CCD B & V Photometry of the Young, Active, Late-type Star PZ Telescopii
We present new CCD B and V photometry, obtained at the BrightwaterObservatory in June and July 2006, of PZ Telescopii (HD 174429), ayoung, rapidly rotating late-type star with an active chromosphere. TheCCD data were collected with a short focal-length telescope, giving afield of view near 0.80 x 0.55 deg, so target and comparison stars couldbe observed simultaneously. A periodogram analysis of the PZ Tel datareturned a value of 0.94 d, consistent with earlier photometry. We foundthe amplitude of variation was ~0.06 mag in B and V, with evidence fora small colour variation of between 0.01 and 0.02 mag, the star beingredder when fainter. From a comparison with previously publishedphotometry we find that the amplitude of V-light variation is amongstthe smallest ever observed. There is an indication that there was amaximum in the long-term brightness level near V=8.28 around the year2000, with the current data being several hundredths of a magnitudefainter.
| A catalog of bright calibrator stars for 200-m baseline near-infrared stellar interferometry
We present in this paper a catalog of reference stars suitable forcalibrating infrared interferometric observations. In the K band,visibilities can be calibrated with a precision of 1% on baselines up to200 meters for the whole sky, and up to 300 meters for some part of thesky. This work, extending to longer baselines a previous catalogcompiled by Bordé et al. (2002, A&A, 393, 183), isparticularl y well adapted to hectometric-class interferometers such asthe Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI, Glindemann et al. 2003,Proc. SPIE, 4838, 89) or the CHARA array (ten Brummelaar et al. 2003,Proc. SPIE, 4838, 69) when one is observing well-resolved, high-surfacebrightness objects (K 8). We use the absolute spectro-photometriccalibration method introduced by Cohen et al. (1999, AJ, 117, 1864) toderive the angular diameters of our new set of 948 G8-M0 calibratorstars extracted from the IRAS, 2MASS and MSX catalogs. Angular stellardiameters range from 0.6 mas to 1.8 mas (median is 1.1 mas) with amedian precision of 1.35%. For both the northern and southernhemispheres, the closest calibrator star is always less than 10°away.
| CHARM2: An updated Catalog of High Angular Resolution Measurements
We present an update of the Catalog of High Angular ResolutionMeasurements (CHARM, Richichi & Percheron \cite{CHARM}, A&A,386, 492), which includes results available until July 2004. CHARM2 is acompilation of direct measurements by high angular resolution methods,as well as indirect estimates of stellar diameters. Its main goal is toprovide a reference list of sources which can be used for calibrationand verification observations with long-baseline optical and near-IRinterferometers. Single and binary stars are included, as are complexobjects from circumstellar shells to extragalactic sources. The presentupdate provides an increase of almost a factor of two over the previousedition. Additionally, it includes several corrections and improvements,as well as a cross-check with the valuable public release observationsof the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). A total of 8231entries for 3238 unique sources are now present in CHARM2. Thisrepresents an increase of a factor of 3.4 and 2.0, respectively, overthe contents of the previous version of CHARM.The catalog is only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/431/773
| Long-term monitoring of active stars. VII. UBV(RI)_c photometry collected in March 1991
In the framework of an extensive program focusing on the globalproperties and evolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)_cphotometry of 19 selected stars, collected at the European SouthernObservatory over the 15-31 March 1991 interval is presented. Significantevolution of the light curves, period variations and evidence forlong-term variability of the global degree of spottedness are found.Most of the spectral classifications are discussed. A flare event wasdetected for the star HD 127535 = V 841 Cen. These observationscontribute to the establishment of a time-extended photometric databasewhich can give important clues on topics such as the stability ofspotted areas, differential rotation, solar-like cycles and thecorrelation between inhomogeneities at different atmospheric levelsFigure 1 to 24 are only available on the on-line version of A&A athttp://www.ed-phys.fr}. based on data collected at the European SouthernObservatory, La Silla, Chile.
