Description:
Because of the great importance of multiple and double Orion variable
stars, in order to investigate some cosmogonical problems, a search for
Trapezium-type multiple systems in T-associations from P.N.Kholopov's
list (Kholopov, 1970). was carried out on the basis of the survey of
Palomar maps. These include 13 associations (Aur T1, Cep T1, Cep T2, Oph
T1, Sco T1, Ori T1, Ori T2, Ori T3, Ori T4, Tau T1, Tau T2, Tau T3, Tau
T4), located at the distance of up to 500 pc. As generally accepted, the
following types of irregular variable stars were considered to belong to
T-associations. They are IA, INA, IN, INB, INT, UVN, INS, UV,
INBS, INAS, INTS. From catalogues of variable stars all stars of the above
mentioned types, belonging to the selected T-associations, were written
out. Thus, for each association lists of stars were compiled to
ascertain whether they belonged to the Trapezium-type systems or not.
The total number of variable stars is 880, but among them the search was
carried on around 670 stars.
For the survey of Palomar maps a special microscope was constructed,
equipped with a micrometer for measuring distances with the accuracy of
up to 0.005 mm, and a screw, enabling the measurement of positional
angles with an accuracy of up to 0.5 deg. This microscope is fixed on a
special small table belonging to the stereometro- graph and can move in
two directions, perpendicular to each other. The map was illuminated
from above with the help of a special lamp from the stereometrograph's
pack. On Palomar maps in both e and b colours in a radius of 1'of arc
around each studied star, distances, positional angles and diameters
were measured for all stars. The error of one determination of the
components' distances to the main star is equal to plus/minus 0.5
arcsec. and the error of one determination a positional angle for
distances up to 10 sec. was equal to plus/minus 2deg.; for the greater
distances equal to plus/minus 1 deg.
In order to derive magnitudes of stars of the selected associations
(except Ori T2), measured on both Palomar atlas maps, the relation
between images' diameters and magnitudes, presented in Dorschner's work
(Dorschner, 1966), was used. The authors evaluate mean error of one
determination as plus/minus 0.5 magnitudes. For the derivation of
magnitudes of Ori T2 stars, measured on the meniscus telescope plates
and Palomar atlas maps, standard stars from Andrews' work (Andrews,
1970) were used. Thus, magnitudes for Ori T2 stars were determined with
the accuracy of plus/minus 0.2 mag.
After measuring relative positions and determining magnitudes,
components, for which distance to the main star exceeds some limit,
determined by Aitken's formula were ignored in order to exclude optical
systems. The maximum distance accepted for the components of 15th
magnitude in the Johnson and Morgan, V system was equal to 60 sec., and
for the components of the 20th magnitude equal to 6 sec.
The following data on the Trapezia are given in the catalogue: the name
of the main star and data on it; right ascension and declination for
the year 1900, magnitude, spectral class and type of irregular variable
star; positional angles and components' distances relative to the main
star, magnitudes and colour indices, spectral classes and the type of
irregular variable stars of the Trapezia components. In the notes
identification of the main star as well as of the Trapezia components is
given.
