Abstract: We have performed spectral classification and measurements of the axial rotation velocity for the brightest stars in the region of the open cluster NGC 6025. A distant modulus of 9.80 ± 0.06 (pe) and an age of 84 million years were derived. The brightest star of the cluster, HD 143448 was classified as B1Ve and it is a blue straggler as was proposed by other authors (see Mermilliod 1982). We have found three peculiar stars (two Si and one Hg-Mn?). Another star in the field has emission but is probably a non member. We have also found two SB2 binaries The average axial rotation for the cluster members seems to be 73% of the average rotation of the field stars with the same temperature.

Abstract: Using the abundance matching technique, we infer the local stellar and baryonic mass-halo mass (Ms - Mh and Mb - Mh) relations separately for central blue and red galaxies (BGs and RGs). The observational inputs are the SDSS central BG and RG Stellar Mass Functions and the measured gas mass-Ms relations. For halos associated to central BGs, the distinct ΛCDM Halo Mass Function is used and set up to exclude: (i) the observed group/cluster mass function and (ii) halos with a central major merger at resdshifts z ≤ 0.8. For central RGs, the complement of this mass function to the total one is used. At Mh < 1011.5 M, the Ms of RGs tend to be higher than those of BGs for a given Mh, the difference not being larger than 1.7. At Mh > 1011.5 \msun$, this trend is inverted. For BGs (RGs): (a) the maximum value of$f_{\rm s}=M_{\rm s}/M_{\rm h}$is 0.021+0.016-0.009 ($0.034^{+0.026}_{-0.015}$) and it is attained at$\log(M_{\rm h}/\msun)$=12.0$ (=11.9); (b) $f_{\rm s}\propto$ $M_{\rm h}$ ($f_{\rm s}\propto M_{\rm h}^3$) at the low-mass end while at the high-mass end, $f_{\rm s}\propto M_{\rm h}^{-0.4}$ ($f_{\rm s}\propto M_{\rm h}^{-0.6}$). The baryon mass fractions, $f_{\rm b}=M_{\rm b}/M_{\rm h}$, of BGs and RGs reach maximum values of $f_{\rm b}=0.028^{+0.018}_{-0.011}$ and $f_{\rm b}=0.034^{+0.025}_{-0.014}$, respectively. At $M_{\rm h}<10^{11.3} \msun$, the dependence of $f_{\rm b}$ on $M_{\rm h}$ is much steeper for RGs than for BGs. We discuss on the differences found in the $f_{\rm s}$-$M_{\rm h}$ and $f_{\rm b}$-$M_{\rm h}$ relations between BGs and RGs in the light of semi-empirical galaxy evolution inferences.

Abstract: This work is part of our current study for verifying a possible relation between abundances of HgMn stars with stellar parameters, rotation and age. We present an analysis of the stars HR 3273, HR 8118, HR 8567 and HR 8937. We used echelle spectra taken with the CASLEO 2.1 m telescope and ATLAS9 model atmospheres. He I was underabundant for the HgMn stars. O was slightly underabundant in HR 3273 and HR 8567. Mg II was underabundant except for HR 8118. Si II was close to solar in HR 8118 and HR 8937, and underabundant in HR 3273 and HR 8567. Fe was slightly underabundant in HR 3273 and HR 8567, and slightly overabundant in HR 8118 and HR 8937. The species Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Sr, Y and Zr were overabundant while Ni was underabundant.

Abstract: We present speckle interferometric measurements of binary stars performed during August of 2010 with the 1.5 m telescope and during November of 2010 with the 2.1 m telescope of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at SPM (Mexico). We report here the results of 238 measurements of 225 pairs with a primary limiting magnitude of V = 12.2; 211 of them have separations less than 1″. The mean error in separation is 0.′′03 and 1.5 in position angle. Some of the position angles were determined with the usual 180 ambiguity.
