- Description:
- We present V magnitudes, (B-V) and (U-B) colours of close visual double star components, and their differences as well as separations and position angles of 40 visual double stars. The common properties of the members of this sample are the small angular separation {rho}, which is less than 7", and the common spectral type of the primaries, which are of G-type. The observations made with the Bessel U, B and V filters, while the astrometry was performed in the V filter only. For the observations, the CCD camera attached to the Cassegrain focus of the 90 cm Dutch telescope, at La Silla, Chile, had been used. From the analysis of the data we concluded that from the sample of the fourty double stars observed seven proved to be physical pairs, while the rest must have common origin components.

- Description:
- The h and chi Per "double cluster" is examined using wide-field (0.98x0.98{deg}) CCD UBV imaging supplemented by optical spectra of several hundred of the brightest stars. The UBV photometry was obtained from observations with the 0.9m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory using the Mosaic CCD camera (0.43arcsec/pix) on 1999 February 3. Conditions were photometric with a seeing about 1.3arcsec. The Mosaic camera consists of eight individual SITe 2048x4096 CCD chips arranged in two rows of four to produce a final image equivalent to 8192x8192 pixels (098x098{deg}) but with modest (35-50pix) gaps. Our imaging data set contains short (0.5s in V and B and 2s in U), medium (2s in V and B and 10s in U), and long (100s in V and B and 300s in U) integrations, each consisting of five dithered exposures that were combined to fill in gaps between the eight chips. Analyzing the data near the cluster nuclei results in identical reddenings E(B-V) (0.56+/-0.01), distance moduli (11.85+/-0.05), and ages (12.8+/-1.0Myr) for the two clusters. In addition, the initial mass function slope for each of the cluster nuclei is found to be quite normal for high-mass stars ({Gamma}=-1.3+/-0.2), indistinguishable from a Salpeter value. The masses of the two clusters are found to be 3700M_{sun}_ and 2800M_{sun}_ for h and {chi} when integrating the present-day mass function from 1 to 120M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- CCD UBV photometry of 2279 stars in Sextans A is presented. Differences with the photometric scales of Sandage and Carlson (1985AJ.....90.1019S) and Hoessel et al. (1983ApJ...274..577H) are discussed; recalibration of the Sandage and Carlson data for Cepheids in Sextans A results in a smaller value for the distance modulus, {mu}=25.6. A similar value for the distance modulus is obtained from the colour-colour diagram. Colour-colour and colour-magnitude diagrams for the whole galaxy and for different parts are presented indicating a general star formation activity all over Sextans A. The contribution of stars brighter than M_pg_=-3 to the total blue light of the galaxy amounts to 25%, a much higher value than what is found for other dwarf irregular galaxies in the Local Group. The integrated birthrate per unit mass of massive stars for the galaxy is found to be much higher than in the Magellanic Clouds, suggesting that the rate in Sextans A was probably smaller in the past. Different slopes for high mass and low mass IMF parts are needed to account for its low surface brightness. The formation of massive stars seems to be favoured for systems of decreasing mass or, given the relation between total mass and metal content, for galaxies of decreasing metallicity.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present UBVRI and H{alpha} photometry of the extremely compact, starburst cluster NGC 3603. Ground-based images, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archival data, as well as Chandra X-ray data have been used for this study. We present, for the first time, optical color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) for the stars in the cluster core down to V=22mag. A well-defined main sequence (MS) as well as low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars can clearly be seen in the CMDs. This result confirms the finding by Eisenhauer et al. (1998ApJ...498..278E) that low-mass stars are forming in the starburst cluster. We also derive an age (1+/-1Myr) and distance of the cluster (V_0_-M_V_=14.2+/-0.2mag, i.e., d=6.9+/-0.6kpc).

- Description:
- The table photom.dat contains the first multicolour (UVBRI) CCD photometry of 4899 stars in a 4'x7' field of the poorly studied globular cluster M80. The observations were acquired on 1994 June 13-16 using the 2.5m telescope of the Las Campanas Observatory, with a 2x1024x1024 pixel CCD. Two observing 4'x4' fields were observed, the first one at the cluster center, and the second one centered at approximately 3' to the East of the cluster center. The limiting magnitude was deeper in the the second frame by approximately DV=2.5mag. The exposures were 8 to 500s, with a total of 7 frames in U, 17 frames in B, 20 frames in V, and 18 frames in I.

- Description:
- CCD observations in the U, B, V, R and I passbands have been used to generate colour-colour and deep colour-magnitude diagrams for the young open star clusters NGC 3228, NGC 4103, NGC 5662 and NGC 6087. The sample consists of about 2000 stars reaching down to V=20mag. The interstellar extinction across the face of the imaged cluster regions seems to be uniform with average values of E(B-V)=0.31, 0.34 and 0.22mag for NGC 4103, NGC 5662 and NGC 6087 respectively. The distances to the clusters NGC 3228, NGC 4103, NGC 5662 and NGC 6087 have been estimated as 0.5+/-0.05, 2.0+/-0.3, 0.8+/-0.1 and 1.0+/-0.1kpc respectively, while the corresponding ages estimated from the theoretical stellar evolutionary isochrones fitted to the bright proper motion cluster members are ~100, 30, 80 and 65Myr respectively. Present data are consistent with the membership of the Cepheid variable V Cen to NGC 5662 and of S Norm to NGC 6087. Heavy contamination by foreground and background field stars has unfortunately made it impossible to reach definite conclusions about the faint luminosity function, and the data do not reach faint enough limits to investigate pre-main sequence stars.

- Description:
- CCD photometric observations of three open clusters Berkeley 15 (= OCl 414), Czernik 18 (= OCl 426) and NGC 2401 (= OCl 588), obtained for the first time in UBVRI filters down to V=20mag, are presented here. They are located at distances of 1259, 955 and 3467 parsecs with their respective ages estimated as ~5x10^9^years, ~0.8 to 1x10^9^years and ~1x10^9^years. While OCl 414 and OCl 426 are in the direction of the Auriga - Perseus constellations, OCl 588 is placed in the direction of Ophiuchus constellation in our Galaxy. The clusters studied here are of intermediate and old age category.

- Description:
- We present photometry for an unprecedented database of some 5.5million stars distributed throughout the Large Magellanic Cloud main body, from 21 fields covering a total area of 7.6deg^2^, obtained from Washington CT_1_T_2_ CTIO 4m MOSAIC data. Extensive artificial star tests over the whole mosaic image data set and the observed behavior of the photometric errors with magnitude demonstrate the accuracy of the morphology and clearly delineate the position of the main features in the color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). The representative T_1_(MS TO) mags are on average ~0.5mag brighter than the T_1_ mags for the 100% completeness level of the respective field, allowing us to derive an accurate age estimate. We have analyzed the CMD Hess diagrams and used the peaks in star counts at the main sequence turnoff and red clump (RC) locations to age date the most dominant sub-population (or "representative" population) in the stellar population mix. The metallicity of this representative population is estimated from the locus of the most populous red giant branch track. We use these results to derive age and metallicity estimates for all of our fields. The analyzed fields span age and metallicity ranges covering most of the galaxy's lifetime and chemical enrichment, i.e., ages and metallicities between ~1 and 13Gyr and ~-0.2 and -1.2dex, respectively. We show that the dispersions associated with the mean ages and metallicities represent in general a satisfactory estimate of the age/metallicity spread (~1-3 Gyr/0.2-0.3 dex), although a few subfields have a slightly larger age/metallicity spread. Finally, we revisit the study of the vertical structure (VS) phenomenon, a striking feature composed of stars that extend from the bottom, bluest end of the RC to ~0.45mag fainter. We confirm that the VS phenomenon is not clearly seen in most of the studied fields and suggest that its occurrence is linked to some other condition(s) in addition to the appropriate age, metallicity, and the necessary red giant star density.
