Spitzer 24 μm Survey of Debris Disks in the Pleiades We performed a 24 μm 2deg×1deg survey ofthe Pleiades cluster, using the MIPS instrument on Spitzer. Fifty-fourmembers ranging in spectral type from B8 to K6 show 24 μm fluxesconsistent with bare photospheres. All Be stars show excesses attributedto free-free emission in their gaseous envelopes. Five early-type starsand four solar-type stars show excesses indicative of debris disks. Wefind a debris disk fraction of 25% for B-A members and 10% for F-K3ones. These fractions appear intermediate between those for youngerclusters and for the older field stars. They indicate a decay with ageof the frequency of the dust production events inside the planetaryzone, with similar timescales for solar-mass stars as have been foundpreviously for A stars.
| Spitzer Space Telescope Observations of G Dwarfs in the Pleiades: Circumstellar Debris Disks at 100 Myr Age Fluxes and upper limits in the wavelength range from 3.6 to 70 μmfrom the Spitzer Space Telescope are provided for 20 solar-mass Pleiadesmembers. One of these stars shows a probable mid-IR excess, and twoothers have possible excesses, presumably due to circumstellar debrisdisks. For the star with the largest, most secure excess flux at MIPS(Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer) wavelengths, HII 1101, wederive log(Ldust/L*)~-3.8 and an estimated debrisdisk mass of 4.2×10-5 M♁ for anassumed uniform dust grain size of 10 μm. If the stars with detectedexcesses are interpreted as stars with relatively recent, largecollisional events producing a transient excess of small dust particles,the frequency of such disk transients is ~10% for our ~100 Myr, PleiadesG dwarf sample. For the stars without detected 24-70 μm excesses, theupper limits to their fluxes correspond to approximate 3 σ upperlimits to their disk masses of 6×10-6M♁ using the MIPS 24 μm upper limit or2×10-4 M♁ using the MIPS 70 μmlimit. These upper limit disk masses (for ``warm'' and ``cold'' dust,respectively) are roughly consistent with, but somewhat lower than,predictions of a heuristic model for the evolution of an ``average''solar-mass star's debris disk based on extrapolation backward in timefrom current properties of the Sun's Kuiper Belt.This work is based (in part) on observations made with the Spitzer SpaceTelescope, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,California Institute of Technology, under NASA contract 1407.This publication makes use of data products from the Two Micron All SkySurvey, which is a joint project of the University of Massachusetts andthe Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute ofTechnology, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administrationand the National Science Foundation.
| Age Dependence of the Vega Phenomenon: Observations We study the time dependency of Vega-like excesses using infraredstudies obtained with the imaging photopolarimeter ISOPHOT on board theInfrared Space Observatory. We review the different studies published onthis issue and critically check and revise ages and fractionalluminosities in the different samples. The conclusions of our studydiffer significantly from those obtained by other authors (e.g., Hollandand coworkers; Spangler and coworkers), who suggested that there is aglobal power law governing the amount of dust seen in debris disks as afunction of time. Our investigations lead us to conclude that (1) forstars at most ages, a large spread in fractional luminosity occurs, but(2) there are few very young stars with intermediate or small excesses;(3) the maximum excess seen in stars of a given age is aboutfd~10-3, independent of time; and (4) Vega-likeexcess is more common in young stars than in old stars.
| Observations of Star-Forming Regions with the Midcourse Space Experiment We have imaged seven nearby star-forming regions, the Rosette Nebula,the Orion Nebula, W3, the Pleiades, G300.2-16.8, S263, and G159.6-18.5,with the Spatial Infrared Imaging Telescope on the Midcourse SpaceExperiment (MSX) satellite at 18" resolution at 8.3, 12.1, 14.7, and21.3 μm. The large angular scale of the regions imaged (~7.2-50deg2) makes these data unique in terms of the combination ofsize and resolution. In addition to the star-forming regions, twocirrus-free fields (MSXBG 160 and MSXBG 161) and a field near the southGalactic pole (MSXBG 239) were also imaged. Point sources have beenextracted from each region, resulting in the identification over 500 newsources (i.e., no identified counterparts at other wavelengths), as wellas over 1300 with prior identifications. The extended emission from thestar-forming regions is described, and prominent structures areidentified, particularly in W3 and Orion. The Rosette Nebula isdiscussed in detail. The bulk of the mid-infrared emission is consistentwith that of photon-dominated regions, including the elephant trunkcomplex. The central clump, however, and a line of site toward thenorthern edge of the cavity show significantly redder colors than therest of the Rosette complex.
| Dusty Debris around Solar-Type Stars: Temporal Disk Evolution Using ISO-ISOPHOT, we carried out a survey of almost 150 stars to searchfor evidence of emission from dust orbiting young main-sequence stars,both in clusters and isolated systems. Over half of the detections arenew examples of dusty stellar systems and demonstrate that such dust canbe detected around numerous stars older than a few times 106yr. Fluxes at 60 and either 90 or 100 μm for the new excess sourcestogether with improved fluxes for a number of IRAS-identified sourcesare presented. Analysis of the excess luminosity relative to the stellarphotosphere shows a systematic decline of this excess with stellar ageconsistent with a power-law index of -2.
| The Physical Basis of Luminosity Classification in the Late A-, F-, and Early G-Type Stars. II. Basic Parameters of Program Stars and the Role of Microturbulence Paper I of this series presented precise MK spectral types for 372 lateA-, F-, and early G-type stars with the aim of understanding the natureof luminosity classification on the MK spectral classification systemfor this range of spectral types. In this paper, a multidimensionaldownhill simplex technique is introduced to determine the basicparameters of the program stars from fits of synthetic spectra andfluxes with observed spectra and fluxes from Strömgren uvbyphotometry. This exercise yields useful calibrations of the MK spectralclassification system but, most importantly, gives insight into thephysical nature of luminosity classification on the MK spectralclassification system. In particular, we find that in this range ofspectral types, microturbulence appears to be at least as important asgravity in determining the MK luminosity type.
| The Physical Basis of Luminosity Classification in the Late A-, F-, and Early G-Type Stars. I. Precise Spectral Types for 372 Stars This is the first in a series of two papers that address the problem ofthe physical nature of luminosity classification in the late A-, F-, andearly G-type stars. In this paper, we present precise spectralclassifications of 372 stars on the MK system. For those stars in theset with Strömgren uvbyβ photometry, we derive reddenings andpresent a calibration of MK temperature types in terms of the intrinsicStrömgren (b-y)0 index. We also examine the relationshipbetween the luminosity class and the Strömgren c1 index,which measures the Balmer jump. The second paper will address thederivation of the physical parameters of these stars, and therelationships between these physical parameters and the luminosityclass. Stars classified in this paper include one new λ Bootisstar and 10 of the F- and G-type dwarfs with recently discoveredplanets.

| The Lithium-Rotation Correlation in the Pleiades Revisited The dispersion in lithium abundance at fixed effective temperature inyoung cool stars like the Pleiades has proved a difficult challenge forstellar evolution theory. We propose that Li abundances relative to amean temperature trend, rather than the absolute abundances, should beused to analyze the spread in abundance. We present evidence that thedispersion in Li equivalent widths at fixed color in cool singlePleiades stars is at least partially caused by stellar atmosphereeffects (most likely departures from ionization predictions of modelphotospheres) rather than being completely explained by genuineabundance differences. We find that effective temperature estimates fromdifferent colors yield systematically different values for active stars.There is also a strong correlation between stellar activity and Liexcess, but not a one-to-one mapping between unprojected stellarrotation (from photometric periods) and Li excess. Thus, it is unlikelythat rotation is the main cause for the dispersion in the Li abundances.Finally, there is a significant correlation between detrended Li excessand potassium excess but not calcium-perhaps supporting incompleteradiative transfer calculations (and overionization effects inparticular) as an important source of the Li scatter. Other mechanisms,such as very small metallicity variations and magnetic fields, whichinfluence pre-main-sequence Li burning may also play a role. Finally, wefind no statistical evidence for a decrease in dispersion in the coolestPleiades stars, contrary to some previous work.
| Statistics of binaries in the Pleiades cluster We present a statistical analysis of binaries in galactic clusters,based on photometric properties. Synthetic clusters are used to solvethe deconvolution problem. If the colour-magnitude relation for singlestars is given and if triple stars are treated as binaries, thedistribution of systems in a colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) can be usedto determine cluster properties. They include the maximum number ofsingle stars N1max which is compatible with the distributionof systems, a standard deviation sigma (describing the scatter of starson the main sequence), a critical mass ratio q_c, and the mass ratiodistribution in the case of N_1=N1max. In the general case(N_1<= N1max) the mass ratio distribution can bedetermined for q>q_c, and in favourable cases (if N_1 is sufficientlylarge) for all mass ratios. A first application concerns thePleiades cluster in the colour range 0.2<= B-V<0.98. The concentration of systems near the main sequence in the CMDis used to derive an approximation for the colour-magnitude relation. Asmall positive number c is involved as a parameter. The mass ratiodistribution depends sensitively on c and increases towards small massratios, at least up to q =~ 0.5 and probably up to q =~ 0.3. Thedistribution is bimodal, with a peak at q=1. Photometric arguments showthat c<~ 0.02. A binary frequency of 60-70% as expected from clustersimulations (Kroupa \cite{krou}) requires c<~ 0.03. An adjustment oftwo parameters (c=0.02 and a 70% binary frequency) is sufficient toreproduce the mass ratio distribution for binaries in the galacticfield. This suggests that the mass ratio distribution in the Pleiades issimilar to the distribution in the field, in accordance with aconjecture of Bouvier et al. (\cite{brn}, BRN).
| The Pleiades and alpha Persei Clusters The upper-main-sequence members of the Pleiades and alpha Perseiclusters, considered as members of the Local Association, yield meanparallaxes that are only 4% larger than the mean values from Hipparcosobservations. The (log T_eff, M_V) diagram reveals that in thetemperature range from 6000 to 8000 K, the Hyades and alpha Perseimain-sequence members are nearly identical and several tenths of amagnitude brighter than similar stars on the Pleiades main sequence. Thedeparture of the Pleiades main sequence cannot be traced to either ageor heavy-element abundance differences in the range thought to apply tothese clusters. A 50% increase in the helium abundance of Pleiades overHyades stars could account for the luminosity difference. Alternativeexplanations are that the Pleiades cluster is rejected from superclustermembership and/or that the Hipparcos parallax results for the Pleiadesare in error by some 10%.
| The rotational velocity of low-mass stars in the Pleiades cluster We present new {vsin i} measurements for 235 low-mass stars in thePleiades. The differential rotational broadening has been resolved forall the stars in our sample. These results, combined with previouslypublished measurements, provide a complete and unbiased rotation dataset for stars in the mass range from 0.6 to 1.2{Msun}.Applying a numerical inversion technique on the {vsin i} distributions,we derive the distributions of equatorial velocities for low-massPleiades members. We find that half of the Pleiades dwarfs with a massbetween 0.6 to 1 {Msun} have rotation rates lower than 10{ kms(-1) }. Comparison of the rotational distributions of low-mass membersbetween IC 2602/2391 (~ 35 Myr) and the Pleiades (~ 100 Myr) suggeststhat G dwarfs behave like solid-bodies and follow Skumanich's law duringthis time span. However, comparison between Pleiades and older clusters-M34 (~ 200 Myr) and Hyades (~ 600 Myr)- indicates that the braking ofslow rotators on the early main sequence is weaker than predicted by anasymptotical Skumanich's law. This strongly supports the view thatangular momentum tapped in the radiative core of slow rotators on thezero age main sequence (ZAMS) resurfaces into the convective envelopebetween Pleiades and Hyades age. For the G-dwarfs, we derive acharacteristic coupling time scale between the core and the envelope ofabout 100-200 Myr, which accounts for the observed evolution of surfacerotation from the ZAMS to the Hyades. The relationship between rotationand coronal activity in the Pleiades is in agreement with previousobservations in other clusters and field stars. We show that the Rossbydiagram provides an excellent description of the X-ray activity for allstars in the mass domain studied. The Pleiades data for slow andmoderate rotators fills the gap between the X-ray-rotation correlationfound for slow rotators and the X-ray ``saturation plateau'' observedfor young fast rotators. The transition between increasing X-ray fluxwith rotation and X-ray saturation is observed at log (P/tau)=0.8+/-0.1. These results strengthen the hypothesis that the``saturation'' of the angular momentum loss process depends on thestellar mass. Based on observations collected at the Observatoire deHaute-Provence with ELODIE at the 193cm telescope and with CORAVEL atthe 1m-swiss telescope
| Investigation of the Pleiades cluster. IV. The radial structure On the basis of the best available member list and duplicityinformation, we have studied the radial distribution of 270 stars andmultiple systems earlier than K0 in the Pleiades. Five new long periodspectroscopic binaries have been identified from the CORAVELobservations. We have found a clear mass segregation between binariesand single stars, which is explained by the greater average mass of themultiple systems. The mass function of the single stars and primariesappears to be significantly different. While the central part of thecluster is spherical, the outer part is clearly elliptical, with anellipticity of 0.17. The various parameters describing the Pleiades are(for a distance of 125 pc): core radius rc = 0fdg6 (1.4 pc),tidal radius rt = 7fdg4 (16 pc), half mass radius r_{m/2} =0fdg88 (1.9 pc), harmonic radius /line{r} = 1fdg82 (4 pc). Low-massstars (later than K0) probably extend further out and new proper motionand radial velocity surveys over a larger area and to fainter magnitudeswould be very important to improve the description of the clusterstructure and complete mass function. Based on observations collected atthe Haute-Provence Observatory (France).

We give a common version of the two catalogues of Mean Radial Velocitiesby Wilson (1963) and Evans (1978) to which we have added the catalogueof spectroscopic binary systems (Batten et al. 1989). For each star,when possible, we give: 1) an acronym to enter SIMBAD (Set ofIdentifications Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data) ofthe CDS (Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg). 2) the numberHIC of the HIPPARCOS catalogue (Turon 1992). 3) the CCDM number(Catalogue des Composantes des etoiles Doubles et Multiples) byDommanget & Nys (1994). For the cluster stars, a precise study hasbeen done, on the identificator numbers. Numerous remarks point out theproblems we have had to deal with.
| The evolution of the lithium abundances of solar-type stars. III - The Pleiades New measurements of lithium in more than 100 Pleiades F, G, and K dwarfsare reported. Abundances are determined from spectrum synthesis fits tothe data as well as from use of new covers of growth from the Li 6708-Afeature. It is argued that most Late-F and early-G dwarfs in thePleiades are consistent with the tight N(Li) vs mass relation seen inthe Hyades in the same mass range. Most Li-rich stars have abundances ator near the primordial level for Population I, and none exceed thatlevel by a significant amount. At any given color the stars that rotatefast have the most Li and have the strongest chromospheric activity.Ways in which an apparent spread in N(Li) could arise from anintrinsically tight n(Li)-mass relation are considered, and it isconcluded that the spread is probably real and is not an artifact ofline formation conditions or inhomogeneous atmospheres on the stars.
| Rotation and chromospheric emission among F, G, and K dwarfs of the Pleiades High-resolution echelle spectra of more than 100 F, G, and K dwarfs inthe Pleiades are reported. Chromospheric activity in these stars ismeasured via comparisons of the profiles of H-alpha and the Ca II IRtriplet to chromospherically inactive field stars. Consistent dereddenedcolors are determined from the available photometry and temperatures arederived. Most G and K dwarfs in the Pleiades rotate slowly, but about 20percent of the stars are ultrafast rotators (UFRs). That fraction ofUFRs is independent of color, and the highest rotation rates are foundamong the K dwarfs. The Pleiades exhibit a broad range in the strengthof chromospheric emission at any one color. Most G and K dwarfs in thePleiades show H-alpha and the IR triple in absorption, with filling inof the line cores.
| A catalogue of Fe/H determinations - 1991 edition A revised version of the catalog of Fe/H determinations published by G.Cayrel et al. (1985) is presented. The catalog contains 3252 Fe/Hdeterminations for 1676 stars. The literature is complete up to December1990. The catalog includes only Fe/H determinations obtained from highresolution spectroscopic observations based on detailed spectroscopicanalyses, most of them carried out with model atmospheres. The catalogcontains a good number of Fe/H determinations for stars from open andglobular clusters and for some supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds.
| Radial velocity measurements in the Pleiades High-resolution radial velocities for 71 stars of both early and latespectral types in the Pleiades cluster have been obtained in order toinvestigate the possibility of establishing an early-type star velocitysystem by bootstrapping late-type velocity standards to early-type onesin young clusters. It is shown that in the absence of early-typevelocity standards the velocity scale of the early-type spectra in thecluster can be tied into the IAU velocity system by examining thevelocity distributions of both the early-type and the late-type stars,since the internal velocity dispersion in an open cluster is less thanabout 1 km/s. It is found that the cluster velocity of the Pleiades is6.0 km/s, with an observed velocity dispersion of 1 km/s. Based on thesevelocity results, a list of potentially constant velocity B and A starsis proposed for further studies to confirm the constancy of theirvelocities.
| Lithium, age, and metallicity in open clusters It is shown that a strong relationship exists between Li abundance andage for stars in the temperature region 5950-6350 K. The relation isderived from mean Li abundances in eight open clusters ranging in agefrom 5 x 10 to the 7th to 8 x 10 to the 9th yr. The Li declinesexponentially with t exp(-0.3). It is suggested that, in thistemperature regime, simple microscopic diffusion is the cause of the Lidepletion. It is possible that there is a metallicity term in therelation, such that higher metallicity clusters with deeper convectionzones have less Li depletion, while lower metallicity cluster undergogreater depletion. This is consistent with expectations from diffusiontheory. Furthermore, the halo stars, with even lower metallicity andshallower convection zones, would have more diffusion and more Lidepletion; this is in agreement with recent theoretical work.
| Lithium in old open clusters - NGC 188 Echelle spectra which include the Li I line at 6707 A are reported forseven main-sequence stars and one subgiant in NGC 188. The Li I line isdetected in five of the six dwarfs which are highly probable clustermembers. The derived atmospheric Li/H ratios exceed the solar value byfactors ranging approximately from 10 to 40, although these apparentlyclosely solarlike stars are about twice as old as the sun. The variationof the lithium abundance with stellar mass along the main sequences ofthe Pleiades, the Hyades, NGC 752, and NGC 188 are compared. Theresulting evolutionary pattern indicates that the lithium fraction inthe Galactic gas has shown no appreciable change from Li/H of roughly 10to the -9th since the birth of NGC 188 about 10 Gyr ago, except that theabundance could have been higher by an uncertain but possiblyappreciable factor at the beginning of that epoch.
| Lithium in the Pleiades and Alpha Persei clusters Observations of the Li region in the 23 F dwarfs of the Pleiades andAlpha Per clusters were performed with a TI CCD at the coudespectrographof the 200-inch telescope with a spectral resolution of 0.2 A and 2sigma signal-to-noise ratios of 100-300. All 21 of the stars observed inthe temperature region of 6100-7300 K show strong Li I lines with valuesof log N(Li) near 3.0; the mean is 2.98 + or - 0.13. The data suggestthat the significant decrease in surface Li, possibly caused bydiffusion or differential rotation, occurs for cluster stars between theages of 5 x 10 to the 7th to 5 x 10 to the 8th yr.
| Interstellar extinction in the direction of the Merope dark cloud in Pleiades The dependence of interstellar extinction on distance in the directionof the dark cloud south of Merope is determined using photoelectricphotometry of 93 stars in the Vilnius photometric system. The cloudfront edge is detected at 120-130 pc from the sun, and the distance ofthe Pleiades cluster is found to be 127 pc. Mean extinction, A(V), inthe Merope cloud is of the order of 1.0 mag. There is no evidence ofextinction at distances exceeding the Merope cloud distance. Thevariable extinction method yields R = A(V)/E(B-V) = 3.6, while themaximum polarization wavelength method gives the value 3.4. SomePleiades stars are suspected to be unresolved binaries.
| The distance of the Pleiades cluster and the calibration of photometric luminosities for early-type stars An examination of the lower main-sequence (mode-A) stars in the Pleiadescluster suggests an Fe/H abundance ratio between 0.0 and 0.1 dex with aresulting modulus of 5.65 + or - 0.1 mag, and fundamental defects in thecalculation of Balona and Shobbrook (1984), with an adopted modulus of5.50 mag, are discussed. It is suggested that the ZAMS of Balona andShobbrook, and of Mermilliod (1981), are too bright due to theirassumption that the color-luminosity arrays of such clusters as thePleiades represent isochrones, leading to uncertainties in the ZAMS,particularly with respect to slope. Several recently publishedphotometric luminosity calibrations for early-type stars may beincorrect due to their failing to recognize the probable presence of atleast two evolutionary modes and the apparent absence of ZAMS stars nearthe sun.
| A VBLUW photometric survey of the Pleiades cluster Photometric data are presented for 390 known or suspected members of thePleiades cluster. The data were obtained in 1979 at ESO using theWalraven VBLUW photometer and the Dutch 91-cm telescope. A comparisonwas made with subsets obtained with the same telescope andinstrumentation at the former Leiden Southern Station at the SAAO annexduring 1976 and 1977, and with data obtained at ESO during 1980 and1981. The much improved performance of the telescope and the photometerat their new site is obvious from these comparisons. The stars measuredcomprise the selection of possible members by Hertzsprung (1947)brighter than m(pg) = 14.5 and a selection of possible members in theouter region of the cluster by Pels et al. (1975). Of the starsselected, 66 were found not to be members. A few of these are possiblyescaping members. The present data set provides a well determined mainsequence over the range K2V to B9V, as well as data on some of theprobably premain-sequence K2-to-K5 and postmain-sequence B8-to-B6 stars.Finding charts for the stars selected by Pels are presented in anappendix.

| Apparent radii and other parameters for 416 B5 V-F5 V stars of the catalogue of the Geneva Observatory Apparent radius, visual brightness, effective temperature and absoluteradius for 416 B5 v-F5 v stars of the catalogue of the GenevaObservatory (Rufener, 1976) have been determined. Twenty-eight stars,anomalous in log a" versus (m~)o diagrams, have been singled out. A goodcorrelation for seven stars, in common with the list of Hanbury Brown etal. (1974), has been found. Similar parameters determined for 279 B5v-F5 v stars of two preceding papers (Fracassini et al., 1973, 1975)have allowed us to determine the averaged diagrams , and versus (B -V)0 for 695 B5 v-F5 v stars. Moreover, in the present paper a goodcorrelation versus and carefulrelation = -7.40 + 3.31 for B5v-F5 V stars have been determined. Plain correlations between log R/R0and blanketing parameter m2 for some spectral types seem to point outthat there are real differences in the absolute radii of stars of thesame spectral type, in agreement with recent researches on the HRdiagram (Houck and Fesen, 1978). Systematic differences between double(spectroscopic and visual) and single stars are found. In particular,the averaged relation versus shows that A2v-F5 v double stars may have a higher metallicity index m2 and smallerabsolute radii than single stars. Finally, the diagram log v sin iversus log R/R0 confirms some properties of binary systems found byother researchers (Huang, 1966; Plavec, 1970; Levato, 1974; Kitamura andKondo, 1978)
