A spectroscopic investigation of the O-type star - ORBi
... Results. We confirm the binarity for four objects: HD 193443, HD 228989, HD 229234 and HD 194649. We derive for the first time the orbital solutions of three systems, and we confirm the values of the fourth, showing that these four systems all have orbital periods shorter than 10 days. Besides these ...

Rotation Periods and Relative Ages of Solar-Type Stars
... The search for rotational signals was performed on a set of 102 LMS stars taken from the MWO sample. Criteria for these stars’ selection included a B - V color index similar to that of the sun’s (i.e., 0.55 < B - V < 0.76). The number of experimental data points each star had varied from 50 to over ...
