Spectroscopic study of the open cluster Blanco 1
Aims: As a part of our program on binaries in open clusters, we presenta spectroscopic study of the bright stars of Blanco 1 aimed at detectingand characterizing spectroscopic binaries. Methods: Forty fivestars previously mentioned as cluster candidates, plus another 24 starsin a wider region around the cluster were observed repeatedly during 6years, with a spectral resolving power 13 300. Radial velocities weremeasured by cross-correlations. Results: We obtained a meancluster velocity of 6.2 ± 0.3 km s-1 and determinedkinematic membership. Eleven spectroscopic binaries were detected, andorbital solutions are presented for eight of them. Six binaries areconfirmed to be members of the cluster. All of them are single-linedspectroscopic systems with periods in the range 1.9-1380 days.Considering all suspected binaries, the cluster binary frequency amountsto about 50%.Based on observations obtained at the Complejo Astronómico ElLeoncito (CASLEO), Argentina.
| SANTIAGO 91, a right ascension catalogue of 3387 stars (equinox J2000).
The positions in right ascension of 3387 stars belonging to the Santiago67 Catalogue, observed with the Repsold Meridian Circle at Cerro Calan,National Astronomical Observatory, during the period 1989 to 1994, aregiven. The average mean square error of a position, for the wholeCatalogue, is +/-0.009 s. The mean epoch of the catalogue is 1991.84.
| UBV and uvby-beta photometry of stars in the region of the Zeta SCULPTORIS cluster
Photoelectric observations of 130 stars in the region of Zeta Sculptorishave been obtained in UBV and uvby-beta. A total of 32 stars areidentified as cluster members, and several other F and G type stars areidentified as probable members. Results indicate an interstellarreddening of E(B-V) = 0.02 mag and that the cluster is slightly metaldeficient.
