| A catalog of K giants at the South Galactic Pole - Broadband and DDO photometry and radial velocities
We describe a sample of K giants at the South Galactic Pole, selected toexamine the chemical and kinematical properties of stars perpendicularto the galactic plane and to measure the local column density of thedisk. We report velocities, abundances, absolute magnitudes, andbroadband BV photometry for over 500 giants.
| Local dark matter from a carefully selected sample
The precise data obtained by Flynn and Freeman (1991) on K giants at thesouth Galactic pole are used to analyze the amount of local dark matterin which the systematic effects can be modeled easily and evaluatedaccurately. The method of Bahcall (1984) is employed to solve theself-consistent equations for the distribution of dark matter. TheK-giant survey is found to provide significant evidence for disk darkmatter. Taking into account all recognized sources of error using astatistical test devised by Gould (1989, 1990), a model with no darkmatter is inconsistent with the data at the 86-percent confidence level.The best-fit P-model (in which dark matter is distributed proportionallyto known matter) has 53 percent more dark matter than visible matter.
| Spectroscopic orbits of eclipsing binaries - AA UMa
High dispersion and time resolution spectra for the eclipsing binary AAUMa, obtained using an intensified Reticon, were measured bycross-correlation techniques. The spectra of the two components arefound to be very similar, and AA UMa is shown to belong to Subtype W ofW UMa binaries. The orbital elements of the system are determined andcompared with other W UMa binaries. It is found that the orbital periodis 0.48171 days and that the estimated mean mass center velocity for thesystem is -34.8 km/s. The mass ratio between the components isdetermined to be 0.54 and the magnitude difference in the wavelengthobserved is estimated to be 0.36.
