- Description:
- The U.S. Naval Observatory is in the process of making new reductions of the Astrographic Catalogue (AC) using a modern reference system, the ACRS, which represents the system of the FK5. The data from the Vatican Zone, whose plates are centered between declinations +55 and +64 degrees (eq. 1900), have been analyzed for scale, rotation, tilt, coma, magnitude equation, radial distortion and distortions introduced by the use of reseaux in the Carte du Ciel program. The result is a positional catalog of over 256,000 stars on eq. J2000.0, epoch of observation. Additionally, all stars have been matched with the Tycho Input Catalog (revised); those numbers have been added for additional identification purposes.

- V-band, 5100{AA} and broad emission LCs of Mrk 79

- Description:
- We developed a spectroscopic monitoring project to investigate the kinematics of the broad-line region (BLR) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with ultrafast outflows (UFOs). Mrk 79 is a radio-quiet AGN with UFOs and warm absorbers and has been monitored by three reverberation mapping (RM) campaigns, but its BLR kinematics are not yet understood. In this paper, we report the results from a new RM campaign of Mrk 79, which was undertaken with the Lijiang 2.4m telescope. Mrk 79 appears to come out the faint state, with the mean flux approximately a magnitude fainter than the historical record. We successfully measured the lags of the broad emission lines including H{beta}{lambda}4861, H{gamma}{lambda}4340, HeII{lambda}4686, and HeI{lambda}5876 with respect to the varying AGN continuum. Based on the broad H{beta}{lambda}4861 line, we measured a black hole mass of M_{bullet}_=5.13_-1.55_^+1.57^x10^7^M_{sun}_, and an estimated accretion rate of dM/dt_{bullet}_=(0.05+/-0.02)L_Edd_c^-2^, indicating that Mrk 79 is a sub-Eddington accretor. We found that Mrk 79 deviates from the canonical Radius-Luminosity relationship. The marginal blueshift of the broad HeII{lambda}4686 line detected from the rms spectrum indicates outflow of high- ionization gas. The velocity-resolved lag profiles of the broad H{gamma}{lambda}4340, H{beta}{lambda}4861, and HeI{lambda}5876 lines show similar signatures such that the largest lag occurs in the red wing of the lines and then the lag decreases to both sides. These signatures may suggest that the BLR of Keplerian motion probably exists as outflow gas motion. All findings including UFOs, warm absorbers, and the kinematics of high- and low-ionization BLR, may provide indirect evidence that the BLR of Mrk 79 probably originates from a disk wind.

- V-band light curve & RVs of the Cepheid V473Lyr
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/159/121
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- V473Lyr is a classical Cepheid that is unique in having substantial amplitude variations with a period of approximately 3.3yr, thought to be similar to the Blazhko variations in RR Lyrae stars. We obtained an X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM)-Newton observation of this star to follow up a previous detection in X-rays. Rather than the X-ray burst and rapid decline near maximum radius seen in {delta}Cephei itself, the X-ray flux in V473Lyr remained constant for a third of the pulsation cycle covered by the observation. Thus the X-rays are probably not produced by the changes around the pulsation cycle. The X-ray spectrum is soft (kT=0.6keV), with X-ray properties consistent with a young low-mass companion. Previously there was no evidence of a companion in radial velocities or in Gaia and Hipparcos proper motions. While this rules out companions that are very close or very distant, a binary companion at a separation between 30 and 300au is possible. This is an example of an X-ray observation revealing evidence of a low-mass companion, which is important in completing the mass ratio statistics of binary Cepheids. Furthermore, the detection of a young X-ray bright companion is a further indication that the Cepheid (primary) is a Population I star, even though its pulsation behavior differs from other classical Cepheids.

- V-band photometric follow-up of RR Lyrae from SEKBO
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We investigate the steepening of the power-law slope beyond the Galactocentric radius of R~45kpc in the RR Lyrae (RRL) space density distribution found by Keller et al. (2008, Cat. J/ApJ/678/851). They identified 2016 RRL candidates derived from the analysis of archival observations of the Southern Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt Object (SEKBO) survey. Our aim is to verify the completeness of RRLs and ultimately the space density distribution function given by Keller et al. We followed up on a subset of 137 candidates with a range of magnitudes (V~14-20) using the Faulkes Telescope (FT) database and confirmed 57 candidates as real RRLs. A cross-match between SEKBO RRL survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release-7 (SDSS DR-7) revealed 272 RRL candidates in common. Applying the color selection criteria proposed by Ivezi\'c et al. (2005AJ....129.1096I) resulted in 193 likely RRLs. The completeness as a function of magnitude was calculated empirically from the combined set of SEKBO RRL candidates from current FT data, SDSS cross-matched data, and the Prior et al. catalog (2009, Cat. J/ApJ/691/306). This resulted in a spatial density distribution characterized by two power laws with a break radius R within a range between 45kpc and 50kpc, similar to the results of Keller et al. We find the power-law slopes for the inner halo as n_inner_=-2.78+/-0.02 and for the outer halo as n_outer_=-5.0+/-0.2.

- Description:
- We report spectroscopic and differential photometric observations of the A-type system V482 Per, which reveal it to be a rare hierarchical quadruple system containing two eclipsing binaries. One binary has the previously known orbital period of 2.4 days and a circular orbit, and the other a period of 6 days, a slightly eccentric orbit (e=0.11), and shallow eclipses only 2.3% deep. The two binaries revolve around their common center of mass in a highly elongated orbit (e=0.85) with a period of 16.67yr. Radial velocities are measured for all components from our quadruple-lined spectra and are combined with the light curves and measurements of times of minimum light for the 2.4 day binary to solve for the elements of the inner and outer orbits simultaneously. The line-of-sight inclination angles of the three orbits are similar, suggesting they may be close to coplanar. The available observations appear to indicate that the 6 day binary experiences significant retrograde apsidal motion in the amount of about 60 deg per century. We derive absolute masses for the four stars good to better than 1.5%, along with radii with formal errors of 1.1% and 3.5% for the 2.4 day binary and ~9% for the 6 day binary. A comparison of these and other physical properties with current stellar evolution models gives excellent agreement for a metallicity of [Fe/H]=-0.15 and an age of 360Myr.

- VB differential photometry of WR30a
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present new photometric observations in Johnson V and B of WR30a, revealing relative dramatic changes in brightness of 0.2mag. These variations occur on a time scale of hours, and are only seen in V. We argue that they are not caused by dust extinction, but either by a dramatic change in the strength of the C IV 5801-12{AA} emission line doublet due to a de-excitation process, or by some unknown continuum effect.
