Effect of different stellar galactic environments on planetary discs - I. The solar neighbourhood and the birth cloud of the Sun
We have computed trajectories, distances and times of closest approachesto the Sun by stars in the solar neighbourhood with known position,radial velocity and proper motions. For this purpose, we have used afull potential model of the Galaxy that reproduces the local z-force,the Oort constants, the local escape velocity and the rotation curve ofthe Galaxy. From our sample, we constructed initial conditions, withinobservational uncertainties, with a Monte Carlo scheme for the 12 mostsuspicious candidates because of their small tangential motion. We findthat the star Gliese 710 will have the closest approach to the Sun, witha distance of approximately 0.34 pc in 1.36 Myr in the future. We showthat the effect of a flyby with the characteristics of Gliese 710 on a100 au test particle disc representing the Solar system is negligible.However, since there is a lack of 6D data for a large percentage ofstars in the solar neighbourhood, closer approaches may exist. Wecalculate parameters of passing stars that would cause notable effectson the solar disc. Regarding the birth cloud of the Sun, we performedexperiments to reproduce roughly the observed orbital parameters such aseccentricities and inclinations of the Kuiper belt. It is now known thatin Galactic environments, such as stellar formation regions, the stellardensities of new born stars are high enough to produce close encounterswithin 200 au. Moreover, in these Galactic environments, the velocitydispersion is relatively low, typically ?˜ 1-3 kms-1. We find that with a velocity dispersion of ˜1 kms-1 and an approach distance of about 150 au, typical ofthese regions, we obtain approximately the eccentricities andinclinations seen in the current Solar system. Simple analyticalcalculations of stellar encounters effects on the Oort Cloud arepresented.

Stellar encounters with the solar system
We continue our search, based on Hipparcos data, for stars which haveencountered or will encounter the solar system(García-Sánchez et al. \cite{Garcia}). Hipparcos parallaxand proper motion data are combined with ground-based radial velocitymeasurements to obtain the trajectories of stars relative to the solarsystem. We have integrated all trajectories using three different modelsof the galactic potential: a local potential model, a global potentialmodel, and a perturbative potential model. The agreement between themodels is generally very good. The time period over which our search forclose passages is valid is about +/-10 Myr. Based on the Hipparcos data,we find a frequency of stellar encounters within one parsec of the Sunof 2.3 +/- 0.2 per Myr. However, we also find that the Hipparcos data isobservationally incomplete. By comparing the Hipparcos observations withthe stellar luminosity function for star systems within 50 pc of theSun, we estimate that only about one-fifth of the stars or star systemswere detected by Hipparcos. Correcting for this incompleteness, weobtain a value of 11.7 +/- 1.3 stellar encounters per Myr within one pcof the Sun. We examine the ability of two future missions, FAME andGAIA, to extend the search for past and future stellar encounters withthe Sun.

Speckle Interferometry at the US Naval Observatory. VII.
The results of 2014 speckle interferometric observations of doublestars, made with the 26 inch (66 cm) refractor of the US NavalObservatory, are presented. These observations are averaged into 1266mean positions and range in separation from 0.21" to 13.41", with a meanseparation of 2.61". This is the seventh in a series of paperspresenting measures obtained with this system and covers the period 2000January 10 through December 8.

Stellar Encounters with the Oort Cloud Based on HIPPARCOS Data
We have combined Hipparcos proper-motion and parallax data for nearbystars with ground-based radial velocity measurements to find stars thatmay have passed (or will pass) close enough to the Sun to perturb theOort cloud. Close stellar encounters could deflect large numbers ofcomets into the inner solar system, which would increase the impacthazard at Earth. We find that the rate of close approaches by starsystems (single or multiple stars) within a distance D (in parsecs) fromthe Sun is given by N= 3.5D^2.12 Myr^-1, less than the number predictedby a simple stellar dynamics model. However, this value is clearly alower limit because of observational incompleteness in the Hipparcosdata set. One star, Gliese 710, is estimated to have a closest approachof less than 0.4 pc 1.4 Myr in the future, and several stars come within1 pc during a +/-10 Myr interval. We have performed dynamicalsimulations that show that none of the passing stars perturb the Oortcloud sufficiently to create a substantial increase in the long-periodcomet flux at Earth's orbit.

Mesures et decouvertes d'etoiles doubles effectuees a la lunette de 50cm de l'Observatoire de Nice. Measures and discoveries of visual double stars made with the 50cm refractor at the Nice Observatory.
Measures and discoveries of visual double stars made at the Observatoirede la Cote d'Azur at Nice, between 1988 and 1994, with the 50cmrefractor equipped with a filar micrometer and electronic recordingdevice. The programs proposed by J. Dommanget involve the complement ofthe C.C.D.M. (resolving problems of identification of double stars andof coherency in the Index) and the INput CAtalog Hipparcos (resolutionof ambiguities on the binarity and on the position of certain doublestars which have seldom or never been observed again from the epoch ortheir discovery). The author has discovered three new binaries: JCT1,JCT2 and JCT3.

UVBY observations of A, F, G and K field stars
Photoelectric data in the uvby system have been obtained for about 800southern stars of the Hipparcos Input Catalog (Grenon, 1982, 1985). Mostof the stars are F and G main sequence and fall in the magnitude range V= 8-11.
