An Overview of the Rotational Behavior of Metal-poor Stars
This paper describes the behavior of the rotational velocity inmetal-poor stars ([Fe/H] <= -0.5 dex) in different evolutionarystages, based on vsin i values from the literature. Our sample iscomprised of stars in the field and some Galactic globular clusters,including stars on the main sequence, the red giant branch (RGB), andthe horizontal branch (HB). The metal-poor stars are, mainly, slowrotators, and their vsin i distribution along the HR diagram is quitehomogeneous. Nevertheless, a few moderate to high values of vsin i arefound in stars located on the main sequence and the HB. We show that theoverall distribution of vsin i values is basically independent ofmetallicity for the stars in our sample. In particular, thefast-rotating main sequence stars in our sample present rotation ratessimilar to their metal-rich counterparts, suggesting that some of themmay actually be fairly young, in spite of their low metallicity, or elsethat at least some of them would be better classified as blue stragglerstars. We do not find significant evidence of evolution in vsin i valuesas a function of position on the RGB; in particular, we do not confirmprevious suggestions that stars close to the RGB tip rotate faster thantheir less-evolved counterparts. While the presence of fast rotatorsamong moderately cool blue HB stars has been suggested to be due toangular momentum transport from a stellar core that has retainedsignificant angular momentum during its prior evolution, we find thatany such transport mechanisms most likely operate very fast as the stararrives on the zero-age HB (ZAHB), since we do not find a link betweenevolution off the ZAHB and vsin i values. We present an extensivetabulation of all quantities discussed in this paper, including rotationvelocities, temperatures, gravities, and metallicities [Fe/H], as wellas broadband magnitudes and colors.

The Origins and Evolutionary Status of B Stars Found Far from the Galactic Plane. II. Kinematics and Full Sample Analysis
This paper continues the analysis of faint high-latitude B stars fromMartin. Here we analyze the kinematics of the stars and combine themwith the abundance information from the first paper to classify eachone. The sample contains 31 Population I runaways, 15 old evolved stars(including 5 blue horizontal-branch [BHB] stars, 3 post-HB stars, 1pulsating helium dwarf, and 6 stars of ambiguous classification), 1 Fdwarf, and 2 stars that do not easily fit in one of the othercategories. No star in the sample unambiguously shows thecharacteristics of a young massive star formed in situ in the halo. Thetwo unclassified stars are probably extreme Population I runaways. Thelow binary frequency and rotational velocity distribution of thePopulation I runaways imply that most were ejected from dense starclusters by the dynamic ejection scenario. However, we remain puzzled bythe lack of runaway Be stars. We also confirm that PB 166 and HIP 41979are both nearby solar-metallicity BHB stars.Based on observations made at the 2.1 m Otto Struve Telescope ofMcDonald Observatory, operated by the University of Texas at Austin.

The Origins and Evolutionary Status of B Stars Found Far from the Galactic Plane. I. Composition and Spectral Features
The existence of faint blue stars far above the Galactic plane that havespectra that are similar to nearby Population I B stars presents severalinteresting questions. Among them are the following: Can a Population IB star travel from the disk to a position many kiloparsecs above theplane in a relatively short main-sequence lifetime? Is it possible thatsingle massive star formation is occurring far from the Galactic plane?Are these objects something else masquerading as main-sequence B stars?This paper (the first of two) analyzes the abundances of a sample ofthese stars and reveals several that are chemically similar to nearbyPopulation I B stars, whereas others clearly have abundance patternsmore like those expected in blue horizontal-branch (BHB) orpost-asymptotic giant branch stars. Several of those with old evolvedstar abundances also have interesting features of note in their spectra.We also consider why this sample does not have any classical Be starsand identify at least two nearby solar-metallicity BHB stars.Based on observations made at the 2.1 m Otto Struve Telescope ofMcDonald Observatory operated by the University of Texas at Austin.

Faint Blue Objects at High Galactic Latitude. VIII. Performance Characteristics of the US Survey
The US survey has cataloged 3987 objects in seven high Galactic latitudefields according to their optical colors, magnitudes, and morphologiesusing photographic techniques. This paper analyzes the effectiveness ofthe survey at producing finding lists for complete samples of hot starsand quasars that exhibit blue and/or ultraviolet excess (B-UVX) relativeto the colors of halo F and G subdwarf stars. A table of 599spectroscopic identifications summarizes the spectroscopic coverage ofthe US objects that has been accomplished to date. In addition, some ofthe survey plates have been reexamined for objects missed during theoriginal selection, and the literature has been searched for all otherspectroscopically identified blue stars and quasars with z<2.2 thathave been selected by other surveys within the US survey areas. Theseresults are used to estimate empirically both the accuracy of the USsurvey selection boundaries (in color, morphology, and brightness) andthe completeness of the resulting samples of B-UVX US objects withinthose boundaries. In particular, it is shown that the reliability of theUS color classifications is high and that the previously derived USmorphological boundary for the complete selection of unresolved quasarsis accurate. The contribution of color and morphological classificationerrors to B-UVX sample incompleteness is therefore correspondinglysmall. The empirical tests indicate high levels of completeness(95+1-2%) for the samples of US quasars and hotstars isolated within the stated survey selection limits. Errata andimprovements to some of the published catalog data are presented inAppendices.

Rotation Velocities of Red and Blue Field Horizontal-Branch Stars
We present measurements of the projected stellar rotation velocities(vsini) of a sample of 45 candidate field horizontal-branch (HB) starsspanning a wide range of effective temperatures, from red HB stars withTeff~=5000K to blue HB stars with Teff of 17,000K.Among the cooler blue HB stars (Teff=7500-11500 K), weconfirm prior studies showing that, although a majority of stars rotateat vsini<15kms-1, there exists a subset of ``fastrotators'' with vsini as high as 30-35 km s-1. All but one ofthe red HB stars in our sample have vsini<10kms-1, and noanalogous rotation bimodality is evident. We also identify anarrow-lined hot star (Teff~=16,000K) with enhancedphotospheric metal abundances and helium depletion, similar to theabundance patterns found among hot BHB stars in globular clusters, andfour other stars that may also belong in this category. We discussdetails of the spectral line fitting procedure that we use to deducevsini and explore how measurements of field HB star rotation may shedlight on the issue of HB star rotation in globular clusters.

FAUST observations of ultraviolet sources in the direction of Coma
We analyse an ultraviolet observation toward the Coma cluster by meansof the FAUST shuttle-borne telescope. We detect 56 candidate sources toa signal-to-noise ratio of 6.5. Most sources have optical counterpartsin existing catalogues and are stars. 10 sources with no listedcounterparts were observed at the Wise Observatory. We presentidentifications based on low-resolution spectrophotometry, and discussthe foreground stars and the galaxies, all in the foreground of the Comacluster. The FAUST image yields a higher fraction of hot evolved starsthan either of the North Galactic Pole or the Virgo regions, analysedpreviously. We identify these tentatively as cooling white dwarfs in theComa Berenices (Mel111) open cluster.

A new, complete sample of faint B stars in the Galactic halo
A new sample of 31 faint B and A0 stars is reported, 30 of whichcomprise a complete sample within the limits (U-V) less than 0 and Bbetween 10.0 and 18.0. The sample is based on low- andintermediate-resolution spectrophotometry of color-excess objectsselected in the U.S. survey. Atmospheric parameters for the stars arederived through the use of synthetic colors, Balmer-line strengths, andmodel-atmosphere fitting. The atmospheric parameters and preliminarymetallicity estimates indicate that most of the stars are distributedalong the blue horizontal branch, with low metallicities (Fe/H = 1.0)and with both the first and second Newell gaps present. However, nine ofthe B/A0 stars can be identified as candidate mainsequence stars, basedon evidence of high metallicities (Fe/H = 0) and/or derived effectivetemperatures and surface gravities which place them close to themain-sequence relation. The completeness characteristics of the sampleare discussed, and its surface density is compared to that of otherrecently isolated B-star samples. The sample exhibits a shallow integralnumber-count slope. This new sample will help provide increasedstatistical coverage of the B-star population in the Galactic halothrough its relatively faint magnitude-completeness limits and itsrelatively red color-completeness limit.

A Large-Scale Spectroscopic Survey of Early-Type Stars at High Galactic Latitudes
We present new model atmosphere analyses of optical spectroscopy of alarge sample of B-type stellar candidates. Of a total of 298 objects,the largest sample of its kind to date, 205 were drawn from the PalomarGreen Survey of high Galactic latitude ultraviolet-excess stellarobjects and comprise a complete magnitude-limited sample. Effectivetemperatures, surface gravities, and helium abundances for the hotsubdwarf (high-gravity) component of the sample are derived from adetailed line profile analysis of the hydrogen and helium absorptionlines in intermediate-resolution (3-5 A FWHM) optical spectra. Aseparate analysis of the lower gravity component is made using a newlycalculated grid of synthetic spectra. Additional estimates of theeffective temperatures are made from wide- and intermediate-bandphotometry taken from the literature. We are currently undertaking twofollow-up programs. (1) Detailed abundance analyses of high-resolutionechelle spectra of the lower gravity component of the survey usingmodern model atmosphere and synthetic spectrum techniques willdifferentiate between massive Population I main-sequence B stars andlow-mass, lower luminosity Population II blue horizontal branch starsand post-asymptotic giant branch stars. (2) The derived atmosphericparameters for the higher gravity component, the field extendedhorizontal branch stars, will be combined with radial velocitymeasurements to determine their spatial and kinematic distributions,which will distinguish between competing evolutionary scenarios for thishot, evolved stellar population.

Systematic search for UV-excess quasar candidates in 40 square degrees at the North Galactic Pole.
We have developed a procedure (so called PAPA) for measurement ofmagnitudes (about 0.1mag accurate) and positions (with accuracy betterthan 0.5arcsec) of all the objects present on photographic platesdigitised with the MAMA machine. This homogeneous procedure was appliedto four Schmidt plates - in U, B and twice V - covering thePalomar-Sky-Survey field PS +30deg 13h00m, a 40-square-degree zone atthe North Galactic Pole. A general-interest exhaustive tricolourcatalogue of 19542 star-like objects down to V=20.0 has been producedand we selected 1681 quasar candidates on the basis of ultravioletexcess and, when possible, absence of any measurable proper motion. Theastrometric and photometric catalogue of the candidates is given inelectronic form. A first multi-object spectroscopy of a few candidatesconfirms validity of the selection.

A catalog of far-ultraviolet point sources detected with the fast FAUST Telescope on ATLAS-1
We list the photometric measurements of point sources made by the FarUltraviolet Space Telescope (FAUST) when it flew on the ATLAS-1 spaceshuttle mission. The list contains 4698 Galactic and extragalacticobjects detected in 22 wide-field images of the sky. At the locationssurveyed, this catalog reaches a limiting magnitude approximately afactor of 10 fainter than the previous UV all-sky survey, TDl. Thecatalog limit is approximately 1 x 10-14 ergs A sq cm/s,although it is not complete to this level. We list for each object theposition, FUV flux, the error in flux, and where possible anidentification from catalogs of nearby stars and galaxies. Thesecatalogs include the Michigan HD (MHD) and HD, SAO, the HIPPARCOS InputCatalog, the Position and Proper Motion Catalog, the TD1 Catalog, theMcCook and Sion Catalog of white dwarfs, and the RC3 Catalog ofGalaxies. We identify 2239 FAUST sources with objects in the stellarcatalogs and 172 with galaxies in the RC3 catalog. We estimate thenumber of sources with incorrect identifications to be less than 2%.

The structure of the galactic halo outside the solar circle as traced by the blue horizontal branch stars
A complete sample of blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars in the magnituderange 13.0 less than or equal to V less than or equal to 16.5 isisolated in two Galactic fields that have previously been searched forRR Lyrae variables: SA 57 in the Northern Polar Cap and the LickAstrograph field RR 7 in the Anticenter (l = 183 deg, b = +37 deg).These BHB stars are a subset of the AF stars found in the CaseLow-Dispersion Northern Survey; lists of these AF stars were madeavailable by the late Nick Sanduleak. In the color range 0.00 less thanor equal to (B - V)0 less than or equal to +0.20, we candistinguish the BHB stars among these AF stars by comparing them bothwith well known local field horizontal branch (FHB) stars and also theBHB members of the halo globular clusters M3 and M92. The criteria forthis comparison include (1) a (u - B)K color index (derivedfrom photoelectric observations using the Stroemgren u filter and theJohnson B and V filters) that measures the size of the Balmer jump, (2)a spectrophotometric index lambda that measures the steepness of theBalmer jump, and (3) a parameter D0.2 that is the mean widthof the H-delta and H-gamma Balmer lines measured at 20 percent of thecontinuum level. These criteria give consistent results in separatingBHB stars from higher gravity main sequence AF stars in the color range0.00 less than or equal to (B - V)0 less than or equal to+0.20. All three photometric and spectrophotometric criteria weremeasured for 35 stars in the SA 57 field and 37 stars in the RR 7 fieldthat are in the color range (B - V)0 less than or equal to+0.23 and in the magnitude range 13.0 less than or equal to V less thanor equal to 16.5. For a small number of additional stars only (u -B)K was obtained. Among the AF stars that are fainter than B= 13 and bluer than (B - V)0 = +0.23, about half of those inthe SA 57 field and about one third of those in the lower latitude RR 7field are BHB stars. Isoabundance contours were located empirically inplots of the pseudoequivalent width versus (B - V)0 for thelines of Mg II lambda-4481 A, Ca II lambda-3933 A, and Fe I lambda-4272A. Solar abundances were defined by the data from main sequence stars inthe Pleiades and Coma open clusters. Data from the BHB stars in M3 andM92 defined the (Fe/H) = -1.5 and -2.2 isoabundance contours,respectively. Metallicities of all stars were estimated by interpolatingthe measured pseudoequivalent widths in these diagrams at the observed(B - V)0. The distribution of (Fe/H) found for the BHB starsin this way is very similar to that which we found for the RR Lyraestars in the same fields using the Preston Delta-S method. The spacedensities of these BHB stars were analyzed both separately and togetherwith earlier observations of field BHB stars. This analysis supports atwo-component model for the halo of our Galaxy that is similar in manyrespects to that proposed by Hartwick although our discussion refersonly to the region outside the solar circle.

A search for wide binaries at the north galactic pole using precise radial velocities
Precise radial velocities are presented from a survey of 247 starscentered on Selected Area 57 at the North Galactic Pole, complete forlate-type stars with V magnitude brighter than 12.0. The radialvelocities have a typical precision of 0.2-0.3 km/s. New spectral typesand distances estimates are presented for 120 of the stars in thesample. All pairs of stars with angular separations between 1 and 600arcsec have been considered, and 11 candidate pairs found with velocitydifferences less than 1.5 km/s. It is estimated that 4 or 5 of the 11candidate pairs are actually bound binaries, but none with separationslarger than 0.1 pc. The constraints imposed by these results on theactual distribution of wide binaries in the Galaxy should now bereanalyzed. The unusual precision of the velocities led to the discoveryof a new cluster associated with the multiple system ADS 8811 ABC.

The method and results of a MAMA photometric and astrometric reductionof 1221 known faint UV-excess objects lying in the wholePalomar-Sky-Survey field PS + 30 deg 13h 00m are presented. This fieldis located at the North Galactic Pole (NGP) and covers a 40 squaredegrees zone, almost centered on SA 57. The data are summarized in acatalog with an astrometric absolute accuracy better than 1 arsec and aphotometric one of 0.1 mag on a dynamical range of 10 mag in U, B and V.
