- Description:
- We present optical data obtained with the 1.05 m telescope of the Torino Astronomical Observatory for five X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects. The data are in the Johnson's B, V, and Cousins' R bands. As the observing periods include the pointings of the Satellite per Astronomia X ``Beppo'' (BeppoSAX), our optical information will be comparable with the X-ray observations for a better understanding of the properties of these objects. The present data also provide optical information on sources that have been rarely observed in the optical band. Variability on short time scales (a few days) was found only for 1ES 1959+650.

- Description:
- We present photometry of the brightest stars in six nearby spiral and irregular galaxies with corrected radial velocities from 340 to 460km/s. Three of them are resolved into stars for the first time. Based on luminosity of the brightest blue stars we estimate the following distances to the galaxies: 5.0Mpc for NGC 784, 9.2Mpc for NGC 2683, 8.9Mpc for NGC 2903, 4.1Mpc for NGC 5204, 6.8Mpc for NGC 5474, and 8.7Mpc for NGC 5585.

- Description:
- We present photometric observations of the field around the optical counterparts of high-mass X-ray binaries. Our aim is to study the long-term photometric variability in correlation with their X-ray activity and derive a set of secondary standard stars that can be used for time series analysis. We find that the donors in Be/X-ray binaries exhibit larger amplitude changes in the magnitudes and colours than those hosting a supergiant companion. The amplitude of variability increases with wavelength in Be/X-ray binaries and remains fairly constant in supergiant systems. When time scales of years are considered, a good correlation between the X-ray and optical variability is observed. The X-rays cease when optical brightness decreases. These results reflect the fact that the circumstellar disk in Be/X-ray binaries is the main source of both optical and X-ray variability. We also derive the colour excess, E(B-V), selecting data at times when the contribution of the circumstellar disk was supposed to be at minimum, and we revisit the distance estimates.

- BVRI photometry of HR 1105
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/333/952
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- BVRI photometry of the extrinsic S star HR 1105 shows a stable periodic light variability with a period of 24.76 days superimposed upon long term changes presumably related to the orbital period. The variations are in phase for all four magnitudes with the amplitude of this variability being about the same for B and V, but smaller for R and even smaller for I. As the primary is a M3 III star, these brightness changes are mostly likely due to the pulsation of the primary star.

- CDS
- Description:
- A release of multicolor broadband (BVRI) photometry for a subsample of 44 isolated spirals drawn from the Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies is presented. Total magnitudes and colors at various circular apertures, as well as some global structural/morphological parameters, are estimated. Morphology is reevaluated through optical and sharp-filtered R-band images, (B-I) color index maps, and archived near-IR JHK images from the Two Micron All Sky Survey. The CAS structural parameters (concentration, asymmetry, and clumpiness) were calculated from the images in each of the bands.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present visible (BVRI) photometric measurements of 27 Trans-Neptunian objects, obtained with the FORS2 instrument on the ESO/8m Very Large Telescope (Unit 2) from runs during September and November 2000. The objects display a broad and continuous range of colors from neutral-bluish to very red. Most of the objects also have a linear reflectivity spectrum over the VRI range. There is no evidence of a bimodal color distribution as has been previously reported by other groups. Several objects (1994 TB, 1995 SM_55_, 1998 UR_43_, 1999CF_119_ and 2000 OK_67_) show evidence of changing color, and should be investigated further. The object 1995 SM_55_ deserves a more complete study since its neutral-blue colors suggest it could be a good candidate for hosting cometary activity.

- Description:
- We present a CCD photometric and mass function study of nine young Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters, namely NGC 1767, 1994, 2002, 2003, 2006, SL 538, NGC 2011, 2098 and 2136. BVRI data, reaching down to V~21mag, were collected from the 3.5-m NTT/EFOSC2 in subarcsec seeing conditions. For NGC 1767, 1994, 2002, 2003, 2011 and 2136, broad-band photometric CCD data are presented for the first time.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the first four years of BVRI photometry from an on-going survey to annually monitor the photometric behavior of evolved luminous stars in M31 and M33. Photometry was measured for 199 stars at multiple epochs, including 9 classic Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs), 22 LBV candidates, 10 post-RGB A/F type hypergiants, and 18 B[e] supergiants. At all epochs, the brightness is measured in the V-band and at least one other band to a precision of 0.04-0.10 mag down to a limiting magnitude of 19.0-19.5. Thirty three stars in our survey exhibit significant variability, including at least two classic LBVs caught in S Doradus-type outbursts.

- Description:
- In this paper we present the results of a detailed B, V, R, I, and H{alpha} study of the isolated nearby blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy NGC 6789. The observed galaxy has not yet been resolved into stars up to now. On CCD frames obtained with 6m BTA telescope and 2.5m Nordic telescope the galaxy is well resolved. Its colour-magnitude diagram confirms the two component (core-halo) galaxy morphology, which consists of two stellar populations distinct in structure and colour: an inner high surface-brightness young population within 150pc from the center of the galaxy, and a relatively low surface-brightness intermediate-age population extending out to at least 600pc. The distance to the galaxy, estimated from the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is 2.1Mpc which places NGC 6789 close to the Local Group. From the mean colour of the RGB, the mean metal abundance of the halo population is estimated as [Fe/H]=~-1dex.

- Description:
- The pre-main-sequence (PMS) population in the mass range between =~0.2 and =~3M_{sun}_ in southern part of the star-forming region NGC 2264 has been studied, determining both the Initial Mass Function in the region as well as the star-formation rates for different mass ranges. The sample is a composite one, derived through the union of samples obtained through different techniques and each suffering from different biases: previously known PMS stars in the region from the literature, photometrically-selected T Tauri candidates (from our own photometric data, discussed in detail in the present paper) and X-ray selected PMS candidates (discussed in detail in a companion paper) have been joined to form a sample which we show to be statistically complete (i.e. free from the biases which affect each of the parent samples) down to =~0.6M_{sun}_ (while being incomplete at lower masses). Individual masses and ages have been derived by placing the individual stars on evolutionary tracks, allowing us to derive both the IMF and the star formation rate. The Initial Mass Function thus derived for NGC 2264 shows evidence for a bimodal distribution of masses, with a break in the IMF at around 1M_{sun}_.
