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.
| BVR observations of polarization parameters of stars in reflection nebulas
The observed polarizations of the nuclei of reflection nebulas and fieldstars in B, V, R filters are given. A connection has been found betweenthe direction of the polarization vector, the structure of thereflection nebula, and the shape of the cloud in which the nebula issituated. The direction of the plane of polarization for stars seenthrough the filamentary structure of a nebula is the same as thedirection of the filaments. Stars situated at the edges of clouds andchannels have direction of the polarization vector the same as theapparent boundary of the cloud.
| R associations. VI - The reddening law in dust clouds and the nature of early-type emission stars in nebulosity from a study of five associations
Positions, identification charts, UBVRIKLMN photometry and spectraltypes are given for stars, illuminating reflection nebulae that arevisible on the POSS prints, which have been identified in fiveassociations. With a ratio of total to selective extinction of 4.2, thereddening law applicable to the dust clouds in which the stars areembedded is steeper than normal. The five associations exhibit 18early-type stars with circumstellar shells, of which those with spectraltypes earlier than B5 characteristically have weak IR excesses, incontrast to the strong excesses indicative of circumstellar dust, oflater-type stars. Color-magnitude charts show a distribution lying abovethe ZAMS by up to about 2 mag for both the circumstellar shell stars andthose classified as rapid rotators. It is suggested that (1) rapidrotation accounts for the scatter in the color-magnitude diagram, and(2) many of the nebulous early-type emission-line stars are rapidrotators rather than pre-main sequence objects.
