The Geneva-Copenhagen survey of the Solar neighbourhood. Ages, metallicities, and kinematic properties of 14 000 F and G dwarfs
We present and discuss new determinations of metallicity, rotation, age,kinematics, and Galactic orbits for a complete, magnitude-limited, andkinematically unbiased sample of 16 682 nearby F and G dwarf stars. Our63 000 new, accurate radial-velocity observations for nearly 13 500stars allow identification of most of the binary stars in the sampleand, together with published uvbyβ photometry, Hipparcosparallaxes, Tycho-2 proper motions, and a few earlier radial velocities,complete the kinematic information for 14 139 stars. These high-qualityvelocity data are supplemented by effective temperatures andmetallicities newly derived from recent and/or revised calibrations. Theremaining stars either lack Hipparcos data or have fast rotation. Amajor effort has been devoted to the determination of new isochrone agesfor all stars for which this is possible. Particular attention has beengiven to a realistic treatment of statistical biases and errorestimates, as standard techniques tend to underestimate these effectsand introduce spurious features in the age distributions. Our ages agreewell with those by Edvardsson et al. (\cite{edv93}), despite severalastrophysical and computational improvements since then. We demonstrate,however, how strong observational and theoretical biases cause thedistribution of the observed ages to be very different from that of thetrue age distribution of the sample. Among the many basic relations ofthe Galactic disk that can be reinvestigated from the data presentedhere, we revisit the metallicity distribution of the G dwarfs and theage-metallicity, age-velocity, and metallicity-velocity relations of theSolar neighbourhood. Our first results confirm the lack of metal-poor Gdwarfs relative to closed-box model predictions (the ``G dwarfproblem''), the existence of radial metallicity gradients in the disk,the small change in mean metallicity of the thin disk since itsformation and the substantial scatter in metallicity at all ages, andthe continuing kinematic heating of the thin disk with an efficiencyconsistent with that expected for a combination of spiral arms and giantmolecular clouds. Distinct features in the distribution of the Vcomponent of the space motion are extended in age and metallicity,corresponding to the effects of stochastic spiral waves rather thanclassical moving groups, and may complicate the identification ofthick-disk stars from kinematic criteria. More advanced analyses of thisrich material will require careful simulations of the selection criteriafor the sample and the distribution of observational errors.Based on observations made with the Danish 1.5-m telescope at ESO, LaSilla, Chile, and with the Swiss 1-m telescope at Observatoire deHaute-Provence, France.Complete Tables 1 and 2 are only available in electronic form at the CDSvia anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/418/989
| Vitesses radiales. Catalogue WEB: Wilson Evans Batten. Subtittle: Radial velocities: The Wilson-Evans-Batten catalogue.
We give a common version of the two catalogues of Mean Radial Velocitiesby Wilson (1963) and Evans (1978) to which we have added the catalogueof spectroscopic binary systems (Batten et al. 1989). For each star,when possible, we give: 1) an acronym to enter SIMBAD (Set ofIdentifications Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data) ofthe CDS (Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg). 2) the numberHIC of the HIPPARCOS catalogue (Turon 1992). 3) the CCDM number(Catalogue des Composantes des etoiles Doubles et Multiples) byDommanget & Nys (1994). For the cluster stars, a precise study hasbeen done, on the identificator numbers. Numerous remarks point out theproblems we have had to deal with.

An updated version of my catalogue of radio stars is presented. Somestatistics and availability are discussed.
| Stroemgren photometry of F- and G-type stars brighter than V = 9.6. I. UVBY photometry
Within the framework of a large photometric observing program, designedto investigate the Galaxy's structure and evolution, Hβ photometryis being made for about 9000 stars. As a by-product, supplementary uvbyphotometry has been made. The results are presented in a cataloguecontaining 6924 uvby observations of 6190 stars, all south ofδ=+38deg. The overall internal rms errors of one observation(transformed to the standard system) of a program star in the interval6.5
| Detection of water vapor in T Tauri stars
We have carried out near-infrared spectrophotometry for 52 T Tauri starsin the Taurus-Auriga region in the wavelength range from 0.9 to 2.5micrometers. Most of the observed sources show spectral energydistributions flatter than Planck curves. In more than half of oursample, wide and shallow dips due to water vapor are superposed at 1.4and 1.9 micrometers on the spectra. After decomposition of the spectrainto central star and disk components, the water vapor bands stillremain in the disk component. We conclude that water vapor is located inthe disk component at least 17 T Tauri stars (33%) of the sample. Theorigin of the water vapor is discussed.
| A 1.5 GHz radio survey of the Hyades open stellar cluster
Results of a radio survey of the Hyades open stellar cluster carried outwith the VLA at 1.5 GHz are reported. Seventeen fields containing over150 cataloged stars were mapped down to a limiting sensitivity rangingfrom 0.3 mJy at the centers of the fields to 0.9 mJy at a distance of 20arcmin from field centers. Two stars were detected as radio sources: theevolved spectroscopic binary V471 Tau, consisting of a white dwarf and ared dwarf; and the apparently premain-sequence G+K star spectroscopicbinary HD 27130. The failure to detect any single stars as radio sourcesis generally consistent with the age-rotation-activity paradigm,according to which stellar activity is due to magnetic fields producedby dynamo action in rapidly rotating stars and should decrease with ageas a star spins down due to magnetic braking. It is concluded that theHyades M dwarf population is not more active at radio wavelengths thanthe nearby flare star population, or else the number of flare stars inthe Hyades is much less than presently assumed.
| A study of the motion, membership, and distance of the Hyades cluster
Particular attention is given to the role of the convergent-point, ormoving cluster, method in the determination of the Hyades distance, andthe apparent discrepancy between its results and those of other Hyadesdistance indicators. The Hyades photographic plate material isconsidered along with the approaches used in the measurements, propermotion reductions, coordinate reductions, and aspects of photography.Problems of cluster membership determination are also discussed.
