Rotational velocities of 136 B stars from ALS

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have determined projected rotational velocities, vsini, from Magellan/MIKE echelle spectra for a sample of 136 early B-type stars having large Galactocentric distances.

Description

The target selection was done independently of their possible membership in clusters, associations or field stars. We subsequently examined the literature and assigned each star as Field, Association, or Cluster.

Our vsini results are consistent with a difference in aggregate vsini with stellar density. We fit bimodal Maxwellian distributions to the Field, Association, and Cluster subsamples representing sharp-lined and broad-lined components. The first two distributions, in particular, for the Field and Association are consistent with strong bimodality in vsini.

Radial velocities are also presented, which are useful for further studies of binarity in B-type stars, and we also identify a sample of possible new double-lined spectroscopic binaries. In addition, we find 18 candidate Be stars showing emission at H{alpha}.
