Effective temperature scale and bolometric corrections from 2MASS photometry
We present a method to determine effective temperatures, angularsemi-diameters and bolometric corrections for population I and II FGKtype stars based on V and 2MASS IR photometry. Accurate calibration isaccomplished by using a sample of solar analogues, whose averagetemperature is assumed to be equal to the solar effective temperature of5777 K. By taking into account all possible sources of error we estimateassociated uncertainties to better than 1% in effective temperature andin the range 1.0-2.5% in angular semi-diameter for unreddened stars.Comparison of our new temperatures with other determinations extractedfrom the literature indicates, in general, remarkably good agreement.These results suggest that the effective temperaure scale of FGK starsis currently established with an accuracy better than 0.5%-1%. Theapplication of the method to a sample of 10 999 dwarfs in the Hipparcoscatalogue allows us to define temperature and bolometric correction (Kband) calibrations as a function of (V-K), [m/H] and log g. Bolometriccorrections in the V and K bands as a function of T_eff, [m/H] and log gare also given. We provide effective temperatures, angularsemi-diameters, radii and bolometric corrections in the V and K bandsfor the 10 999 FGK stars in our sample with the correspondinguncertainties.
| The Geneva-Copenhagen survey of the Solar neighbourhood. Ages, metallicities, and kinematic properties of 14 000 F and G dwarfs
We present and discuss new determinations of metallicity, rotation, age,kinematics, and Galactic orbits for a complete, magnitude-limited, andkinematically unbiased sample of 16 682 nearby F and G dwarf stars. Our63 000 new, accurate radial-velocity observations for nearly 13 500stars allow identification of most of the binary stars in the sampleand, together with published uvbyβ photometry, Hipparcosparallaxes, Tycho-2 proper motions, and a few earlier radial velocities,complete the kinematic information for 14 139 stars. These high-qualityvelocity data are supplemented by effective temperatures andmetallicities newly derived from recent and/or revised calibrations. Theremaining stars either lack Hipparcos data or have fast rotation. Amajor effort has been devoted to the determination of new isochrone agesfor all stars for which this is possible. Particular attention has beengiven to a realistic treatment of statistical biases and errorestimates, as standard techniques tend to underestimate these effectsand introduce spurious features in the age distributions. Our ages agreewell with those by Edvardsson et al. (\cite{edv93}), despite severalastrophysical and computational improvements since then. We demonstrate,however, how strong observational and theoretical biases cause thedistribution of the observed ages to be very different from that of thetrue age distribution of the sample. Among the many basic relations ofthe Galactic disk that can be reinvestigated from the data presentedhere, we revisit the metallicity distribution of the G dwarfs and theage-metallicity, age-velocity, and metallicity-velocity relations of theSolar neighbourhood. Our first results confirm the lack of metal-poor Gdwarfs relative to closed-box model predictions (the ``G dwarfproblem''), the existence of radial metallicity gradients in the disk,the small change in mean metallicity of the thin disk since itsformation and the substantial scatter in metallicity at all ages, andthe continuing kinematic heating of the thin disk with an efficiencyconsistent with that expected for a combination of spiral arms and giantmolecular clouds. Distinct features in the distribution of the Vcomponent of the space motion are extended in age and metallicity,corresponding to the effects of stochastic spiral waves rather thanclassical moving groups, and may complicate the identification ofthick-disk stars from kinematic criteria. More advanced analyses of thisrich material will require careful simulations of the selection criteriafor the sample and the distribution of observational errors.Based on observations made with the Danish 1.5-m telescope at ESO, LaSilla, Chile, and with the Swiss 1-m telescope at Observatoire deHaute-Provence, France.Complete Tables 1 and 2 are only available in electronic form at the CDSvia anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/418/989
| The ELODIE survey for northern extra-solar planets. I. Six new extra-solar planet candidates
Precise radial-velocity observations at Haute-Provence Observatory (OHP,France) with the ELODIE echelle spectrograph have been undertaken since1994. In addition to several discoveries described elsewhere, includingand following that of 51 Peg b, they reveal new sub-stellar companionswith essentially moderate to long periods. We report here about suchcompanions orbiting five solar-type stars (HD 8574,HD 23596, HD 33636, HD50554, HD 106252) and one sub-giant star(HD 190228). The companion of HD8574 has an intermediate period of 227.55 days and asemi-major axis of 0.77 AU. All other companions have long periods,exceeding 3 years, and consequently their semi-major axes are around orabove 2 AU. The detected companions have minimum masses m2sin i ranging from slightly more than 2 MJup to 10.6MJup. These additional objects reinforce the conclusion thatmost planetary companions have masses lower than 5 MJup butwith a tail of the mass distribution going up above 15 MJup.The orbits are all eccentric and 4 out of 6 have an eccentricity of theorder of 0.5. Four stars exhibit solar metallicity, one is metal-richand one metal-poor. With 6 new extra-solar planet candidates discovered,increasing their total known to-date number to 115, the ELODIE PlanetSearch Survey yield is currently 18. We emphasize that 3 out of the 6companions could in principle be resolved by diffraction-limited imagingon 8 m-class telescopes depending on the achievable contrast, andtherefore be primary targets for first attempts of extra-solar planetdirect imaging.Based on observations made at the Haute-Provence Observatory (operatedby French CNRS), the 1.2-m Euler swiss telescope at ESO-La SillaObservatory (Chile) and the 1.52-m ESO telescope also at La SillaObservatory.The ELODIE measurements discussed in this paper are only available inelectronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr(130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/410/1039Appendix A is only available in electronic form athttp://www.edpsciences.org
