Effective temperature scale and bolometric corrections from 2MASS photometry
We present a method to determine effective temperatures, angularsemi-diameters and bolometric corrections for population I and II FGKtype stars based on V and 2MASS IR photometry. Accurate calibration isaccomplished by using a sample of solar analogues, whose averagetemperature is assumed to be equal to the solar effective temperature of5777 K. By taking into account all possible sources of error we estimateassociated uncertainties to better than 1% in effective temperature andin the range 1.0-2.5% in angular semi-diameter for unreddened stars.Comparison of our new temperatures with other determinations extractedfrom the literature indicates, in general, remarkably good agreement.These results suggest that the effective temperaure scale of FGK starsis currently established with an accuracy better than 0.5%-1%. Theapplication of the method to a sample of 10 999 dwarfs in the Hipparcoscatalogue allows us to define temperature and bolometric correction (Kband) calibrations as a function of (V-K), [m/H] and log g. Bolometriccorrections in the V and K bands as a function of T_eff, [m/H] and log gare also given. We provide effective temperatures, angularsemi-diameters, radii and bolometric corrections in the V and K bandsfor the 10 999 FGK stars in our sample with the correspondinguncertainties.

Computing the Parallax of the Pleiades from the Hipparcos Intermediate Astrometry Data: An Alternative Approach
The inconsistency between the mean parallax of the Pleidaes open clusterfrom the Hipparcos catalog and that obtained from the stellar evolutiontheory and photometric measurements is probed by recomputing theHipparcos data in a different way that reduces the propagation of thealong-scan attitude errors. This is achieved by coupling observations ofstars made nearly simultaneously in the two separate fields of view ofthe telescope. A direct calculation of astrometric quantities of 54Pleiades members by the new method, based on the Intermediate AstrometryData, provides a correction of -0.71+/-0.14 mas to the weighted meanparallax of the cluster. The mean corrected parallax of the Pleiades is7.75+/-0.20 mas.

Astrometric radial velocities. III. Hipparcos measurements of nearby star clusters and associations
Radial motions of stars in nearby moving clusters are determined fromaccurate proper motions and trigonometric parallaxes, without any use ofspectroscopy. Assuming that cluster members share the same velocityvector (apart from a random dispersion), we apply a maximum-likelihoodmethod on astrometric data from Hipparcos to compute radial and spacevelocities (and their dispersions) in the Ursa Major, Hyades, ComaBerenices, Pleiades, and Praesepe clusters, and for theScorpius-Centaurus, alpha Persei, and ``HIP 98321'' associations. Theradial motion of the Hyades cluster is determined to within 0.4 kms-1 (standard error), and that of its individual stars towithin 0.6 km s-1. For other clusters, Hipparcos data yieldastrometric radial velocities with typical accuracies of a few kms-1. A comparison of these astrometric values withspectroscopic radial velocities in the literature shows a good generalagreement and, in the case of the best-determined Hyades cluster, alsopermits searches for subtle astrophysical differences, such as evidencefor enhanced convective blueshifts of F-dwarf spectra, and decreasedgravitational redshifts in giants. Similar comparisons for the ScorpiusOB2 complex indicate some expansion of its associations, albeit slowerthan expected from their ages. As a by-product from the radial-velocitysolutions, kinematically improved parallaxes for individual stars areobtained, enabling Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams with unprecedentedaccuracy in luminosity. For the Hyades (parallax accuracy 0.3 mas), itsmain sequence resembles a thin line, possibly with wiggles in it.Although this main sequence has underpopulated regions at certaincolours (previously suggested to be ``Böhm-Vitense gaps''), suchare not visible for other clusters, and are probably spurious. Futurespace astrometry missions carry a great potential for absoluteradial-velocity determinations, insensitive to the complexities ofstellar spectra.

A search for previously unrecognized metal-poor subdwarfs in the Hipparcos astrometric catalogue
We have identified 317 stars included in the Hipparcos astrometriccatalogue that have parallaxes measured to a precision of better than 15per cent, and the location of which in the(MV,(B-V)T) diagram implies a metallicitycomparable to or less than that of the intermediate-abundance globularcluster M5. We have undertaken an extensive literature search to locateStrömgren, Johnson/Cousins and Walraven photometry for over 120stars. In addition, we present new UBV(RI)C photometry of 201of these candidate halo stars, together with similar data for a further14 known metal-poor subdwarfs. These observations provide the firstextensive data set of RCIC photometry ofmetal-poor, main-sequence stars with well-determined trigonometricparallaxes. Finally, we have obtained intermediate-resolution opticalspectroscopy of 175 stars. 47 stars still lack sufficient supplementaryobservations for population classification; however, we are able toestimate abundances for 270 stars, or over 80 per cent of the sample.The overwhelming majority have near-solar abundance, with theirinclusion in the present sample stemming from errors in the colourslisted in the Hipparcos catalogue. Only 44 stars show consistentevidence of abundances below [Fe/H]=-1.0. Nine are additions to thesmall sample of metal-poor subdwarfs with accurate photometry. Weconsider briefly the implication of these results for clustermain-sequence fitting.

The Physical Basis of Luminosity Classification in the Late A-, F-, and Early G-Type Stars. II. Basic Parameters of Program Stars and the Role of Microturbulence
Paper I of this series presented precise MK spectral types for 372 lateA-, F-, and early G-type stars with the aim of understanding the natureof luminosity classification on the MK spectral classification systemfor this range of spectral types. In this paper, a multidimensionaldownhill simplex technique is introduced to determine the basicparameters of the program stars from fits of synthetic spectra andfluxes with observed spectra and fluxes from Strömgren uvbyphotometry. This exercise yields useful calibrations of the MK spectralclassification system but, most importantly, gives insight into thephysical nature of luminosity classification on the MK spectralclassification system. In particular, we find that in this range ofspectral types, microturbulence appears to be at least as important asgravity in determining the MK luminosity type.

The Physical Basis of Luminosity Classification in the Late A-, F-, and Early G-Type Stars. I. Precise Spectral Types for 372 Stars
This is the first in a series of two papers that address the problem ofthe physical nature of luminosity classification in the late A-, F-, andearly G-type stars. In this paper, we present precise spectralclassifications of 372 stars on the MK system. For those stars in theset with Strömgren uvbyβ photometry, we derive reddenings andpresent a calibration of MK temperature types in terms of the intrinsicStrömgren (b-y)0 index. We also examine the relationshipbetween the luminosity class and the Strömgren c1 index,which measures the Balmer jump. The second paper will address thederivation of the physical parameters of these stars, and therelationships between these physical parameters and the luminosityclass. Stars classified in this paper include one new λ Bootisstar and 10 of the F- and G-type dwarfs with recently discoveredplanets.

Chromospheric activity in the late A- and early F-type stars of open clusters - II. Pleiades and Alpha Persei
We report observations of the Hei λ5876 (D3) line in the late A-and early F-type stars in the Pleiades and Alpha Persei star clustersused to determine chromospheric activity levels. This represents thefirst sample of young stars in this temperature range with chromosphericactivity measurements. We find the same average activity level in theyoung early F stars as in Hyades-age stars and field stars. In addition,the young star sample shows the same large star-to-star variation inactivity as seen in the older stars. Thus, as a whole, chromosphericactivity in this photospheric temperature range remains the same overnearly a factor of 100 in stellar age (50Myr to 3Gyr), in strikingcontrast to the behaviour of later-type stars. In the five late A starswe find three certain detections of D3 and one likely detection. Thisincludes the bluest star yet observed with a chromospheric D3 line,Pleiades star HII 1362 at (B-V)0=0.22, making it one of theearliest stars with an observed chromosphere. The late A stars have D3equivalent widths comparable to the weakest early F stars. However, whencomparing D3 measurements in the young late A stars with older late Astars, we find evidence for a slight decrease in activity with age basedon the large number of non-detections in the older stars. We find anapparently linear relationship between the activity upper limit and B-Vover our entire range of B-V. Extrapolated blueward, this relationshippredicts that the chromospheric D3 line would disappear for all stars atB-V ~0.13.

Search for gamma Doradus variable stars in the Pleiades cluster
Photometric observations in the uvbybeta system of A-F type stars in thePleiades cluster have been performed in order to detect pulsatingvariable stars of gamma Doradus type in the lower part of the Cepheidinstability strip. In order to obtain more information about thebehaviour of the studied objects and to be able to distinguish betweenlong period variable and non-variable stars, two statistical methodshave been developed. Several of these stars show some type ofvariability but only two of the observed objects, H1284 and S29, can besafely classified as gamma Dor stars. Furthermore, these observationshave provided us with Strömgren and Hβ photometry,non-existing up to now for some of them, which permitted us to perform aphotometric study of the Pleiades cluster.

Statistics of binaries in the Pleiades cluster
We present a statistical analysis of binaries in galactic clusters,based on photometric properties. Synthetic clusters are used to solvethe deconvolution problem. If the colour-magnitude relation for singlestars is given and if triple stars are treated as binaries, thedistribution of systems in a colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) can be usedto determine cluster properties. They include the maximum number ofsingle stars N1max which is compatible with the distributionof systems, a standard deviation sigma (describing the scatter of starson the main sequence), a critical mass ratio q_c, and the mass ratiodistribution in the case of N_1=N1max. In the general case(N_1<= N1max) the mass ratio distribution can bedetermined for q>q_c, and in favourable cases (if N_1 is sufficientlylarge) for all mass ratios. A first application concerns thePleiades cluster in the colour range 0.2<= B-V<0.98. The concentration of systems near the main sequence in the CMDis used to derive an approximation for the colour-magnitude relation. Asmall positive number c is involved as a parameter. The mass ratiodistribution depends sensitively on c and increases towards small massratios, at least up to q =~ 0.5 and probably up to q =~ 0.3. Thedistribution is bimodal, with a peak at q=1. Photometric arguments showthat c<~ 0.02. A binary frequency of 60-70% as expected from clustersimulations (Kroupa \cite{krou}) requires c<~ 0.03. An adjustment oftwo parameters (c=0.02 and a 70% binary frequency) is sufficient toreproduce the mass ratio distribution for binaries in the galacticfield. This suggests that the mass ratio distribution in the Pleiades issimilar to the distribution in the field, in accordance with aconjecture of Bouvier et al. (\cite{brn}, BRN).

Open clusters with Hipparcos. I. Mean astrometric parameters
New memberships, mean parallaxes and proper motions of all 9 openclusters closer than 300 pc (except the Hyades) and 9rich clusters between 300 and 500 pc have been computed using Hipparcosdata. Precisions, ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 mas for parallaxes and 0.1 to0.5 mas/yr for proper motions, are of great interest for calibratingphotometric parallaxes as well as for kinematical studies. Carefulinvestigations of possible biases have been performed and no evidence ofsignificant systematic errors on the mean cluster parallaxes has beenfound. The distances and proper motions of 32 more distant clusters,which may be used statistically, are also indicated. Based onobservations made with the ESA Hipparcos astrometry satellite

Deep ROSAT HRI observations of the Pleiades
In a deep X-ray survey of the Pleiades open cluster, we use the ROSATHigh Resolution Imager to explore a region of the cluster formerlysurveyed with the PSPC. These new observations substantially improveupon both the sensitivity and the spatial resolution for this region ofthe Pleiades, allowing us to detect 18 cluster members not detectedbefore and 16 members not included in the catalogs used in previoussurveys. The high sensitivity of the present observations permits us toobtain more stringent upper limits for 72 additional members and alsoprovides sufficient numbers of stars to enable us to explore thedependence of L_x on stellar rotation for the slow rotators of thePleiades. Using the new high sensitivity X-ray observations and therecent rotational measurements we discuss the activity-rotationrelationship in the Pleiades solar type stars. We also present newphotometric observations of optical counterparts of a number of X-raysources detected in previous surveys but not yet identified.

The Pleiades and alpha Persei Clusters
The upper-main-sequence members of the Pleiades and alpha Perseiclusters, considered as members of the Local Association, yield meanparallaxes that are only 4% larger than the mean values from Hipparcosobservations. The (log T_eff, M_V) diagram reveals that in thetemperature range from 6000 to 8000 K, the Hyades and alpha Perseimain-sequence members are nearly identical and several tenths of amagnitude brighter than similar stars on the Pleiades main sequence. Thedeparture of the Pleiades main sequence cannot be traced to either ageor heavy-element abundance differences in the range thought to apply tothese clusters. A 50% increase in the helium abundance of Pleiades overHyades stars could account for the luminosity difference. Alternativeexplanations are that the Pleiades cluster is rejected from superclustermembership and/or that the Hipparcos parallax results for the Pleiadesare in error by some 10%.

Investigation of the Pleiades cluster. IV. The radial structure
On the basis of the best available member list and duplicityinformation, we have studied the radial distribution of 270 stars andmultiple systems earlier than K0 in the Pleiades. Five new long periodspectroscopic binaries have been identified from the CORAVELobservations. We have found a clear mass segregation between binariesand single stars, which is explained by the greater average mass of themultiple systems. The mass function of the single stars and primariesappears to be significantly different. While the central part of thecluster is spherical, the outer part is clearly elliptical, with anellipticity of 0.17. The various parameters describing the Pleiades are(for a distance of 125 pc): core radius rc = 0fdg6 (1.4 pc),tidal radius rt = 7fdg4 (16 pc), half mass radius r_{m/2} =0fdg88 (1.9 pc), harmonic radius /line{r} = 1fdg82 (4 pc). Low-massstars (later than K0) probably extend further out and new proper motionand radial velocity surveys over a larger area and to fainter magnitudeswould be very important to improve the description of the clusterstructure and complete mass function.

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.

Thecatalogue is based on MAMA measurements of 8 plates taken with theTautenburg Schmidt telescope. The survey includes ca. 14500 stars andcovers a total field of about 9 square degrees. For stars brighter thanB=18mag an internal accuracy of 0.05mag and 2.5mas/year has beenestimated for photometric data and proper motions, respectively.Membership probabilities, proper motions and B, V magnitudes are listedfor 442 stars up to B=19mag in the Pleiades field.

The evolution of the lithium abundances of solar-type stars. III - The Pleiades
New measurements of lithium in more than 100 Pleiades F, G, and K dwarfsare reported. Abundances are determined from spectrum synthesis fits tothe data as well as from use of new covers of growth from the Li 6708-Afeature. It is argued that most Late-F and early-G dwarfs in thePleiades are consistent with the tight N(Li) vs mass relation seen inthe Hyades in the same mass range. Most Li-rich stars have abundances ator near the primordial level for Population I, and none exceed thatlevel by a significant amount. At any given color the stars that rotatefast have the most Li and have the strongest chromospheric activity.Ways in which an apparent spread in N(Li) could arise from anintrinsically tight n(Li)-mass relation are considered, and it isconcluded that the spread is probably real and is not an artifact ofline formation conditions or inhomogeneous atmospheres on the stars.

A catalogue of Fe/H determinations - 1991 edition
A revised version of the catalog of Fe/H determinations published by G.Cayrel et al. (1985) is presented. The catalog contains 3252 Fe/Hdeterminations for 1676 stars. The literature is complete up to December1990. The catalog includes only Fe/H determinations obtained from highresolution spectroscopic observations based on detailed spectroscopicanalyses, most of them carried out with model atmospheres. The catalogcontains a good number of Fe/H determinations for stars from open andglobular clusters and for some supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds.

Radial velocity measurements in the Pleiades
High-resolution radial velocities for 71 stars of both early and latespectral types in the Pleiades cluster have been obtained in order toinvestigate the possibility of establishing an early-type star velocitysystem by bootstrapping late-type velocity standards to early-type onesin young clusters. It is shown that in the absence of early-typevelocity standards the velocity scale of the early-type spectra in thecluster can be tied into the IAU velocity system by examining thevelocity distributions of both the early-type and the late-type stars,since the internal velocity dispersion in an open cluster is less thanabout 1 km/s. It is found that the cluster velocity of the Pleiades is6.0 km/s, with an observed velocity dispersion of 1 km/s. Based on thesevelocity results, a list of potentially constant velocity B and A starsis proposed for further studies to confirm the constancy of theirvelocities.

Lithium, age, and metallicity in open clusters
It is shown that a strong relationship exists between Li abundance andage for stars in the temperature region 5950-6350 K. The relation isderived from mean Li abundances in eight open clusters ranging in agefrom 5 x 10 to the 7th to 8 x 10 to the 9th yr. The Li declinesexponentially with t exp(-0.3). It is suggested that, in thistemperature regime, simple microscopic diffusion is the cause of the Lidepletion. It is possible that there is a metallicity term in therelation, such that higher metallicity clusters with deeper convectionzones have less Li depletion, while lower metallicity cluster undergogreater depletion. This is consistent with expectations from diffusiontheory. Furthermore, the halo stars, with even lower metallicity andshallower convection zones, would have more diffusion and more Lidepletion; this is in agreement with recent theoretical work.

Chemical composition of open clusters. I - Fe/H from high-resolution spectroscopy
Using high-resolution spectroscopy, the abundance ratios Fe/H, C/H, andC/Fe were determined for F dwarfs in the Alpha Per, the Pleiades, andthe Hyades clusters; the UMa, Hyades, and Wolf 630 moving groups; and aselection of bright F field dwarfs. The age span of these objects rangesfrom 5 x 10 to the 7th to 2 x 10 to the 9th yr. No evidence was found ofa trend in Fe/H with age for these clusters and groups, but there wereclear differences in Fe/H among these groups, indicating intrinsicdifferences in the metal content of the local gas out of which thesegroups were formed. No evidence was found for a trend of C/H with age ofthese stellar groups, but there were cluster-to-cluster variations,implying differences in the content of carbon in the precluster gas. TheC/H cluster differences followed the same pattern as the Fe/H clusterdifferences and yield C/Fe values which are constant, and equal to thesolar value, in all the groups.

X-ray studies of coeval star samples. II - The Pleiades cluster as observed with the Einstein Observatory
Coronal X-ray emission of the Pleiades stars is investigated, andmaximum likelihood, integral X-ray luminosity functions are computed forPleiades members in selected color-index ranges. A detailed search isconducted for long-term variability in the X-ray emission of those starsobserved more than once. An overall comparison of the survey resultswith those of previous surveys confirms the ubiquity of X-ray emissionin the Pleiades cluster stars and its higher rate of emission withrespect to older stars. It is found that the X-ray emission from dA andearly dF stars cannot be proven to be dissimilar to that of Hyades andfield stars of the same spectral type. The Pleiades cluster members showa real rise of the X-ray luminosity from dA stars to early dF stars.X-ray emission for the young, solarlike Pleiades stars is about twoorders of magnitude more intense than for the nearby solarlike stars.

Chemical abundances and ages of open clusters
The metal content of nine open clusters is discussed with the help ofresults from detailed spectral analyses of main-sequence and slightlyevolved stars, belonging to those clusters. This small sample ofclusters, out of about 1200 known, has, however, the advantage ofrepresenting the whole span of ages of open clusters with two young(Alpha Per, the Pleiades, with five intermediate age, including U Ma,Hyades, Coma, Praesepe, and NGC 752) and with two old (M 67 and NGC 188)clusters. It has also the advantage that the observations of almost allthe stars in these different clusters have been carried out on similar,when not identical telescopes, on similar high-resolution spectrographs,and similar detectors. The high signal/noise spectra of these clusterstars have been reduced with similar procedures, and interpreted withsimilar model atmosphere analyses. In taking into account the error barsattributed to the mean metal content parameter, Fe/H, of each cluster,one may conclude that only the Hyades cluster has a metal content whichdiffers significantly from that of the sun, being between 30 and 40percent higher than that of the sun.

Lithium in old open clusters - NGC 188
Echelle spectra which include the Li I line at 6707 A are reported forseven main-sequence stars and one subgiant in NGC 188. The Li I line isdetected in five of the six dwarfs which are highly probable clustermembers. The derived atmospheric Li/H ratios exceed the solar value byfactors ranging approximately from 10 to 40, although these apparentlyclosely solarlike stars are about twice as old as the sun. The variationof the lithium abundance with stellar mass along the main sequences ofthe Pleiades, the Hyades, NGC 752, and NGC 188 are compared. Theresulting evolutionary pattern indicates that the lithium fraction inthe Galactic gas has shown no appreciable change from Li/H of roughly 10to the -9th since the birth of NGC 188 about 10 Gyr ago, except that theabundance could have been higher by an uncertain but possiblyappreciable factor at the beginning of that epoch.

Lithium in the Pleiades and Alpha Persei clusters
Observations of the Li region in the 23 F dwarfs of the Pleiades andAlpha Per clusters were performed with a TI CCD at the coudespectrographof the 200-inch telescope with a spectral resolution of 0.2 A and 2sigma signal-to-noise ratios of 100-300. All 21 of the stars observed inthe temperature region of 6100-7300 K show strong Li I lines with valuesof log N(Li) near 3.0; the mean is 2.98 + or - 0.13. The data suggestthat the significant decrease in surface Li, possibly caused bydiffusion or differential rotation, occurs for cluster stars between theages of 5 x 10 to the 7th to 5 x 10 to the 8th yr.

The abundance of lithium in pleiades F stars
The abundance of lithium has been determined for 18 stars in thePleiades cluster with spectral types from A7V to G0V. The pronounced dipin the lithium abundance among the mid-F stars which has been reportedfor other, older star clusters is not present in the Pleiades. Theremoval of lithium from the surfaces of middle-F dwarfs therefore occursprincipally after about 100 Myr on the main sequence.
