New periodic variables from the Hipparcos epoch photometry
Two selection statistics are used to extract new candidate periodicvariables from the epoch photometry of the Hipparcos catalogue. Theprimary selection criterion is a signal-to-noise ratio. The dependenceof this statistic on the number of observations is calibrated usingabout 30000 randomly permuted Hipparcos data sets. A significance levelof 0.1 per cent is used to extract a first batch of candidate variables.The second criterion requires that the optimal frequency be unaffectedif the data are de-trended by low-order polynomials. We find 2675 newcandidate periodic variables, of which the majority (2082) are from theHipparcos`unsolved' variables. Potential problems with theinterpretation of the data (e.g. aliasing) are discussed.
| 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.

| Long-term monitoring of active stars. IV. UBV(RI)_c_ observations obtained at La Silla in December 1989.
High-precision UBV(RI)_c_ photometry of 23 selected acitve stars,collected at the European Southern Observatory (La Silla, Chile) overthe period 9-28 December 1989, is presented. This paper is part of alarger program focusing on the global properties and evolution of activestars and is aimed at establishing a time-extended database which cangive important clues on topics such as the stability of the spottedareas, differential rotation and solar-like cycles. Significantevolution of the wave-like light curves, period variations and, in mostcases, evidence for long-term variability of the global degree ofspottedness are found for the observed stars. Some spectralclassifications are rediscussed and evidence for a newly discoveredvariable star is given.

| Photometric analysis of the chromospherically active giant star HD 86005
Photometric data, covering a span of two and a half years, have beenanalysed for the chromospherically active giant star HD 86005. It wasfound to undergo light variations and a photometric period of 89.0 +/-0.3 days was determined. Evidence suggests that these brightnessvariations are due to the rotation of unevenly distributed starspots.
| Lithium in RS CVn binaries and related chromospherically active stars. I - Observational results
The present survey of the Li I 6708 A line in a sample of spectral typeG and K stars with luminosity classes III, IV, and V shows that manyK-type stars in the sample, including a large number of RS CVn binaries,show an anomalously high Li abundance relative to typical inactive starsof the same spectral type. Only a few stars in the sample are likely tobe premain sequence objects of stars which have recently arrived on themain sequence. Mechanisms that could lead to the enhanced Li absorptionin chromospherically active stars are discussed; these encompass largecool spots on the stellar surface, the production of Li in stellarflares by spallation reactions, and the evolution from main-sequenceprogenitors without, or with very shallow, outer convective zones.
| UBVRI observations of southern hemisphere active stars. II - 1987 data
Results are presented on high-precision UBV (RI)c photometricobservations of 13 southern-hemisphere RS CVn, BY Dra, and FK Com-typevariable stars, carried out in December 1987 at the European SouthernObservatory at La Silla (Chile). Compared with previous observations,significant changes of the light curves were detected, both in amplitudeand shape.
| A microwave survey of southern active stars
The results of a survey of 153 active-chromosphere stars made with theParkes 64-m telescope at 5.0/8.4 GHz from 1981 to 1987 are reported.Microwave emission was detected from 70 stars on at least one occasion,with the highest detection rate of 68 percent from the RS CVn group. TheCa II stars and Algol-type binaries yielded detection rates of 44 and 30percent, respectively. The maximum powers emitted by the stars at5.0/8.4 GHz ranged over five orders of magnitude, with a median of 2.5 x10 to the 10th W/Hz. The maximum brightness temperatures had a smallerrange of three orders of magnitude, with a median of 3.6 x 10 to the 9thK.
| Observations of active stars at 843 MHz
The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope is being used in ancontinuing program of observation of known Southern active stars. By May1987, a total of 41 stars had been observed, and 843-MHz quiescentemission, presumably associated with the star, had been detected in nineinstances. The emission from five of these stars has shown markedvariation on a time scale over 1 day.
| UBV photometry of ten southern hemisphere active-chromosphere stars
High-precision UBV photometry of ten southern hemisphereactive-chromosphere stars with strong Ca II H and K and/or H-alphaemission has been obtained. Eight of these stars showed variabilityduring June 1985. Complete or partial light curves are presented for thestars, and these data, as well as mean V magnitudes and colors, arecompared with the results of other investigators. In a number of cases,significant changes in photometric amplitude are found, which may serveto track the formation and evolution of active regions on these stars.
| Radio emission from RS CVn binaries. I - VLA survey and period-radio luminosity relationship
A VLA survey of radio emission from 36 close binary stellar systems withRS CVn properties is reported. Eight new sources were detected. Asummary of all published reports of radio emission from RS CVn systemsis presented. There appears to be a correlation between maximum radioluminosity and rotational period, with a tentative functional form L(R)varies as P to the (-0.7) power. Rapid rotators (periods approximately 2days) may be underluminous compared with the extrapolated trend fromlonger-period systems. The luminosity-period correlation probablyresults from a dynamo mechanism which produces strong magnetic fieldsand, in turn, enhances the nonthermal radio emission. The decrease inradio luminosity at short periods may be caused by a saturation ofenergy deposition in the chromosphere, possibly because the surface ofthe active star has become covered with spotted regions.
| Near infrared photometry of some RS CVn systems and candidates
Infrared observations in the J, H, and K bands were made on eleven RSCVn systems. IR excess greater than about 0.3 mag in the J, H, and Kbands was observed from the three systems UX Ari, HR 1099 and sigma CrB.Similar observations were also made on the RS CVn candidates HD 26354,39937, 42449, 51268, and 86005. The IR excess in the RS CVn systems forwhich near-infrared photometric data are available is found to becorrelated with the maximum optical wave amplitude of these systems. Theobserved excess cannot be explained on the basis of a single processsuch as emission from cool spots on the photosphere; free-free emissionfrom an optically thin circumstellar plasma; or dust-grain emission fromcircumstellar material.
| An H-alpha survey of southern hemisphere active chromosphere stars
Because of the variety of extraordinary phenomena exhibited by activechromosphere objects, discovery of new, bright surface-active stars isof considerable importance. Ca II emission is a well-known signature ofchromospheric activity, serving even as one of the points of definitionof the class of RS CVn binary stars. In connection with the presentinvestigation, spectroscopic observations of 27 Ca II emission starshave been conducted. The observations make it possible to identifyunambiguously the most chromospherically active stars in the sample. Byobserving the H-alpha line, rather than H and K, it is possible todistinguish nine of these stars which are likely to be observationaltargets as interesting as the extremely surface active objects V711 Tauor FK Com. Of the 27 stars surveyed, two (HD 86005, HD 204128) showedH-alpha as an emission feature above continuum, with estimatedequivalent width 1-2 A.
