The multiplicity of exoplanet host stars. Spectroscopic confirmation of the companions GJ 3021 B and HD 27442 B, one new planet host triple-star system, and global statistics
Aims.We present new results from our ongoing multiplicity study ofexoplanet host stars and present a list of 29 confirmed planet hostmultiple-star systems. Furthermore, we discuss the properties of thesestellar systems and compare the properties of exoplanets detected inthese systems with those of planets orbiting single stars. Methods: Weused direct imaging to search for wide stellar and substellar companionsof exoplanet host stars. With infrared and/or optical spectroscopy, wedetermined the spectral properties of the newly-found co-movingcompanions. Results: We obtained infrared H- and K-band spectra of theco-moving companion GJ 3021 B. The infrared spectra and the apparentH-band photometry of the companion is consistent with an M3-M5 dwarf atthe distance of the exoplanet host star. HD 40979 AB is a wide planethost stellar system, with a separation of ~ 6400 AU. The companion tothe exoplanet host star turned out to be a close stellar pair with aprojected separation of ~130 AU, hence, this system is a new member ofthose rare planet host triple-star systems of which only three othersystems are presently known. HD 27442 AB is a wide binary system listedin the Washington Double Star Catalogue, whose common proper motion wasrecently confirmed. This system is composed of the subgiant HD 27442 Ahosting the exoplanet, and its faint companion HD 27442 B. The visibleand infrared J-, H-, and K_S-band photometry of HD 27442 B at thedistance of the primary star shows that the companion is probably awhite dwarf. Our multi-epochs SofI imaging observations confirm thisresult and even refine the suggested physical characteristics of HD27442 B. This companion should be a relatively young, hot white dwarfwith an effective temperature of ~14 400 K, and cooling age of ~220 Myr.Finally, we could unambiguously confirm the white dwarf nature of HD27442 B with follow-up optical and infrared spectroscopy. The spectra ofthe companion show Hydrogen absorption features of the Balmer, Paschen,and Bracket series. With its subgiant primary and the white-dwarfcompanion, the HD 27442 AB system is the most evolved planet hoststellar system known today. The mass-period and eccentricity-periodcorrelation of planets around single stars and those residing inmultiple-star systems seem different for the short-period planets. Thedistribution functions of planet orbital elements (P, e) are identical,while the mass-distribution (m sin(i)) exhibits one difference. Whileboth planet populations exhibit a peak in their mass-distribution atabout 1 M_Jup, the frequency of more massive planets continuallydecreases in single-star systems, whereas the mass-distribution ofplanets residing in multiple-star systems exhibits a further peak atabout 4 M_Jup. This indicates that the mass-distributions of the twoplanet populations might differ in the intermediate mass-range between 2and 6 M_Jup.Based on observations obtained on La Silla in ESO programs 70.C-0116(A),71.C-0140(A), 73.C-0103(A), and on Paranal in ESO runs 074.C-0144(B),074.C-0144(C), 073.C-0370(A), on Mauna Kea in UKIRT program U/02A/16, aswell as at the Munich LMU University Observatory on Mount Wendelstein.

| 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.
| Empirical temperature calibrations for early-type stars
Three temperature calibrations of suitable photometric quantities havebeen derived for O and B stars. A sample of 120 stars with reliableT(eff.) determinations has been used for establishing each calibration.The different calibrations have been critically discussed and compared.Temperature determinations for 1009 program stars have been obtainedwith an accuracy of the order of 10 percent.
| Catalog of O-B stars observed with Tokyo Meridian Circle
A catalog of the O-B stars, selected from 'Blaauw-Parenago' list andRubin's catalog, has been compiled on the FK4 system by the observationsmade with Gautier 8-inch Meridian Circle at the Tokyo AstronomicalObservatory during the period, 1971 to 1979. It contains 1059 stars andwas compiled for the future establishment of high precision propermotions of O-B stars.
| Meridian observations made with the Carlsberg Automatic Meridian Circle at Brorfelde (Copenhagen University Observatory) 1981-1982
The 7-inch transit circle instrument with which the present position andmagnitude catalog for 1577 stars with visual magnitudes greater than11.0 was obtained had been equipped with a photoelectric moving slitmicrometer and a minicomputer to control the entire observationalprocess. Positions are reduced relative to the FK4 system for each nightover the whole meridian rather than the usual narrow zones. Thepositions of the FK4 stars used in the least squares solution are alsogiven in the catalog.
