- Description:
- The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues are the primary products of the European Space Agency's astrometric mission, Hipparcos. The satellite, which operated for four years, returned high quality scientific data from November 1989 to March 1993. Each of the catalogues contains a large quantity of very high quality astrometric and photometric data. In addition there are associated annexes featuring variability and double/multiple star data, and solar system astrometric and photometric measurements. In the case of the Hipparcos Catalogue, the principal parts are provided in both printed and machine-readable form (on CDROM). In the case of the Tycho Catalogue, results are provided in machine-readable form only (on CDROM). Although in general only the final reduced and calibrated astrometric and photometric data are provided, some auxiliary files containing results from intermediate stages of the data processing, of relevance for the more-specialised user, have also been retained for publication. (Some, but not all, data files are available from the Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg.) The global data analysis tasks, proceeding from nearly 1000 Gbit of raw satellite data to the final catalogues, was a lengthy and complex process, and was undertaken by the NDAC and FAST Consortia, together responsible for the production of the Hipparcos Catalogue, and the Tycho Consortium, responsible for the production of the Tycho Catalogue. A fourth scientific consortium, the INCA Consortium, was responsible for the construction of the Hipparcos observing programme, compiling the best-available data for the selected stars before launch into the Hipparcos Input Catalogue. The production of the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues marks the formal end of the involvement in the mission by the European Space Agency and the four scientific consortia. For more complete and detailed information on the data, the user is advised to refer to Volume 1 ("Introduction and Guide to the Data", ESA SP-1200) of the printed Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues. The user should also note that in order to convert the Double and Multiple Systems (Component solutions) data file hip_dm_c.dat into FITS format it is first necessary to filter the file according to whether the entry is a component record (identified by COMP in field DCM5) or a correlation record (identified by CORR in field DCM5) because of the different structures of the respective records. On a Unix system this can be achieved as follows: grep COMP hip_dm_c.dat > h_dm_com.dat grep CORR hip_dm_c.dat > h_dm_cor.dat The catalogue description file (this file) gives the relevant information for converting the main data files, including h_dm_cor.dat and h_dm_com.dat, into FITS format. The machine readable data files (i.e. those available on CD-ROM and the subset available from the CDS) contain several extra fields in addition to the data from the printed catalogue. These fields are identified by the letter `M' in the data label (e.g. the field DGM1 contains data only available in the machine readable file hip_dm_g.dat).

- The hot Jupiter Kepler-13Ab planet's occultation
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/788/92
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Kepler-13Ab (= KOI-13.01) is a unique transiting hot Jupiter. It is one of very few known short-period planets orbiting a hot A-type star, making it one of the hottest planets currently known. The availability of Kepler data allows us to measure the planet's occultation (secondary eclipse) and phase curve in the optical, which we combine with occultations observed by warm Spitzer at 4.5 {mu}m and 3.6 {mu}m and a ground-based occultation observation in the K_s_ band (2.1 {mu}m). We derive a day-side hemisphere temperature of 2750+/-160 K as the effective temperature of a black body showing the same occultation depths. Comparing the occultation depths with one-dimensional planetary atmosphere models suggests the presence of an atmospheric temperature inversion. Our analysis shows evidence for a relatively high geometric albedo, A_g_=0.33_-0.06_^+0.04^. While measured with a simplistic method, a high A_g_ is supported also by the fact that the one-dimensional atmosphere models underestimate the occultation depth in the optical. We use stellar spectra to determine the dilution, in the four wide bands where occultation was measured, due to the visual stellar binary companion 1.15"+/-0.05" away. The revised stellar parameters measured using these spectra are combined with other measurements, leading to revised planetary mass and radius estimates of M_p_=4.94-8.09 M_J_ and R_p_=1.406+/-0.038 R_J_. Finally, we measure a Kepler midoccultation time that is 34.0+/-6.9 s earlier than expected based on the midtransit time and the delay due to light-travel time and discuss possible scenarios.

- The Kepler-20 planetary system
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/749/15
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the discovery of the Kepler-20 planetary system, which we initially identified through the detection of five distinct periodic transit signals in the Kepler light curve of the host star 2MASS J19104752+4220194. From high-resolution spectroscopy of the star, we find a stellar effective temperature T_eff_= 5455+/-100 K, a metallicity of [Fe/H] = 0.01+/-0.04, and a surface gravity of log g = 4.4+/-0.1. We combine these estimates with an estimate of the stellar density derived from the transit light curves to deduce a stellar mass of M_*_ = 0.912+/-0.034 M_{sun}_and a stellar radius of R_*_ = 0.944^+0.060^_-0.095_R_{sun}_. For three of the transit signals, we demonstrate that our results strongly disfavor the possibility that these result from astrophysical false positives. We determine the orbital periods and physical radii of the three confirmed planets to be 3.70 days and 1.91^+0.12^_-0.21_R_{earth}_ for Kepler-20b, 10.85 days and 3.07^+0.20^_-0.31_R_{earth}_ for Kepler-20c, and 77.61 days and 2.75^+0.17^_-0.30_R_{earth}_ for Kepler-20d. From multi-epoch radial velocities, we determine the masses of Kepler-20b and Kepler-20c to be 8.7+/-2.2 M_{earth}_ and 16.1 +/-3.5 M_{earth}_, respectively, and we place an upper limit on the mass of Kepler-20d of 20.1 M_{earth}_(2{sigma}).

- Publisher:

- Description:
- Variability-induced motion (VIM) is an observable effect in simultaneous astrometric and photometric measurements caused by brightness variation in one of the components of a double source or blended image, which manifests itself as a strongly correlated shift of the optical photocenter. We have processed the entire collection of Kepler long-cadence light curve data, looking for correlated signals in astrometry and photometry on the time basis of a quarter-year. Limiting the VIM correlation coefficient to 0.3, VIM events are detected for 129525 Kepler stars in at least one quarter. Of 7305 Kepler objects of interest, 4440 are detected as VIM at least once. Known variable stars and resolved double stars have elevated rates of VIM detection. Confident VIM occurrences are found for stars with suggested superflare events, indicating possible signal contamination. We present a complete catalog of all quarterly VIM detections. This catalog should be checked for such astrophysically significant events as transits of exoplanets, new eclipsing stars, and superflares of solar-type stars.

- The LEECH exoplanet imaging survey
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/156/286
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the results of the largest L' (3.8 {mu}m) direct imaging survey for exoplanets to date, the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer Exozodi Exoplanet Common Hunt (LEECH). We observed 98 stars with spectral types from B to M. Cool planets emit a larger share of their flux in L' compared to shorter wavelengths, affording LEECH an advantage in detecting low-mass, old, and cold-start giant planets. We emphasize proximity over youth in our target selection, probing physical separations smaller than other direct imaging surveys. For FGK stars, LEECH outperforms many previous studies, placing tighter constraints on the hot-start planet occurrence frequency interior to ~20 au. For less luminous, cold-start planets, LEECH provides the best constraints on giant-planet frequency interior to ~20 au around FGK stars. Direct imaging survey results depend sensitively on both the choice of evolutionary model (e.g., hot- or cold-start) and assumptions (explicit or implicit) about the shape of the underlying planet distribution, in particular its radial extent. Artificially low limits on the planet occurrence frequency can be derived when the shape of the planet distribution is assumed to extend to very large separations, well beyond typical protoplanetary dust-disk radii (~<50 au), and when hot-start models are used exclusively. We place a conservative upper limit on the planet occurrence frequency using cold-start models and planetary population distributions that do not extend beyond typical protoplanetary dust-disk radii. We find that ~<90% of FGK systems can host a 7-10 M_Jup_ planet from 5 to 50 au. This limit leaves open the possibility that planets in this range are common.

- The multiplicity of M dwarfs in young moving groups
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/846/93
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We image 104 newly identified low-mass (mostly M-dwarf) pre-main sequence (PMS) members of nearby young moving groups (YMGs) with Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO) and identify 27 stellar binaries with instantaneous projected separation as small as 40mas. Fifteen were previously unknown. The total number of multiple systems in this sample including spectroscopic and visual binaries from the literature is 36, giving a raw stellar multiplicity rate of at least 35_-4_^+5^% for this population. In the separation range of roughly 1-300au in which infrared AO imaging is most sensitive, the raw multiplicity rate is at least 24_-4_^+5^% for binaries resolved by the MagAO infrared camera (Clio). The M-star subsample of 87 stars yields a raw multiplicity of at least 30_-4_^+5^% over all separations, 21_-4_^+5^% for secondary companions resolved by Clio from 1 to 300au (23_-4_^+5^% for all known binaries in this separation range). A combined analysis with binaries discovered by the Search for Associations Containing Young stars shows that stellar multiplicity fraction as a function of mass over the range of 0.2 to 1.2M_{sun}_ appears to be linearly flat, in contrast to the field, where multiplicity increases with mass. After bias corrections are applied, the multiplicity of low-mass YMG members (0.2-0.6M_{sun}_) is in excess of the field. The overall multiplicity fraction is also consistent with being constant in age and across YMGs, which suggests that multiplicity rates for this mass range are largely set by 10Myr without appreciable evolution thereafter.

- The nearby white dwarf/red dwarf pair 40 Eri BC
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A new relative orbit solution with new dynamical masses is determined for the nearby white dwarf-red dwarf pair 40 Eri BC. The period is 230.29+/-0.68 years. It is predicted to close slowly over the next half-century, getting as close as 1.32" in early 2066. We determine masses of 0.573+/-0.018 M_{sun}_ for the white dwarf and 0.2036+/-0.0064 M_{sun}_ for the red dwarf companion. The inconsistency of the masses determined by gravitational redshift and dynamical techniques, due to a premature orbit calculation, no longer exists.

- The orbit of S2 star around Sgr A*
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/707/L114
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Two recent papers (Ghez et al. 2008ApJ...689.1044G; Gillessen et al. 2009ApJ...692.1075G) have estimated the mass of and the distance to the massive black hole (MBH) in the center of the Milky Way using stellar orbits. The two astrometric data sets are independent and yielded consistent results, even though the measured positions do not match when simply overplotting the two sets. In this Letter, we show that the two sets can be brought to excellent agreement with each other when we allow for a small offset in the definition of the reference frame of the two data sets. The required offsets in the coordinates and velocities of the origin of the reference frames are consistent with the uncertainties given in Ghez et al. The so-combined data set allows for a moderate improvement of the statistical errors of the mass of and the distance to Sgr A*, but the overall accuracies of these numbers are dominated by systematic errors and the long-term calibration of the reference frame.

- The Photometric Magnitude Difference Catalog
- Short Name:
- II/235
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Photometric Magnitude Difference Catalog is a collection of all double star photometric data which does not contain astrometric information and is therefore inappropriate for the Washington Double Star Catalog. Magnitude difference information can be useful in estimating mass ratios, determining photocentric positions which are color dependent, or into investigations of variability in close binary systems. Due to uncertainties in bandpass characteristics or variability, no summary line is presented, rather a complete listing of all data.

- Description:
- In anticipation of the possible collision between a circumstellar disk and the secondary star in the highly eccentric binary system {delta} Scorpii, high angular resolution interferometric observations have been acquired, aimed at revising the binary parameters. The Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer was used to spatially resolve the binary components in 2000 and over a period between 2005 and 2010. The interferometric observations are used to obtain the angular separations and orientations of the two stellar components at all epochs for which data have been obtained, including 2005 and 2006, for which, based on previous studies, there was some uncertainty as to if the signature of binarity can be clearly detected. The results of this study represent the most complete and accurate coverage of the binary orbit of this system to date and allow for the revised timing of the upcoming periastron passage that will occur in 2011 to be obtained.
