On the infrared void in the Lupus dark clouds
Strömgren uvbyβ photometry observations obtained for 205 starsin the general direction of a void in the IRAS 100-μm emission fromthe Lupus dark cloud complex are presented and analysed. The colourexcess versus distance diagram confirms the existence of a regiondepleted from interstellar material, which is also seen in the ROSATsoft X-ray background emission map. The distance to the surroundingmaterial is estimated as being within the interval from 60 to 100pc.This result is in disagreement with previous distance estimates to thesupposed supernova that has been suggested as responsible for clearingthe region from dust. As an alternative, the data presented support thesuggestion that the void may have been produced by the detachment ofmaterial from the interface between LoopI and the Local Bubble as aconsequence of hydromagnetic instabilities. Moreover, the distributionof colour excess as a function of distance supports a value of ~150pc asthe most probable distance to the dark cloud known as Lupus1.
| Two-colour photometry for 9473 components of close Hipparcos double and multiple stars
Using observations obtained with the Tycho instrument of the ESAHipparcos satellite, a two-colour photometry is produced for componentsof more than 7 000 Hipparcos double and multiple stars with angularseparations 0.1 to 2.5 arcsec. We publish 9473 components of 5173systems with separations above 0.3 arcsec. The majority of them did nothave Tycho photometry in the Hipparcos catalogue. The magnitudes arederived in the Tycho B_T and V_T passbands, similar to the Johnsonpassbands. Photometrically resolved components of the binaries withstatistically significant trigonometric parallaxes can be put on an HRdiagram, the majority of them for the first time. Based on observationsmade with the ESA Hipparcos satellite.
| Starlight polarization and CO observations towards the Lupus clouds
We performed an observational study of the dark filaments Lupus 1 andLupus 4 using both polarimetric observations of 190 stars and a sampleof 72 ^12CO profiles towards these clouds. We have estimated lowerlimits to the distances of Lupus 1 and Lupus 4 (>~ 140 and >~ 125pc, respectively). The observational strategy of the survey allows us tocompare the projected magnetic field in an extended area around eachcloud with the magnetic field direction observed to prevail along theclouds. Lupus 4 could have collapsed along the magnetic field lines,while in Lupus 1 the magnetic field appears to be less ordered, havingthe major axis of the filaments parallel to the large-scale projectedmagnetic field. These differences would imply that both filaments havedifferent pattern evolutions. From the CO observations we have probedthe velocity fields of the filaments and the spatial extension of themolecular gas with respect to the dust.

| Micrometer observations of double stars and new pairs. XIII
From a program of double star observations which emphasizes orbital,neglected, and newly discovered pairs, results obtained from October1984 to January 1987 are presented. A total of 3030 visual and 550photographic measures are listed. The positions in WDS format andDurchmusterung numbers are shown for 117 pairs for which firstobservations appear in this paper. Magnitudes are estimated for some ofthe objects.
