- Description:
- We present initial results from a time series BVI survey of two fields in NGC 4258 using the HST ACS. This galaxy was selected because of its accurate maser-based distance, which is anticipated to have a total uncertainty of 3%. The goal of the HST observations is to provide an absolute calibration of the Cepheid distance scale and to measure its dependence on chemical abundance (the so-called metallicity effect). We carried out observations of two fields at different galactocentric distances with a mean abundance difference of 0.5dex. We discovered a total of 281 Cepheids with periods ranging from 4 to 45 days (the duration of our observing window).

- Description:
- We present an analysis of the globular cluster (GC) population of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4261 based on Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 data in the B, V and I bands. We study the spatial distribution of the GCs in order to probe the anisotropy in the azimuthal distribution of the discrete X-ray sources in the galaxy revealed by Chandra images.

- Description:
- We present the Catalog of Cepheids from the LMC. The Catalog contains 1333 objects detected in the 4.5 square degree area of central parts of the LMC. About 3.4*10^5^ BVI measurements of these stars were collected during the OGLE-II microlensing survey. The Catalog data include period, BVI photometry, astrometry, and R_21_, phi_21_ parameters of the Fourier decomposition of I-band light curve. The vast majority of objects from the Catalog are the classical Cepheids pulsating in the fundamental or first overtone mode. The remaining objects include Population II Cepheids and red giants with pulsation-like light curves. Tests of completeness performed in overlapping parts of adjacent fields indicate that completeness of the Catalog is very high: >96%. Statistics and distributions of basic parameters of Cepheids are also presented. Finally, we show the light curves of three eclipsing systems containing Cepheid detected among objects of the Catalog. All presented data, including individual BVI observations are available from the OGLE Internet archive at URL: ftp://sirius.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle/ogle2/var_stars/lmc/cep/catalog/

- Description:
- We present the Catalog of Cepheids from the SMC which contains data for 2049 objects detected in the 2.4 square degree area of central parts of the SMC. For each object period, BVI photometry, astrometry, and R_21_, {phi}_21_ parameters of the Fourier decomposition of I-band light curve are provided. The Catalog is based on observations collected during the OGLE-II microlensing survey. Tests of completeness performed in overlapping parts of adjacent fields indicate that completeness of the Catalog is very high: approx 92%. Statistics and distributions of basic parameters of Cepheids are also presented. All presented data, including individual BVI observations (approx 4.7*10^5^ BVI measurements), are available from the OGLE Internet archive at URL: ftp://sirius.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle/ogle2/var_stars/smc/cep/catalog

- Description:
- We present the catalog of 1459 eclipsing binary stars detected in the central 2.4 square degree area of the Small Magellanic Cloud during the OGLE-II microlensing search. The sample includes objects brighter than I~20mag with periods ranging from about 0.3 to 250 days. The average completeness of the catalog is about 80%. Statistics of the entire sample and well detached systems, suitable for distance determination, are also presented.

- BVI photometry of 8 open clusters

- Description:
- CCD BVI photometry is presented for eight previously unstudied star clusters located in the first and fourth Galactic quadrants: AL 1, BH 150, NGC 5764, Lynga 9, Czernik 37, BH 261, Berkeley 80 and King 25. Colour-magnitude diagrams of the cluster regions suggest that several of them (BH 150, Lynga 9, Czernik 37, BH 261 and King 25) are so embedded in the dense stellar population toward the galactic centre that their properties, or even their existence as physical systems, cannot be confirmed. Lynga 9, BH 261 and King 25 appear to be slight enhancements of dense star fields, BH 150 is probably just a single bright star in a dense field and Czernik 37 may be a sparse, but real cluster superimposed on the galactic bulge population. We derive preliminary estimates of the physical parameters for the remaining clusters. AL 1 appears to be an intermediate-age cluster beyond the solar circle on the far side of the galaxy and the final two clusters, NGC 5764 and Berkeley 80, are also of intermediate age but located inside the solar ring. This set of clusters highlights the difficulties inherent in studying the stellar populations toward the inner regions of the galaxy.

- BVI photometry of 4 open clusters

- Description:
- CCD observations in the B, V and I passbands have been used to generate colour-magnitude diagrams reaching down to V~19mag for two slightly characterized (Melotte 105 and Hogg 15) and two almost unstudied (Pismis 21 and Ruprecht 140) open clusters. The sample consists of about 1300 stars observed in fields of about 4'x4'. Our analysis shows that neither Pismis 21 nor Ruprecht 140 are genuine open clusters since no clear main sequences or other meaningful features can be seen in their colour-magnitude diagrams. Melotte 105 and Hogg 15 are open clusters affected by E(B-V)=0.42+/-0.03 and 0.95+/-0.05, respectively. Their distances to the Sun have been estimated as 2.2+/-0.3 and 2.6+/-0.08kpc, respectively, while the corresponding ages estimated from empirical isochrones fitted to the Main Sequence cluster members are ~350Myr and 300Myr, respectively. The present data are not consistent with the membership of the WN6 star HDE 311884 to Hogg 15.

- BVI photometry of 350 Pleiades stars
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present new BVI_C_ photometry for 350 Pleiades proper motion members with 9<V<~17. Importantly, our new catalog includes a large number of K- and early M-type stars, roughly doubling the number of low-mass stars with well-calibrated Johnson/Cousins photometry in this benchmark cluster. We combine our new photometry with existing photometry from the literature to define a purely empirical isochrone at Pleiades age ({approx}100Myr) extending from V=9 to 17. We use the empirical isochrone to identify 48 new probable binaries and 14 likely nonmembers. The photometrically identified single stars are compared against their expected positions in the color-magnitude diagram (CMD). At 100Myr, the mid K and early M stars are predicted to lie above the zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) having not yet reached the ZAMS. We find in the B-V versus V CMD that mid K and early M dwarfs are instead displaced below (or blueward of) the ZAMS. Using the stars' previously reported rotation periods, we find a highly statistically significant correlation between rotation period and CMD displacement, in the sense that the more rapidly rotating stars have the largest displacements in the B-V CMD.
