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.
| A VBLUW photometric survey of the Pleiades cluster
Photometric data are presented for 390 known or suspected members of thePleiades cluster. The data were obtained in 1979 at ESO using theWalraven VBLUW photometer and the Dutch 91-cm telescope. A comparisonwas made with subsets obtained with the same telescope andinstrumentation at the former Leiden Southern Station at the SAAO annexduring 1976 and 1977, and with data obtained at ESO during 1980 and1981. The much improved performance of the telescope and the photometerat their new site is obvious from these comparisons. The stars measuredcomprise the selection of possible members by Hertzsprung (1947)brighter than m(pg) = 14.5 and a selection of possible members in theouter region of the cluster by Pels et al. (1975). Of the starsselected, 66 were found not to be members. A few of these are possiblyescaping members. The present data set provides a well determined mainsequence over the range K2V to B9V, as well as data on some of theprobably premain-sequence K2-to-K5 and postmain-sequence B8-to-B6 stars.Finding charts for the stars selected by Pels are presented in anappendix.
