The Hipparcos catalogue provides an accurate and extensive sampling of the solar neighbourhood HR diagram. The morphology of this diagram depends on selection criteria of the catalogue such as the limiting magnitude, angular separation and on the characteristics of the stellar populations near the sun (space density, metallicity, star formation rate, etc). Since the Hipparcos data are so accurate, one needs to model precisely the different selection bias and, at the same time, parametrize models of the galactic stellar populations with sufficient flexibility that as much information as possible can be grasped from the catalogue. Comparisons between our model and the Hipparcos catalogue will be presented elsewhere. Since the quantity of information contained in the Hipparcoscatalogue is so important, models ought to be complex, and external contraints, obtained prior to any general comparison with the model, are welcome. A major factor that influences the distribution of the stars in the HR diagram is the metallicity. For the late type stars, the metallicity distribution can be best studied by re-analysing a volume-limited sample of stars from the catalogue.

ABSTRACT We investigate the environmental dependence of the stellar populations of galaxies in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7). Echoing earlier works, we find that satellites are both more metal-rich (<0.1 dex) and older (<2 Gyr) than centrals of the same stellar mass. However, after separating star-forming, green valley, and passive galaxies, we find that the true environmental dependence of both stellar metallicity (<0.03 dex) and age (<0.5 Gyr) is in fact much weaker. We show that the strong environmental effects found when galaxies are not differentiated result from a combination of selection effects brought about by the environmental dependence of the quenched fraction of galaxies, and thus we strongly advocate for the separation of star-forming, green valley, and passive galaxies when the environmental dependence of galaxy properties are investigated. We also study further environmental trends separately for both central and satellite galaxies. We find that star-forming galaxies show no environmental effects, neither for centrals nor for satellites. In contrast, the stellar metallicities of passive and green valley satellites increase weakly (<0.05 and <0.08 dex, respectively) with increasing halo mass, increasing local overdensity and decreasing projected distance from their central; this effect is interpreted in terms of moderate environmental starvation (‘strangulation’) contributing to the quenching of satellite galaxies. Finally, we find a unique feature in the stellar mass–stellar metallicity relation for passive centrals, where galaxies in more massive haloes have larger stellar mass (∼0.1 dex) at constant stellar metallicity; this effect is interpreted in terms of dry merging of passive central galaxies and/or progenitor bias.

AbstractWe report recent International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) observations of two interacting binaries, R Arae and HD 207739. The ultraviolet spectra indicate the presence of optically-thick, variable hot plasma in those binary systems. These two binaries may belong to a class of binaries that are currently undergoing a rarely observed and probably short-lived phase in their evolution. Their properties are compared with those of two other interacting binaries, U Cephei and ß Lyrae.
