- Description:
- From an extensive number of newly acquired radial velocities we determine the orbital elements for three late-type dwarf systems, HD 96511, HR 7578, and KZ And. The orbital periods are 18.89737+/-0.00002, 46.81610+/-0.00006, and 3.0329113+/-0.0000005 days, respectively, and all three systems are eccentric, although KZ And is just barely so. We have detected lines of the secondary of HD 96511 for the first time. The orbital dimensions (a_1_ sin i and a_2_ sin i) and minimum masses (m_1_ sin^3^i and m_2_ sin^3^i) of the binary components all have accuracies of 0.2% or better. Extensive photometry of the chromospherically active binary HR 7578 confirms a rather long rotation period of 16.446+/-0.002 days and that the K3 V components do not eclipse. We have estimated the basic properties of the stars in the three systems and compared those results with evolutionary tracks. The results for KZ And that we computed with the revised Hipparcos parallax of van Leeuwen (Cat. I/311) produce inconsistencies. That parallax appears to be too large, and so, instead, we used the original Hipparcos parallax of the common proper motion primary, which improves the results, although some problems remain.

- Radial velocities of stars in NGC 2264

- Description:
- We present an expanded kinematic study of the young cluster NGC 2264 based upon optical radial velocities measured using multi-fiber echelle spectroscopy at the 6.5m MMT and Magellan telescopes. We report radial velocities for 695 stars, of which approximately 407 stars are confirmed or very likely members. Our results more than double the number of members with radial velocities from Furesz et al., resulting in a much better defined kinematic relationship between the stellar population and the associated molecular gas. In particular, we find that there is a significant subset of stars that are systematically blueshifted with respect to the molecular (^13^CO) gas. The detection of Lithium absorption and/or infrared excesses in this blueshifted population suggests that at least some of these stars are cluster members; we suggest some speculative scenarios to explain their kinematics. Our results also more clearly define the redshifted population of stars in the northern end of the cluster; we suggest that the stellar and gas kinematics of this region are the result of a bubble driven by the wind from O7 star S Mon. Our results emphasize the complexity of the spatial and kinematic structure of NGC 2264, important for eventually building up a comprehensive picture of cluster formation.

- Radial velocities of stars in the Galactic Center
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/681/1254
- Date:

- CDS
- Description:
- We present results from K-band slit scan observations of a ~20"x20" region of the Galactic center (GC) in two separate epochs more than 5 years apart. The high-resolution (R={lamda}/{Delta}{lambda}>=14000) observations allow the most accurate radial velocity and acceleration measurements of the stars in the central parsec of the Galaxy. Detected stars can be divided into three groups based on the CO absorption band heads at ~2.2935um and the HeII lines at ~2.0581 and ~2.112, 2.113um: cool, narrow-line hot, and broad-line hot. The radial velocities of the cool, late-type stars have approximately a symmetrical distribution with its center at ~-7.8+/-10.3km/s and a standard deviation ~113.7+/-10.3km/s. Although our statistics are dominated by the brightest stars, we estimate a central black hole mass of (3.9+/-1.1)x10^6^M_{sun}_, consistent with current estimates from complete orbits of individual stars. Our surface density profile and the velocity dispersion of the late-type stars support the existence of a low-density region at the Galactic center suggested by earlier observations.

- Radial Velocities with Astrometric Data
- Short Name:

- CDS
- Description:
- The catalogue of radial velocities of Galactic stars with high precision astrometric data (CRVAD) is the result of a merging of star lists from the General Catalog of Mean Radial Velocities (GCRV, Cat. III/213) and from the All-sky Compiled Catalogue of 2.5 Million Stars (ASCC-2.5, Cat. I/280). The cross identification of GCRV and ASCC-2.5 objects was carried out with help of coordinate, magnitude, colour and/or spectral type criteria. Data from the Catalogue of Components of Double and Multiple Stars (CCDM, Cat. I/274) were taken into account for the identification of multiple system components. 34553 stars of the ASCC-2.5 were identified with 33509 stars of the GCRV, i.e. 33509 stars of the GCRV have one entry in the ASCC-2.5, and 1044 objects have two entries. The catalogue includes accurate equatorial coordinates J2000, proper motions and trigonometric parallaxes in the Hipparcos system, B and V magnitudes in Johnson system, spectral classes, multiplicity and variability flags from the ASCC-2.5, and radial velocities, stellar magnitudes and spectra from the GCRV. Stars are sorted in right ascension J2000 order. 3967 stars were selected as radial velocity standard candidates (file rv_std.dat). These stars: - do not have any multiplicity and/or variability flags both in the GCRV and ASCC-2.5; - have standard errors of equatorial coordinates e <= 40 mas; - have standard errors of proper motions e_pm <= 4 mas/yr; - have standard errors of V magnitude e_V <= 0.05 mag and (B-V) colour e_(B-V) <= 0.07 mag; - have standard errors of radial velocity e_RV <= 2 km/s or quality index A or B, which corresponds to e_RV 0.74 and 1.78 km/s; - have at least four RV observations N_RV.

- Radial velocity estimates of 4 stars with IGRINS

- Description:
- Application of the radial velocity (RV) technique in the near-infrared is valuable because of the diminished impact of stellar activity at longer wavelengths, making it particularly advantageous for the study of late-type stars but also for solar-type objects. In this paper, we present the IGRINS RV open-source python pipeline for computing infrared RV measurements from reduced spectra taken with IGRINS, an R~{lambda}/{Delta}{lambda}~45000 spectrograph with simultaneous coverage of the H-band (1.49-1.80{mu}m) and K-band (1.96-2.46{mu}m). Using a modified forward-modeling technique, we construct high-resolution telluric templates from A0 standard observations on a nightly basis to provide a source of common-path wavelength calibration while mitigating the need to mask or correct for telluric absorption. Telluric standard observations are also used to model the variations in instrumental resolution across the detector, including a yearlong period when the K-band was defocused. Without any additional instrument hardware, such as a gas cell or laser frequency comb, we are able to achieve precisions of 26.8m/s in the K-band and 31.1m/s in the H-band for narrow-line hosts. These precisions are empirically determined by a monitoring campaign of two RV standard stars, as well as the successful retrieval of planet-induced RV signals for both HD189733 and {tau}BooA; furthermore, our results affirm the presence of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for HD189733. The IGRINS RV pipeline extends another important science capability to IGRINS, with publicly available software designed for widespread use.

- Description:
- We present a new radio survey of about 100 late-M and L dwarfs undertaken with the Very Large Array. The sample was chosen to explore the role of rotation in the radio activity of ultracool dwarfs. As part of the survey we discovered radio emission from three new objects, 2MASS J0518113-310153 (M6.5), 2MASS J0952219-192431 (M7), and 2MASS J1314203+132001 (M7), and made an additional detection of LP 349-25 (M8). Combining the new sample with results from our previous studies and from the literature, we compile the largest sample to date of ultracool dwarfs with radio observations and measured rotation velocities.

- Title:
- Red supergiant stars in M31 and M33
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/161/79
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We identify red supergiants (RSGs) in our spiral neighbors M31 and M33 using near-IR (NIR) photometry complete to a luminosity limit of logL/L{odot}=4.0. Our archival survey data cover 5{deg}^2^ of M31, and 3{deg}^2^ for M33, and are likely spatially complete for these massive stars. Gaia is used to remove foreground stars, after which the RSGs can be separated from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the color-magnitude diagram. The photometry is used to derive effective temperatures and bolometric luminosities via MARCS stellar atmosphere models. The resulting H-R diagrams show superb agreement with the evolutionary tracks of the Geneva evolutionary group. Our census includes 6400 RSGs in M31 and 2850 RSGs in M33 within their Holmberg radii; by contrast, only a few hundred RSGs are known so far in the Milky Way. Our catalog serves as the basis for a study of the RSG binary frequency being published separately, as well as future studies relating to the evolution of massive stars. Here we use the matches between the NIR- selected RSGs and their optical counterparts to show that the apparent similarity in the reddening of OB stars in M31 and M33 is the result of Malmquist bias; the average extinction in M31 is likely higher than that of M33. As expected, the distribution of RSGs follows that of the spiral arms, while the much older AGB population is more uniformly spread across each galaxy's disk.

- Revised First Byurakan Survey of late-type stars
- Short Name:

- CDS
- Description:
- Between 1990 and 2010, 15 lists of late-type stars found in the low-dispersion spectroscopic plates of the First Byurakan Survey (FBS) were published. The systematic search and selection was carried out on a surface of 16000 sq.deg. on almost the whole area of the FBS. As a result, a comprehensive catalogue of the late-type stars of the FBS was generated. Its preliminary version has been available at the CDS since 2007 (Cat. III/246). We have revised and updated the FBS catalogue of late-type stars with new data from recently published optical and multiwavelength catalogues to give access to all available data and to make further comparative studies of the properties of these objects possible. We have made cross-correlations with the Digitized First Byurakan Survey (DFBS, Cat. VI/116)), the United States Naval Observatory-B1.0 catalogue (Cat. I/284), the Guide Star Catalogue 2.3.2 (Cat. I/305), Tycho-2 (Cat. I/259), Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 8 (Cat. II/306), the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS, Cat. II/246)), the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer catalogue (WISE, Cat. II/311), the Infrared Astronomical Satellite Point Source Catalogue/Faint Source Catalogue (IRAS Catalogs II/125, II/156), the AKARI catalogue (Cat. II/297), the ROSAT Bright Source Catalogue (IX/10) and Faint Source (IX/29) Catalogues, the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (B/gcvs) and the Northern Sky Variability Survey. Also, we have added updated SIMBAD data for the objects. We present accurate Digitized Sky Survey 2 positions, approximate spectral subtypes refined from the DFBS low-dispersion spectra, luminosity classes estimated from 2MASS colours and available proper motions for 1045 FBS late-type stars. The FBS revised and updated catalogue lists a large number of completely new objects, which promise to extend very significantly the census of M giants, faint carbon stars at high Galactic latitudes and M dwarfs in the vicinity of the Sun. We study the complete samples, as well as investigating individual interesting objects up to 16.0-16.5mag in visual.

- Title:
- Revised LGGS UBVRI photometry of M31 and M33 stars
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We describe our spectroscopic follow-up to the Local Group Galaxy Survey (LGGS) photometry of M31 and M33. We have obtained new spectroscopy of 1895 stars, allowing us to classify 1496 of them for the first time. Our study has identified many foreground stars, and established membership for hundreds of early- and mid-type supergiants. We have also found nine new candidate luminous blue variables and a previously unrecognized Wolf-Rayet star. We republish the LGGS M31 and M33 catalogs with improved coordinates, and including spectroscopy from the literature and our new results. The spectroscopy in this paper is responsible for the vast majority of the stellar classifications in these two nearby spiral neighbors. The most luminous (and hence massive) of the stars in our sample are early-type B supergiants, as expected; the more massive O stars are more rare and fainter visually, and thus mostly remain unobserved so far. The majority of the unevolved stars in our sample are in the 20-40M_{Sun}_ range.
