Constant-Velocity Stars at the North Galactic Pole Suitable for Use as Secondary Velocity Standards
We present mean radial velocities for 143 stars in Selected Area 57 atthe north Galactic pole that are suitable for use as secondary velocitystandards. The stars were drawn from a magnitude-limited sample and aremostly fainter than 11th magnitude in V. They span a wide range ofeffective temperatures and surface gravities and thus provide a suitablesource of targets for observed templates. The mean radial velocities arebased on at least 10 observations spanning at least 8200 days, and areaccurate typically to 0.2 km s-1, with no obvious signs ofvariable velocity or composite spectra.Some of the results presented here used observations made with the MMT,a joint facility of the Smithsonian Institution and the University ofArizona.

The Pul-3 catalogue of 58483 stars in the Tycho-2 system
A catalogue of positions and proper motions of 58483 stars (Pul-3) hasbeen constructed at the Pulkovo observatory. The Pul-3 is based on theresults of measurements of photographic plates with galaxies (Deutsch'splan). All plates were taken using the Pulkovo Normal Astrograph (thefirst epoch is in the 1950s and the second epoch is in the 1970s).The Pul-3 catalogue contains stars of mainly 12 to 16.5 mag in 146fields with galaxies in the declination zone from -5o to+85o. The Tycho-2 has been used as a reference catalogue.The mean epoch of the Pul-3 is 1963.25. The internal positional accuracyof the Pul-3 catalogue at the mean epoch of observations is ±80mas. The accuracy of the proper motions is mostly within ±3mas/yr to ±12 mas/yr. Comparisons of the Pul-3 with Tycho-2 andARIHIP have been done at the mean epoch of the Pul-3. The Pul-3 externalpositional accuracy relative to Tycho-2 is ±150 mas.The catalogue is only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/418/357

Radial velocities of population II binary stars. I.
Radial velocities for 114 Hipparcos stars, mostly high transversevelocity binaries without previous radial velocity measurements, arepublished. Measurements are made with the CORAVEL-type radial velocityspectrometer. The accuracy of measurements is better than 1 km/s. Twostars, BD +30 deg 2129A and HD 117466AB are found to be radial velocityvariables, and three more stars, HD 119515A, HD 131597AB, and HD 153344,are possible radial velocity variables.

Vilnius Photometry of Stars in the Area of SA 57
Interstellar reddening, as a function of distance in the direction ofthe North Galactic Pole (SA 57), is determined using the two-dimensionalclassification of 63 stars observed in the Vilnius photometric system.The average value of A_V calculated for the stars up to 800 pc distanceis close to zero (the mean value is A_V=0.01 mag) with a standarddeviation of the order of sigma =+/- 0.1 mag. This dispersion of pointsis exactly what is expected from the errors of measurement andclassification.

A search for wide binaries at the north galactic pole using precise radial velocities
Precise radial velocities are presented from a survey of 247 starscentered on Selected Area 57 at the North Galactic Pole, complete forlate-type stars with V magnitude brighter than 12.0. The radialvelocities have a typical precision of 0.2-0.3 km/s. New spectral typesand distances estimates are presented for 120 of the stars in thesample. All pairs of stars with angular separations between 1 and 600arcsec have been considered, and 11 candidate pairs found with velocitydifferences less than 1.5 km/s. It is estimated that 4 or 5 of the 11candidate pairs are actually bound binaries, but none with separationslarger than 0.1 pc. The constraints imposed by these results on theactual distribution of wide binaries in the Galaxy should now bereanalyzed. The unusual precision of the velocities led to the discoveryof a new cluster associated with the multiple system ADS 8811 ABC.

Photoelectric V and (B-V) for Weistrop stars near the north Galactic pole
V and (B-V) have been obtained for 173 stars near the north Galacticpole. A comparison is made between these photoelectric values and thephotographic values obtained by Weistrop (1972). Corrections have beenderived which, when applied to (B-V)w and Vw, result in relativelysystematic error-free colors and magnitudes.
