Coordinates and 2MASS and OGLE identifications for all stars in Arp’s 1965 finding chart for Baade’s Window⋆
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aims. We seek to provide 2MASS and OGLE identifications and coordinates for all stars in the finding chart published by Arp (1965, ApJ, 141, 43). This chart covers the low extinction area around NGC 6522, also known as Baade’s window, at coordinates (l, b) = (1.02,−3.92). Methods. A cross correlation, using numerical techniques, was performed between a scan of the original finding chart from Arp and 2MASS and OGLE-II images and stellar coordinates. Results. We provide coordinates for all stars in Arp’s finding chart and 2MASS and OGLE identifications wherever possible. Two identifications in quadrant II do not appear in the original finding chart.

The Color–magnitude Diagram in Baade’s Window Revisited
We have reanalyzed the OGLE V and I photometry of ∼ 500, 000 stars in Baade’s Window, and we confirm the extinction map published by Stanek (1996). However, we find that the interpretation of the OGLE color–magnitude diagram for the disk stars proposed by Paczyński et al. (1994) was incorrect: the dominant disk population in Baade’s Window is old, and we find no evidence for a large hole in the...

We present the second part of the OGLE Catalog of Periodic Variable Stars in the Galactic bulge. 800 variable stars found in four Baade’s Window fields BW1, BW2, BW3 and BW4 are presented. Among them 71 are classified as pulsating, 465 as eclipsing and 264 as miscellaneous type. The Catalog and individual observations are available in digital form from the OGLE Internet archive.
متن کاملSTELLAR POPULATION SYNTHESIS Baade’s Window: OGLE vs DeNIS
Monte-Carlo simulations of optical and near-infrared colourmagnitude diagrams (CMDs) in Baade’s Window (l=1. ◦0, b=−3. ◦9) are compared with each other. The morphological structure of the red horizontal branch in those CMDs is likely due to a combination of extinction and age-metallicity of the stars from the bulge/bar. In contrast with the optical (V,I) passbands, the simulations indicate that...
متن کاملAGB variables in Baade’s windows
In this work, a sample of luminous M-type giants in the Baade’s Windows towards the inner Galactic Bulge is investigated in the near-infrared. The ISOGAL survey at 7 and 15μm has given information concerning the mass-loss rates of these stars and their variability characteristics have been extracted from the MACHO database. Most are known to be semi-regular variables (SRVs). Here we discuss how...

The paper demonstrates that the W UMa-type systems might play an important role in studies of the Galactic structure due to their high spatial frequency of occurrence, ease of detection and reasonably tight absolute-magnitude (period, color) calibration. An algorithm, based on Fourier decomposition of light curves, permitted to define a sample of 388 contact binaries with well observed light cu...
