A Cold Nearby Cloud inside the Local Bubble
The high-latitude Galactic H I cloud toward the extragalactic radiosource 3C 225 is characterized by very narrow 21 cm emission andabsorption indicative of a very low H I spin temperature of about 20 K.Through high-resolution optical spectroscopy, we report the detection ofstrong, very narrow Na I absorption corresponding to this cloud toward anumber of nearby stars. Assuming that the turbulent H I and Na I motionsare similar, we derive a cloud temperature of20+6-8 K (in complete agreement with the 21 cmresults) and a line-of-sight turbulent velocity of 0.37+/-0.08 kms-1 from a comparison of the H I and Na I absorption linewidths. We also place a firm upper limit of 45 pc on the distance of thecloud, which situates it well inside the Local Bubble in this directionand makes it the nearest known cold diffuse cloud discovered to date.
| Radial velocities. Measurements of 2800 B2-F5 stars for HIPPARCOS
Radial velocities have been determined for a sample of 2930 B2-F5 stars,95% observed by the Hipparcos satellite in the north hemisphere and 80%without reliable radial velocity up to now. Observations were obtainedat the Observatoire de Haute Provence with a dispersion of 80Ä,mm(-1) with the aim of studying stellar and galactic dynamics.Radial velocities have been measured by correlation with templates ofthe same spectral class. The mean obtained precision is 3.0 km s(-1)with three observations. A new MK spectral classification is estimatedfor all stars. Based on observations made at the Haute ProvenceObservatory, France and on data from The Hipparcos Catalogue, ESA.Tables 4, 5 and 6 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.htm
| New optical positions and proper motions of late type stars associated with SiO masers
The 33 cm astrograph of the Bordeaux Observatory has been used to derivewith respect to AGK3 reference stars, accurate positions of late typevariable stars variable stars associated with strong SiO maser emission.It is suggested that selected maser stars can be used to link theHIPPARCOS system and the VLBI extragalactic reference frame. The propermotions of the program (SiO) and reference stars are derived and, forthe program stars, are compared to the McCormick catalog of propermotions.
