Abstract. Radial velocities obtained with the CORAVEL-type spectrometer are presented for 11 Bidelman's weak-lined stars, classified from moderate dispersion objective prism spectra. Standard errors of the measurements are smaller than 1 km/s. For five of these stars, measured in the Vilnius photometric system, only small metal deficiency is established. Kinematically, most of the stars belong to the thin disk and only two stars, HD 71185 and BD +75 AE 641, are consistent with membership of the thick disk population.
Abstract.The results of photometric classification of 848 true and suspected Population II stars, some of which were found to belong to Population I, are presented. The stars were classified using a new calibration described in Paper I (Bartkevicius & Lazauskaite 1996). We combine these results with our results from Paper I and discuss in greater detail the following groups of stars: UU Herculis-type stars and other high-galactic-latitude supergiants, field red horizontal-branch stars, metal-deficient visual binaries, metaldeficient subgiants, stars from the Catalogue of Metal-deficient F-M Stars Classified Photometrically (MDPH; Bartkevicius 1993) and stars from one of the HIPPARCOS programs (Bartkevicius 1994a). It is confirmed that high galactic latitude supergiants from the Bartaya (1979) catalog are giants or even dwarfs. Some stars, identified by Rose (1985) and Tautvaisiene (1996a) as field RHB stars, appear to be ordinary giants according to our classification. Some of the visual binaries studied can be considered as physical pairs. Quite a large fraction of stars from the MDPH catalog are found to have solar metallicity. A number of new possible UU Herculis-type stars, RHB stars and metal-deficient subgiants are identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
