The Nature of Faint Companions to G-Type Stars from Adaptive Optics
High spatial resolution (0.30") near-IR photometric observations usingthe adaptive optics of the Mount Wilson 100 inch (2.5 m) telescope andthe Penn State IR Imager and Spectrograph have revealed faint companionsto HD 190067 and HIP 13855. HD 190067B is found to be of mass 0.075-0.1Msolar with an age from 0.5 Gyr to a few gigayears. HIP13855B is a low-mass star (age 100-500 Myr) of mass between 0.1 and 0.2Msolar. Further near-IR spectroscopic observations will benecessary to classify their spectral types precisely.
| 1.65 μm (H-band) surface photometry of galaxies. VII. Dwarf galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
We present near-infrared H-band (1.65 μm) observations and surfacebrightness profile decompositions for 75 faint (13.5 <~ mp<~ 18.5) galaxies, primarily taken among dwarf Ellipticals members ofthe Virgo cluster, with some Centaurus Cluster members, a BCD and twopeculiar galaxies taken as fillers. We model their surface brightnessprofiles with a de Vaucouleurs (D), exponential (E), mixed (bulge+diskor M) or truncated (T) law, and we derive for each galaxy the H bandeffective surface brightness (μe) and effective radius(re), the asymptotic total magnitude HT and thelight concentration index C31, defined as the ratio betweenthe radii that enclose 75% and 25% of the total light HT. Fora subsample we compare the NIR surface photometry with similar datataken in the B and V bands, and we give the B-H and B-V color profiles.Combining the present data with those previously obtained by our group(1157 objects) we analyze the NIR properties of a nearly completesample, representative of galaxies of all morphological types, spanning4 decades in luminosity. We confirm our earlier claim that the presenceof cusps and extended haloes in the light profiles (C31>5)is a strong, non-linear function of the total luminosity. We also findthat: i) among dE and dS0 galaxies D profiles are absent; 50% of thedecompositions are of type M, the remaining being of type E or T. ii)Less than 50% of the giant elliptical galaxies have pure D profiles, themajority being represented by M profiles. iii) Most giant galaxies (fromelliptical to Sb) have M profiles. iv) Most of late type spirals (Scd toBCD) have either E or T profiles. v) The type of decomposition is astrong function of the total H band luminosity, independent of theHubble classification: the fraction of type E decompositions decreaseswith increasing luminosity, while those of type M increase withluminosity. Pure D profiles are absent in the low luminosity rangeLH<1010 Lsolar and become dominantabove 1011 Lsolar, while T profiles are presentonly among low luminosity galaxies. vi) We find that dE-peculiargalaxies have structural parameters indistinguishable from those oflate-type dwarfs, thus they might represent the missing link between dEsand dIs. Based on observations taken with the ESO/NTT (ESO program64.N-0288), with the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) operated on theisland of La Palma by the Centro Galileo Galilei of the CNAA at theSpanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the IAC, with the SanPedro Martir 2.1~m telescope of the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional(OAN, Mexico), and with the OHP 1.2~m telescope, operated by the FrenchCNRS.
| Northern JHK Standard Stars for Array Detectors
We report J, H, and K photometry of 86 stars in 40 fields in theNorthern Hemisphere. The fields are smaller than or comparable to a 4' x4' field of view and are roughly uniformly distributed over the sky,making them suitable for a homogeneous broadband calibration network fornear-infrared panoramic detectors. K magnitudes range from 8.5 to 14 andJ-K colors, from -0.2 to 1.2. The photometry is derived from a total of3899 reduced images; each star has been measured, on average, 26.0 timesper filter on 5.5 nights. Typical errors on the photometry are ~0.012mag.
