Kinematic structure of the corona of the Ursa Major flow found using proper motions and radial velocities of single stars
Aims.We study the kinematic structure of peripheral areas of the UrsaMajoris stream (Sirius supercluster). Methods.We use diagrams ofindividual stellar apexes developed by us and the classical technique ofproper motion diagrams generalized to a star sample distributed over thesky. Results.Out of 128 cluster members we have identified threecorona (sub)structures comprised of 13, 13 and 8 stars. Thesubstructures have a spatial extension comparable to the size of thecorona. Kinematically, these groups are distinguished by their propermotions, radial velocities and by the directions of their spatialmotion. Coordinates of their apexes significantly differ from those ofthe apexes of the stream and its nucleus. Our analysis shows that thesesubstructures do not belong to known kinematic groups, such as Hyades orCastor. We find kinematic inhomogeneity of the corona of the UMa stream.
| uvby FCAPT Photometry of the Magnetic Chemically Peculiar Stars 36 Aurigae, HR 2722, 13 Andromedae, and HD 220147
Differential Strömgren uvby observations obtained with the FourCollege Automated Photoelectric Telescope (FCAPT) are presented for themagnetic chemically peculiar (mCP) stars 36 Aur, HR 2722, 13 And, and HD220147. The new data help to better define the light curves. The periodfor 36 Aur was found to be 14.368 days, close to that for the previousstudy with FCAPT data. The period for HR 2722 is unchanged, at 2.31523days. Comparisons between Hipparcos and FCAPT photometry were used torefine the periods individually derived by each source to 1.47931 daysfor 13 And and to 10.983 days for HD 220147.
| A near-infrared study of the bow shocks within the L1634 protostellar outflow
The L1634 bright-rimmed globule contains an intriguing arrangement ofshock structures: two series of aligned molecular shock waves associatedwith the Herbig-Haro flows HH 240 and HH 241. We present near-infraredspectroscopy and narrow-band imaging in the (1, 0) S(1) and (2, 1) S(1)emission lines of molecular hydrogen. These observations yield thespatial distributions of both the molecular excitation and velocity,which demonstrate distinct properties for the individual bow shocks. Bowshock models are applied, varying the shock physics, geometry, speed,density and magnetic field properties to fit two prominent bow shocks.The models predict that both bows move at 60o to the plane ofthe sky. High magnetic fields and low molecular fractions are implied.The advancing compact bow HH 240C is interpreted as a J-type bow(frozen-in magnetic field) with the flanks in transition to C-type(field diffusion). It is a paraboloidal bow of speed 42 kms-1 entering a medium of quite high density (2 ×104 cm-3). The following bow HH 240A is fasterdespite a lower excitation, moving through a lower density medium. Wefind a C-type bow shock model to fit all the data for HH 240A. Thefavoured bow models are then tested comprehensively against publishedH2 emission line fluxes and CO spectroscopy. We concludethat, while the CO emission originates from cloud gas directly set inmotion, the H2 emission is generated from shocks sweepingthrough an outflow. Also considering optical data, we arrive at a globaloutflow model involving episodic slow-precessing twin jets.
| L' and M' standard stars for the Mauna Kea Observatories Near-Infrared system
We present L' and M' photometry, obtained at the United Kingdom InfraredTelescope (UKIRT) using the Mauna Kea Observatories Near-Infrared(MKO-NIR) filter set, for 46 and 31 standard stars, respectively. The L'standards include 25 from the in-house `UKIRT Bright Standards' withmagnitudes deriving from Elias et al. and observations at the InfraredTelescope Facility in the early 1980s, and 21 fainter stars. The M'magnitudes derive from the results of Sinton and Tittemore. We estimatethe average external error to be 0.015 mag for the bright L' standardsand 0.025 mag for the fainter L' standards, and 0.026 mag for the M'standards. The new results provide a network of homogeneously observedstandards, and establish reference stars for the MKO system, in thesebands. They also extend the available standards to magnitudes whichshould be faint enough to be accessible for observations with moderndetectors on large and very large telescopes.
| Stellar Kinematic Groups. II. A Reexamination of the Membership, Activity, and Age of the Ursa Major Group
Utilizing Hipparcos parallaxes, original radial velocities and recentliterature values, new Ca II H and K emission measurements,literature-based abundance estimates, and updated photometry (includingrecent resolved measurements of close doubles), we revisit the UrsaMajor moving group membership status of some 220 stars to produce afinal clean list of nearly 60 assured members, based on kinematic andphotometric criteria. Scatter in the velocity dispersions and H-Rdiagram is correlated with trial activity-based membership assignments,indicating the usefulness of criteria based on photometric andchromospheric emission to examine membership. Closer inspection,however, shows that activity is considerably more robust at excludingmembership, failing to do so only for <=15% of objects, perhapsconsiderably less. Our UMa members demonstrate nonzero vertex deviationin the Bottlinger diagram, behavior seen in older and recent studies ofnearby young disk stars and perhaps related to Galactic spiralstructure. Comparison of isochrones and our final UMa group membersindicates an age of 500+/-100 Myr, some 200 Myr older than thecanonically quoted UMa age. Our UMa kinematic/photometric members' meanchromospheric emission levels, rotational velocities, and scattertherein are indistinguishable from values in the Hyades and smaller thanthose evinced by members of the younger Pleiades and M34 clusters,suggesting these characteristics decline rapidly with age over 200-500Myr. None of our UMa members demonstrate inordinately low absolutevalues of chromospheric emission, but several may show residual fluxes afactor of >=2 below a Hyades-defined lower envelope. If one defines aMaunder-like minimum in a relative sense, then the UMa results maysuggest that solar-type stars spend 10% of their entire main-sequencelives in periods of precipitously low activity, which is consistent withestimates from older field stars. As related asides, we note six evolvedstars (among our UMa nonmembers) with distinctive kinematics that liealong a 2 Gyr isochrone and appear to be late-type counterparts to diskF stars defining intermediate-age star streams in previous studies,identify a small number of potentially very young but isolated fieldstars, note that active stars (whether UMa members or not) in our samplelie very close to the solar composition zero-age main sequence, unlikeHipparcos-based positions in the H-R diagram of Pleiades dwarfs, andargue that some extant transformations of activity indices are notadequate for cool dwarfs, for which Ca II infrared triplet emissionseems to be a better proxy than Hα-based values for Ca II H and Kindices.
| Rotational velocities of A-type stars in the northern hemisphere. II. Measurement of v sin i
This work is the second part of the set of measurements of v sin i forA-type stars, begun by Royer et al. (\cite{Ror_02a}). Spectra of 249 B8to F2-type stars brighter than V=7 have been collected at Observatoirede Haute-Provence (OHP). Fourier transforms of several line profiles inthe range 4200-4600 Å are used to derive v sin i from thefrequency of the first zero. Statistical analysis of the sampleindicates that measurement error mainly depends on v sin i and thisrelative error of the rotational velocity is found to be about 5% onaverage. The systematic shift with respect to standard values fromSlettebak et al. (\cite{Slk_75}), previously found in the first paper,is here confirmed. Comparisons with data from the literature agree withour findings: v sin i values from Slettebak et al. are underestimatedand the relation between both scales follows a linear law ensuremath vsin inew = 1.03 v sin iold+7.7. Finally, thesedata are combined with those from the previous paper (Royer et al.\cite{Ror_02a}), together with the catalogue of Abt & Morrell(\cite{AbtMol95}). The resulting sample includes some 2150 stars withhomogenized rotational velocities. Based on observations made atObservatoire de Haute Provence (CNRS), France.

| UVBY Photometry of the Magnetic Chemically Peculiar Stars HR 1297, 36 Aurigae, and HR 2722 and the Nonmagnetic Chemically Peculiar Stars HR 1576 and alpha CANCRI
Differential Strömgren uvby photometric observations from the FourCollege Automated Photoelectric Telescope are presented for the magneticCP stars HR 1297, 36 Aur, and HR 2722 and the nonmagnetic CP stars HR1576 and alpha Cnc. Both the moderately rotating HR 1576, amercury-manganese star, and alpha Cnc, a metallic-line star, arenonvariable. For HR 1297 we refined Winzer's period to 1.06457 days. Ourperiod of 14.366 days for 36 Aur is an alias of Winzer's period and isin keeping with the sharp-lined nature of this star. We found a moreaccurate period of 2.31523 days for the low-amplitude variable HR 2722.
| The Angular Momentum of Main Sequence Stars and Its Relation to Stellar Activity
Rotational velocities are reported for intermediate-mass main sequencestars it the field. The measurements are based on new, high S/N CCDspectra from the Coudé Feed Telescope of the Kitt Peak NationalObservatory. We analyze these rotation rates for a dependence on bothmass and age. We compare the average rotation speeds of the field starswith mean velocities for young stars in Orion, the Alpha Persei cluster,the Pleiades, and the Hyades. The average rotation speeds of stars moremassive than $\sim1.6$ \msun\experience little or no change during theevolutionary lifetimes of these stars on the zero age main sequence orwithin the main sequence band. Less massive stars in the range betwee n1.6\msun\ and 1.3\msun\ also show little decline in mean rotation ratewhile they are on the main sequence, and at most a factor of 2 decreasein velocity as they evolve off the main sequence. The {\it e}-foldingtime for the loss of angular momentum b y the latter group of stars isat least 1--2 billion years. This inferred characteristic time scale forspindown is far longer than the established rotational braking time forsolar-type stars with masses below $\sim1.3$ \msun. We conclude from acomparison of the trends in rotation with trends in chromospheric andcoronal activity that the overall decline in mean rotation speed alongthe main sequence, from $\sim2$ \msun\ down to $\sim1.3$ \msun, isimposed during the pre-main sequence phase of evolution, and that thispattern changes little thereafter while the star resides on the mainsequence. The magnetic activity implicated in the rotational spindown ofthe Sun and of similar stars during their main sequence lifetimes mus ttherefore play only a minor role in determining the rotation rates ofthe intermediate mass stars, either because a solar-like dynamo is weakor absent, or else the geometry of the magnetic field is appreciablyless effective in removing angular momentu m from these stars.

| Secondary standard stars for UVBY beta CCD photometry
Accurate standard uvby indices are presented for 73 southern B, A, F andG stars in the $V$ magnitude range 8.2 to 10.9. They cover all threetransformation regions of the $uvby$ system (Olsen \cite[1983]{Olsen1})well. Standard $\beta$ indices are included for the 55 B, A, and F starsin the sample. Our results provide a useful set of secondary standardsfor uvby beta CCD photometry with southern hemisphere 1-2 m classtelescopes.

| The dust disk around the vega-excess star SAO 26804
We present multiwaveband observations of the K2 Vega-excess star SAO26804 (= HD 233517). These include James Clerk Maxwell Telescopemillimeter-wave photometry, plus spectra in the 8-13 microns and 18-24microns atmospheric windows, an image at a wavelength of 10 micronsthrough a broadband N filter and near-IR (JHKLL'M) photometry all takenat the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. The source is resolved at 10microns, and we can confirm with these observations that the IR excessseen in IRAS observations of this source is associated with the opticalstar. The image is consistent with the dust being confined to a diskwith Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) 1.5 sec on the major axis, withan inclination angle of less than 30 deg away from edge-on. Thisrepresents the first confirmation that the dust in a Vega-excess starother than beta Pic is confined to a disk geometry. We present models ofthe source which show that many of the properties of the disk and thedust in it are similar to those which we have previously derived for thedisk around SAO 179815, but that there are some very small grains in thedisk around the star which give around SAO 179815, but that there aresome very small grains in the disk around the star which give rise to avery prominent and narrow silicate dust feature at 9.7 microns and toso-called unidentified infrared bands in the 10 micron region. Thelarger grains are composed of a mixture of amorphous carbon and silicatewith an abundance ratio consistent with an interstellar origin. Thetotal mass of dust in the disk is 3.0 x 10-7 solar mass.Finally, our model suggests that there may be a substantial UV and/orsoft X-ray flux from SAO 26804, consistent with it being a very youngand rather active star.
| 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.
| A search for remnant molecular disks around young nearby stars
This study presents sensitive millimeter wavelength observations ofeight Ursa Major stream stars, designed to detect the presence ofmolecular material resident in persistent outer remnant disks. Noemission arising from gaseous remnants of circumstellar disks was found.The candidates range in spectral type from K3 to A7, covering a massrange from 0.7 to 2 solar masses. Disks larger than about 350 AU couldnot have escaped detection if they were optically thick at the 115 GHzline of (C-12)O, implying a limiting CO mass of less than 6 x 10 exp 24g for a distributed component of this size. If the CO/H2 ratio iscomparable to that observed in the interstellar medium, then the totalouter disk masses must be less than 3 x 10 exp -5.
| The Boehm-Vitense gap in the Geneva photometric system
A gap among A-F stars is searched on the main sequence of differentstellar samples in the photometric space M defined by the four colorindexes U-B1, B1-B2, B2-V1 and V1-G of the Geneva photometric system. Agap is noticed for the field and the eight young open clustersinvestigated when selected stars are not visual or spectroscopicbinaries, and not chemically peculiar. It is shown that this gap isinduced by the existence of two differently oriented star branches in M,the so-called radiative and convective branches. The gap is suggestednot to be only a mere artefact of having previously excluded Am and Apstars but partly due to an abrupt onset of convection in late A stars asproposed by Boehm-Vitense (1970). The locus of the gap's red edgeaccording to B2-V1 with regard to the diffusion region, the lowerinstability strip and the low rotational velocities domain supports theidea that the onset of convection lowers the metallicity, stabilizes thepulsations and brakes the rotation. The locus of the gap's blue edgeseems to be connected with age.

| The differential blanketing of the main-sequence and near-main-sequence M67 stars relative to the Hyades and Coma
The blanketing of main-sequence stars in the Hyades, Coma, and M67, andof F subgiants in M67 is compared on the basis of red photometry. Therequired reddening corrections are derived by several techniques thatare insensitive or probably insensitive to blanketing. The meanreddening values obtained are E(B-V) of approximately 0.016 for theHyades, 0.006 for Coma, and 0.053 for M67. These reddening values areshown to imply that there is measurable reddening well inside 100 pc,that Crawford's (1975) A- and F-star relations must be slightly revised,that significant numbers of relatively nearby field A stars are slightlyreddened, that the North Galactic Pole stars of Hilditch et al. (1976)are reddened by 0.01 to 0.03 in B-V, and that Hyades-field F-star b-ycomparisons must be revised. It is found from the reddening-correctedphotometry that: (1) the differential Hyades-M67 blocking is greater inabsolute value for early G late F stars; (2) effects of evolution on theF IV stars in M67 are clearly discernible in the UV and marginally so inB-V; and (3) the F stars on and very near the M67 main sequence haveapproximately the Coma blocking and considerably less than the Hyadesblocking, which indicates that the zero-age metallicity of M67 issolar-normal.
