A large, complete, volume-limited sample of G-type dwarfs. I. Completion of Stroemgren UVBY photometry
Four-colour photometry of potential dwarf stars of types G0 to K2,selected from the Michigan Spectral Catalogues (Vol. 1-3), has beencarried out. The results are presented in a catalogue containing 4247uvby observations of 3900 stars, all south of δ = -26deg. Theoverall internal rms errors of one observation (transformed to thestandard system) of a program star in the interval 8.5 < V < 10.5are 0.0044, 0.0021, 0.0039, and 0.0059, respectively, in V, b-y, m_1_ ,and c_1_. The purpose of the catalogue, combined with earliercatalogues, is to allow selection of a large, complete, volume-limitedsample of G- and K-type dwarfs, investigate their metallicitydistribution, and compare it to predictions of various models ofgalactic chemical evolution. Future papers in this series will discussthese subjects.
| HD 91805 and the nature of the Bidelman-MacConnell weak-G-band stars
Spectroscopic and photometric observations of the weak-G-band star HD91805 are examined together with intermediate-band photometry of severalBidelman-MacConnell objects. Curve-of-growth and spectrum-synthesisanalyses of HD 91805 are performed to obtain insight into the productsof mixing; the results are found to be very similar to those reported bySneden and Peterson (1977) for HR 6766. Evidence based on theintermediate-band photometry is presented that the majority of theBidelman-MacConnell weak-G-band stars are burning helium in their coressubsequent to the helium core flash. Possible causes of the weak-G-bandanomaly are considered, and it is concluded that carbon depletion due tomeridional circulation requires the least radical departure from nowwell-understood astrophysical processes.
