- Description:
- This paper reports results from the multicolor photometric observations of 15 pre-main sequence stars collected in the period September 2010 - October 2017. The stars from our study are located in the star-forming HII region IC 5070. These objects were previously detected as either emission line stars, flare stars, T Tauri variables or Herbig Ae/Be stars. Photometric observations, especially concerning the long-term behavior of the objects, are missing in the literature. We present the first photometric monitoring for all stars from our study. The analysis of the obtained BVRI photometric data allows us to draw the conclusion that all investigated objects are variable stars. In the case of LkHa 146, we identified previously unknown periodicity in its photometric variability.

- Description:
- Results from long-term multicolour optical photometric observations of the pre-main sequence stars FHO 26, FHO 27, FHO 28, FHO 29, and V1929 Cyg collected during the period from 1997 June to 2014 December are presented. The objects are located in the dense molecular cloud L935, named 'Gulf of Mexico', in the field between the North America and Pelican nebulae. All stars from our study exhibit strong photometric variability in all optical passbands. Using our BVRI observations and data published by other authors, we tried to define the reasons for the observed brightness variations. The presented paper is a part of our long-term photometric study of the young stellar objects in the region of 'Gulf of Mexico'.

- Description:
- To broaden the search and study stars in the early evolutionary phase, we investigated a sample of 17 pre-main sequence objects previously detected as either H{alpha} emission-line pre-main sequence stars or T Tauri variables located in the field of the North America/Pelican Nebula complex. Johnson-Cousins B, V, Rc, Ic magnitudes and mean color indices for the program stars are determined from more than 12400 measurements from archive photographic plates and from CCD data collected at 7 observatories covering the period of almost 60 years from 1954 up to 2013. We complemented previously rare insights on the photometry of the program stars and presented their photometric history, which for almost all program stars is the first long term photometric monitoring on a timescale of 6 decades. Eight program stars are found to be classical T Tauri stars of variability type II, while 6 program stars are weak-line T Tauri stars of variability type I. For the first time, periodicity is found for three stars: V1716 Cyg indicates a 4.15 day period, V2051 Cyg indicates a 384 day period, and V521 Cyg a period of 503 days.

- Low-mass members of the Octans association
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/447/1267
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Octans association is one of several young stellar moving groups recently discovered in the Solar neighbourhood and hence a valuable laboratory for studies of stellar, circumstellar disc and planetary evolution. However, a lack of low-mass members or any members with trigonometric parallaxes means the age, distance and space motion of the group are poorly constrained. To better determine its membership and age, we present the first spectroscopic survey for new K- and M-type Octans members, resulting in the discovery of 29 UV-bright K5-M4 stars with kinematics, photometry and distances consistent with existing members. Nine new members possess strong LiI 6708 absorption, which allow us to estimate a lithium age of 30-40Myr, similar to that of the Tucana-Horologium association and bracketed by the firm lithium depletion boundary ages of the beta Pictoris (20Myr) and Argus/IC 2391 (50Myr) associations. Several stars also show hints in our medium-resolution spectra of fast rotation or spectroscopic binarity. More so than other nearby associations, Octans is much larger than its age and internal velocity dispersion imply. It may be the dispersing remnant of a sparse, extended structure which includes some younger members of the foreground Octans-Near association recently proposed by Zuckerman and collaborators.

- Description:
- We present a wide-field photometric survey covering ~200^{deg}^2 toward the Upper Scorpius OB association. Data taken in the R and I bands with the Quest-2 camera on the Palomar 48inch (1.2m) telescope were combined with the Two Micron All Sky Survey JHK_S_ survey and used to select candidate pre-main-sequence stars. Follow-up spectroscopy with the Palomar 200inch (5.1m) telescope of 62 candidate late-type members identified 43 stars that have surface gravity signatures consistent with association membership.

- Description:
- We present continued results from a wide-field, ~150{deg}^2^, optical photometric and spectroscopic survey of the northern part of the ~5Myr old Upper Scorpius OB association. Photometry and spectral types were used to derive effective temperatures and luminosities and place newly identified association members onto a theoretical Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. From our survey, we have discovered 145 new low-mass members of the association and determined ~10% of these objects to be actively accreting material from a surrounding circumstellar disk.

- Description:
- We present results from a near-infrared spectroscopic study of candidate brown dwarfs and low-mass stars in the young cluster NGC 2024. Using FLAMINGOS on the KPNO 2.1m and 4m telescopes, we have obtained spectra of ~70 new members of the cluster and classified them via the prominent J- and H-band water absorption features. Derived spectral types range from ~M1 to later than M8 with typical classification errors of 0.5-1 subclasses. By combining these spectral types with JHK photometry, we place these objects on the H-R diagram and use pre-main-sequence evolutionary models to infer masses and ages. The mean age for this low-mass population of NGC 2024 is 0.5Myr, and derived masses range from ~0.7 to 0.02M_{sun}_ with 23 objects falling below the hydrogen-burning limit. The logarithmic mass function rises to a peak at ~0.2M_{sun}_ before turning over and declining into the substellar regime. There is a possible secondary peak at ~0.035M_{sun}_ ; however, the errors are also consistent with a flat IMF in this region. The ratio of brown dwarfs to stars is similar to that found in the Trapezium but roughly twice the ratio found in IC 348, leading us to conclude that the substellar IMF in young clusters may be dependent on the local star-forming environment.

- Description:
- The basic sample of young stars in Taurus used in this paper is taken from the tabulation of Kenyon & Hartmann (1995, Cat. <J/ApJS/101/117>) with various additions. A few new low-mass stars were added from the studies of Briceno et al. (1998AJ....115.2074B, 1999AJ....118.1354B). I further added a few stars from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) studies of Wichmann et al. (1996A&A...312..439W, 2000A&A...359..181W).

- Description:
- We present the first identification of low-mass (spectral types K-M) stars in the young clusters Tr37 and NGC7160, members of the CepOB2 association. This is part of a program to follow the evolution of protoplanetary accretion disks through the ages thought to be crucial to understanding disk dissipation and planet formation (~3-10Myr). Combining optical photometry and optical spectroscopy, we have identified ~40 members in Tr37 and ~15 in NGC7160, using several independent tests for determining the membership (optical colors, optical variability, H{alpha} emission, and Li{lambda}6707 absorption).

- Description:
- The Upper Scorpius association is the OB association nearest to the Sun (145pc). Its young age (~5Myr) makes it an ideal place to search for low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, as these objects should be relatively bright. We have performed a photometric search for the low-mass members of the association, using the R, I, and Z filters. The completeness limit is I~18.5, and the saturation limit is I~13. We obtain 138 candidate members, covering nearly the entire M spectral type range. We find an excess of brown dwarf candidates over the number predicted by a Miller-Scalo initial mass function. In addition, we have performed infrared imaging and low-resolution optical spectroscopy of selected candidates. We find that the infrared observations confirm the spectral types obtained with the optical photometry. Furthermore, we find H{alpha} in emission in 20 of the 22 objects observed spectroscopically. As H{alpha} is an indicator of youth, we believe that these 20 objects may belong to the association. One of them, UScoCTIO 128, has a very strong and constant H{alpha} line (equivalent width -130{AA}), and its position in the color-magnitude diagram suggests that it is a brown dwarf with mass 0.02M_{sun}_. Confirmation of this and the other candidates will have to wait for higher resolution observations that can reveal spectroscopic mass indicators such as LiI and gravity indicators such as KI and the subordinate lines of NaI.
