained on the 76-cm telescope of the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO, RSA) and the 40-cm telescope of the Cerro Armazones Observatory of the Catholic University of the North (OCA, Chile), with a SBIGCCD ST-10XME camera. We present tabulated observations, light curves, and revised elements for the brightness variations.

- Description:
- We present a new, BVIc photometric survey of the young open cluster IC 4665, which improves on previous studies of this young cluster by incorporating a rigorous standardization procedure, thus providing high-fidelity colors and magnitudes for cluster members. We use this new photometric dataset to reevaluate the properties (age and distance) of IC 4665.

- Description:
- We present new photometric data for 14 galactic open clusters taken by the 65cm telescope at Gunma Astronomical Observatory. They were in the anti-galactic center region selected from the Catalog of Open Cluster Data (Lynga, 1987, See Cat. <J/A+A/438/1163>). We estimated the parameters of the clusters, i.e., age, metallicity, distance, and reddening, by fitting Padova isochrones to the color-magnitude diagram.

- Description:
- We show that the open cluster Trumpler 20, contrary to the earlier findings, is actually an old Galactic open cluster. New CCD photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy are used to derive the main parameters of this cluster. At [Fe/H]=-0.11 for a single red giant star, the metallicity is slightly subsolar. The best fit to the colour-magnitude diagrams is achieved using a 1.3-Gyr isochrone with convective overshoot. The cluster appears to have a significant reddening at E(B-V)=0.46 (for B0 spectral type), although for red giants this high reddening yields the colour temperature exceeding the spectroscopic Teff by about 200K. Trumpler 20 is a very rich open cluster, containing at least 700 members brighter than M_V_=+4. It may extend over the field of view available in our study at 20x20arcmin^2^.

- Description:
- We present a BVI photometric and astrometric catalogue of the open cluster NGC 3960, down to limiting magnitude V~22, obtained from observations taken with the Wide Field Imager camera at the MPG/ESO 2.2m Telescope at La Silla. The photometry of all the stars detected in our field of view has been used to estimate a map of the strong differential reddening affecting this area. Our results indicate that, within the region where the cluster dominates, the E(V-I) values range from 0.21 up to 0.78, with E(V-I)=0.36 (E(B-V)=0.29) at the nominal cluster centroid position; color excesses E(V-I) up to 1 mag have been measured in the external regions of the field of view where field stars dominate. The reddening-corrected color-magnitude diagram (CMD) allows us to conclude that the cluster has an age between 0.9 and 1.4Gyr and a distance modulus of (V-M_V)_0=11.35. Based on observations made with the European Southern Observatory telescopes obtained from the the ESO/ST-ECF Science Archive Facility.

- BVIJHK properties of Single Stellar Populations
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We describe a large grid of photometric properties of single stellar populations that focuses on the near infrared properties of intermediate age populations. The underlying model was presented in recent articles, where we compared its predictions with observations of properties of star clusters and of asymptotic giant branch populations of Local Group galaxies. The grid is made available in tabular form. We present the time evolution of optical and near-infrared broadband colours in the BVIJHK passbands, with ages ranging from 50Myr to 15Gyr, and for initial chemical compositions [Z=0.0004, Y=0.23], [Z=0.004, Y=0.24], [Z=0.008, Y=0.25], [Z=0.02, Y=0.28], and [Z= 0.05, Y=0.352]. The evolution of the stellar mass-to-light ratio in the V and K passbands is also provided. All the stellar models are followed from the zero age main sequence (ZAMS) to the central carbon ignition for massive stars, or to the end of the thermally pulsing regime of the asymptotic giant branch phase (TP-AGB) for low and intermediate mass stars.

- Description:
- The first gamma-ray burst (GRB) confirmed to be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, GRB 080319B at redshift z=0.937, allowed for exquisite follow-up observations across the electromagnetic spectrum. We present our detailed optical and infrared (IR) observations of the afterglow, consisting of over 5000 images starting 51s after the GRB trigger, in concert with our own analysis of the Swift UVOT, Burst Alert Telescope (BAT), and XRT data. The event is extreme not only in observed properties but also intrinsically: it was the most luminous event ever recorded at optical and IR wavelengths and had an exceedingly high isotropic-equivalent energy release in {gamma}-rays. At early times, the afterglow evolution is broadly consistent with being reverse-shock dominated, but then is subsumed by a forward shock at around 1000s. The overall spectral energy distribution, spanning from ultraviolet through near-IR wavelengths, shows no evidence for a significant amount of dust extinction in the host frame. The afterglow evolution, however, is highly chromatic: starting at about 1000s the index shifts blueward before shifting back to the red at late times. In our deepest late-time observations, we find tentative evidence for an optical jet break and a luminous supernova. Finally, we examine the detectability of such events with current and future facilities and find that such an event could be detected in gamma rays by BAT out to z=10.7 (8{sigma}), while the nominal EXIST sensitivity would allow detection to z~32. At the K band, this source would have been easily detected with meter-class telescopes to z~17.

- Description:
- A method for determining distances to dark clouds and Bok globules based on broad-band optical and near-infrared photometry is presented. In this method, intrinsic colour indices of stars projected towards the direction of a cloud are computed by dereddening the observed colour indices using various trial values of extinction A_V_ and a standard extinction law. The computed intrinsic colour indices for a star are then compared with the intrinsic colour indices of normal main-sequence stars and a spectral type is assigned to the star for which the computed colour indices best match the standard intrinsic colour indices. Distances (d) to the stars are determined using the A_V_ and absolute magnitudes (M_V_) corresponding to the spectral types thus obtained. A plot of A_V_ against d undergoes a sharp rise at a distance corresponding to the distance to the cloud. Using this method, we have determined a distance of 550pc to the cometary globule CG 12.

- Description:
- PSR J1306-40 is a millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary with a non-degenerate companion in an unusually long ~1.097 day orbit. We present new optical photometry and spectroscopy of this system, and model these data to constrain fundamental properties of the binary such as the component masses and distance. The optical data imply a minimum neutron star mass of 1.75+/-0.09M_{sun}_ (1{sigma}) and a high, nearly edge-on inclination. The light curves suggest a large hot spot on the companion, suggestive of a portion of the pulsar wind being channeled to the stellar surface by the magnetic field of the secondary, mediated via an intrabinary shock. The H{alpha} line profiles switch rapidly from emission to absorption near the companion inferior conjunction, consistent with an eclipse of the compact emission region at these phases. At our optically inferred distance of 4.7+/-0.5kpc, the X-ray luminosity is ~10^33^erg/s, brighter than nearly all known redbacks in the pulsar state. The long-period, subgiant-like secondary, and luminous X-ray emission suggest this system may be part of the expanding class of MSP binaries that are progenitors to typical field pulsar-white dwarf binaries.
