Keck Interferometer Observations of FU Orionis Objects
We present new K-band long-baseline interferometer observations of threeyoung stellar objects of the FU Orionis class, namely, V1057 Cyg, V1515Cyg, and Z CMa-SE, obtained at the Keck Interferometer during itscommissioning science period. The interferometer clearly resolves thesource of near-infrared emission in all three objects. Using simplegeometric models, we derive size scales (0.5-4.5 AU) for this emission.All three objects appear significantly more resolved than expected fromsimple models of accretion disks tuned to fit the broadband optical andinfrared spectrophotometry. We explore variations in the key parametersthat are able to lower the predicted visibility amplitudes to themeasured levels and conclude that accretion disks alone do not reproducethe spectral energy distributions and K-band visibilitiessimultaneously. We conclude that either disk models are inadequate todescribe the near-infrared emission or additional source components areneeded. We hypothesize that large-scale emission (tens of AU) in theinterferometer field of view is responsible for the surprisingly lowvisibilities. This emission may arise in scattering by large envelopesbelieved to surround these objects.
| Contributions to the Nearby Stars (NStars) Project: Spectroscopy of Stars Earlier than M0 within 40 Parsecs: The Northern Sample. I.
We have embarked on a project, under the aegis of the Nearby Stars(NStars)/Space Interferometry Mission Preparatory Science Program, toobtain spectra, spectral types, and, where feasible, basic physicalparameters for the 3600 dwarf and giant stars earlier than M0 within 40pc of the Sun. In this paper, we report on the results of this projectfor the first 664 stars in the northern hemisphere. These resultsinclude precise, homogeneous spectral types, basic physical parameters(including the effective temperature, surface gravity, and overallmetallicity [M/H]), and measures of the chromospheric activity of ourprogram stars. Observed and derived data presented in this paper arealso available on the project's Web site.
| The Henry Draper Extension Charts: A catalogue of accurate positions, proper motions, magnitudes and spectral types of 86933 stars
The Henry Draper Extension Charts (HDEC), published in the form offinding charts, provide spectral classification for some 87000 starsmostly between 10th and 11th magnitude. This data, being highlyvaluable, as yet was practically unusable for modern computer-basedastronomy. An earlier pilot project (Roeser et al. 1991) demonstrated apossibility to convert this into a star catalogue, using measurements ofcartesian coordinates of stars on the charts and positions of theAstrographic Catalogue (AC) for subsequent identification. We presenthere a final HDEC catalogue comprising accurate positions, propermotions, magnitudes and spectral classes for 86933 stars of the HenryDraper Extension Charts.
