Preparing the COROT Space Mission: New Variable Stars in the Galactic Anticenter Direction
The activities related to the preparation of the asteroseismic,photometric space mission COROT are described. Photoelectricobservations, wide-field CCD photometry, uvbyβ calibrations, andfurther time series have been obtained at different observatories andtelescopes. They have been planned to complete the COROT program in thedirection of the Galactic anticenter. In addition to suitableasteroseismic targets covering the different evolutionary stages betweenzero-age main sequence and terminal-age main sequence, we discoveredseveral other variable stars, both pulsating and geometric. We comparedresults on the incidence of variability in the Galactic center andanticenter directions. Physical parameters have been obtained, andevolutionary tracks fitting them have been calculated. The peculiaritiesof some individual stars are pointed out.Based on observations collected at the San Pedro Martír, SierraNevada, Teide, La Silla, Haute-Provence, and Roque de Los Muchachos(Telescopio Nazionale Galileo and Mercator telescopes) observatories.
| The Henry Draper Extension Charts: A catalogue of accurate positions, proper motions, magnitudes and spectral types of 86933 stars
The Henry Draper Extension Charts (HDEC), published in the form offinding charts, provide spectral classification for some 87000 starsmostly between 10th and 11th magnitude. This data, being highlyvaluable, as yet was practically unusable for modern computer-basedastronomy. An earlier pilot project (Roeser et al. 1991) demonstrated apossibility to convert this into a star catalogue, using measurements ofcartesian coordinates of stars on the charts and positions of theAstrographic Catalogue (AC) for subsequent identification. We presenthere a final HDEC catalogue comprising accurate positions, propermotions, magnitudes and spectral classes for 86933 stars of the HenryDraper Extension Charts.
