Four-colour photometry of eclipsing binaries. XLI.. uvby light curves for AD Bootis, HW Canis Majoris, SW Canis Majoris, VZ Hydrae, and WZ Ophiuchi
Context: Accurate mass, radius, and abundance determinations frombinaries provide important information on stellar evolution, fundamentalto central fields in modern astrophysics and cosmology. Aims:Within the long-term Copenhagen Binary Project, we aim to obtainhigh-quality light curves and standard photometry for double-lineddetached eclipsing binaries with late A, F, and G type main-sequencecomponents, needed for the determination of accurate absolute dimensionsand abundances, and for detailed comparisons with results from recentstellar evolutionary models. Methods: Between March 1985 and July2007, we carried out photometric observations of AD Boo, HW CMa, SW CMa,V636 Cen, VZ Hya, and WZ Oph at the Strömgren Automatic Telescopeat ESO, La Silla. Results: We obtained complete {uvby} lightcurves, ephemerides, and standard {uvby}? indices for all sixsystems. For V636 Cen and HW CMa, we present the first modern lightcurves, whereas for AD Boo, SW CMa, VZ Hya, and WZ Oph, they are bothmore accurate and more complete than earlier data. Due to a high orbitaleccentricity (e = 0.50), combined with a low orbital inclination (i =84.7°), only one eclipse, close to periastron, occurs for HW CMa.For the two other eccentric systems, V636 Cen (e = 0.134) and SW CMa (e= 0.316), apsidal motion has been detected with periods of 5270 ±335 and 14 900 ± 3600 years, respectively.Based on observations carried out with the Strömgren AutomaticTelescope (SAT) at ESO, La Silla, Chile.

| Hipparcos astrometry for 257 stars using Tycho-2 data
We present improved Hipparcos astrometry for 257 Hipparcos stars,resolved into 342 components. For 64 of the stars no astrometry wasobtained in the Hipparcos Catalogue, while for the remaining starsadditional components have been added by this solution or the positionshave been revised considerably. We have used the published Hipparcostransit data for the new solutions, together with results from thesecond reduction of the Tycho data for defining better initial values.Based on observations made with the ESA Hipparcos astrometry satellite.Table 3 is only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymousftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html
| Walraven photometry of nearby southern OB associations
Homogeneous Walraven (VBLUW) photometry is presented for 5260 stars inthe regions of five nearby southern OB associations: Scorpio Centaurus(Sco OB2), Orion OB1, Canis Major OB1, Monoceros OB1, and Scutum OB2.Derived V and (B - V) in the Johnson system are included.
