Long term photometric monitoring with the Mercator telescope. Frequencies and mode identification of variable O-B stars
Aims. We selected a large sample of O-B stars that were considered as(candidate) slowly pulsating B, β Cep, and Maia stars after theanalysis of their hipparcos data. We analysed our new seven passbandgeneva data collected for these stars during the first three years ofscientific operations of the mercator telescope. We performed afrequency analysis for 28 targets with more than 50 high-qualitymeasurements to improve their variability classification. For thepulsating stars, we tried both to identify the modes and to search forrotationally split modes. Methods: . We searched for frequenciesin all the geneva passbands and colours by using two independentfrequency analysis methods and we applied a 3.6 S/N-level criterion tolocate the significant peaks in the periodograms. The modes wereidentified by applying the method of photometric amplitudes for which wecalculated a large, homogeneous grid of equilibrium models to perform apulsational stability analysis. When both the radius and the projectedrotational velocity of an object are known, we determined a lower limitfor the rotation frequency to estimate the expected frequency spacingsin rotationally split pulsation modes. Results: . We detected 61frequencies, among which 33 are new. We classified 21 objects aspulsating variables (7 new confirmed pulsating stars, including 2 hybridβ Cep/SPB stars), 6 as non-pulsating variables (binaries or spottedstars), and 1 as photometrically constant. All the Maia candidates werereclassified into other variability classes. We performed modeidentification for the pulsating variables for the first time. The mostprobable ℓ value is 0, 1, 2, and 4 for 1, 31, 9, and 5 modes,respectively, including only 4 unambiguous identifications. For 7 starswe cannot rule out that some of the observed frequencies belong to thesame rotationally split mode. For 4 targets we may begin to resolveclose frequency multiplets. Based on observations collected with the p7 photometer attached to theFlemish 1.2-m mercator telescope situated at the Roque de los Muchachosobservatory on La Palma (Spain).

| Statistical Constraints for Astrometric Binaries with Nonlinear Motion
Useful constraints on the orbits and mass ratios of astrometric binariesin the Hipparcos catalog are derived from the measured proper motiondifferences of Hipparcos and Tycho-2 (Δμ), accelerations ofproper motions (μ˙), and second derivatives of proper motions(μ̈). It is shown how, in some cases, statistical bounds can beestimated for the masses of the secondary components. Two catalogs ofastrometric binaries are generated, one of binaries with significantproper motion differences and the other of binaries with significantaccelerations of their proper motions. Mathematical relations betweenthe astrometric observables Δμ, μ˙, and μ̈ andthe orbital elements are derived in the appendices. We find a remarkabledifference between the distribution of spectral types of stars withlarge accelerations but small proper motion differences and that ofstars with large proper motion differences but insignificantaccelerations. The spectral type distribution for the former sample ofbinaries is the same as the general distribution of all stars in theHipparcos catalog, whereas the latter sample is clearly dominated bysolar-type stars, with an obvious dearth of blue stars. We point outthat the latter set includes mostly binaries with long periods (longerthan about 6 yr).
| 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.
| Radial velocities. Measurements of 2800 B2-F5 stars for HIPPARCOS
Radial velocities have been determined for a sample of 2930 B2-F5 stars,95% observed by the Hipparcos satellite in the north hemisphere and 80%without reliable radial velocity up to now. Observations were obtainedat the Observatoire de Haute Provence with a dispersion of 80Ä,mm(-1) with the aim of studying stellar and galactic dynamics.Radial velocities have been measured by correlation with templates ofthe same spectral class. The mean obtained precision is 3.0 km s(-1)with three observations. A new MK spectral classification is estimatedfor all stars. Based on observations made at the Haute ProvenceObservatory, France and on data from The Hipparcos Catalogue, ESA.Tables 4, 5 and 6 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.htm
| UvbyHbeta_ photometry of main sequence A type stars.
We present Stroemgren uvby and Hbeta_ photometry for a set of575 northern main sequence A type stars, most of them belonging to theHipparcos Input Catalogue, with V from 5mag to 10mag and with knownradial velocities. These observations enlarge the catalogue we began tocompile some years ago to more than 1500 stars. Our catalogue includeskinematic and astrophysical data for each star. Our future goal is toperform an accurate analysis of the kinematical behaviour of these starsin the solar neighbourhood.
| Radial velocity measurements. I - Ground-based observations of the program stars for the HIPPARCOS satellite
The radial velocities of 272 stars brighter than m(pg) = 8.5 aredetermined by digital microphotometric measurement of plates obtainedwith dispersion 80 A/mm using the Marly slit spectrograph on the 120-cmtelescope of the Observatoire de Haute Provence. The objects wereselected as probable members of the input catalog for the ESA Hipparcosastrometric satellite. The measurement techniques and data-reductionprocedures are described in detail, and the results are presented inextensive tables and graphs and briefly characterized.
