Abstract: For each $kgeq2$, we construct two families of surfaces with constant mean curvature $H$ for $Hin[0,1/2]$ in $Sigma(kappa)imesR$ where $kappa+4H^{2}leq0$. The surfaces are invariant under $2pi/k$-rotations about a vertical fiber of $Sigma(kappa)imesR$, have genus zero, and a finite number of ends. The first family generalizes the notion of $k$-noids: It has $k$ ends, one horizontal and $k$ vertical symmetry planes. The second family is less symmetric and has two types of ends. Each surface arises as the conjugate (sister) surface of a minimal graph in a homogeneous 3-manifold. The domain of the graph is non-convex in the second family. For $kappa=-1$ the surfaces with constant mean curvature $H$ arise from a minimal surface in $widetilde{PSL}_2(R)$ for $Hin(0,1/2)$ and in $Nil$ for H=1/2. For H=0, the conjugate surfaces are both minimal in a product space.
