Fundamental properties of pre-main sequence stars in young, southern star forming regions: metallicities
David J. James, Claudio Melo, Nuno C. Santos +1
Aims: The primary motivation for this project is to search for metal-rich star forming regions, in which, stars of super-solar metallicity will be created, as hopefully, will be ex…
Common Proper Motion Search for Faint Companions Around Early-Type Field Stars - Progress Report
Valentin D. Ivanov, G. Chauvin, C. Foellmi +5
The multiplicity of early-type stars is still not well established. The derived binary fraction is different for individual star forming regions, suggesting a connection with the a…
Rotational velocities of the giants in symbiotic stars: I. D'-type symbiotics
R. K. Zamanov, M. F. Bode, C. H. F. Melo +3
We have measured the rotational velocities (v.sini) of the mass donors in a number of D'--type symbiotic stars, using the cross-correlation function method. Four from five D' symbi…
The cool atmospheres of the binary brown dwarf eps Indi B
M. F. Sterzik, E. Pantin, M. Hartung +7
We have imaged Indi B, the closest brown dwarf binary known, with VISIR at the VLT in three narrow-band mid-infrared bandpasses located around 8.6m, 10.5m and 11.3m. W…
Doppler follow-up of OGLE planetary transit candidates in Carina
F. Pont, F. Bouchy, C. Melo +4
We present the results of our high-resolution spectroscopic follow-up of 42 planetary transit candidates in Carina from the OGLE survey. This follow-up has already allowed the disc…
