Investigation of the Pleiades cluster. III. Additional corona members.
The analysis of CORAVEL radial velocities of 93 stars selected on thebasis of their proper motion and Geneva CCD photometric observations for57 stars have permitted to identify 25 new members in the outer part ofthe Pleiades. Several spectroscopic binaries have been discovered, buttheir membership is not clear. Two orbits with short periods have beendetermined, but both stars are probably non-members. The total number ofmember stars in the outer part of the Pleiades in the spectral rangeF5-K0 (0.45 < B-V < 0.90) is now 81 which is comparable to thenumber of stars known in Hertzsprung's central area (88 stars) in thesame spectral domain. Therefore at least 48 % of the F5-K0 main-sequencestars are located in the outer part of the cluster. And the census isprobably still incomplete.
