CNO in evolved intermediate mass stars
In order to investigate the possible influence of rotation on theefficiency of the first dredge-up we determined atmospheric parameters,masses, and abundances of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in a sample ofevolved intermediate mass stars. We used high resolution spectra andconducted a model atmosphere analysis. The abundances were calculatedthrough spectral synthesis and compared to the predictions of rotatingand non-rotating evolutionary models. Almost all those objects in oursample where carbon and nitrogen abundances could be determined showsigns of internal mixing. The stars, however, seem to be mixed todifferent extents. Among the mixed stars we identify five in our samplewith abundances in agreement with the non-rotating models, four starsthat seem to be mixed beyond that, and one star that seems to beslightly less mixed than predicted for the first dredge-up. There arealso five stars that seem to be slightly more mixed than expected, buttheir abundances are in marginal agreement with both rotating andnon-rotating models. Such differences in the extent of the mixing arenot predicted by the standard models and imply the action of othermixing mechanisms than solely the convective dredge-up. We alsoidentified for the first time an important correlation between the [N/C]ratio and the stellar mass.
| A catalog of rotational and radial velocities for evolved stars. II. Ib supergiant stars
Rotational velocity vsin i and mean radial velocity are presented for asample of 231 Ib supergiant stars covering the spectral region F, G andK. This work is the second part of the large survey carried out with theCORAVEL spectrometer to establish the behavior of the rotation for starsevolving off the main sequence (De Medeiros & Mayor 1999). Thesedata will add constraints to the study of the rotational behavior inevolved stars, as well as solid information concerning tidalinteractions in binary systems and on the link between rotation,chemical abundance and activity in stars of intermediate masses. Basedon observations collected at the Haute-Provence Observatory,Saint-Michel, France and at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla,Chile Table 1 is only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/395/97
| A ROSAT medium-sensitivity Galactic plane survey at 180°< l < 280°
We have performed a moderately deep soft X-ray (0.1-2keV) survey of theGalactic plane using pointed observations with the ROSAT PositionSensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC). The survey is more than an orderof magnitude more sensitive than previous X-ray surveys near theGalactic plane. The data consist of nine fields each of ~10ks exposure,pointed at positions on or very close to the Galactic plane(|b|<0°.3) in the longitude range 180°<~l<~280°.This region has relatively low X-ray absorbing material out to distancesof several hundred pc and presents fewer source-confusion problems thanat other longitudes. The total sky area surveyed was 2.5deg2this yielded 93 sources, 89 of which were detected in the `hard'(0.4-2.0keV) band. Nine sources were detected in both `soft'(0.1-0.4keV) and hard bands. In the hard band, the survey coverage is>~90 per cent for sources brighter than 0.002counts-1(~2×10-14ergcm-2s-1), but fallssteeply below this value, with the weakest sources being~0.001counts-1. The median limiting flux is~0.0013counts-1(~1.3×10-14ergcm-2s-1). There are64 sources with hard-band count rates >0.002counts-1. Wepresent the catalogue of X-ray sources and the number-flux relations(logN-logS). Eighteen sources have possible identifications from theSIMBAD data base. We have searched the Tycho-2 and USNO-A2.0 cataloguesto find all possible optical counterparts brighter than ~19th magnitude,and attempt to classify these on the basis oflog(fX/fopt) versus optical colour diagrams andnear-infrared photometry from the 2MASS Second Incremental Data Release.Hence, we have found the majority of these sources to be consistent withbeing late-type main-sequence stars, as previous studies have proposedfrom incompletely identified surveys. Comparison of the measurednumber-flux relations with predictions of Galactic (stellar) andextragalactic populations supports the view that the population of youngstars in the plane is denser than previously thought.
| ROSAT observation of the giant HII region RCW 49
We have observed the southern emission nebula RCW 49 with the PSPCinstrument on board the ROSAT satellite. Diffuse X-ray emission is seento extend over a large portion of the detector. Two regions of X-rayemission can be identified: one associated to the core of the opticalnebula, where the X-ray correlate with the optical, and a fainter oneanticorrelated with the optical. The young star cluster Westerlund 2 isdetected as peaked emission inside the core region, and is resolved inat least three point sources. The morphology and possible nature of theextended X-ray emission are discussed, together with their interrelationwith other objects in the field. Among the additional point sourcesdetected in the field, two of the three Wolf-Rayet stars present in thisregion are tentatively identified.
| Einstein Observatory magnitude-limited X-ray survey of late-type giant and supergiant stars
Results are presented of an extensive X-ray survey of 380 giant andsupergiant stars of spectral types from F to M, carried out with theEinstein Observatory. It was found that the observed F giants orsubgiants (slightly evolved stars with a mass M less than about 2 solarmasses) are X-ray emitters at the same level of main-sequence stars ofsimilar spectral type. The G giants show a range of emissions more than3 orders of magnitude wide; some single G giants exist with X-rayluminosities comparable to RS CVn systems, while some nearby large Ggiants have upper limits on the X-ray emission below typical solarvalues. The K giants have an observed X-ray emission level significantlylower than F and F giants. None of the 29 M giants were detected, exceptfor one spectroscopic binary.
