- Description:
- New spectroscopic and photometric observations of HD 144110 have been used to obtain an improved orbital element solution and determine some basic properties of the system. This chromospherically active, double-lined spectroscopic binary has an orbital period of 1.6714012days and a circular orbit. We classify the components as G5 V and K0 V and suggest that they are slightly metal-rich. The photometric observations indicate that the rotation of HD 144110 is synchronous with the orbital period. Despite the short orbital period, no evidence of eclipses is seen in our photometry.

- Description:
- BV CCD frames have been used to derive surface brightness profiles for NGC 3201 which extend out to ~18'. A total of 857 radial velocities with median precision ~1km/s for 399 member giants have been used to trace the velocity dispersion profile out to 32.1' (the approximate tidal radius determined from fits of single-mass, isotropic King-Michie models to the cluster surface brightness profiles). The median difference in radial velocity for stars on either side of an imaginary axis stepped through the cluster in 1 deg increments shows a statistically significant maximum amplitude of 1.22+/-0.25km/s. We discuss several possible explanations of this result, including (1) cluster rotation, (2) preferential stripping of stars on prograde orbits near the limiting radius, (3) the projection of the cluster space velocity onto the plane of the sky, and (4) a slight drift in the velocity zero point. It is difficult to unambiguously identify the primary cause of the observed structure in the velocity field, however, and we suspect that all of the above processes may play a role. The BV surface brightness profiles and radial velocities have been modeled with both single- and multimass King-Michie models and nonparametric techniques. The corresponding density profiles and M/L profiles show good agreement over the interval 1.5<~R<~10pc, and both approaches suggest a steady rise in M/L with distance from the cluster center. Due to the low cluster luminosity we are unable to place useful constraints on the anisotropy of M/L_B~M/L_V~2.0+/-0.2 for the multimass and nonparametric models, compared to ~1.65+/-0.15 for models having equal-mass stars. Our best-fit, multimass models have mass function slopes of x~0.75+/-0.25, consistent with recent findings that the form of the mass function depends on the position relative to the potential of the Galaxy.

- Description:
- We present radial velocity measurements for globular clusters in M60, a giant elliptical galaxy in the Virgo Cluster. Target globular cluster candidates were selected using Washington photometry based on deep 16'x16' images taken at the KPNO 4m telescope and using VI photometry derived from Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 archival images. The spectra of the target objects were obtained with the Multi-Object Spectrograph at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. We have measured the radial velocities of 111 objects in the field of M60: 93 globular clusters (72 blue globular clusters with 1.0<=C-T1<1.7, and 21 red globular clusters with 1.7<=C-T1<2.4), 11 foreground stars, six small galaxies, and the nucleus of M60.

- Description:
- We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy and Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope/MegaCam photometry for the Milky Way globular cluster Palomar 13. We triple the number of spectroscopically confirmed members, including many repeat velocity measurements. Palomar 13 is the only known globular cluster with possible evidence for dark matter, based on a Keck/High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer 21 star velocity dispersion of {sigma}=2.2+/-0.4km/s. We reproduce this measurement, but demonstrate that it is inflated by unresolved binary stars. For our sample of 61 stars, the velocity dispersion is {sigma}=0.7^+0.6^_-0.5_km/s. Combining our DEIMOS data with literature values, our final velocity dispersion is {sigma}=0.4^+0.4^_-0.3_km/s. We determine a spectroscopic metallicity of [Fe/H]=-1.6+/-0.1 dex, placing a 1{sigma} upper limit of {sigma}_[Fe/H]_~0.2dex on any internal metallicity spread. We determine Palomar 13's total luminosity to be M_V_=-2.8+/-0.4, making it among the least luminous known globular clusters.

- Description:
- High-precision, high-cadence radial velocity monitoring over the past 8yr at the W. M. Keck Observatory reveals evidence for a third planet orbiting the nearby (4.69pc) dM4 star GJ 876. The residuals of three-body Newtonian fits, which include GJ 876 and Jupiter-mass companions b and c, show significant power at a periodicity of 1.9379days. Self-consistently fitting the radial velocity data with a model that includes an additional body with this period significantly improves the quality of the fit.

- Description:
- The transit signature of exoplanets provides an avenue through which characterization of exoplanetary properties may be undertaken, such as studies of mean density, structure, and atmospheric composition. The Transit Ephemeris Refinement and Monitoring Survey is a program to expand the catalog of transiting planets around bright host stars by refining the orbits of known planets discovered with the radial velocity technique. Here we present results for the HD 38529 system. We determine fundamental properties of the host star through direct interferometric measurements of the radius and through spectroscopic analysis. We provide new radial velocity measurements that are used to improve the Keplerian solution for the two known planets, and we find no evidence for a previously postulated third planet. We also present 12 years of precision robotic photometry of HD 38529 that demonstrate the inner planet does not transit and the host star exhibits cyclic variations in seasonal mean brightness with a timescale of approximately six years.

- Description:
- We report the first results from a search for transiting warm Jupiter exoplanets-gas giant planets receiving stellar irradiation below about 10^8^ erg/s/cm^2^, equivalent to orbital periods beyond about 10 days around Sun-like stars. We have discovered two transiting warm Jupiter exoplanets initially identified as transiting candidates in K2 photometry. K2-114b has a mass of 1.85_-0.22_^+0.23^ M_J_, a radius of 0.942_-0.020_^+0.032^ R_J_, and an orbital period of 11.4 days. K2-115b has a mass of 0.84_-0.20_^+0.18^ M_J_, a radius of 1.115_-0.061_^+0.057^ R_J_, and an orbital period of 20.3 days. Both planets are among the longest-period transiting gas giant planets with a measured mass, and they are orbiting relatively old host stars. Both planets are not inflated, as their radii are consistent with theoretical expectations. Their position in the planet radius-stellar irradiation diagram is consistent with the scenario where the radius-irradiation correlation levels off below about 10^8^ erg/s/cm^2^, suggesting that for warm Jupiters stellar irradiation does not play a significant role in determining the planet radius. We also report our identification of another K2 transiting warm Jupiter candidate, EPIC 212504617, as a false positive.

- Description:
- We analyse the dynamical state of Abell 1914, a merging cluster hosting a radio halo, quite unusual for its structure. Our study considers spectroscopic data for 119 galaxies obtained with the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. We select 89 cluster members from spatial and velocity distributions. We also use photometry Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope archives. We compute the mean cluster redshift, <z>=0.168, and the velocity dispersion which shows a high value, {sigma}V=1210^+125^_-110_km/s. From the 2D analysis we find that Abell 1914 has a north-east (NE)-south-west (SW) elongated structure with two galaxy clumps, that mostly merge in the plane of the sky. Our best but very uncertain estimate of the velocity dispersion of the main system is {sigma}V, main ~1000km/s. We estimate a virial mass M_sys_=1.4-2.6x10^15^h^-1^_70_M_{sun}_ for the whole system. We study the merger through a simple two-body model and find that data are consistent with a bound, outgoing substructure observed just after the core crossing. By studying the 2D distribution of the red galaxies, photometrically selected, we show that Abell 1914 is contained in a rich large-scale structure, with two close companion galaxy systems, known to be at z~0.17. The system at SW supports the idea that the cluster is accreting groups from a filament aligned in the NE-SW direction, while that at NW suggests a second direction of the accretion (NW-SE). We conclude that Abell 1914 well fits among typical clusters with radio haloes. We argue that the unusual radio emission is connected to the complex cluster accretion and suggest that Abell 1914 resembles the well-known nearby merging cluster Abell 754 for its particular observed phenomenology.

- Description:
- We present the result of a spectroscopic survey performed in the outskirts of the globular cluster NGC1851 with Visible MultiObject Spectrograph (VIMOS)/Very Large Telescope (VLT) with the medium-resolution grism coupled with the GG475 filter. The spectral coverage is from 5000 to 8000{AA} with a resolution R~580. Target stars have been selected from the photometry of Carballo-Bello et al. (2012MNRAS.419...14C), sampling a wide range in magnitude and colour (16<B<22, 0.6<B-R<2.1). We report the radial velocities of 107 stars in a region between 12 and 33 arcmin around the cluster centre. Observations have been performed during three nights in 2008 October at the Very Large Telescope's (VLT) Unit Telescope 3 (Melipal) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO), Cerro Paranal, Chile, equipped with the VIsible MultiObject Spectrograph (VIMOS). Velocities have been obtained by cross-correlating the spectra of the individual exposures with a GIRAFFE solar spectrum smoothed to the resolution of our targets using the region of the H-alpha line. Typical errors are of about 15km/s.

- Description:
- The multi-object fiber-fed spectrograph AAOmega at the Anglo-Australian Telescope has been used to establish and measure accurate (<=1km/s) radial velocities for a new sample of members in the outer parts of the stellar system {omega} Centauri. The new sample more than doubles the number of known members with precise velocities that lie between 25' and 45' from the cluster center. Combining this sample with earlier work confirms that the line-of-sight velocity dispersion of {omega} Cen remains approximately constant at ~6.5km/s in the outer parts of the cluster, which contain only a small fraction of the total cluster stellar mass. It is argued that the approximately constant velocity dispersion in the outer regions is most likely a consequence of external influences, such as the tidal shock heating that occurs each time {omega} Cen crosses the Galactic plane. There is therefore no requirement to invoke dark matter or non-standard gravitational theories.
