- Description:
- Accurate and homogeneous atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg, Vt, [Fe/H]) are derived for 74 FGK non-variable supergiants from high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, echelle spectra. Extremely high precision for the inferred effective temperatures (10-40K) is achieved by using the line-depth ratio method. The new data are combined with atmospheric values for 164 classical Cepheids, observed at 675 different pulsation phases, taken from our previously published studies.

- Description:
- We have analyzed two epochs of Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 observations of the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy using the HSTphot photometric reduction package. We report the detection of nine faint (M_V_>~0.0mag) red giant variable stars that exhibit low-amplitude brightness fluctuations on 10 minute timescales with amplitudes ranging from 36 to 130mmag.

- Description:
- From previous samples of red supergiants (RSGs) by various groups, 191 objects are assembled to compose a large sample of RSG candidates in LMC. For 189 of them, the identity as an RSG is verified by their brightness and color indexes in several near- and mid-infrared bands related to the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) JHKs bands and the Spitzer/IRAC and Spitzer/MIPS bands. From the visual time-series photometric observations by the ASAS and MACHO projects which cover nearly 8-10 years, the period and amplitude of light variation are analyzed carefully using both the phase dispersion minimization and Period04 (Lenz, 2004CoAst.144...41L) methods.

- Description:
- The characteristics of infrared properties and mid-infrared (MIR) variability of red supergiant (RSG) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are analyzed based on 12 bands of near-infrared (NIR) to MIR co-added data from 2MASS, Spitzer and WISE, and ~6.6 years of MIR time-series data collected by the ALLWISE and NEOWISE-R projects. 773 RSGs candidates are compiled from the literature and verified by using the color-magnitude diagram (CMD), spectral energy distribution (SED) and MIR variability. About 15% of valid targets in the IRAC1-IRAC2/IRAC2-IRAC3 diagram may show Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) emission. We show that arbitrary dereddening Q parameters related to the IRAC4, S9W, WISE3, WISE4 and MIPS24 bands could be constructed based on a precise measurement of MIR interstellar extinction law. Several peculiar outliers in our sample are discussed, in which one outlier might be a RSG right before the explosion or an extreme asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star in the very late evolutionary stage based on the MIR spectrum and photometry. There are 744 identified RSGs in the final sample having both the WISE1- and WISE2-band time-series data. The results show that the MIR variability is increasing along with the increasing of brightness. There is a relatively tight correlation between the MIR variability, mass loss rate (MLR; in terms of K_S-WISE3 color) and the warm dust/continuum (in terms of WISE4 magnitude/flux), where the MIR variability is evident for the targets with K_S-WISE3>1.0mag and WISE4<6.5mag, while the rest of the targets show much smaller MIR variability. The MIR variability is also correlated with the MLR for which targets with larger variability also show larger MLR with an approximate upper limit of -6.1M_{sun}_/yr. The variability and luminosity may both be important for the MLR since the WISE4-band flux is increasing exponentially along with the degeneracy of luminosity and variability. The identified RSG sample has been compared with the theoretical evolutionary models and shown that the discrepancy between observation and evolutionary models can be mitigated by considering both variability and extinction.

- Description:
- The characteristics of light variation of red supergiant (RSG) stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are analyzed based on the nearly 8-10 year data collected by the ASAS and MACHO projects. The 126 identified RSGs are classified into five categories accordingly: 20 with poor photometry, 55 with no reliable period, 6 with semi-regular variation, 15 with a long secondary period (LSP) and distinguishable short period, and 30 with only an LSP. For the semi-regular variables and the LSP variables with distinguishable short period, the K_S_-band period-luminosity (P-L) relation is analyzed and compared with that of the Galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and M33. It is found that the RSGs in these galaxies obey a similar P-L relation except for those in the Galaxy. In addition, the P-L relations in the infrared bands, namely, the 2MASS JHK_S_, Spitzer/IRAC, and Spitzer/MIPS 24 {mu}m bands, are derived with high reliability. The best P-L relation occurs in the Spitzer/IRAC [3.6] and [4.5] bands. Based on the comparison with the theoretical calculation of the P-L relation, the mode of pulsation of RSGs in the SMC is suggested to be the first-overtone radial mode.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of 8678 slowly varying stars with near-infrared colors corresponding to the evolved asymptotic giant branch population. Objects were selected from the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS, Wozniak et al., 2004AJ....127.2436W) covering the entire sky above declination {delta}=-38{deg} in a single unfiltered photometric band corresponding to a V-band magnitude range of ~8-15.5mag.

- Description:
- As part of a photometric study of the obscured globular cluster NGC 6749, Rosino et al. (1997, Cat. <J/MNRAS/289/745>) include a list of seventy-eight new red variables within 1{deg} of the cluster. Although two of the stars lie near the cluster, probably none of them is related to it. Perhaps because the stars' positions were given to only 0.1' precision, none of the stars has yet received a GCVS designation.

- Description:
- Candidate variable stars in the publicly available data of the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) were identified by data mining the 2MASS survey for entries that matched the following criteria: DE>20.000,(J-K)>1.2, and Jmag<7.000. A total of 1233 such stars were identified: 1 type M, 64 type M:, 26 type SR:, and 1142 type L:, with amplitudes between 0.3 magnitude and 3.4 magnitudes. Only stars not listed in the International Variable Star Index (VSX) at the time of submission or not identified as variable in Simbad have been included.

- Description:
- A search for RR Lyrae stars (RRLSs) in ~840deg^2^ of the sky in right ascension 150{deg}-210{deg} and declination -10{deg} to + 10{deg} yielded 1013 type ab and 359 type c RRLS. This sample is used to study the density profile of the Galactic halo, halo substructures, and the Oosterhoff type of the halo over distances (d_{sun}_) from ~5 to ~80kpc. The halo is flattened toward the Galactic plane, and its density profile steepens in slope at galactocentric distances greater than ~25kpc. The RRLS in the stellar stream from the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy match well the model of Law & Majewski for the stars that were stripped 1.3-3.2Gyr ago, but not for the ones stripped 3.2-5.0Gyr ago. Over densities are found at the locations of the Virgo Overdensity and the Virgo Stellar Stream. Within 1{deg} of 1220-1, which Jerjen et al. identify as a halo substructure at d_{sun}_~24kpc, there are four RRLS that are possibly members. Away from substructures, the RRLS are a mixture of Oosterhoff types I and II, but mostly OoI (~73%). The accretion of galaxies resembling in RRLS content the most massive Milky Way satellites (LMC, SMC, For, Sgr) may explain this preponderance of OoI. Six new RRLS and three new anomalous Cepheids were found in the Sextans dSph galaxy.

- Description:
- Five lists of late-type stars were published in Astrophysics in 1997-2001, found in the First Byurakan Survey low-dispersion spectroscopic plates as optical identifications of unidentified IRAS sources. These identifications were carried out in the region with DE>+61 and |b|>15 with a surface of 1504deg^2^. As a result, the catalog of the Byurakan-IRAS Stars (BIS) was compiled. Its preliminary version was available at CDS since 2003, Cat. <III/237>. We have revised and updated the BIS catalog with the new data from recently published optical and infrared catalogs to give access to all available data and make possible further comparative studies of the properties of these objects. Cross-correlations of the BIS catalogue with the MAPS, USNO-B1.0 and 2MASS are made, updated SIMBAD data for the BIS objects are added, and accurate DSS1 and DSS2 positions and revised photometry are provided. The objects were checked for proper motion and variability as well. A refined classification from the Digitized First Byurakan Survey (DFBS) low-dispersion spectra was carried out. The revised and updated catalogue of 276 Byurakan-IRAS stars (BIS) is presented. The BIS catalogue can be used for a study of a complete sample of IRAS selected stars and for investigation of individual objects.
