Long-term photometric monitoring with the Mercator telescope. Frequencies and multicolour amplitudes of γ Doradus stars
Context: γ Dor stars are excellent targets for asteroseismologysince the gravity modes present in these stars probe the deep stellarinteriors. Mode identification will improve the knowledge of these starsconsiderably. Aims: A selected group of γ Dor stars and somecandidates were observed with the Mercator telescope to find and/orconfirm the periodicities in the light variations and to derive reliableamplitude ratios in different pass bands. Methods: A frequency analysiswas performed on all new data obtained in the Geneva photometric system.In order to have more reliable and accurate frequencies, the new datawere combined with similar data from the literature and with Hipparcosobservations. A set of frequencies that minimized the residuals in aharmonic fit was searched for while allowing means and amplitudes tovary from one observation set to another. Results: Frequencies andamplitudes in the photometric passbands of the Geneva system are givenfor 21 γ Dor stars. We report the discovery of HD74504 as a newly found γ Dor star. Conclusions: Ourstudy provides the first extensive multicolour database for theunderstanding of gravity modes in F-type stars.Based on observations collected with the Flemish 1.2-m MercatorTelescope at Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma.

UV flux distributions of γ Doradus stars
Context: It seems that the recently identified class of pulsating stars,the γ Dor type-variables, includes objects with different metalabundances and a large percentage of binaries. Aims: We looked forindicators of metal abundance peculiarities and stellar binarity in asample of 40 confirmed γ Dor stars. Methods: Absolute magnitudesfrom Hipparcos parallaxes and UV magnitudes, from the S2/S68 experimenton board the TD1 satellite, are retrieved from databases and comparedwith predicted values. A set of non variable normal stars is used tocheck the consistency of this analysis and also serve as referencestars. Results: Twenty-nine stars of the γ Dor star sample,which is 73% of it, are discovered having abnormal UV fluxes constantlyshowing UV flux excesses compared to those computed with the atmosphericparameters (Teff , log g, and metallicity) determined fromcalibration of the uvbyβ indices. The reason for this UV excess offlux at 196.5 nm and at 236.5 nm, which was previously known only for HD209295, cannot be ascribed to binarity alone. An extra source of UV fluxor less UV absorption - yet unknown - must be present.Tables 1-3 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/472/241

Photometry and Spectroscopy of 11 γ Doradus Stars
We have used precise photometric and high-dispersion spectroscopicobservations to study 11 γ Doradus stars, 10 of them newlyconfirmed. Only five of these 11 γ Doradus stars appear to besingle; two are primaries of double-lined spectroscopic binaries, one isthe secondary of a double-lined binary, two are primaries of visualbinaries and, in the case of the double-lined binary (HD 86371), eitheror both components could be a pulsating γ Doradus star. We havedetermined a preliminary orbital period of 5.32 days for thedouble-lined binary HD 41547. Several of the stars show spectroscopicline-profile and low-amplitude radial velocity variability indicative ofpulsation. All 11 stars are photometrically variable with amplitudesbetween 4 and 94 mmag in Johnson B and periods between 0.38 and 1.86days. The 11 stars have between two and five independent periods. Thevariability at all periods approximates a sinusoid. We provide a newtabulation of all 66 γ Doradus stars confirmed to date and listsome of their properties. All are dwarfs or subgiants and lie within awell-defined region of the H-R diagram that overlaps the cool edge ofthe δ Scuti instability strip. Four of the new γ Doradusvariables from this paper also lie within the δ Scuti instabilitystrip but do not exhibit the additional higher frequency variabilitytypical of δ Scuti stars. Among the 66 confirmed γ Doradusvariables, we find no correlation between the period of the strongestpulsation mode and the (B-V) color index, absolute magnitude, orluminosity.

The 78th Name-List of Variable Stars
We present the next regular Name-List of variable stars containinginformation on 1706 variable stars recently designated in the system ofthe General Catalogue of Variable Stars.

The Geneva-Copenhagen survey of the Solar neighbourhood. Ages, metallicities, and kinematic properties of ˜14 000 F and G dwarfs
We present and discuss new determinations of metallicity, rotation, age,kinematics, and Galactic orbits for a complete, magnitude-limited, andkinematically unbiased sample of 16 682 nearby F and G dwarf stars. Our˜63 000 new, accurate radial-velocity observations for nearly 13 500stars allow identification of most of the binary stars in the sampleand, together with published uvbyβ photometry, Hipparcosparallaxes, Tycho-2 proper motions, and a few earlier radial velocities,complete the kinematic information for 14 139 stars. These high-qualityvelocity data are supplemented by effective temperatures andmetallicities newly derived from recent and/or revised calibrations. Theremaining stars either lack Hipparcos data or have fast rotation. Amajor effort has been devoted to the determination of new isochrone agesfor all stars for which this is possible. Particular attention has beengiven to a realistic treatment of statistical biases and errorestimates, as standard techniques tend to underestimate these effectsand introduce spurious features in the age distributions. Our ages agreewell with those by Edvardsson et al. (\cite{edv93}), despite severalastrophysical and computational improvements since then. We demonstrate,however, how strong observational and theoretical biases cause thedistribution of the observed ages to be very different from that of thetrue age distribution of the sample. Among the many basic relations ofthe Galactic disk that can be reinvestigated from the data presentedhere, we revisit the metallicity distribution of the G dwarfs and theage-metallicity, age-velocity, and metallicity-velocity relations of theSolar neighbourhood. Our first results confirm the lack of metal-poor Gdwarfs relative to closed-box model predictions (the ``G dwarfproblem''), the existence of radial metallicity gradients in the disk,the small change in mean metallicity of the thin disk since itsformation and the substantial scatter in metallicity at all ages, andthe continuing kinematic heating of the thin disk with an efficiencyconsistent with that expected for a combination of spiral arms and giantmolecular clouds. Distinct features in the distribution of the Vcomponent of the space motion are extended in age and metallicity,corresponding to the effects of stochastic spiral waves rather thanclassical moving groups, and may complicate the identification ofthick-disk stars from kinematic criteria. More advanced analyses of thisrich material will require careful simulations of the selection criteriafor the sample and the distribution of observational errors.Based on observations made with the Danish 1.5-m telescope at ESO, LaSilla, Chile, and with the Swiss 1-m telescope at Observatoire deHaute-Provence, France.Complete Tables 1 and 2 are only available in electronic form at the CDSvia anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/418/989

Multi-site, multi-technique survey of γ Doradus candidates. I. Spectroscopic results for 59 stars
We present the first results of a 2-year high-resolution spectroscopycampaign of 59 candidate γ Doradus stars which were mainlydiscovered from the HIPPARCOS astrometric mission. More than 60% of thestars present line profile variations which can be interpreted as due topulsation related to γ Doradus stars. For all stars we alsoderived the projected rotation velocity (up to more than 200 kms-1). The amplitude ratios 2K/Δ m for the mainHIPPARCOS frequency are in the range 35-96 kms-1,mag-1. About 50% of the candidates arepossible members of binary systems, with 20 stars being confirmedγ Doradus. At least 6 stars present composite spectra, and in allbut one case (for which only one spectrum could be obtained), the narrowcomponent shows line profile variations, pointing towards anuncomfortable situation if this narrow component originates from a shellsurrounding the star. This paper is the first of a series concerningmode identification using both photometric and spectroscopic methods forthe confirmed γ Doradus stars of the present sample.Partially based on observations obtained at the Observatoire deHaute-Provence.

A Dozen New γ Doradus Stars
We use new high-dispersion spectroscopic and precise photometricobservations to identify 12 new γ Doradus stars. Two of the 12systems are double-lined binaries that show obvious velocityvariability. Five other stars have metallic lines with compositeprofiles characterized by a narrow feature near the center of each broadcomponent. Spectrograms of the Hα line indicate that all fivestars are binaries rather than shell stars. The remaining five stars inour sample are probably single. All 12 stars are photometricallyvariable with amplitudes between 6 and 87 mmag in Johnson B and periodsbetween 0.3 and 1.2 days. Four stars are monoperiodic; the rest havebetween two and five independent periods. The variability at all periodsapproximates a sinusoid. Although many of the stars lie within theδ Scuti instability strip, none exhibit the higher frequencyvariability seen in δ Scuti stars. We have increased the sample ofknown γ Doradus stars by 40% and revised the positions of a numberof variables in the H-R diagram by accounting for duplicity. Our list of42 confirmed γ Doradus variables gives some of their properties.All are dwarfs or subgiants and lie within a well-defined region of theH-R diagram that overlaps the cool edge of the δ Scuti instabilitystrip. We compare the observed location of the γ Doradus variableswith a recently published theoretical γ Doradus instability stripand find good agreement.

Evidence of the gamma Doradus nature for a group of candidates
We present in this paper new uvbybeta photometry of eight starssuspected to be gamma Doradus variables according to Handler & Kaye(\cite{handler00}). The new observational material has been analyzed andpreviously published data re-analyzed by means of an objective periodsearch technique, based on the least-squares algorithm, called Multifre(Bossi & Nuñez \cite{bossi}). We found evidence for theinclusion of seven of these stars in the list of recognized gammaDoradus variables.

The domain of γ Doradus variables in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram
70 new γ Doradus candidates were identified from Hipparcosphotometry, which represents more than a doubling of the presently knownnumber. Selecting the objects with good evidence for multiperiodicity,it is found that these stars, together with bona fide members of theclass, occupy a well-defined region in a colour-magnitude diagram. Thisdomain corresponds to a range of 7200-7700K on the zero-age mainsequence (ZAMS) and 6900-7500K one magnitude above it, which partlyoverlaps with the instability strip of δ Scuti stars. For thefirst time, γ Doradus stars can be discussed as a group. They canbe found over a significant fraction of the main sequence lifetimes forobjects in the relevant temperature range. An upper limit on the surfacemetallicity of γ Doradus stars is apparent, which may guide thesearch for their pulsation driving mechanism. The importance of possibleobjects exhibiting both γ Doradus and δ Scuti-typepulsations is discussed.
