The Disk and Environment of the Herbig Be Star HD 100546
Coronagraphic imaging of the nearest Herbig Be star with the SpaceTelescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Hubble SpaceTelescope, Ks (2.15 μm) imaging with ADONIS at the 3.6 m telescope atLa Silla, and mid-infrared imaging with OSCIR using the 4 m BlancoTelescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory confirm thedetection of the disk reported by Pantin et al. and map the disk out to5" (~515 AU) in the optical and at Ks. While the source is unresolved at10 and 18 μm, it can be traced to 1.5" at 11.7 μm. We confirm thechange in the radial dependence of the disk surface brightness near 2.7"seen at 1.6 μm by Augereau et al. at Ks. No such break in the powerlaw is seen in the optical. The STIS data reveal spiral dark lanestructure, making HD 100546 the third near-zero-age main-sequence HerbigAe/Be star with structure more than 100 AU from the star. We alsooptically detect a low surface brightness envelope extending 10" (1000AU) from the star, in addition to nebulosity, which is probablyassociated with DC 292.6-7.9. The survival of the envelope throughessentially the entire pre-main-sequence lifetime of the star, coupledwith the absence of physical companions within 1500 AU of the star,suggests that envelope lifetimes owe more to the star-formingenvironment than to mass-loss activity from the Herbig Ae/Be star. Basedon observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, obtainedat the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by theAssociation of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASAcontract NAS 5-26555. This study is part of the STIS IDT protoplanetarydisk Key Project. This work is also based on observations collected atthe European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile, Proposal ID63.I-0196. This work is also based on observations made at the CerroTololo Inter-American Observatory. CTIO is operated by AURA, Inc., undercooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation.
| Catalogue of Apparent Diameters and Absolute Radii of Stars (CADARS) - Third edition - Comments and statistics
The Catalogue, available at the Centre de Données Stellaires deStrasbourg, consists of 13 573 records concerning the results obtainedfrom different methods for 7778 stars, reported in the literature. Thefollowing data are listed for each star: identifications, apparentmagnitude, spectral type, apparent diameter in arcsec, absolute radiusin solar units, method of determination, reference, remarks. Commentsand statistics obtained from CADARS are given. The Catalogue isavailable in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp tocdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcar?J/A+A/367/521
| On the Variability of Late B III-V Stars
We investigate the Hipparcos Satellite photometry of luminosity classIII-V B6-B9 stars. Most are relatively non-variable. Candidates forwhich further study is desirable are identified.
| A homogeneous catalog of new UBV and H-beta photometry of B- and A-type stars in and around the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association
B- and A-type stars in and near the Sco-Cen OB association areinvestigated with UBV and H-beta photometry to acquire data relevant tothe luminosity function of Sco-Cen. The measurements generally consistof two 10-s integrations of U, B, V, (W, N) filters, and theobservations are corrected iteratively for atmospheric extinction andinstrumental response. The data presented give the mean V magnitude,mean B-V, mean U-B, and the estimated uncertainties for these values.The catalog provides a homogeneous catalog of data for a large fieldwith stellar objects delineating membership to the association Sco-Cenand that affect the luminosity function of the aggregate.
