AbstractWe present new photometric and astrometric data available for S Ori 70 and 73, the two T-type planetary-mass member candidates in the σ Orionis cluster (~3 ± 2 Myr, d~360 pc). S Ori 70 (J ~ 19.9 mag) has a spectral type of T5.5 ± 1.0 measured from published near-infrared spectra, while no spectroscopic data are available for S Ori 73 (J ~ 21 mag). We estimate the spectral type of S Ori 73 by using J, H, and CH4off (λc=1.575 μm, Δλ=0.112 μm) photometry and comparing the H-CH4off index of S Ori 73 with the colors of field stars and brown dwarfs of spectral types in the range F to late T. The locations of S Ori 70 and 73 in the J-H vs H-CH4off color-color diagram are consistent with spectral types T8 ± 1 and T4 ± 1, respectively. Proper motion measurements of the two sources are larger than the motion of the central σ Ori star, making their cluster membership somehow uncertain.

FI Lyr=IRAS18401+2854 is listed in the GCVS as type of SRb, the spectral type is M. In the IRAS LRS Catalog it is classified as 41, namely having the SiC feature at 11.3μm from a carbon-rich dust shell. We have obtained optical and near infrared spectra in the same period, but they show different chemical natures. We suggest that FI Lyr is a good candidate of a binary system consisting of carbon-rich and oxygen-rich companions.

AbstractWe highlight differences in spectral types and intrinsic colors observed in pre-main sequence (pre-MS) stars. Spectral types of pre-MS stars are wavelength-dependent, with near-infrared spectra being 3-5 spectral sub-classes later than the spectral types determined from optical spectra. In addition, the intrinsic colors of young stars differ from that of main-sequence stars at a given spectral type. We caution observers to adopt optical spectral types over near-infrared types, since Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram positions derived from optical spectral types provide consistency between dynamical masses and theoretical evolutionary tracks. We also urge observers to deredden pre-MS stars with tabulations of intrinsic colors specifically constructed for young stars, since their unreddened colors differ from that of main sequence dwarfs. Otherwise, V-band extinctions as much as ~0.6 mag erroneously higher than the true extinction may result, which would introduce systematic errors in the H-R diagram positions and thus bias the inferred ages.

The advent of spectral imaging and recent trends towards the compilation of large spectral databases have caused renewed interest in the compression of near infrared spectra for purposes of storage. A comparison of approaches using Fourier and wavelet transforms shows that wavelets are generally, though not always, more efficient than Fourier at compressing near infrared spectra. The Daubechies extremal phase wavelet of order 4 is a good choice for this purpose.
