New nearby stars in the Liverpool - Edinburgh high proper motion survey selected by DENIS photometry ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a systematic search for new neighbourhood stars among the Liverpool-Edinburgh high proper motion survey which we cross-identified with the DENIS survey. Their high proper motions ensure that they are not giant stars. The distances are estimated using DENIS photometry and we found that 100 stars probably lie within 25 parsecs from the Sun. They are mostly M-dwarfs, and 10 are probably white dwarfs. This is the first distance estimate for 84 stars among them. 10 stars, L 170-14A, DENIS J0146291-533931, DENIS J0235219-240038, LP 942-107, DENIS J0320518-635148, LTT 1732, DENIS J0428054-620929, DENIS J2210200701005, DENIS J2230096-534445, and NLTT 166-3 are estimated to be closer than 15 parsecs. In addition, one star, DENIS J2343155-241047, could also lie within 15 pc if it belongs to the halo.

New nearby stars selected in a high proper motion survey by DENIS photometry
We present new nearby stars extracted from a proper motion catalogue and having a DENIS counterpart. Their distances and spectral type are estimated using the DENIS colours. 107 stars are within 50 pc. 31 stars among them have previously measured distances. In addition, 40 stars may enter within the 50 pc limit depending on which population they belong to. 6 stars among them have already measur...
متن کاملOGLE-II High Proper Motion Stars towards the Galactic centre
The photometry data base of the second phase of the OGLE microlensing experiment, OGLE-II, is a rich source of information about the kinematics and structure of the Galaxy. In this work we use the OGLE-II proper motion catalogue to identify candidate stars which have high proper motions. 521 stars with proper motion μ > 50 mas yr in the OGLE-II proper motion catalogue (Sumi et al. 2004) were cr...
متن کاملMeeting the Cool Neighbours, II: Photometry of southern NLTT stars
We present BVRI photometry of 180 bright, southern nearby-star candidates. The stars were selected from the New Luyten Two-Tenths proper motion catalogue based on optical/infrared colours, constructed by combining Luytens’s mr estimates with nearinfrared photometry from the 2-Micron All Sky Survey. Photometric parallaxes derived from (V-KS), (V-I) and (I-J) colours, combined with the limited av...
متن کاملSpectroscopic distances of nearby ultracool dwarfs
We present updated results of spectroscopic follow-up observations of a sample of 45 M dwarf candidates identified by Phan-Bao et al. (2003) based on the DENIS photometry and proper motion measurements. Forty one of these are nearby late-M dwarfs (d<30 pc) with spectral types ranging from M5.0 to M8.5 computed from the spectral indices. One contaminant is probably an F-G main sequence star redd...
متن کاملDiscovery of new nearby L and late - M dwarfs at low Galactic latitude
We report new nearby L and late-M dwarfs (dphot 6 30 pc) discovered by our search for nearby ultracool dwarfs (I − J > 3.0, later than M8.0) at low Galactic latitude (|b| < 15◦) over 4,800 square degrees in the DENIS database. We used lateM (>M8.0), L, and T dwarfs with accurate trigonometric parallaxes to calibrate the MJ versus I − J colour-luminosity relation. The resulting photometric dista...
