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.
| On the distance to Chain A
High dispersion spectroscopic observations of nine A-type stars and oneF-type star in the Na I D and/or Ca II H and K lines are presented. Moststars lie toward the high-velocity complex Chain A. These spectra arecompared with 21-cm H I emission profiles of the same lines of sight. Nooptical high- or intermediate-velocity components are detected. A lowerlimit for the height of Chain A above the galactic plane of z about 200pc can be deduced. The detections of interstellar Ca II in the spectraof halo RR Lyrae stars in the literature are shown to be in doubt.
| The distance to the high-velocity clouds - Mass infall and galactic disk formation
The high-velocity neutral hydrogen complex C in optical (Ca K)absorption against stars at distances of 1-2 kpc has been detected,confirming a previous tentative detection and placing an upper limit onthe distance to this complex. A similar (though as yet more uncertain)limit is placed to the distance to complex A. No complex is detected inabsorption against any nearby star, effectively ruling out models inwhich the clouds are formed by supershells in the local disk. If thesedistances are representative of the bulk of the high-velocity clouds,the local mass infall rate is 6 x 10 to the -9th solar mass/sq pc/yr,which would supply the disk column density in 10 billion yr. The cloudslie above the bulk of the disk, and it is shown how they may be used tomeasure the pressure of the halo and to place an upper bound on themetagalactic UV flux.
