New Estimates of the Solar-Neighborhood Massive Star Birthrate and the Galactic Supernova Rate
The birthrate of stars of masses >=10 Msolar is estimatedfrom a sample of just over 400 O3-B2 dwarfs within 1.5 kpc of the Sunand the result extrapolated to estimate the Galactic supernova ratecontributed by such stars. The solar-neighborhood Galactic-plane massivestar birthrate is estimated at ~176 stars kpc-3Myr-1. On the basis of a model in which the Galactic stellardensity distribution comprises a ``disk+central hole'' like that of thedust infrared emission (as proposed by Drimmel and Spergel), theGalactic supernova rate is estimated at probably not less than ~1 normore than ~2 per century and the number of O3-B2 dwarfs within the solarcircle at ~200,000.
| Catalog of Galactic OB Stars
An all-sky catalog of Galactic OB stars has been created by extendingthe Case-Hamburg Galactic plane luminous-stars surveys to include 5500additional objects drawn from the literature. This work brings the totalnumber of known or reasonably suspected OB stars to over 16,000.Companion databases of UBVβ photometry and MK classifications forthese objects include nearly 30,000 and 20,000 entries, respectively.
| A search for hot post-AGB stars in the IRAS Point Source Catalog.
In this paper a first step is made to search for hot post-AGB stars inthe IRAS Point Source Catalog. In order to find objects that evolved offthe AGB a longer time ago than post-AGB objects discussed in theliterature, objects that were not detected at 12 μm by IRAS wereselected, The selection yielded 15 objects, of which 12 have spectraltype B, and would appear to be efficient in finding hot objects.However, this result does not necessarily mean that these are oldevolved objects. Some stars are associated with dense galactic cirrusand are probably normal massive supergiants, and a number of stars aregood post-AGB candidates because of their galactic latitudes and theircool, extended infrared emission. The possibility remains that theseobjects are normal supergiants heating the local interstellar medium.Finally, three remaining objects appear to be genuine post-AGB(candidate) stars, as is attested by their spectral and photometricproperties. The main conclusion derived from modelling their spectralenergy distributions is that the objects evolved off the AGB about 1000years ago, significantly longer than what is found for other post-AGBstars. Emission lines have appeared in the spectrum of one of theseobjects, SAO 243756, over the last 20 years. SAO 243756 bears closeresemblance to other objects that have been proposed to have entered thePlanetary Nebula phase recently. Several aspects of the problem ofselecting post-AGB stars in general are discussed.
| UBV photometry for southern OB stars
New UBV photometry of 1227 OB stars in the southern Milky Way ispresented. For 1113 of these stars, MK spectral types have been reportedpreviously in a comprehensive survey to B = 10.0 mag.
| On the 4430 A interstellar band - A visual classification
A system of visual classification of the strength of the interstellarband 4430 A has been developed, based on spectra taken at spectralclassification dispersion. The intensity of the band was divided into 8main classes, defined by a group of selected standard stars. The systemwas applied to 1,111 southern OB stars contained in the catalog ofspectral types by Garrison, Hiltner, and Schild (1977). The mean errorin the classification was estimated to be plus or minus 1 class.Equivalent widths were measured for 100 stars; an excellent correlationwith the visual estimations was obtained. A calibration between thesetwo parameters is given.
