- Description:
- Astrometrically determined kinematic data are given for nearby clusters and associations, including astrometric radial velocities and kinematically improved parallaxes for individual stars. The astrometric radial velocities are determined independent of spectroscopy. Table 1 gives the space velocities and internal velocity dispersions of the clusters and associations. The electronic Table1 (Table1.dat) is an extended version of Table 1 in the journal paper, now including the full covariances of the space velocity components as well as the space motion in spherical coordinates. Table 2 gives the astrometric radial velocities and kinematically improved parallaxes for the individual stars. The electronic Table 2 is an extended version of Table 2 in the journal paper, now including all clusters and associations studied; results using data from both the Hipparcos and Tycho-2catalogues, as well as the standard errors for all deduced quantities. The electronic Table 2 is divided into 10 sub-tables (table1a.dat through table2j.dat), one for each cluster or association.

- Description:
- An extensive and up-dated list of {delta} Sct stars is presented here. More than 500 papers, published during the last few years, have been revised and 341 new variables have been added to our last list, six years ago. This catalogue is intended to be a comprehensive review on the observational characteristics of all the {delta} Sct stars known until now, including stars contained in earlier catalogues together with other new discovered variables, covering information published until January 2000. In summary, 636 variables, 1149 references and 182 individual notes are presented in this new list.

- 3D kinematic observations of stars in Galactic Centre
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/779/L6
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present three-dimensional (3D) kinematic observations of stars within the central 0.5pc of the Milky Way (MW) nuclear star cluster (NSC) using adaptive optics imaging and spectroscopy from the Keck telescopes. Recent observations have shown that the cluster has a shallower surface density profile than expected for a dynamically relaxed cusp, leading to important implications for its formation and evolution. However, the true 3D profile of the cluster is unknown due to the difficulty in de-projecting the stellar number counts. Here, we use spherical Jeans modeling of individual proper motions and radial velocities to constrain, for the first time, the de-projected spatial density profile, cluster velocity anisotropy, black hole mass (M_BH_), and distance to the Galactic center (R_0_) simultaneously. We find that the inner stellar density profile of the late-type stars, {rho}(r){prop.to}r^-{gamma}^, have a power law slope {gamma}=0.05_-0.60^+0.29^, much more shallow than the frequently assumed Bahcall-Wolf slope of {gamma}=7/4. The measured slope will significantly affect dynamical predictions involving the cluster, such as the dynamical friction time scale. The cluster core must be larger than 0.5 pc, which disfavors some scenarios for its origin. Our measurement of M_BH_=5.76_-1.26_^+1.76^x10^6^M_{sun}_ and R_0_=8.92_-0.55_^+0.58^kpc is consistent with that derived from stellar orbits within 1" of Sgr A*. When combined with the orbit of S0-2, the uncertainty on R_0_ is reduced by 30% (8.46_-0.38_^+0.42^kpc). We suggest that the MW NSC can be used in the future in combination with stellar orbits to significantly improve constraints on R_0_.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of the ages and star formation history of the F-type stars in the Upper Scorpius (US), Upper Centaurus-Lupus (UCL), and Lower Centaurus-Crux (LCC) subgroups of Scorpius-Centaurus (Sco-Cen), the nearest OB association. Our parent sample is the kinematically selected Hipparcos sample of de Zeeuw et al. (1999, Cat. J/AJ/117/354), restricted to the 138 F-type members. We have obtained classification-resolution optical spectra and have also determined the spectroscopic accretion disk fraction. With Hipparcos and 2MASS photometry, we estimate the reddening and extinction for each star and place the candidate members on a theoretical H-R diagram. For each subgroup we construct empirical isochrones and compare to published evolutionary tracks.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a kinematic analysis of 152 low surface gravity M7-L8 dwarfs by adding 18 new parallaxes (including 10 for comparative field objects), 38 new radial velocities, and 19 new proper motions. We also add low- or moderate-resolution near-infrared spectra for 43 sources confirming their low surface gravity features. Among the full sample, we find 39 objects to be high-likelihood or new bona fide members of nearby moving groups, 92 objects to be ambiguous members and 21 objects that are non-members. Using this age-calibrated sample, we investigate trends in gravity classification, photometric color, absolute magnitude, color-magnitude, luminosity, and effective temperature.

- Description:
- The given catalogue is a revised version of the catalogue (Zakhozhaj, 1987). The previous numeration is preserved, and the stars, with trigonometric, photometric and spectral parallaxes >0.100" are presented. The catalogue contains data on new components of multiple visual systems, on the components of spectral-binary systems, on invisible components with masses >0.08 solar mass. New data are obtained in 90s and contained in the articles [2-6]. The catalogue contains the main characteristics of stars such as the positions, proper motions, radial velocities, parallaxes, photometrical data and also new data of masses and radii of stars. The completeness of the catalogue is about 70%.

- Description:
- We compare the spectroscopic and trigonometric parallaxes of common stars from the Tycho-2 Spectral Type and Hipparcos Catalogues. This comparison has revealed that the distance estimations for the overwhelming majority of stars by both methods yield very similar results. However, there is a small fraction of stars for which the distance estimates differences.

- Description:
- A sample of 135 stars with composite spectra has been observed in the near-UV spectral region with the Aurelie spectrograph at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence. Using the spectral classifications of the cool components previously determined with near infrared spectra, we obtained reliable spectral types of the hot components of the sample systems. The hot components were isolated by the subtraction method using MK standards as surrogates of the cool components. We also derived the visual magnitude differences between the components using Willstrop's normalized stellar flux ratios. We propose a photometric model for each of these systems on the basis of our spectroscopic data and the Hipparcos data.

- Description:
- With contemporary infrared spectroscopic surveys like APO Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), red-giant stars can be observed to distances and extinctions at which Gaia parallaxes are not highly informative. Yet the combination of effective temperature, surface gravity, composition, and age-all accessible through spectroscopy - determines a giant's luminosity. Therefore spectroscopy plus photometry should enable precise spectrophotometric distance estimates. Here we use the overlap of APOGEE, Gaia, the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to train a data-driven model to predict parallaxes for red-giant branch stars with 0<logg=<2.2 (more luminous than the red clump). We employ (the exponentiation of) a linear function of APOGEE spectral pixel intensities and multiband photometry to predict parallax spectrophotometrically. The model training involves no logarithms or inverses of the Gaia parallaxes, and needs no cut on the Gaia parallax signal-to-noise ratio. It includes an L1 regularization to zero out the contributions of uninformative pixels. The training is performed with leave-out subsamples such that no star's astrometry is used even indirectly in its spectrophotometric parallax estimate. The model implicitly performs a reddening and extinction correction in its parallax prediction, without any explicit dust model. We assign to each star in the sample a new spectrophotometric parallax estimate; these parallaxes have uncertainties of less than 15%, depending on data quality, which is more precise than the Gaia parallax for the vast majority of targets, and certainly any stars more than a few kiloparsec distance. We obtain 10% distance estimates out to heliocentric distances of 20 kpc, and make global maps of the Milky Way's disk.

- Spectroscopy of bright M dwarfs in the northern sky
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/145/102
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a spectroscopic catalog of the 1564 brightest (J<9) M dwarf candidates in the northern sky, as selected from the SUPERBLINK proper motion catalog. Observations confirm 1408 of the candidates to be late-K and M dwarfs with spectral subtypes K7-M6. From the low ({mu}>40mas/yr) proper motion limit and high level of completeness of the SUPERBLINK catalog in that magnitude range, we estimate that our spectroscopic census most likely includes >90% of all existing, northern-sky M dwarfs with apparent magnitude J<9. Only 682 stars in our sample are listed in the Third Catalog of Nearby Stars (CNS3); most others are relative unknowns and have spectroscopic data presented here for the first time. Spectral subtypes are assigned based on spectral index measurements of CaH and TiO molecular bands; a comparison of spectra from the same stars obtained at different observatories, however, reveals that spectral band index measurements are dependent on spectral resolution, spectrophotometric calibration, and other instrumental factors. As a result, we find that a consistent classification scheme requires that spectral indices be calibrated and corrected for each observatory/instrument used. After systematic corrections and a recalibration of the subtype-index relationships for the CaH2, CaH3, TiO5, and TiO6 spectral indices, we find that we can consistently and reliably classify all our stars to a half-subtype precision. The use of corrected spectral indices further requires us to recalibrate the {zeta} parameter, a metallicity indicator based on the ratio of TiO and CaH optical bandheads. However, we find that our {zeta} values are not sensitive enough to diagnose metallicity variations in dwarfs of subtypes M2 and earlier (+/-0.5dex accuracy) and are only marginally useful at later M3-M5 subtypes (+/-0.2dex accuracy). Fits of our spectra to the Phoenix atmospheric model grid are used to estimate effective temperatures. These suggest the existence of a plateau in the M1-M3 subtype range, in agreement with model fits of infrared spectra but at odds with photometric determinations of T_eff_. Existing geometric parallax measurements are extracted from the literature for 624 stars, and are used to determine spectroscopic and photometric distances for all the other stars. Active dwarfs are identified from measurements of H{alpha} equivalent widths, and we find a strong correlation between H{alpha} emission in M dwarfs and detected X-ray emission from ROSAT and/or a large UV excess in the GALEX point source catalog. We combine proper motion data and photometric distances to evaluate the (U, V, W) distribution in velocity space, which is found to correlate tightly with the velocity distribution of G dwarfs in the solar neighborhood. However, active stars show a smaller dispersion in their space velocities, which is consistent with those stars being younger on average. Our catalog will be most useful to guide the selection of the best M dwarf targets for exoplanet searches, in particular those using high-precision radial velocity measurements.
