Long-term monitoring of active stars. IX. Photometry collected in 1993
As a part of an extensive program focused on the global properties andevolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)_c and UBV photometryof 31 selected stars is presented. The UBV(RI)_c observations werecollected at the European Southern Observatory over the 31 December1992-18 January 1993 and the 20 November-3 December 1993 intervals.Additional UBV photometry obtained by the ``Phoenix" and by the CataniaAstrophysical Observatory Automatic Photoelectric Telescopes from 1990to 1993 is also presented for some of the program stars. Significantevolution of the light curves, period variations and evidence forlong-term variability of the global degree of spottedness are found.Some spectral classifications are revised and the inferred photometricparallaxes are compared, whenever possible, with the values measured bythe Hipparcos satellite. These observations are finalized to theconstruction of an extended photometric database, which can giveimportant clues on topics such as the stability of spotted areas,differential rotation, solar-like cycles and the correlation betweeninhomogeneities at different atmospheric levels. Based on data collectedat the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile.

| Starspot photometry with robotic telescopes. UBV(RI)_C and by light curves of 47 active stars in 1996/97
We present continuous multicolor photometry for 47 stars from October1996 through June 1997. Altogether, 7073 V(RI)_c, UBV, and by datapoints, each the average of three individual readings, were acquiredwith three automatic photoelectric telescopes (APTs) at FairbornObservatory in southern Arizona. Most of our targets arechromospherically active single and binary stars of spectral type G to Kbut there are also four pre-main-sequence objects and three pulsatingstars in our sample. The light variability is generally due torotational modulation of an asymmetrically spotted stellar surface andtherefore precise rotational periods and their seasonal variations aredetermined from Fourier analysis. We also report on photometricvariations of gamma CrB (A0V) with a period of 0.44534 days. All dataare available in numerical form. All data are available from CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html

| UBV(RI)_C and UVBY photometry of HD 81410 and starspot distribution in RS CVn objects
We present UBVRI and uvby photometry of HD 81410 obtained on a total of40 nights during 1987-90, and an analysis of its long-term photometricbehaviour. The star is found to show two well-separated minima in itslight curve most of the time; probably there are two preferred effectivelongitudes about which spots are mainly formed. The migration of thephase of the light minimum usually seen in RS CVn stars is absent in HD81410. The rather small spread in the maximum V amplitudes observed inactive RS CVn objects seen at different inclinations of rotational axisimplies that the longitudinal asymmetry in the distribution of spots,which causes the light modulation, is largely restricted to withinaround +/-40(deg) latitudes. The total ranges of rotational periodswhich are quoted in the literature for several spotted stars based onlong-term photometry also imply a similar latitudinal extent of spotsabout the equator. We find that the light and colour curves produced byan equatorial band of spots limited by latitudes and covering the fullrange of longitudes across the hemisphere visible at light minimum canbe approximated reasonably well by two well-separated circular spots.Further, we find that the net effect in the colours produced bylimb-darkening depends on the exact distribution of spots on the stellarsurface; it could be even negligible for certain spot distributions.From the spot modeling of the light and colour curves of HD 81410 wefind that the maximum temperature difference between the photosphere andspots is around 1400 K. We also find that the light modulation is causedby several small individual spots, and during the epochs of shallowminimum spots are spread out, both latitudinally and longitudinally,over a wider region, as indicated by a higher temperature for theequivalent circular spots at those epochs. It seems that in RS CVn starsthe spots occur largely distributed about the equator as in the case ofthe Sun and the solutions which indicate polar spots result fromlimiting the number of spots in the modeling to a few.

| Long-term monitoring of active stars. VIII. UBV(RI)_(c) photometry collected in February 1992
As a part of an extensive program focusing on the global properties andevolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)_c photometry of 31selected stars, collected at the European Southern Observatory over the14-29 February 1992 interval, is presented. Significant evolution of thelight curves, period variations and evidence for long-term variabilityof the global degree of spottedness are found. Some spectralclassifications are revised and the inferred photometric parallaxes arecompared, whenever possible, with the values measured by the Hipparcossatellite. Flare events were detected for the star HD16157 = CC Eri, EXO 055609-3804.4 TY Coland HD 119285 = V851 Cen. Optical variability wasdiscovered for the Pop II binary HD 89499. Theseobservations contribute to the establishment of a time-extendedphotometric database which can give important clues on topics such asthe stability of spotted areas, differential rotation, solar-like cyclesand the correlation between inhomogeneities at different atmosphericlevels. based on data collected at the European Southern Observatory, LaSilla, Chile.
| Doppler imaging of stellar surface structure. V. The long-period RSCVn binary HD81410 = ILHydrae
Multiwavelength Doppler images of the long-period RS CVn binary ILHydrae from March 1994 and Feb.-March 1995 reveal a cool polar spot andseveral features at low latitudes. Their average temperature isapproximately 500K below the photospheric temperature of 4700K. Due tothe relatively small rotational velocity of 26.5+/-1 kms(-1) \ and therelatively cool, low-gravity atmosphere with many weak absorptionblends, Doppler imaging of IL Hydrae is challenging but resulted inencouragingly similar maps from altogether seven spectral regions near6400 Angstroms. Latitude-dependent differential rotation is detectedfrom our Doppler maps and indicate faster rotation at the stellarequator as compared to the polar regions. Lines from the secondarycomponent are sometimes seen in our red-wavelength spectra and adouble-lined spectroscopic orbit is presented. We also give a moreprecise rotational period from three consecutive years of V-bandphotometry. A spectral classification of K0III-IV and a mass of2.2+/-0.2 M_sun for the primary, and mid to late F main sequence ormaybe ~G0V-IV and a mass of 1.3+/-0.2 M_sun for the secondary, aresuggested. Hα \ equivalent widths measured over a single rotationcycle exhibit a sinusoidal variation in phase with the photosphericV-band light curve. The maximum of the residual Hα \ emissioncoincides with the lightcurve minimum and is thus likely linked to thestarspot-covered stellar surface. A steady, redshifted absorptioncomponent possibly indicates an isotropic inward flow at the Hα \line-forming region at approximately 60 kms(-1) .

| GPM1 - a catalog of absolute proper motions of stars with respect to galaxies
The description of the first version of the General Compiled Catalogueof Absolute Proper Motions (GPM1) for a sample of HIPPARCOS stars,derived with respect to galaxies within the plan called Catalogue ofFaint Stars (KSZ, Deutch 1952), is presented. The principal aim of theGPM1 construction was to provide absolute proper motions of stars todetermine the rotation of the HIPPARCOS system. The GPM1 cataloguecontains 977 HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue stars with V magnitudes $5^m -11^m in 180 fields north of -25 degrees of declination. The accuracy ofthe proper motions is 8 mas/yr (milliarcseconds per year). Comparison ofproper motions of GPM1 with those of the PPM and ACRS was performed andanalyzed with respect to systematic errors caused by spurious rotationof the FK5 system. The standard errors show that the rotation may bedetermined with an accuracy better than 1 mas/yr. Catalog is onlyavailable in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftpcdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or ftp 130.79.128.5.

| HD 81410 - A new RS CVn binary
B and V photometry of HD 81410 obtained on 34 nights between January 3and March 14 of 1981 is presented. In both B and V, the amplitudes arefound to be approximately 0.15 mag. It is also found that a 12.86833 dayperiod satisfies all the available photometric data. Orbital elements ofthe system are derived from the published radial velocity measurements.The orbital period, strong Ca II H and K emission, and the spectraltypes of the components suggest that HD 81410 is a member of the RS CVngroup. The star is seen to become redder at fainter visual magnitudes.This is attributed to the relatively cooler temperatures of the 'darkerregions' present on the visible hemisphere.
