Abstract:
We present the results of high-resolution spectroscopic and
high-precision photometric observations on a sample of 129 late-F and
G-type nearby stars selected on the basis of their large rotational
velocity. Using also data from the Hipparcos satellite, CORAVEL and
from the ROSAT satellite database, we infer spectral types, compute
radial velocities, vsini, Li abundances and X-ray luminosities and
investigate the single or binary nature of the sample stars. Such a
careful analysis of our sample shows a large fraction of binaries
(~62%) and of young single disk stars. In particular, at least 9 stars
can be considered bona-fide PMS or ZAMS objects, and 30 stars are
identified as SBs for the first time. Information on the presence of
Ca II K emission and on optical variability is given for some of the
stars of the sample.
The photometry has been obtained at the European Southern Observatory
(ESO-La silla, Chile) during several observing runs (19/11-03/12 1993,
24/11-04/12 1994, 15-28/01/1995 and 1-12/10/1995), by using the 50cm
ESO telescope.
