Fitting sinusoids to observations of rotating spotted stars
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
It is assumed that K blocks (e.g. seasons) of observations are available, and the parameters
characterizing a fixed-frequency sinusoidal variability (mean light level, amplitude, phase)
are constant within each of the ...
Improved SAAO–2MASS photometry transformations
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
Near-infrared photometry of 599 stars is used to calculate transformations from the South
African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) JHK system to the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey
(2MASS) JHKS system. Both several-term formal ...
HE0230–4323: an unusual pulsating hot subdwarf star
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
HE 0230−4323 is a known binary, consisting of a subdwarf star and a companion which is not
observable in the optical. Photometric measurements reported in this paper have shown it to be
both a reflection-effect and a ...
Multivariate comparisons of the period–light-curve shape distributions of Cepheids in five galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
A number of published tests suitable for the comparison of multivariate distributions are
described. The results of a small power study, based on realistic Cepheid log period – Fourier
coefficient data, are presented. ...
KPD 0629–0016, a slowly pulsating hot subdwarf star
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
The results of nine CCD photometric observing runs on KPD 0629–0016 are presented. During
six of the runs measurements were obtained alternately through B and V filters. Four periodicities,
for which there is good agreement ...
What can be deduced from open cluster metallicity measurements?
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
The dependence of [Fe/H] on galactocentric distance, distance from the galactic mid-plane
and age is studied. Both ordinary least-squares and non-parametric regression in the form of a
‘generalized additive model’ are ...
Further observations of Hipparcos red stars and standards for UBV(RI)C photometry
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
We present homogeneous and standardized UBV(RI)C JHK photometry for over 100 M stars
selected from an earlier paper on the basis of apparent photometric constancy. L photometry
has been obtained for stars brighter than ...
The detailed forms of the LMC Cepheid PL and PLC relations
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
Possible deviations from linearity of the Large Magellanic Cloud Cepheid period–luminosity
(PL) and period–luminosity–colour (PLC) relations are investigated. Two data sets are studied,
respectively from the Optical ...
