The cross-correlation between the ROSAT all-sky survey (~150000 sources) and the Tycho mission (~1000000 stars) catalogs has selected about 14000 stellar X-ray sources (RasTyc sample, Guillout et al. 1999). About 200-300 stars have been spectroscopically observed at high resolution both in the Halpha and LiI lambda-6708 regions with Elodie and Aurelie spectrographs of the OHP (Observatoire de lHaute Provence, France). The aim was to classify the RasTyc star sample in terms of age and chromospheric activity level and to detect eventual binary systems. Photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations of a RasTyc sub-sample composed of particularly interesting objects (binaries and very young stars) has been performed with the 91-cm telescope of the Catania Astrophysical Observatory. In this work we present some results of this monitoring. In particular, we have obtained good radial velocity curves and solved for the orbits of three SB2 and three SB1 spectroscopic binaries. In addition, for near all sources we have detected a photometric modulation ascribable to photospheric surface inhomogeneities and chromospheric Halpha line variation.
During the study of a large set of late-type stellar X-ray sources, we discovered a large fraction of multiple systems. In this paper we investigate the orbital elements and kinematic properties of three new spectroscopic triple systems as well as sp
We present preliminary results of follow-up optical observations, both photometric and spectroscopic, of stellar X-ray sources, selected from the cross-correlation of ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) and TYCHO catalogues. Spectra were acquired with the El
We present a photometric survey of the optical counterparts of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in nearby (< 5 Mpc) galaxies. Of the 33 ULXs with Hubble & Chandra data, 9 have no visible counterpart, placing
The BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras detected a transient in NGC6440 on 1998 Aug 22. ROSAT did not detect this source on 1998 Sep 8, indicating that the X-ray flux had decreased by a factor 400 at least, and/or that the X-ray spectrum had become appreciab
We set out a simulation to explore the follow-up of exoplanet candidates. We look at comparing photometric (transit method) and spectroscopic (Doppler shift method) techniques using three instruments: NGTS, HARPS and CORALIE. We take into account pre
