Photometric light curves for ten rapidly rotating stars in Alpha Persei, the Pleiades, and the field

We present the results from a photometric monitoring program of ten rapidly rotating stars observed during 1991 using the FLWO 48-in. telescope. Brightness variations for an additional six cluster stars observed with the Lick 40-in. telescope are also given. The periods and light curves for seven Alpha Persei members, two Pleiades members, and one naked T Tauri field star are reported.

The velocity-distance relation for galaxies on a bubble

The characteristic diameter of the most prominent void in the redshift survey of de Lapparent et al. (1986) is measured. Distances and peculiar velocities to individual galaxies are derived, and it is shown that the void is approximately a 'Hubble Bubble' in which the near and far edges are separating with the general expansion of the universe. At the 3 sigma level, infall toward the Coma cluster is detected for a portion of the bubble wall. Limits on the net outflow from the void and infall into Coma are used to estimate Omega.
