ABSTRACT Rotational and radial velocities have been measured for 1589 evolved stars of spectral types F, G, and K and luminosity classes IV, III, II, and Ib, based on observations carried out with the CORAVEL spectrometers. The precision in radial velocity is better than 0.30 1 1 1 km s− per observation, whereas rotational velocity uncertainties are typically 1.0 km s− for subgiants and giants and 2.0 km s− for class II giants and Ib supergiants.

Leeuw,5 Henry Matthews,6 Rachel Mason,7 James M. De Buizer,1 Charles M. Telesco,2 and Manuel Orduna2 Received 2006 November 8; accepted 2008 February 18 ABSTRACT We present high spatial resolution mid-IR images of the nuclear region of NGC 5128 (Centaurus A). Images were obtained at 8.8 m, N band (10.4 m), and 18.3 m using the mid-IR imager/spectrometer T-ReCS on Gemini South. These images show a bright unresolved core surrounded by low-level extended emission. We place an upper limit to the size of the unresolved nucleus of 3.2 pc (0.1900)at8.8m and 3.5 pc (0.2100)at18.3m at the level of the FWHM. The most likely source of nuclear mid-IR emission is from a dusty torus and possibly a dusty narrow-line region with some contribution from synchrotron emission associated with the jet as well as relatively minor starburst activity. Clumpy tori models are presented which predict the mid-IR size of this torus to be no larger than 0.0500 (0.85 pc). Surrounding the nucleus is extensive low-level mid-IR emission. This paper presents to date the highest spatial resolution mid-IR images of this extended near nuclear structure, previously observed by ISO and Spitzer.

No. 32 (1988)> =1988VeARI..32....1F ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Proper motions ; Positional data Abstract: The Basic Fifth Fundamental Catalogue (FK5) Part I provides improved mean positions and proper motions for the 1535 classical fundamental stars that had been included in the FK3 and FK4 catalogs. The machine version of the catalog contains the positions and proper motions of the Basic FK5 stars for the epochs and equinoxes J2000.0 and B1950.0, the mean epochs of individual observed right ascensions and declinations used to determine the final positions, the mean errors of the final positions and proper motions for the reported epochs, and ancillary data such as magnitudes, spectral types, parallaxes, radial velocities, and cross identifications to other catalog designations. Introduction: The Basic FK5 is the successor to the FK4 (Fricke & Kopff 1963) and contains the 1535 classical fundamental stars used to define the latter system. It represents a revision of the FK4 and results from the determination of systematic and individual corrections to the mean positions and proper motions of the FK4, the elimination of the error in the FK4 equinox, and the introduction of the IAU (1976) system of astronomical constants. About 300 catalogs providing star positions obtained from throughout the world are included in the FK5.

    Thesis Résonances et multipériodicité des céphéides et des hypergéantes KIENZLE, Francesco Abstract L'étude des oscillations stellaires fournit des tests observationnels importants dans des domaines très divers de l'astrophysique. Les oscillations d'étoiles de type solaire permettent de connaître en détail la structure interne de ces objets, alors que les fortes pulsations des étoiles de type céphéide fournissent un outil pour mesurer les distances cosmologiques. Cette thèse aborde divers aspects concernant la pulsation des céphéides. Nous montrerons à l'aide de modèles comment la composition chimique, variable d'une galaxie à l'autre, influence la pulsation de ces étoiles et quel en est l'effet sur les grandeurs observées. Les résonances entre les modes propres d'oscillations de l'étoile sont primordiales dans les céphéides. Nous montrerons comment les utiliser pour obtenir de nouvelles contraintes sur les paramètres stellaires. Enfin, nous aborderons le problème des oscillations multipériodiques dans les céphéides à l'aide de modèles hydrodynamiques et nous étudierons en détail l'instabilité quasipériodique d'une hypergéante galactique.

We have imaged two bona-fide brown dwarfs with TReCS/GEMINI-S and find mid-infrared excess emission that can be explained by optically thick dust disk models. In the case of the young (≈2 Myr) Cha Hα1 we measure fluxes at 10.4 µm and 12.3 µm that are fully consistent with a standard flared disk model and prominent silicate emission. For the ≈10 Myr old brown dwarf 2MASS1207-3932 located in the TW Hydrae association we find excess emission at 8.7 µm and 10.4 µm with respect to the photosphere, and confirm disk accretion as a likely cause of its strong activity. Disks around brown dwarfs likely last at least as long as their low-mass stellar counterparts in the T-Tauri phase. Grain growth, dust settling, and evolution of the geometry of brown dwarf disks may appear on a timescale of 10 Myr and can be witnessed by observations in the mid-infrared. Key words. accretion, accretion disks – stars: low-mass, brown dwarfs – stars: formation 1.
