Polarimetry of Li-rich giants
Context: .Protoplanetary nebulae typically present non-sphericalenvelopes. The origin of such geometry is still controversial. There areindications that it may be carried over from an earlier phase of stellarevolution, such as the AGB phase. But how early in the star's evolutiondoes the non-spherical envelope appear? Aims.Li-rich giants show dustycircumstellar envelopes that can help answer that question. We study asample of fourteen Li-rich giants using optical polarimetry in order todetect non-spherical envelopes around them. Methods.We used the IAGPOLimaging polarimeter to obtain optical linear polarization measurementsin {V} band. Foreground polarization was estimated using the field starsin each CCD frame.Results.After foreground polarization was removed,seven objects presented low intrinsic polarization (0.19-0.34)% and two(V859 Aql and GCSS 557) showedhigh intrinsic polarization values (0.87-1.16)%. This intrinsicpolarization suggests that Li-rich giants present a non-sphericaldistribution of circumstellar dust. The intrinsic polarization level isprobably related to the viewing angle of the envelope, with higherlevels indicating objects viewed closer to edge-on. The correlation ofthe observed polarization with optical color excess gives additionalsupport to the circumstellar origin of the intrinsic polarization inLi-rich giants. The intrinsic polarization correlates even better withthe IRAS 25 μ m far infrared emission. Analysis of spectral energydistributions for the sample show dust temperatures for the envelopesthat tend to be between 190 and 260 K. We suggest that dust scatteringis indeed responsible for the optical intrinsic polarization in Li-richgiants.Conclusions.Our findings indicate that non-spherical envelopesmay appear as early as the red giant phase of stellar evolution.
| Merged catalogue of reflection nebulae
Several catalogues of reflection nebulae are merged to create a uniformcatalogue of 913 objects. It contains revised coordinates,cross-identifications of nebulae and stars, as well as identificationswith IRAS point sources.The catalogue is 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/399/141
| Hipparcos red stars in the HpV_T2 and V I_C systems
For Hipparcos M, S, and C spectral type stars, we provide calibratedinstantaneous (epoch) Cousins V - I color indices using newly derivedHpV_T2 photometry. Three new sets of ground-based Cousins V I data havebeen obtained for more than 170 carbon and red M giants. These datasetsin combination with the published sources of V I photometry served toobtain the calibration curves linking Hipparcos/Tycho Hp-V_T2 with theCousins V - I index. In total, 321 carbon stars and 4464 M- and S-typestars have new V - I indices. The standard error of the mean V - I isabout 0.1 mag or better down to Hp~9 although it deteriorates rapidly atfainter magnitudes. These V - I indices can be used to verify thepublished Hipparcos V - I color indices. Thus, we have identified ahandful of new cases where, instead of the real target, a random fieldstar has been observed. A considerable fraction of the DMSA/C and DMSA/Vsolutions for red stars appear not to be warranted. Most likely suchspurious solutions may originate from usage of a heavily biased color inthe astrometric processing.Based on observations from the Hipparcos astrometric satellite operatedby the European Space Agency (ESA 1997).}\fnmsep\thanks{Table 7 is onlyavailable in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp tocdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/397/997
| Catalogue of [Fe/H] determinations for FGK stars: 2001 edition
The catalogue presented here is a compilation of published atmosphericparameters (Teff, log g, [Fe/H]) obtained from highresolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopic observations. This newedition has changed compared to the five previous versions. It is nowrestricted to intermediate and low mass stars (F, G and K stars). Itcontains 6354 determinations of (Teff, log g, [Fe/H]) for3356 stars, including 909 stars in 79 stellar systems. The literature iscomplete between January 1980 and December 2000 and includes 378references. The catalogue is made up of two tables, one for field starsand one for stars in galactic associations, open and globular clustersand external galaxies. The catalogue is distributed through the CDSdatabase. Access to the catalogue with cross-identification to othersets of data is also possible with VizieR (Ochsenbein et al.\cite{och00}). The catalogue (Tables 1 and 2) is only available inelectronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr(130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/373/159 and VizieRhttp://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/.
| Detailed analysis of a sample of Li-rich giants
A detailed analysis has been carried out for a sample of 16 red giantsshowing a strong Li I 670.8 nm line. Ten of them were detected in asurvey by Castilho et al. (1998), and the other 6 stars are Li-richgiants selected from the literature. Element abundances in the sampleLi-rich giants are similar to those in normal red giants, differing onlyby their high Li abundance and infrared excess. This suggests thatLi-rich giants may correspond to a phase of stellar evolution of normalred giants, when Li is produced and transported to the atmosphere.

| Li-rich giants: A survey based on IRAS colours
In a previous work we studied the IRAS colours of known Li-rich redgiants and showed that they have flux ratiosF12/F25 and F25/F60 in welldefined ranges. By using this result as a selection criterion, weprepared a list of 280 IRAS Point Source candidates to be Li-rich giantstars. Up to the present we have obtained spectra for 57% of our targetlist. We identified five stars showing a strong LiI 670.079 nm line andsix ones with a Li line of medium strength. Most of the candidates showfeatures typical of normal giants having circumstellar dust, asindicated by their IRAS colours. Observations collected at theLaboratorio Nacional de Astrofisica - LNA, Brazil; Observatoire de HauteProvence - OHP, France; European Southern Observatory - ESO, Chile.
| Classification and Identification of IRAS Sources with Low-Resolution Spectra
IRAS low-resolution spectra were extracted for 11,224 IRAS sources.These spectra were classified into astrophysical classes, based on thepresence of emission and absorption features and on the shape of thecontinuum. Counterparts of these IRAS sources in existing optical andinfrared catalogs are identified, and their optical spectral types arelisted if they are known. The correlations between thephotospheric/optical and circumstellar/infrared classification arediscussed.
| High resolution spectra of Li-rich giants
We present high resolution spectra for 5 Lithium rich red giantsdiscovered in an ongoing survey based on IRAS colours. Other 6 starsshowing medium strength of the Li line are also presented here. Highresolution one order spectra for the program stars were obtained at theLaboratorio Nacional de Astrofisica (LNA) and Observatoire de HauteProvence (OHP), and the echelle spectrum of HD 146850 was obtained atthe European Southern Observatory (ESO). The 11 one order spectra andthe 40 orders of the echelle spectra were calibrated in wavelength andnormalized in relative intensity.
| Analysis of the moderately Li-rich giant HD 146850.
We report the identification of 3 Li-rich giants discovered in anongoing survey based on IRAS colours. A detailed analysis of one ofthese, HD 146850, is presented here. High-resolution spectra wereobtained for this star, using CASPEC at the 3.6m telescope of ESO. Wederived the stellar parameters (T_eff_, log g, [M/H])=4000, 1.5, -0.3. Alithium abundance of ɛ(Li)=1.6 is found, whereas [C/Fe]~0.0 and[N/Fe]~-0.1 indicating that no convective mixing has occurred. Theabundances of oxygen [O/Fe]=~+0.1 and α-elements[Mg/Fe]=[Ti/Fe]=[Ca/Fe]=~0.0 suggest that we are dealing with a diskstar, for which the radial velocity v_r_=42km/s is also moderate.
