Spectroscopic orbits for three SB2s and one hierarchical triple using SALT data

We confirmed four spectroscopic binary candidates using new observations obtained with SALT. Three SB2 systems (HD 20784, HD 43519A, HD 62153A) exhibit circular orbits with periods shorter than 10 days, whereas one hierarchical triple system (HD 56024) contains a close binary with an inner eccentric orbit with a period of approximately 14 days, composed of nearly identical stellar components, and a rapidly rotating star on an outer eccentric orbit with a period of approximately 400 days. For two additional SB2 candidates (HD 198174 and HD 208433), our new observations do not allow us to derive reliable orbital solutions.

Verification of Photometric Parallaxes with Gaia DR2 Data

Results of comparison of Gaia DR2 parallaxes with data derived from a combined analysis of 2MASS (Two Micron All-Sky Survey), SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey), GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer), and UKIDSS (UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey) surveys in four selected high-latitude $|b|>48^{\circ}$ sky areas are presented. It is shown that multicolor photometric data from large modern surveys can be used for parameterization of stars closer than 4400 pc and brighter than $g_{SDSS} = 19.^m6$, including estimation of parallax and interstellar extinction value. However, the stellar luminosity class should be properly determined.
