Close binary mass anomalies and metallicity
Direct (radial velocity) and indirect (spectral type, luminosity class)mass determinations for luminosity class V binaries are compared. Theexistence of statistical biases or apparently irreconcilable individualdiscrepancies, or both, in the data is examined, and their explanationby astrophysical effects such as chemical composition and agedifferences is considered. The existence of residual discrepancies,after correction for chemical composition effects and statisticalallowance for age effects, which could only be due to otherastrophysical effects, to instrumental effects, or to selection effects,is investigated. A need for at least one additional astrophysicaleffect, suspected to be fast core rotation, is found in a few binaries.It is argued that some remaining evidence for systematic observationalerrors is more likely to be the result of selection effects rather thanan instrumental effect.
| The South Galactic Pole - Results from uvby-beta photometry of 572 O-F stars
Photometric observations on the uvby-beta system are presented for 572O-F stars within about 20 deg of the South Galactic Pole. Theinterstellar extinction near the pole is found to be zero out to 400 pcfrom the sun, in agreement with the H I maps of Burstein and Heiles(1982). Several evolved and Population II objects are identified.
