Broadband UBVRCIC Photometry of Horizontal-Branch and Metal-poor Candidates from the HK and Hamburg/ESO Surveys. I.
We report broadband UBV and/or BVRCIC CCDphotometry for a total of 1857 stars in the thick-disk and halopopulations of the Galaxy. The majority of our targets were selected ascandidate field horizontal-branch or other A-type stars (FHB/A, N=576),or candidate low-metallicity stars (N=1221), from the HK and Hamburg/ESOobjective-prism surveys. Similar data for a small number of additionalstars from other samples are also reported. These data are being usedfor several purposes. In the case of the FHB/A candidates they are usedto accurately separate the lower gravity FHB stars from various highergravity A-type stars, a subsample that includes the so-called blue metalpoor stars, halo and thick-disk blue stragglers, main-sequence A-typedwarfs, and Am and Ap stars. These data are also being used to derivephotometric distance estimates to high-velocity hydrogen clouds in theGalaxy and for improved measurements of the mass of the Galaxy.Photometric data for the metal-poor candidates are being used to refineestimates of stellar metallicity for objects with availablemedium-resolution spectroscopy, to obtain distance estimates forkinematic analyses, and to establish initial estimates of effectivetemperature for analysis of high-resolution spectroscopy of the starsfor which this information now exists.
| uvby-β photometry of high-velocity and metal-poor stars. X. Stars of very low metal abundance: Observations, reddenings, metallicities, classifications, distances, and relative ages
uvby(-β) photometry has been obtained for an additional 411 verymetal-poor stars selected from the HK survey, and used to derive basicparameters such as interstellar reddenings, metallicities, photometricclassifications, distances, and relative ages. Interstellar reddeningsadopted from the Schlegel et al. (\cite{schlegel}) maps agree well withthose from the intrinsic-color calibration of Schuster & Nissen(\cite{schuster89}). [Fe/H] values are obtained from the CaII K lineindex of the HK survey combined with the uvby and UBV photometry. Thec0,(b-y)0 diagram is seen to be very useful forclassifying these very metal-poor field stars into categories similar tothose derived from globular cluster color-magnitude diagrams; the HKsurvey has detected metal-poor candidates extending from the red-giantto the blue-horizontal branch, and from the horizontal branch tosubluminous stars. Distances derived from UBV photometry agreereasonably well with those from uvby, considering the paucity of goodcalibrating stars and the extrapolations required for the mostmetal-poor stars. These very metal-poor stars are compared to M 92 inthe c0,(b-y)0 diagram, and evidence is seen forfield stars 1-3 Gyrs younger than this globular cluster; uncertaintiesin the [Fe/H] scale for M 92 would only tend to increase this agedifference. Significant reddening uncertainties for M 92 are unlikelybut might decrease this difference. The significance of these youngervery metal-poor stars is discussed in the context of Galactic evolution,mentioning such possibilities as hierarchical star-formation/mass-infallof very metal-poor material and/or accretion events whereby thismaterial has been acquired from other (dwarf) galaxies with differentformation and chemical-enrichment histories.Based on observations collected at the H.

Johnson 1.5 m telescope atthe Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at San Pedro Mártir,Baja California, México, and at the Danish 1.5 m telescope, LaSilla, Chile.Tables 1-9 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/422/527
| A Search for Stars of Very Low Metal Abundance. IV. UVBYCA Observations of Metal-weak Candidates from the Northern HK Survey
CCD photometry on the uvbyCa system has been obtained for 521 candidatemetal-poor stars from the northern hemisphere HK survey of Beers andcolleagues. Reddening corrections, classifications of stars byluminosity class, and the derivation of metal abundances based onStrömgren indices m1 and hk are described and presented,along with preliminary spectroscopic estimates of abundance. A number ofextremely metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<=-2.50 are identified.

| Uvby-beta photometry of high-velocity and metal-poor stars. IV - Distances, kinematics, and galactic orbits for stars with Fe/H equal to or less than -2.0
From the catalog of high-velocity and metal-poor stars of Schuster andNissen 43 stars with Fe/H equal to or less than -2.0 were selected as asample representative of the oldest, most kinematically extremecomponent of the galaxy. For these stars, photometric distances weredetermined. Their galactic orbits were then numerically integrated inthe galactic potential model of Allen and Martos (1986). Of the 40 starswith complete data, 27 are found to be in box-orbits, 2 in orbitsverging on chaotic, 9 in chaotic, and 2 in tube-like orbits. Four starsattaining R(max) greater than 50 kpc and five stars with loweccentricities (e less than 0.4) are present in the sample. No obviouscorrelations of ages and/or metallicities with kinematical parameterswere found. Two mechanisms for hiding chemical gradients in the halo areshown to be of importance.
| Ubvy-beta photometry of high-velocity and metal-poor stars. III - Metallicities and ages of the halo stars
The interstellar color excesses, E(b-y) and the metallicities, Fe/Habundance ratio, are determined for the 711 high-velocity and metal-poorstars in the catalog of ubvy-beta photometry compiled by Schuster andNissen (1988). It is found that 220 of these are halo stars and that 15percent of these halo stars have colors that are significantly affectedby interstellar reddening. A minimum age of 18-20 Gyr is determined forthe halo stars. The results suggest that a pressure-supported slowuniform collapse controlled the formation and evolution of the Galaxy.
| Four-color UVBY and H-beta photometry of high-velocity and metal-poor stars. I - The catalogue of observations
A catalog of four-color uvby and H-beta photometry for 711 high-velocityand metal-poor stars is given. The selection of the stars and theobserving and reduction techniques used to obtain these data arediscussed. The photometry has been transformed closely onto the standarduvby-beta system. The errors of the data have been estimated using bothinternal and external comparisons. The data are uniform over the sky;that is, there are no significant north-south differences. For the largemajority of stars the mean errors of V, m1, c1, and beta are less than +or - 0.008 mag, and the error of b-y is less than + or - 0.005 mag.Values of V, b-y and beta and rough photometric classifications aregiven for 63 red and/or evolved stars that fall outside the range of thephotometric transformations.
