Speckle Interferometry at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional. II
We present speckle interferometric measurements of binary stars madeduring June of 2009 with the 1.5 m telescope of the ObservatorioAstronómico Nacional at SPM (Mexico). The data contain 189position angle and separation measures of 144 systems. The measuredangular separations range from 0arcsec.16 to 3arcsec.64. The maximummagnitude of the brighter component is 10.96. The mean error inseparation is 0arcsec.02 and in the position angles 1.5°. Some ofthe position angles were determined with the usual 180° ambiguity.
| Two-colour photometry for 9473 components of close Hipparcos double and multiple stars
Using observations obtained with the Tycho instrument of the ESAHipparcos satellite, a two-colour photometry is produced for componentsof more than 7 000 Hipparcos double and multiple stars with angularseparations 0.1 to 2.5 arcsec. We publish 9473 components of 5173systems with separations above 0.3 arcsec. The majority of them did nothave Tycho photometry in the Hipparcos catalogue. The magnitudes arederived in the Tycho B_T and V_T passbands, similar to the Johnsonpassbands. Photometrically resolved components of the binaries withstatistically significant trigonometric parallaxes can be put on an HRdiagram, the majority of them for the first time. Based on observationsmade with the ESA Hipparcos satellite.
| New binary stars (19th series) discovered at Nice
A total of 209 measurements of 100 visual binaries discovered inobservations with the 50-cm refractor at the Observatoire de Nicebetween April 1983 and October 1984 are presented in a table. The formatis the same as that used in the Lick Observatory index catalog (Jeffersand van den Bos, 1963), and the present list brings the total number ofbinaries discovered at Nice to 2250, from observations of 109,004 stars.
| The S201 far-ultraviolet imaging survey. II - A field in Cygnus
Far-ultraviolet imagery of a region in Cygnus, a 20 deg diameter fieldcentered near (1950) R. A. 21 h 31.2 m decl. +37 deg 25 arcmin, wasobtained by the S201 far-ultraviolet camera during the Apollo 16mission. In a 10 minute exposure covering the 1250-1600 A wavelengthrange (effective wavelength 1400 A), 730 star images can be detected,corresponding to a limiting ultraviolet magnitude of about m (1400) =10. Assuming nominal interstellar extinction values in this region nearthe galactic plane, this result corresponds to the detection of A0 Vstars to a distance of 300 pc and of B0 V stars to 1500 pc.Uncertainties in spectral classification and interstellar extinction forindividual objects are probably more significant than calibration ormeasurement errors. Most of the objects detected are identified withstars in the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog (1966),or the Catalog of Stellar Identifications (1979) or both, but 87 objectsremain unidentified (or are identified with late-type stars).
