Lightcurves of selected minor planets. We present 81 photometric lightcurves of 36 minor planets observed inthe V and B bands at the ESO 50 cm telescope at La Silla (Chile). Theseasteroids were selected preferentially in order to improve theirecliptic longitude coverage in view of pole determinations andlightcurve inversions. We also give some first photometric observationsand/or rotational period for several asteroids.
Walraven photometry of nearby southern OB associations Homogeneous Walraven (VBLUW) photometry is presented for 5260 stars inthe regions of five nearby southern OB associations: Scorpio Centaurus(Sco OB2), Orion OB1, Canis Major OB1, Monoceros OB1, and Scutum OB2.Derived V and (B - V) in the Johnson system are included.
Population studies. IV - The Rose 'red horizontal branch' candidates as probes of the thick disk DDO observations are reported for 10 of the Upgren (1962) red giantswhich Rose (1985) has identified as red horizontal branch (RHB) stars ofa globular cluster type population in the Gilmore-Reid thick disk. It isshown here that, while in the final analysis Rose's hypothesis may becorrect, it is not unique, and that his RHB candidates have all thecharacteristics of clump stars in the old, metal-deficient, open clusterNGC 2243. The only way to test Rose's hypothesis in an unambiguous wayis to analyze a complete sample of stars having colors in the range B-Vbetween 0.7 and 0.95, rather than one chosen by spectral-type criteria.
