Sixth Catalogue of Fundamental Stars (FK6). Part III. Additional fundamental stars with direct solutions
The FK6 is a suitable combination of the results of the HIPPARCOSastrometry satellite with ground-based data, measured over a longinterval of time and summarized mainly in the FK5. Part III of the FK6(abbreviated FK6(III)) contains additional fundamental stars with directsolutions. Such direct solutions are appropriate for single stars or forobjects which can be treated like single stars. Part III of the FK6contains in total 3272 stars. Their ground-based data stem from thebright extension of the FK5 (735 stars), from the catalogue of remainingSup stars (RSup, 732 stars), and from the faint extension of the FK5(1805 stars). From the 3272 stars in Part III, we have selected 1928objects as "astrometrically excellent stars", since their instantaneousproper motions and their mean (time-averaged) ones do not differsignificantly. Hence most of the astrometrically excellent stars arewell-behaving "single-star candidates" with good astrometric data. Thesestars are most suited for high-precision astrometry. On the other hand,354 of the stars in Part III are Δμ binaries in the sense ofWielen et al. (1999). Many of them are newly discovered probablebinaries with no other hitherto known indication of binarity. The FK6gives, besides the classical "single-star mode" solutions (SI mode),other solutions which take into account the fact that hidden astrometricbinaries among "apparently single-stars" introduce sizable "cosmicerrors" into the quasi-instantaneously measured HIPPARCOS proper motionsand positions. The FK6 gives, in addition to the SI mode, the "long-termprediction (LTP) mode" and the "short-term prediction (STP) mode". TheseLTP and STP modes are on average the most precise solutions forapparently single stars, depending on the epoch difference with respectto the HIPPARCOS epoch of about 1991. The typical mean error of anFK6(III) proper motion in the single-star mode is 0.59 mas/year. This isa factor of 1.34 better than the typical HIPPARCOS errors for thesestars of 0.79 mas/year. In the long-term prediction mode, in whichcosmic errors are taken into account, the FK6(III) proper motions have atypical mean error of 0.93 mas/year, which is by a factor of about 2better than the corresponding error for the HIPPARCOS values of 1.83mas/year (cosmic errors included).

Radial velocities. Measurements of 2800 B2-F5 stars for HIPPARCOS
Radial velocities have been determined for a sample of 2930 B2-F5 stars,95% observed by the Hipparcos satellite in the north hemisphere and 80%without reliable radial velocity up to now. Observations were obtainedat the Observatoire de Haute Provence with a dispersion of 80Ä,mm(-1) with the aim of studying stellar and galactic dynamics.Radial velocities have been measured by correlation with templates ofthe same spectral class. The mean obtained precision is 3.0 km s(-1)with three observations. A new MK spectral classification is estimatedfor all stars. Based on observations made at the Haute ProvenceObservatory, France and on data from The Hipparcos Catalogue, ESA.Tables 4, 5 and 6 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.htm

Vitesses radiales. Catalogue WEB: Wilson Evans Batten. Subtittle: Radial velocities: The Wilson-Evans-Batten catalogue.
We give a common version of the two catalogues of Mean Radial Velocitiesby Wilson (1963) and Evans (1978) to which we have added the catalogueof spectroscopic binary systems (Batten et al. 1989). For each star,when possible, we give: 1) an acronym to enter SIMBAD (Set ofIdentifications Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data) ofthe CDS (Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg). 2) the numberHIC of the HIPPARCOS catalogue (Turon 1992). 3) the CCDM number(Catalogue des Composantes des etoiles Doubles et Multiples) byDommanget & Nys (1994). For the cluster stars, a precise study hasbeen done, on the identificator numbers. Numerous remarks point out theproblems we have had to deal with.

LkH-alpha 198 and V 376 Cassiopeiae - Speckle interferometric and polarimetric observations of circumstellar dust
The circumstellar material close to the stellar sources is investigated,and its distribution and its relations to the general optical appearanceand the orientation of the molecular outflow are determined. Speckleobservations were carried out with a near-infrared speckleinterferometer between September 1986 and October 1989. LkH-alpha 198shows a complicated structure without clear alignment, and this is alsotrue on subarcsec (less than 1000 AU) scales. V 376 Cas appears to be abipolar nebula, seen nearly edge-on, oriented at position angle 120 deg.The orientations of LkH-alpha 198 and V 376 show no obvious relationswith the interstellar field direction. The near-infrared albedo ofcircumstellar dust is quite high both in the case of LkH-alpha 198 and V376 Cas, which indicates a larger particle size than typical forinterstellar dust.

Fifth fundamental catalogue. Part 2: The FK5 extension - new fundamental stars
The mean positions and proper motions for 3117 new fundamental starsessentially in the magnitude range about 4.5 to 9.5 are given in thisFK5 extension. Mean apparent visual magnitude is 7.2 and is on average2.5 magnitudes fainter then the basic FK5 which has a mean magnitude of4.7. (The basic FK5 gives the mean positions and proper motions for theclassical 1535 fundamental stars). The following are discussed: theobservational material, reduction of observations, star selection, andthe system for the FK5 extension. An explanation and description of thecatalog are given. The catalog of 3117 fundamental stars for the equinoxand epoch J2000.0 and B1950.0 is presented. The parallaxes and radialvelocities for 22 extension stars with large forecasting effects aregiven. Catalogs used in the compilation of the FK5 fundamental catalogare listed.

TV Cassiopeiae in the Utrecht photometric system
Four UPS light curves of TV Cas are presented. An instantaneous periodanalysis of these curves and previously published data reveals erraticrelative period changes of over 10E-6 a year. The secondary minimumappears to be at phase 0.502. Light curve analysis indicates that thecool component fills its Roche lobe and is of spectral type G5-G9IV.Roche lobe overflow is not sufficient to explain the observed seculardecrease of the period. Other mechanisms may be found in thechromospheric activity of the cool component. This activity is suggestedby the observed small variations in the light curves with acharacteristic period of about a year.

Optical observations of ultraviolet objects. II - Classification and photometry /l = 0 to 145 deg/
UBV photometry and MK spectral classification are presented for a sampleof stars originally selected as UV objects from satellite photometrywith the S2/68 experiment. Although most stars of the sample arespectroscopically normal, a number of hot, subluminous stars were alsofound. Radial velocities are given for some of the stars observed. It isproposed that the majority of the apparently normal early B stars athigh galactic latitudes which are not runaway stars are subluminousdisc-population analogues of horizontal branch B stars of Population II.

A further list and some properties of red degenerates. XI
New multichannel SIT observations of 78 faint stars, including 51 newdegenerates, are given. Helium and carbon stars, and one with a Zeemantriplet (magnetic field), are included. Red subluminous stars aredistinguished by ultraviolet absorption but can be confused with reddegenerates at the multichannel resolution. The sample includes a numberof stars fainter than +15; properties of 25 such faint degenerates aretabulated. Deviations from a smooth interpolation formula show most reddegenerates to be essentially line-free, i.e., to have extremely lowmetal abundance.
