Contribution to the search for binaries among Am stars - VII. Orbital elements of seven new spectroscopic binaries, implications on tidal effects
We present the results of a radial-velocity study of seven Am stars (HD3970, 35035, 93946, 151746, 153286, 204751 and 224002) observed at theObservatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP) and the Cambridge Observatorieswith CORAVEL instruments. We find that these systems are single-linedspectroscopic binaries whose orbital elements are determined for thefirst time. Among this sample, HD 35035 and 153286 have long periods,with P = 2.8 and 9.5yr, respectively, which is rather unusual for Amstars. Four systems have orbits with large eccentricities (with e >=0.4). Physical parameters are inferred from this study for the primariesof those systems.We then investigate the influence of tidal interaction, which hasalready led to the synchronism of the primaries and/or to thecircularization of the orbits of some systems belonging to this sample.We extend this study to the list of 33 objects studied in this series ofpapers and derive values of the critical fractional radii r = R/a forcircularization and synchronization of Am-type binaries. We find thatthe stars with r >~ 0.15 are orbiting on circular orbits and thatsynchronism is likely for all components with r >~ 0.20.

Catalogue of averaged stellar effective magnetic fields. I. Chemically peculiar A and B type stars
This paper presents the catalogue and the method of determination ofaveraged quadratic effective magnetic fields < B_e > for 596 mainsequence and giant stars. The catalogue is based on measurements of thestellar effective (or mean longitudinal) magnetic field strengths B_e,which were compiled from the existing literature.We analysed the properties of 352 chemically peculiar A and B stars inthe catalogue, including Am, ApSi, He-weak, He-rich, HgMn, ApSrCrEu, andall ApSr type stars. We have found that the number distribution of allchemically peculiar (CP) stars vs. averaged magnetic field strength isdescribed by a decreasing exponential function. Relations of this typehold also for stars of all the analysed subclasses of chemicalpeculiarity. The exponential form of the above distribution function canbreak down below about 100 G, the latter value representingapproximately the resolution of our analysis for A type stars.Table A.1 and its references are only available in electronic form atthe CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/407/631 and Tables 3 to 9are only available in electronic form at http://www.edpsciences.org

Radial velocities. Measurements of 2800 B2-F5 stars for HIPPARCOS
Radial velocities have been determined for a sample of 2930 B2-F5 stars,95% observed by the Hipparcos satellite in the north hemisphere and 80%without reliable radial velocity up to now. Observations were obtainedat the Observatoire de Haute Provence with a dispersion of 80Ä,mm(-1) with the aim of studying stellar and galactic dynamics.Radial velocities have been measured by correlation with templates ofthe same spectral class. The mean obtained precision is 3.0 km s(-1)with three observations. A new MK spectral classification is estimatedfor all stars. Based on observations made at the Haute ProvenceObservatory, France and on data from The Hipparcos Catalogue, ESA.Tables 4, 5 and 6 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.htm

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.

Determination of Physical Characteristics of Atmospheres of B-Stars and A-Stars by the Balmer Indices Method
Spectra (28 Å/mm) have been obtained with the telescopes BTA andZeiss-600 and spectrophotometry has been performed for 57 bright starsof B and A spectral classes. With the help of a new method of Balmerindices effective temperatures Te and gravities g in theatmospheres of these stars have been determined. The internal accuracyof the method is high, the effective temperature determinations agreewith the calibration by Kopylov. Systematic discrepancy in lg g found bythe method of Balmer indices (from the features of the continuousspectrum in the region of the Balmer jump),and from the equivalentwidths of the first members of the Balmer series is revealed. Possiblereasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

Metallicism among A and F giant stars
132 stars considered as A and F giants have been studied for theirproperties in the Geneva photometric system. It is shown that thissystem to derive the temperature, absolute magnitude and Fe/H value forstars in this part of the HR diagram. 36 percent of the stars of oursample exhibit an enhanced value Delta m2 that can be interpreted interms of Fe/H. The red limit of stars having an enhanced Fe/H value is0.225 in B2-V1 or 6500 K in Teff. This corresponds to the limit definedby Vauclair and Vauclair (1982) where the diffusion timescale is equalto the stellar lifetime and permits the assumption that the diffusion isthe process responsible for the metallicism observed in the A and Fgiants.

Stellar magnetic fields
Strong evidence of magnetic fields is shown by white dwarves, chemicallypeculiar stars, and late-type dwarves. The magnetic data available, forCP stars agree with the oblique rotator model. The distribution of themagnetic axis inclination could be random or a mixture of low and highobliquities. The data are consistent with rotational braking on the mainsequence and with field decay. Moreover, they show an anti-correlationbetween the magnetic field strength and the rotational velocity.

Lists of photometric AM candidates
The Geneva photometric m parameter (Nicolet and Cramer, 1982) is used inorder to select Am photometric candidates from the Rufener (1981)catalogue. Two lists are given, the first containing field stars and thesecond cluster stars. According to the photometric criteria thediffusion process probably responsible for the Am phenomenon takes placerather quickly as Am candidates are present in young clusters. It isconfirmed that the phenomenon is enhanced by low rotational velocity andhigh metallicity. The age seems to slightly affect the Am phenomenon.

Absolute transition probabilities in the spectra of EU II. III - Astrophysical applications
Astrophysical implications of a new scale of accurate oscillatorstrengths obtained for Eu II are discussed. A new value of the solarphotospheric abundance of Europium is derived: A(Eu) equals 0.51 plus orminus 0.08, in the usual logarithmic scale. Some stellar implications ofthe new gf-values are also presented.

UBVRI photometry of 225 AM stars
UBVRI photometry of 225 Am stars taken from Mendoza's (1974) catalog ispresented. The results are compared with those obtained by Feinstein(1974) for 21 of the stars and with the values of Johnson et al. (1966).It is assumed that in the first approximation the (V-I) color index ofan unreddened Am star is equal to that of a normal main-sequence star; astandard main sequence is defined for A and early F stars, and thefive-color photometry is analyzed by means of plots of U-V vs. V-I, B-Vvs. V-I, and V-R vs. V-I. Mean color deficiencies of Am stars areexamined, and it is suggested that an unreddened star located below themain-sequence A0-F2 line in the (V-I, U-V) plane is a photometric Amstar. It is concluded that: (1) photometric Am stars have colordeficiencies (as a function of V-I) which, on the average, are 0.07 magin (U-V) color index and 0.025 mag in (B-V) color index; (2) Am starswith V-R less than 0.25 mag may also have a color deficiency of about0.01 mag; (3) Am stars with V-R greater than 0.3 mag may have a colorexcess of approximately 0.01 mag; and (4) Am stars with V-R between 0.25and 0.3 mag may have normal colors.

Ultraviolet photometric observations of AP and AM stars
ANS five color ultraviolet photometric observations of 79 hot and coolAp stars and 26 Am stars are presented. The positions of Ap and Am starsin ultraviolet color-color diagrams differ from those of normalmain-sequence stars of the same spectral type. The deviation is largestfor the cooler Ap stars. The ultraviolet flux deficiency known to existfor the hot (early type) Ap stars appears to decrease towards laterspectral types and is absent for the Am stars. The light variable HR5857 shows ultraviolet light variations of which the amplitude graduallydecreases towards longer wavelengths.

The Metallic-Line Star HD 153286
The spectrum of the metallic-line and magnetic star HD 153286 has beenstudied. The line intensity is constant within the limit of the errors,while the radial velocity is slightly variable. A differential analysisby means of the curve-of-growth method has been made, using 5 And, F5 Vas standard star. Moreover, an atmospheric model has been computed; theresults of the fine analysis indicate a defect of Sc by a factor of 30and a defect of Ca by a factor included between 4 and 25; Si, Ti, V, Crand Fe are normal, Mn, Co, Ni in slight excess by factors includedbetween 2 and 5. Sr, Y, Zr, Ba and La are in excess by factors lowerthan 10; Ce, Nd and Sm are almost normal; Eu and Gd are in excess byfactors of 250 and 4, respectively. These results are compared with thepredictions of the diffusion theory.
