Long term photometric monitoring with the Mercator telescope. Frequencies and mode identification of variable O-B stars
Aims. We selected a large sample of O-B stars that were considered as(candidate) slowly pulsating B, β Cep, and Maia stars after theanalysis of their hipparcos data. We analysed our new seven passbandgeneva data collected for these stars during the first three years ofscientific operations of the mercator telescope. We performed afrequency analysis for 28 targets with more than 50 high-qualitymeasurements to improve their variability classification. For thepulsating stars, we tried both to identify the modes and to search forrotationally split modes. Methods: . We searched for frequenciesin all the geneva passbands and colours by using two independentfrequency analysis methods and we applied a 3.6 S/N-level criterion tolocate the significant peaks in the periodograms. The modes wereidentified by applying the method of photometric amplitudes for which wecalculated a large, homogeneous grid of equilibrium models to perform apulsational stability analysis. When both the radius and the projectedrotational velocity of an object are known, we determined a lower limitfor the rotation frequency to estimate the expected frequency spacingsin rotationally split pulsation modes. Results: . We detected 61frequencies, among which 33 are new. We classified 21 objects aspulsating variables (7 new confirmed pulsating stars, including 2 hybridβ Cep/SPB stars), 6 as non-pulsating variables (binaries or spottedstars), and 1 as photometrically constant. All the Maia candidates werereclassified into other variability classes. We performed modeidentification for the pulsating variables for the first time. The mostprobable ℓ value is 0, 1, 2, and 4 for 1, 31, 9, and 5 modes,respectively, including only 4 unambiguous identifications. For 7 starswe cannot rule out that some of the observed frequencies belong to thesame rotationally split mode. For 4 targets we may begin to resolveclose frequency multiplets. Based on observations collected with the p7 photometer attached to theFlemish 1.2-m mercator telescope situated at the Roque de los Muchachosobservatory on La Palma (Spain).

| Discovery of magnetic fields in the βCephei star ξ1 CMa and in several slowly pulsating B stars*
We present the results of a magnetic survey of a sample of eightβCephei stars and 26 slowly pulsating B (SPBs) stars with the FOcalReducer low dispersion Spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope. A weakmean longitudinal magnetic field of the order of a few hundred Gauss isdetected in the βCephei star ξ1CMa and in 13 SPBstars. The star ξ1CMa becomes the third magnetic staramong the βCephei stars. Before our study, the star ζCas wasthe only known magnetic SPB star. All magnetic SPB stars for which wegathered several magnetic field measurements show a field that varies intime. We do not find a relation between the evolution of the magneticfield with stellar age in our small sample. Our observations imply thatβCephei and SPB stars can no longer be considered as classes ofnon-magnetic pulsators, but the effect of the fields on the oscillationproperties remains to be studied.
| A catalogue of eclipsing variables
A new catalogue of 6330 eclipsing variable stars is presented. Thecatalogue was developed from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars(GCVS) and its textual remarks by including recently publishedinformation about classification of 843 systems and making correspondingcorrections of GCVS data. The catalogue1 represents thelargest list of eclipsing binaries classified from observations.
| The MAIA candidate star HD 208727
HD 208727 is a suspected member of the enigmatic MAIA variables andshows the largest yet observed amplitude in light variation for any ofthe potential members. Proven beyond doubt pulsation would pose aserious problem for stellar modelling and opacities, because eitheropacity source for driving pulsation has to be a different or newidentified, yet unkown, pulsation mechanism. We conclude from ourinvestigation that rotation is a more likely explanation for the lightvariability of HD 208727.
| Two-colour photometry for 9473 components of close Hipparcos double and multiple stars
Using observations obtained with the Tycho instrument of the ESAHipparcos satellite, a two-colour photometry is produced for componentsof more than 7 000 Hipparcos double and multiple stars with angularseparations 0.1 to 2.5 arcsec. We publish 9473 components of 5173systems with separations above 0.3 arcsec. The majority of them did nothave Tycho photometry in the Hipparcos catalogue. The magnitudes arederived in the Tycho B_T and V_T passbands, similar to the Johnsonpassbands. Photometrically resolved components of the binaries withstatistically significant trigonometric parallaxes can be put on an HRdiagram, the majority of them for the first time. Based on observationsmade with the ESA Hipparcos satellite.

| An Einstein Observatory SAO-based catalog of B-type stars
About 4000 X-ray images obtained with the Einstein Observatory are usedto measure the 0.16-4.0 keV emission from 1545 B-type SAO stars fallingin the about 10 percent of the sky surveyed with the IPC. Seventy-fourdetected X-ray sources with B-type stars are identified, and it isestimated that no more than 15 can be misidentified. Upper limits to theX-ray emission of the remaining stars are presented. In addition tosummarizing the X-ray measurements and giving other relevant opticaldata, the present extensive catalog discusses the reduction process andanalyzes selection effects associated with both SAO catalog completenessand IPC target selection procedures. It is concluded that X-rayemission, at the level of Lx not less than 10 exp 30 ergs/s, is quitecommon in B stars of early spectral types (B0-B3), regardless ofluminosity class, but that emission, at the same level, becomes lesscommon, or nonexistent, in later B-type stars.
| Observations in regions of Cassiopeia, Gemini, and Monoceros with the Glazar space telescope
Observations at 1640 A of regions in Cassiopeia, Gemini, and Monocerosmade with the Glazar space telescope are presented; 7, 11, 13, and 35early-type stars brighter than about 9 mag were detected in the observedregions. The distribution of dust matter in the corresponding regions isstudied. It is determined that companions of HD 4442, 4797, and BD + 62deg 2225 are subdwarfs of sdB - sdO types; the hot companion of HD220102 may be of the type from B8 Ib-II to sdB. It is shown that HD 5233and 261490 are probably embedded in dense circumstellar envelopes.

| Polarization of the light of the stars in the association MON R1
New observations of polarization of the light of the stars in thereflection nebula association Mon R1 are given. Of 17 stars investigatedin the B photometric system, nine are cores of reflection nebulas. Thestar VY Mon is found to have a large polarization. The manner in whichthe polarization of the stars and the structure of the nebulas arerelated to the magnetic field of the cloud in which they are situated isdiscussed.
| A survey of ultraviolet objects
An all-sky survey of ultraviolet objects is presented together with astatistical analysis that leads to the conclusion that there is asignificantly higher population of hot subdwarfs lying below themain-sequence than hitherto thought. The distribution of all ultravioletobjects, main sequence ultraviolet objects, and MK unclassifiedultraviolet objects are shown in galactic coordinates, and the absolutemagnitudes and color-color diagrams for these groups are presented.Scale heights are derived, giving values similar to planetary nebulaefor the hottest groups.
