Circumstellar shells in the young cluster NGC 2264. II - Infrared and further optical observations.

Flux measurements at 1.6, 2.2, and 3.4 microns for 42 stars in the young cluster NGC 2264 suggest that a significant number of these stars are surrounded by circumstellar material which produces observable infrared excesses. Hydrogen line profiles are used to estimate surface gravities and thereby to predict visual luminosities for a number of pre-main-sequence A stars. Those stars which appear faintest as compared with their predicted luminosities all have infrared excesses.

The blue stars above the turn-off in M67 - Horizontal branch or blue stragglers.

The nature of the pseudohorizontal branch in the galactic cluster M67 is investigated. A differential technique is used to determine the masses of these stars relative both to the turnoff-point stars and to the zero-age main sequence. The results obtained suggest that the pseudohorizontal-branch stars are analogs of the blue stragglers found in other galactic clusters.
