Search for associations containing young stars (SACY). I. Sample and searching method
We report results from a high-resolution optical spectroscopic surveyaimed to search for nearby young associations and young stars amongoptical counterparts of ROSAT All-Sky Survey X-ray sources in theSouthern Hemisphere. We selected 1953 late-type (B-V~≥~0.6),potentially young, optical counterparts out of a total of 9574 1RXSsources for follow-up observations. At least one high-resolutionspectrum was obtained for each of 1511 targets. This paper is the firstin a series presenting the results of the SACY survey. Here we describeour sample and our observations. We describe a convergence method in the(UVW) velocity space to find associations. As an example, we discuss thevalidity of this method in the framework of the β Pic Association.
| Newly-discovered young stars in Carina and Vela
Recent observations have shown that a substantial population ofpre-main-sequence stars exists within 100 pc of the Sun. Such stars areuseful for constraining disk evolution timescales, given their relativeproximity and their ages in the 10--50 Myr range, filling the gapbetween nearby low-mass star-forming regions with ages of a few Myr andZAMS stars at ages of 100 Myr. We present here the latest results fromour continuing search for such stars.In this work, we have undertaken a search for young stars too faint tobe included in the Hipparcos catalog by looking for x-ray bright Tycho-2stars with kinematics similar to the young Hipparcos stars HIP 33111,33455, 46063, and 48558. These stars lie in the vicinity of (but outsidethe conventional boundaries of) the Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC) OBassociation and the ˜30 Myr-old open cluster IC 2391. There issignificant overlap between the stars selected here and those proposedby Makarov & Urban (2000) as the Carina-Vela moving group, thoughthe stars around HIP 33111 and 33455 lie outside the proposed movinggroup, and also farther from LCC.We present high-resolution optical spectra of more than 60 such stars,from which we derive Li abundances, surface gravities, and preciseradial velocities. Many of these stars are late-type pre-main-sequencestars, showing strong x-ray emission (logLx}/L{bol > -4) and strong Li absorption atlevels similar to the late-type stars in IC 2602 and IC 2391. Most ofthe stars that show strong Li absorption also share similar radialvelocities, clustering around vhelio ? +20 km/s.We present a detailed analysis of these stars' ages and kinematics, andwe discuss their relationship to the other young stars and knownstar-forming regions in the vicinity.We gratefully acknowledge the support of this work by the NationalScience Foundation, through grant AST-0307830.
| A systematic study of X-ray variability in the ROSAT all-sky survey
We present a systematic search for variability among the ROSAT All-SkySurvey (RASS) X-ray sources. We generated lightcurves for about 30 000X-ray point sources detected sufficiently high above background. For ourvariability study different search algorithms were developed in order torecognize flares, periods and trends, respectively. The variable X-raysources were optically identified with counterparts in the SIMBAD, theUSNO-A2.0 and NED data bases, but a significant part of the X-raysources remains without cataloged optical counterparts. Out of the 1207sources classified as variable 767 (63.5%) were identified with stars,118 (9.8%) are of extragalactic origin, 10 (0.8%) are identified withother sources and 312 (25.8%) could not uniquely be identified withentries in optical catalogs. We give a statistical analysis of thevariable X-ray population and present some outstanding examples of X-rayvariability detected in the ROSAT all-sky survey. Most prominent amongthese sources are white dwarfs, apparently single, yet neverthelessshowing periodic variability. Many flares from hitherto unrecognisedflare stars have been detected as well as long term variability in theBL Lac 1E1757.7+7034.The complete version of Table 7 is only available in electronic form atthe CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/403/247
| Kinematics of Hipparcos Visual Binaries. II. Stars with Ground-Based Orbital Solutions
This paper continues kinematical investigations of the Hipparcos visualbinaries with known orbits. A sample, consisting of 804 binary systemswith orbital elements determined from ground-based observations, isselected. The mean relative error of their parallaxes is about 12% andthe mean relative error of proper motions is about 4%. However, even 41%of the sample stars lack radial velocity measurements. The computedGalactic velocity components and other kinematical parameters are usedto divide the stars with known radial velocities into kinematical agegroups. The majority (92%) of binaries from the sample are thin diskstars, 7.6% have thick disk kinematics and only two binaries have halokinematics. Among them, the long-period variable Mira Ceti has a verydiscordant {Hipparcos} and ground-based parallax values. From the wholesample, 60 stars are ascribed to the thick disk and halo population.There is an urgent need to increase the number of the identified halobinaries with known orbits and substantially improve the situation withradial velocity data for stars with known orbits.
| ICCD Speckle Observations of Binary Stars. XXIII. Measurements during 1982-1997 from Six Telescopes, with 14 New Orbits
We present 2017 observations of 1286 binary stars, observed by means ofspeckle interferometry using six telescopes over a 15 year period from1982 April to 1997 June. These measurements constitute the 23dinstallment in CHARA's speckle program at 2 to 4 m class telescopes andinclude the second major collection of measurements from the MountWilson 100 inch (2.5 m) Hooker Telescope. Orbital elements are alsopresented for 14 systems, seven of which have had no previouslypublished orbital analyses.
