Near- and Mid-Infrared Photometry of the Pleiades and a New List of Substellar Candidate Members
We make use of new near- and mid-IR photometry of the Pleiades clusterin order to help identify proposed cluster members. We also use the newphotometry with previously published photometry to define thesingle-star main-sequence locus at the age of the Pleiades in a varietyof color-magnitude planes. The new near- and mid-IR photometry extendeffectively 2 mag deeper than the 2MASS All-Sky Point Source catalog,and hence allow us to select a new set of candidate very low-mass andsubstellar mass members of the Pleiades in the central square degree ofthe cluster. We identify 42 new candidate members fainter thanKs=14 (corresponding to 0.1 Msolar). Thesecandidate members should eventually allow a better estimate of thecluster mass function to be made down to of order 0.04Msolar. We also use new IRAC data, in particular the imagesobtained at 8 ?m, in order to comment briefly on interstellar dust inand near the Pleiades. We confirm, as expected, that-with oneexception-a sample of low-mass stars recently identified as having 24?m excesses due to debris disks do not have significant excesses atIRAC wavelengths. However, evidence is also presented that several ofthe Pleiades high-mass stars are found to be impacting with localcondensations of the molecular cloud that is passing through thePleiades at the current epoch.This work is based (in part) on observations made with the Spitzer SpaceTelescope, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,California Institute of Technology, under NASA contract 1407.This publication makes use of data products from the Two Micron All SkySurvey, which is a joint project of the University of Massachusetts andthe Infrared Processing and Analysis Center/California Institute ofTechnology, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administrationand the National Science Foundation.

| The rotational velocity of low-mass stars in the Pleiades cluster
We present new {vsin i} measurements for 235 low-mass stars in thePleiades. The differential rotational broadening has been resolved forall the stars in our sample. These results, combined with previouslypublished measurements, provide a complete and unbiased rotation dataset for stars in the mass range from 0.6 to 1.2{Msun}.Applying a numerical inversion technique on the {vsin i} distributions,we derive the distributions of equatorial velocities for low-massPleiades members. We find that half of the Pleiades dwarfs with a massbetween 0.6 to 1 {Msun} have rotation rates lower than 10{ kms(-1) }. Comparison of the rotational distributions of low-mass membersbetween IC 2602/2391 (~ 35 Myr) and the Pleiades (~ 100 Myr) suggeststhat G dwarfs behave like solid-bodies and follow Skumanich's law duringthis time span. However, comparison between Pleiades and older clusters-M34 (~ 200 Myr) and Hyades (~ 600 Myr)- indicates that the braking ofslow rotators on the early main sequence is weaker than predicted by anasymptotical Skumanich's law. This strongly supports the view thatangular momentum tapped in the radiative core of slow rotators on thezero age main sequence (ZAMS) resurfaces into the convective envelopebetween Pleiades and Hyades age. For the G-dwarfs, we derive acharacteristic coupling time scale between the core and the envelope ofabout 100-200 Myr, which accounts for the observed evolution of surfacerotation from the ZAMS to the Hyades. The relationship between rotationand coronal activity in the Pleiades is in agreement with previousobservations in other clusters and field stars. We show that the Rossbydiagram provides an excellent description of the X-ray activity for allstars in the mass domain studied. The Pleiades data for slow andmoderate rotators fills the gap between the X-ray-rotation correlationfound for slow rotators and the X-ray ``saturation plateau'' observedfor young fast rotators. The transition between increasing X-ray fluxwith rotation and X-ray saturation is observed at log (P/tau)=0.8+/-0.1. These results strengthen the hypothesis that the``saturation'' of the angular momentum loss process depends on thestellar mass.

| Rotation and chromospheric emission among F, G, and K dwarfs of the Pleiades
High-resolution echelle spectra of more than 100 F, G, and K dwarfs inthe Pleiades are reported. Chromospheric activity in these stars ismeasured via comparisons of the profiles of H-alpha and the Ca II IRtriplet to chromospherically inactive field stars. Consistent dereddenedcolors are determined from the available photometry and temperatures arederived. Most G and K dwarfs in the Pleiades rotate slowly, but about 20percent of the stars are ultrafast rotators (UFRs). That fraction ofUFRs is independent of color, and the highest rotation rates are foundamong the K dwarfs. The Pleiades exhibit a broad range in the strengthof chromospheric emission at any one color. Most G and K dwarfs in thePleiades show H-alpha and the IR triple in absorption, with filling inof the line cores.
| Investigation of the Pleiades cluster. I - Radial velocities of corona stars
Coravel radial velocities of 83 stars ranging in spectral types from F5to K0 selected frozen van Leeuwen's et al. (1986) survey of the coronaof the Pleiades show that only 56 are actually members. Sixspectroscopic binaries among the members and two among the nonmembershave been found. The large extent of the cluster over the sky alsoinduces a radial-velocity gradient from which a convergent point hasbeen determined. Since the cluster's depth is so large, the width of themain sequence is increased. The present results lead to a star densityof 1.1 stars per sq deg for r between 2.5 and 3.5 deg. However, westress that this is only a preliminary result, since the sample of starsin the corona is incomplete.
| UBVRI photometry of G, K, M HIPPARCOS stars
UBVRI data are presented for a set of 229 late-type stars, most of thembeing high proper motion stars. All these data are part of the InputCatalog planned observations for the Hipparcos mission.
| A VBLUW photometric survey of the Pleiades cluster
Photometric data are presented for 390 known or suspected members of thePleiades cluster. The data were obtained in 1979 at ESO using theWalraven VBLUW photometer and the Dutch 91-cm telescope. A comparisonwas made with subsets obtained with the same telescope andinstrumentation at the former Leiden Southern Station at the SAAO annexduring 1976 and 1977, and with data obtained at ESO during 1980 and1981. The much improved performance of the telescope and the photometerat their new site is obvious from these comparisons. The stars measuredcomprise the selection of possible members by Hertzsprung (1947)brighter than m(pg) = 14.5 and a selection of possible members in theouter region of the cluster by Pels et al. (1975). Of the starsselected, 66 were found not to be members. A few of these are possiblyescaping members. The present data set provides a well determined mainsequence over the range K2V to B9V, as well as data on some of theprobably premain-sequence K2-to-K5 and postmain-sequence B8-to-B6 stars.Finding charts for the stars selected by Pels are presented in anappendix.
