Two-colour photometry for 9473 components of close Hipparcos double and multiple stars
Using observations obtained with the Tycho instrument of the ESAHipparcos satellite, a two-colour photometry is produced for componentsof more than 7 000 Hipparcos double and multiple stars with angularseparations 0.1 to 2.5 arcsec. We publish 9473 components of 5173systems with separations above 0.3 arcsec. The majority of them did nothave Tycho photometry in the Hipparcos catalogue. The magnitudes arederived in the Tycho B_T and V_T passbands, similar to the Johnsonpassbands. Photometrically resolved components of the binaries withstatistically significant trigonometric parallaxes can be put on an HRdiagram, the majority of them for the first time. Based on observationsmade with the ESA Hipparcos satellite.
| Three colour observations of southern red variable giant stars
UBV observations have been made of southern red variables of varioustypes over a period of two years. Accurate light curves of about 35variables have been obtained; in many cases the observations coveredmore than one cycle. It appears that the M-type SRb and Lb variablesdefine a curved strip in the (B-V)-(U-B) plane. The mean (U-B) of thevariable stars is about 0.5 mag bluer than the (U-B) of the nonvariableK-type giants. The red variables may be divided into different groups:the carbon stars and the M-type variables, of which the M-type stars areagain to be divided into three groups on the basis of their colorvariations and consequently their loops in the two-color plane.
