Spectrophotometric properties of pre-main-sequence stars: the ?Chamaeleontis cluster
We present a study of flux-calibrated low-resolution opticalspectroscopy of 10 stars belonging to eight systems in the ~5-Myr-old?Chamaeleontis (?Cha) pre-main-sequence (PMS) starcluster. Using synthetic broad-band colours, narrow-band continuum,atomic and molecular lines derived from the spectra, we compare the?Cha stars to a slightly older PMS cluster, the ~8-Myr-old?Cha cluster and to main-sequence dwarfs. Using synthetic VRIcolours and other indices, we find that the relationship betweenbroad-band colours and spectroscopic temperature indicators for?Cha cluster members is indistinguishable from that of Gyr-olddwarfs. This result is identical to that found earlier in ?Cha.Gravity-sensitive line indices place the cluster between the giant anddwarf sequences, and there is clear evidence that ?Cha starshave lower surface gravity than ?Cha stars. This result isconsistent with ?Cha being the slightly younger PMS association,a few Myr younger according to the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagramplacement of these two clusters and comparison with PMS evolutionarygrids. Late M-type ?Cha cluster members show a B-band fluxexcess of ~0.2mag compared to observations of standard dwarfs, whichmight be related to enhanced magnetic activity. A similar level ofexcess B-band emission appears to be a ubiquitous feature of low-massmembers of young stellar populations with ages less than a few hundredMyr, a very similar time-scale to the PMS phase of elevated relativeX-ray luminosity.
| Spectroscopic parameters for 451 stars in the HARPS GTO planet search program. Stellar [Fe/H] and the frequency of exo-Neptunes
To understand the formation and evolution of solar-type stars in thesolar neighborhood, we need to measure their stellar parameters to highaccuracy. We present a catalogue of accurate stellar parameters for 451stars that represent the HARPS Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO)“high precision” sample. Spectroscopic stellar parameterswere measured using high signal-to-noise (S/N) spectra acquired with theHARPS spectrograph. The spectroscopic analysis was completed assumingLTE with a grid of Kurucz atmosphere models and the recent ARES code formeasuring line equivalent widths. We show that our results agree wellwith those ones presented in the literature (for stars in common). Wepresent a useful calibration for the effective temperature as a functionof the index color B-V and [Fe/H]. We use our results to study themetallicity-planet correlation, namely for very low mass planets. Theresults presented here suggest that in contrast to their joviancouterparts, neptune-like planets do not form preferentially aroundmetal-rich stars. The ratio of jupiter-to-neptunes is also an increasingfunction of stellar metallicity. These results are discussed in thecontext of the core-accretion model for planet formation.Based on observations collected at La Silla Observatory, ESO, Chile,with the HARPS spectrograph at the 3.6-m telescope (072.C-0488(E)).

| Contributions to the Nearby Stars (NStars) Project: Spectroscopy of Stars Earlier than M0 within 40 pc-The Southern Sample
We are obtaining spectra, spectral types, and basic physical parametersfor the nearly 3600 dwarf and giant stars earlier than M0 in theHipparcos catalog within 40 pc of the Sun. Here we report on resultsfor 1676 stars in the southern hemisphere observed at Cerro TololoInter-American Observatory and Steward Observatory. These resultsinclude new, precise, homogeneous spectral types, basic physicalparameters (including the effective temperature, surface gravity, andmetallicity [M/H]), and measures of the chromospheric activity of ourprogram stars. We include notes on astrophysically interesting stars inthis sample, the metallicity distribution of the solar neighborhood, anda table of solar analogs. We also demonstrate that the bimodal nature ofthe distribution of the chromospheric activity parameterlogR'HK depends strongly on the metallicity, andwe explore the nature of the ``low-metallicity'' chromosphericallyactive K-type dwarfs.
| Chromospheric Ca II Emission in Nearby F, G, K, and M Stars
We present chromospheric Ca II H and K activity measurements, rotationperiods, and ages for ~1200 F, G, K, and M type main-sequence stars from~18,000 archival spectra taken at Keck and Lick Observatories as a partof the California and Carnegie Planet Search Project. We have calibratedour chromospheric S-values against the Mount Wilson chromosphericactivity data. From these measurements we have calculated medianactivity levels and derived R'HK, stellar ages,and rotation periods from general parameterizations for 1228 stars,~1000 of which have no previously published S-values. We also presentprecise time series of activity measurements for these stars.Based on observations obtained at Lick Observatory, which is operated bythe University of California, and on observations obtained at the W. M.Keck Observatory, which is operated jointly by the University ofCalifornia and the California Institute of Technology. The KeckObservatory was made possible by the generous financial support of theW. M. Keck Foundation.
| New Hipparcos-based Parallaxes for 424 Faint Stars
We present a catalog of 424 common proper-motion companions to Hipparcosstars with good (>3 σ) parallaxes, thereby effectively providingnew parallaxes for these companions. Compared with typical stars in theHipparcos catalog, these stars are substantially dimmer. The catalogincludes 20 white dwarfs and an additional 29 stars withMV>14, the great majority of the latter being M dwarfs.
| Improved Astrometry and Photometry for the Luyten Catalog. II. Faint Stars and the Revised Catalog
We complete construction of a catalog containing improved astrometry andnew optical/infrared photometry for the vast majority of NLTT starslying in the overlap of regions covered by POSS I and by the secondincremental Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) release, approximately 44%of the sky. The epoch 2000 positions are typically accurate to 130 mas,the proper motions to 5.5 mas yr-1, and the V-J colors to0.25 mag. Relative proper motions of binary components are measured to 3mas yr-1. The false-identification rate is ~1% for11<~V<~18 and substantially less at brighter magnitudes. Theseimprovements permit the construction of a reduced proper-motion diagramthat, for the first time, allows one to classify NLTT stars intomain-sequence (MS) stars, subdwarfs (SDs), and white dwarfs (WDs). We inturn use this diagram to analyze the properties of both our catalog andthe NLTT catalog on which it is based. In sharp contrast to popularbelief, we find that NLTT incompleteness in the plane is almostcompletely concentrated in MS stars, and that SDs and WDs are detectedalmost uniformly over the sky δ>-33deg. Our catalogwill therefore provide a powerful tool to probe these populationsstatistically, as well as to reliably identify individual SDs and WDs.

| Vitesses radiales. Catalogue WEB: Wilson Evans Batten. Subtittle: Radial velocities: The Wilson-Evans-Batten catalogue.
We give a common version of the two catalogues of Mean Radial Velocitiesby Wilson (1963) and Evans (1978) to which we have added the catalogueof spectroscopic binary systems (Batten et al. 1989). For each star,when possible, we give: 1) an acronym to enter SIMBAD (Set ofIdentifications Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data) ofthe CDS (Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg). 2) the numberHIC of the HIPPARCOS catalogue (Turon 1992). 3) the CCDM number(Catalogue des Composantes des etoiles Doubles et Multiples) byDommanget & Nys (1994). For the cluster stars, a precise study hasbeen done, on the identificator numbers. Numerous remarks point out theproblems we have had to deal with.
| Determination of plasma temperatures and luminosities using multiple extreme-ultraviolet and X-ray filters
We carefully examine the techniques used to infer temperatures ofstellar coronal plasmas from the count rates of several broadbandinstruments in the X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet spectral ranges. Inparticular, we determine to what extent temperatures can be constrainedand the corresponding uncertainties in the luminosities and emissionmeasures lowered by fitting simultaneously count rates from the Einsteinimaging proportional counter (IPC), the ROSAT Position SensitiveProportional Counter (PSPC), the ROSAT Wide Field Camera (WFC) (bothfilters), and the EXOSAT Low Energy Telescope (LET) with the 3-Lexfilter. We use published plasma emissivities with solar photosphericabundances. Since it has been found that single-temperature plasmas donot fit IPC data well, we assume a two-temperature plasma model. We findthat, even with count rates from all of the above filters and overlyoptimistic error estimates, it is still not possible to determine aunique two-temperature solution. However, since the use of count ratesfrom many filters can reduce substantially the number of possiblesolutions, temperature solutions determined by other means can betested. We carry out such an analysis on a set of 18 nearby late-typestars to determine possible two-temperature solutions using multifilterphotometry, and we compare these results with the temperature solutionsderived by Schmitt et al. (1990) using IPC spectral data. In general,the two-temperature fits derived from the IPC spectral data areinconsistent with our results, with our data implying that, for manystars, the two temperatures derived by the IPC may be too low by about afactor of 2. The EXOSAT transmission grating Spectrometer (TGS) spectraof capella and sigma2 CrB support this conclusion. ForProcyon and 70 Oph, though, the presence of a temperature componentcooler than a million degress (not detected by the IPC) is deduced.While our analysis suggests the existence of more than one temperaturein the coronae of late-type stars, in many instances our WFC data appearto be inconsistent with the presence of significant emission measureover a broad temperature distribution. This, together with the successof two-temperature plasmas in fitting IPC and TGS data, implies that formany stars, the coronal emission measure distribution may in fact bedominated by two distinct temperature regimes.

| Optical and infrared photometry of dwarf M and K stars
Absolute U, B, V, R, I, J, H, K, and L photometry are given for a groupof dwarf M and K stars. Using black-body fits to the data, bolometricluminosities and radii are derived. The derived bolometric luminositiesare good to + or - 10 percent and the effective temperatures to + or -100 K. A comparison is made with the values derived by other authors.The derived radii are 14 percent smaller than those derived from therevised Barnes et al. (1978) relation involving (V - R).
| BVRI photometry of the Gliese Catalogue stars
Photoelectri BVRI photometry on the Cousins (Kron-Cape) system has beenobtained for many of the southern faint stars in the Gliese Catalog(1969). This extends the work of Cousins (1980) and provides a uniformset of data for the nearby stars. Several red dwarfs are noted, whichwere used to define the red end of the Cousins system.
| G. P. Kuiper's spectral classifications of proper-motion stars
Spectral classifications are listed for over 3200 stars, mainly of largeproper motion, observed and classified by Kuiper during the years1937-1944 at the Yerkes and McDonald Observatories. While Kuiper himselfpublished many of his types, and while improved classifications are nowavailable for many of these stars, much of value remains. For many ofthe objects, no other spectral data exist.
