Appendix A: Notes on stars with uncertain rotational velocity
In a few cases, the selected lines are all discarded either from their
Fourier profile or from their skewness (Table 3). For
these stars, an uncertain value of
is derived from the lines
that should have been discarded. They are indicated by a colon and
flagged as "NO'' in Table 5. These objects are listed below. It is
worth noticing that none of them have spectra collected in
spectral range:
- HD 27459 and HD 27819 are early-F and late-A
type stars from Hyades open cluster. Due to their rotational
broadening and their late spectral type, no lines are retained in
.
Their uncertain
are respectively 78: and
41:
.
Varenne & Monier (1999) measure their rotational velocity and
find 78 and 47
.
- HD 32537 is a early-F type star, whose
derived
from discarded line in
is 27:
.
The rotational velocity
measured by Hui-Bon-Hoa (2000) is 21
.
- HD 53929 is a late-B giant star, its spectra in
exhibit very few lines. The
is derived from
Fe II 4233 that is usually discarded because blended. For
this spectral type, blend of the iron line is less pronounced, and
the
is 25:
.
Dworetsky et al. (1998) find the same value.
- Following stars are high rotators whose only measurable line in
is the blended line Fe II 4233.
A.2 Stars with high external error
A few stars of the sample exhibit an external error higher than the
estimation carried on in Sect. 3.3. It can be the
signature of a multiple system.
The following stars have variable
from spectrum to spectrum
and are labeled as "SS'' in Table 5:
- HD 4321 has a mean
,
but
for its different spectra, this value is respectively 38,
and
.
- HD 40446 has a mean
(respectively 27, 32 and 22
). The HIPPARCOS solution for this
object is flagged "suspected non single''.
- HD 40626 has a mean
(
and
). The
found by
Ramella et al. (1989) is 10.8
.
- HD 103578 has a mean
(
,
). It is a SB2 system, and Hummel et al. (2001) who study its orbital
motion, find
and
for the
of each component.
