WIYN Open Cluster Study. XXVI. Improved kinematic membership and spectroscopy of IC 2391

I. Platais, C. Melo, J. -C. Mermilliod +5

[Abridged] Contex. Young open clusters provide important clues to the interface between the main sequence and pre-main-sequence phases of stellar evolution. The young and nearby op…

Does rotation of B stars depend on metallicity? preliminary results from GIRAFFE spectra

F. Royer, P. North, C. Melo +4

We show the vsini distribution of main sequence B stars in sites of various metallicities, in the absolute magnitude range -3.34 < Mv < -2.17. These include Galactic stars in the f…

The evolution of lithium depletion in young open clusters: NGC 6475

Paola Sestito, Sofia Randich, Jean-Claude Mermilliod +1

We have carried out a high resolution spectroscopic survey of the 220-250 Myr old cluster NGC 6475: our main purpose is to investigate Li evolution during the early stages of the M…

On the peculiar red clump morphology in the open clusters NGC 752 and NGC 7789

L. Girardi, J. -C. Mermilliod, G. Carraro

The red clump stars in the open cluster NGC 752 present a peculiar distribution in the colour-magnitude diagran (CMD): the clump is observed to present a faint extension, slightly…

Investigation of the Praesepe cluster. III. Radial velocity and binarity of the F5-K0 Klein-Wassink stars

Jean-Claude Mermilliod, Michel Mayor

Coravel observations of 103 F5-K0 stars in the Praesepe cluster yielded 24 spectroscopic binaries (3 are non-members), and 20 orbits were determined, with periods from 4 to 7400 da…
