- Description:
- We combine precision radial velocity data from four different published works of the stars in the Leo II dwarf spheroidal galaxy. This yields a data set that spans 19 years, has 14 different epochs of observation, and contains 372 unique red giant branch stars, 196 of which have repeat observations. Using this multi-epoch data set, we constrain the binary fraction for Leo II. We generate a suite of Monte Carlo simulations that test different binary fractions using Bayesian analysis and determine that the binary fraction for Leo II ranges from 0.30_-0.10_^+0.09^ to 0.34_-0.11_^+0.11^, depending on the distributions of binary orbital parameters assumed. This value is smaller than what has been found for the solar neighborhood (~0.4-0.6) but falls within the wide range of values that have been inferred for other dwarf spheroidals (0.14-0.69). The distribution of orbital periods has the greatest impact on the binary fraction results. If the fraction we find in Leo II is present in low-mass ultra-faints, it can artificially inflate the velocity dispersion of those systems and cause them to appear more dark matter rich than in actuality. For a galaxy with an intrinsic dispersion of 1 km/s and an observational sample of 100 stars, the dispersion can be increased by a factor of 1.5-2 for Leo II-like binary fractions or by a factor of three for binary fractions on the higher end of what has been seen in other dwarf spheroidals.

- Description:
- We analyze the angular distribution and the orbital rotation directions of a sample of carefully selected satellite galaxies about disk galaxy primaries extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We complement this analysis with a theoretical study of these statistics in an N-body simulation of cosmological structure formation set within the {Delta}CDM paradigm under various assumptions for the orientations of disk angular momenta.

- Description:
- We have conducted an observing campaign with the FORS instruments at the ESO-Very Large Telescope to explore the kinematical properties of spiral galaxies in distant galaxy clusters. Our main goal is to analyse transformation - and interaction processes of disk galaxies within the special environment of clusters as compared to the hierarchical evolution of galaxies in the field. Spatially resolved multi object spectra have been obtained for seven galaxy clusters at 0.3<z<0.6 to measure rotation velocities of cluster members. For three of the clusters, Cl 0303+17, Cl 0413-65, and MS 1008-12, for which we presented results including a Tully-Fisher-diagram in Ziegler et al. (2003ApJ...598L..87Z), we describe here in detail the sample selection, observations, data reduction, and data analysis. Each of them was observed with two setups of the standard MOS-unit of FORS.

- Description:
- We present results from 1351 high-resolution spectra of 1215 stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) and the surrounding Orion 1c association, obtained with the Hectochelle multiobject echelle spectrograph on the 6.5m MMT. We confirmed 1111 stars as members, based on their radial velocity and/or H{alpha} emission. The radial velocity distribution of members shows a dispersion of {sigma}=3.1km/s. We found a substantial north-south velocity gradient and spatially coherent structure in the radial velocity distribution, similar to that seen in the molecular gas in the region. We also identified several binary and high velocity stars, a region exhibiting signs of triggered star formation, and a possible foreground population of stars somewhat older than the ONC.

- Velocities of WOCS 24009 and WOCS 40007 in NGC 6819

- Description:
- As part of our study of the old (~2.5Gyr) open cluster NGC 6819 in the Kepler field, we present photometric (Kepler and ground-based BVR_C_I_C_) and spectroscopic observations of the detached eclipsing binary WOCS 24009 (Auner 665; KIC5023948) with a short orbital period of 3.6 days. WOCS 24009 is a triple-lined system, and we verify that the brightest star is physically orbiting the eclipsing binary using radial velocities and eclipse timing variations. The eclipsing binary components have masses M_B_=1.090+/-0.010M_{sun}_ and M_C_=1.075+/-0.013M_{sun}_, and radii R_B_=1.099+/-0.006+/-0.005R_{sun}_and R_C_=1.069+/-0.006+/-0.013R_{sun}_. The bright non-eclipsing star resides at the cluster turnoff, and ultimately its mass will directly constrain the turnoff mass: our preliminary determination is M_A_=1.251+/-0.057M_{sun}_. A careful examination of the light curves indicates that the fainter star in the eclipsing binary undergoes a very brief period of total eclipse, which enables us to precisely decompose the light of the three stars and place them in the color-magnitude diagram (CMD). We also present improved analysis of two previously discussed detached eclipsing stars in NGC6819 (WOCS40007 and WOCS23009) en route to a combined determination of the cluster's distance modulus (m-M)_V_=12.38+/-0.04. Because this paper significantly increases the number of measured stars in the cluster, we can better constrain the age of the CMD to be 2.21+/-0.10+/-0.20Gyr. Additionally, using all measured eclipsing binary star masses and radii, we constrain the age to 2.38+/-0.05+/-0.22Gyr. The quoted uncertainties are estimates of measurement and systematic uncertainties (due to model physics differences and metal content), respectively.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We report the discovery of a new stellar companion in the KOI-13 system. KOI-13 is composed of two fast-rotating A-type stars of similar magnitude. One of these two stars hosts a transiting planet discovered by Kepler. We obtained new radial velocity measurements using the SOPHIE spectrograph at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence that reveal an additional companion in this system. This companion has a mass of between 0.4M_{sun}_ and 1M_{sun}_ and orbits one of the two main stars with a period of 65.831+/-0.029-days and an eccentricity of 0.52+/-0.02.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting a subgiant star with an orbital period of 6.87-days thanks to public photometric data from the Kepler space mission and new radial velocity observations obtained by the SOPHIE spectrograph. The planet KOI-428b with a radius of 1.17+/-0.04R_Jup_ and a mass of 2.2+/-0.4M_Jup_, orbits around a F5IV star with R*=2.13+/-0.06R_{sun}_, M*=1.48+/-0.06M_{sun} and Teff=6510+/-100K. The star KOI-428 is the largest and the most evolved star discovered so far with a transiting planet

- Velocity and distance of methanol maser sources
- Short Name:
- J/other/ChJAA/3.
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a statistical analysis of 482 6.7GHz methanol maser sources from the available literature, on their maser emission and the characteristics of their associated infrared sources. On the color-color diagram, more than 70% of the objects fall within a very small region (0.57<=[25-12]<=1.30 and 1.30<=[60-12]<=2.50). This suggests that 6.7GHz methanol maser emission occurs only within a very short evolutionary phase during the earliest stage of star formation. The velocity ranges of the masers belong to two main groups: one from 1 to 10km/s, and one from about 11 to 20km/s. These velocity ranges indicate that the masers are probably associated with both disks and outflows. The correlations between the maser and infrared flux densities, and between the maser and infrared luminosities, suggest that far-infrared radiation is a possible pumping mechanism for the masers which most probably originate from some outer molecular envelopes or disks.

- Velocity and H{alpha} width of 22 Vul
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The 22 Vul system is important for studying the winds and chromospheres of cool evolved stars because the G4 I component is rotating rapidly and probably faster than synchronously. We discuss the system's physical properties in the context of a wide range of constraints on them and propose values that may be marginally better than previous ones. We use H{alpha} spectroscopy to assess the variability of the cool star's wind, and archival IUE observations to measure variation of density in the wind and rotation of the chromosphere.
