Photometric and Spectroscopic Study of Stars in the Field of the Young Open Cluster Roslund 4
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations performed in thefield of the Galactic open cluster Roslund 4, which contains the twocataloged nebulae IC 4954 and IC 4955. UBVRI photometry was carried outin a field of 11'×6' around the clustercenter. Medium-resolution optical spectroscopy has been obtained for 41stars, including previously selected main-sequence and pre-main-sequencecandidate cluster members. Narrowband Hα, [S II], and continuumimages have been secured. The observations allow us the measurement ofdifferent physical parameters for the cluster. Assuming an absorptioncoefficient AV/E(B-V)=3.1 and a reddening slopeE(U-B)/E(B-V)=0.72, we obtain a color excess E(B-V)=1.1+/-0.2 and adistance modulus DM0=11.7+/-0.5. Fitting of isochrones to thecolor-magnitude diagrams gives logage(yr)=7.2+/-0.2, and thespectroscopic measurements provide the value VR=-15.7+/-5.2km s-1 for the heliocentric radial velocity. Among the 41stars with spectroscopic data, 11 stars are probable cluster members onthe basis of their radial velocity, and another 10 are considered aspossible members. Two probable member stars of spectral types A5 and G1show hints of absorption in the Li I 6708 Å line, with respectiveequivalent widths of 0.10 and 0.28 Å, and 22 stars of spectraltypes from B2 to G0 show different degrees of emission in Hα, [NII], and [S II] lines. With the exception of three stars of spectraltype earlier than A0, the emission of which is mainly photospheric, allother emissions seen in Hα and forbidden lines have a nebularorigin. They arise in an ionized cloud that surrounds the cluster and iscausing diffuse emission and, possibly, local variations in theextinction law from star to star. In addition to the stars, spectra ofseveral nebular condensations with relatively higher excitation havebeen analyzed. Two of them have been suggested to be Herbig-Haro (HH)objects. Our spectra indicate that only one of these condensations couldbe considered as an HH object.
| Speckle Observations of Binary Stars with the WIYN Telescope. III. A Partial Survey of A, F, and G Dwarfs
Two hundred thirty nearby main-sequence stars with spectral types in therange of A to G have been observed by way of speckle interferometryusing the WIYN 3.5 m telescope at Kitt Peak, Arizona. The stars had noprevious mention of duplicity in the literature. Of those observed, 14showed clear evidence of a companion, and 63 were classified assuspected nonsingle based on a power spectrum analysis. The remainingstars discussed show no evidence of duplicity to the limit of thedetection system in high-quality observations. The WIYN Observatory is ajoint facility of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, IndianaUniversity, Yale University, and the National Optical AstronomyObservatory.
| Radial velocities. Measurements of 2800 B2-F5 stars for HIPPARCOS
Radial velocities have been determined for a sample of 2930 B2-F5 stars,95% observed by the Hipparcos satellite in the north hemisphere and 80%without reliable radial velocity up to now. Observations were obtainedat the Observatoire de Haute Provence with a dispersion of 80Ä,mm(-1) with the aim of studying stellar and galactic dynamics.Radial velocities have been measured by correlation with templates ofthe same spectral class. The mean obtained precision is 3.0 km s(-1)with three observations. A new MK spectral classification is estimatedfor all stars. Based on observations made at the Haute ProvenceObservatory, France and on data from The Hipparcos Catalogue, ESA.Tables 4, 5 and 6 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.htm
