Near-infrared cross-dispersed spectroscopy of brown dwarf candidates in the UpperSco association
We present near-infrared (1.15-2.50?m) medium-resolution (R = 1700)spectroscopy of a sample of 23 brown dwarf candidates in the youngUpperSco association. We confirm membership of 21 brown dwarfs based ontheir spectral shape, comparison with field dwarfs and presence of weakgravity-sensitive features. Their spectral types range from M8 to L2with an uncertainty of a subclass, suggesting effective temperaturesbetween 2700 and 1800K with an uncertainty up to 300K and masses in the30-8MJup range. Among the non-members, we have uncovered afield L2 dwarf at a distance of 120-140pc, assuming that it is single.The success rate of our photometric selection based on five photometricpassbands and complemented partly by proper motion is over 90 per cent,a very promising result for future studies of the low-mass star andbrown dwarf populations in young open clusters by the UKIDSS [UKIRT(United Kingdom Infrared Telescope) Infrared Deep Sky Survey] GalacticCluster Survey. We observe a large dispersion in the magnitude versusspectral-type relation which is likely the result of the combination ofseveral effects including age dispersion, extent and depth of theassociation, a high degree of multiplicity and the occurrence of discs.Based on observations obtained with the Gemini Observatory.E-mail: nlodieu@iac.es

| A spectroscopic survey for lambda Bootis stars. II. The observational data
lambda Bootis stars comprise only a small number of all A-type stars andare characterized as nonmagnetic, Population i, late B to early F-typedwarfs which show significant underabundances of metals whereas thelight elements (C, N, O and S) are almost normal abundant compared tothe Sun. In the second paper on a spectroscopic survey for lambda Bootisstars, we present the spectral classifications of all program starsobserved. These stars were selected on the basis of their Strömgrenuvbybeta colors as lambda Bootis candidates. In total, 708 objects insix open clusters, the Orion OB1 association and the Galactic field wereclassified. In addition, 9 serendipity non-candidates in the vicinity ofour program stars as well as 15 Guide Star Catalogue stars were observedresulting in a total of 732 classified stars. The 15 objects from theGuide Star Catalogue are part of a program for the classification ofapparent variable stars from the Fine Guidance Sensors of the HubbleSpace Telescope. A grid of 105 MK standard as well as ``pathological''stars guarantees a precise classification. A comparison of our spectralclassification with the extensive work of Abt & Morrell(\cite{Abt95}) shows no significant differences. The derived types are0.23 +/- 0.09 (rms error per measurement) subclasses later and 0.30 +/-0.08 luminosity classes more luminous than those of Abt & Morrell(\cite{Abt95}) based on a sample of 160 objects in common. The estimatederrors of the means are +/- 0.1 subclasses. The characteristics of oursample are discussed in respect to the distribution on the sky, apparentvisual magnitudes and Strömgren uvbybeta colors. Based onobservations from the Observatoire de Haute-Provence, OsservatorioAstronomico di Padova-Asiago, Observatório do Pico dosDias-LNA/CNPq/MCT, Chews Ridge Observatory (MIRA) and University ofToronto Southern Observatory (Las Campanas).

| 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.
| Radial velocities for early type stars in six galactic regions
Coudespectroscopy has been carried out for 353 stars of spectral typesB0-A0 and V magnitudes between 6.5 and 10.8 m, selected in six regions(three northern and three southern) close to the galactic plane at thegalactic longitudes 135, 175, 315 and 350 deg. The radial velocitieswere obtained by cross-correlating each spectrogram with a referencespectrogram giving an internal error of 1.4 km/s.
