Photoelectric aperture-photometry ofω Cen inU, B, V, R andI bands has established that the cluster is bluer between 2 arcmin and 4 arcmin from the centre, than it is elsewhere. The
difference inB - I colour between the centre and this blue zone is ≃ 0.45 mag. The core radius is found to be dependant on the wavelength band
chosen for observation, the smallest core radius being for theI band. Equidensitometry ofω Cen inB, V and infrared bands shows a wavelength dependence with the cluster being nearly spherical in the infrared band. It shows a
maximum ellipticity around 3 arcmin from the cluster centre. The blue contribution in this zone comes from both a diffuse
background of unresolved stars and an increase in the relative abundance of horizontal branch (HB) stars. The similarity between
the diffuse background and the HB stars has been demonstrated. A photographic subtraction technique is used to study the distribution
of HB stars in the cluster.
Results of equidensitometry of the cluster 47 Tuc, obtained in the present study, are compared with the earlier results of
photoelectric photometry. Here too an increase in ellipticity is associated with an increase in the blueness of the cluster.
All globular clusters studied so far for ellipticity show a similarity in the dependence of the ellipticity on the distance
from the centre. The ellipticity has small values near the centre and in the outer regions, with the maximum value in between.
We suggest that the red stars in globular clusters have a nearly spherical distribution. The blue stars form a bulge around
the core with a more elliptical distribution and a different orientation. A similarity between the ellipticity aspects of
both the globular clusters and rotation in the nucleus of M 31 is pointed out; the M 31 nucleus may thus show a bluer colour
and smaller UV excess around the region where the rotation curve shows a peak.

We carried out optical and Hα photometry of two contact binaries (V861 Herculis, EQ Tauri). The light curve modeling revealed stellar spots in both contact systems and strong Hα excess in the position of the observed stellar spots. A correlation was found between the V−R and R−Hα colour indices of V861 Her. 相似文献

We present broad bandR and narrow band Hα emission line images of a sample of optically selected starburst galaxies from the Markarian lists. The
emission line morphology is studied and global properties like luminosities, equivalent widths and star formation rates are
derived. The radial distribution of Ha flux and the EW are determined using concentric aperture photometry on the emission
line and the continuum images. Ha flux is generally found to peak in the nuclear region and fall off outwards. The EW is found
to peak off-center in most of the cases implying that though the intensity of emission is maximum at the nucleus, the star
formation activity relative to the underlying continuum often peaks away from the center in Markarian starburst galaxies. 相似文献

Accurate surface photometry has been obtained inJ andK for 12 giant elliptical galaxies. Ellipses have been fitted, to obtain luminosity, ellipticity, and major axis position angle profiles. The results have been combined with visual profiles from CCD observations. We find that elliptical galaxies become bluer inV - K on the average by 0.3 (mag/sq xr
e) going outward from the nucleus. Radial colour gradients inV - K correlate strongly with those inU - V andB - V. By modelling, using theoretical isochrones, it is found that the observed colour gradients can be explained by a gradient in metallicity, if in addition the proportion of hot stars rises very rapidly with decreasing metallicity. 相似文献

We present B, V and R band CCD images of the dwarf galaxy LGS-3 (Pisces dwarf). About 180 stars and diffuse objects were found and processed in these frames. The colour-magnitude diagram shows a prominent red giant branch and a few blue stars only. Details of the morphological properties and colour-agnitude diagram indicate to an intermediate (between dIrr and dSph) type of LGS-3. We estimate the galaxy distance modulus to be about (m - M)0 = 23.9 ± 0.3 mag on the basis of the tip of the red giant branch. We measured the galaxy colour to be about B–V = 0.8 mag and the linear diameter 700 pc, which is the smallest one in the Local group. 相似文献

We present the results from CCD photometry in theV, R andI bands, of the ‘Dipper Asterism’ region of the open cluster M67 based on observations carried out at the prime focus of the
2.3 m Vainu Bappu Telescope of the Vainu Bappu Observatory, Kavalur. The CCD parameters like the system gain and the readout
noise are measured using several flatfield frames taken through the standardI filter. The CCD chip is calibrated using the photometric standards in the field and linear colour transformation relations
are derived. Also a few newVRI photometric measurements are reported for the members of the cluster. 相似文献

Photoelectric observations of the RS CVn type non-eclipsing binary UX Arietis obtained at Nizamiah Observatory during the
observing seasons of 1975–76, 1981–82 and 1982–83 are presented. The light curve of UX Ari showed a distortion wave with an
amplitude inV varying from 0.02 mag during 1975–76 to 0.15 mag during 1982–83. An analysis of the available data shows that the light maximum
is almost constant. It is also evident that the light-curve minimum decreases as the wave amplitude increases. The constant
light at maximum,V = 6.51 ± 0.03 indicates the unspotted photospheric brightness. It is also suggested that the variation in meanV brightness is mainly due to spot activity and not due to intrinsic variation. 相似文献

bdAbstract The open cluster NGC 2818 containing a planetary nebula has been observed inVRI bands using the CCD system at prime focus of the 2.3-metre Vainu Bappu Telescope. The study extending to starsV ∼ 21 magnitude establishes the distance modulus as(m-M)
0 = 12.9 ±0.1 for the cluster. Based on the fitting of theoretical isochrones computed for solar metallicity, an age of 5(±1)
× 108 years has been assigned to the cluster. Association of the planetary nebula with the cluster indicates that the progenitor
mass of the planetary nebula on the main sequence is ≥2.5M⊙

We use optical and infrared imaging data of a complete hard X-ray selected sample of AGN to investigate the host galaxies of nearby Seyfert 1 nuclei. We disentangle the emission due to the unresolved point source and the resolved host galaxy by means of luminosity profile fitting. The stellar colours in the nucleus are redder inB — V andV — K than in normal spiral bulges or current stellar evolutionary models, probably due to dust obscuration.J — H colour is quite normal butH — K usually very red, probably indicating a large contribution from reradiating hot dust to the IR colours. No significant difference in IR colours oi the stellar component is found with respect to a comparison sample of Liners and starbursts, except that the reradiating dust in Seyferts tends to be hotter and lie closer to the nucleus.B — V colour gets slightly bluer towards the nucleus, whereasV — K andJ — K have red gradients.B — V andJ — K gradients are not correlated and are likely to be caused by different mechanisms. There is a clear correlation between the AGN and host luminosity. Finally, we present optical colour ratio maps of two Seyfert nuclei, NGC 3227 and NGC 7469. The blue, ringlike or elongated structure in the maps and its correspondence with molecular CO geometry is interpreted as evidence for circumnuclear star formation in these AGN. 相似文献

Coudé spectra taken in the red region of 49 bright B and Be stars were examined for the behaviour of Hα and the He I λλ 5876
and 6678 line profiles. 51 per cent of the stars were found to show Hα emission to some degree and 22 per cent showed helium
emission. Evidence is presented for the existence of drastic changes in the line profile and the radial velocity in some of
the stars on a time scale of fractions of a day.

Analysis of the available observational data for the α-Persei cluster members shows that rotation effects on the intermediate-band
indices c1 and (u-b) are considerable. In c1, rotation produces a reddening of 0.040 magnitudes per 100 km s-1 In (u-b) the effect for B stars is found to be 0.06 magnitudes per 100 km s-1 ofV sin i.
The binaries and peculiar stars are found to behave differently in the colour excess (due to rotation) versusV sin i diagrams. These empirical effects can be utilised to recalibrate these colour indices and also to separate members
that are either chemically peculiar or in binary systems. 相似文献

Radial velocities are given for some 900 stars within 15‡ of the North Galactic Pole, including almost all such stars classified
G5 or later in theHenry Draper Catalogue. Luminosities, two-dimensional spectral classes, composition indices, and distances are derived for the majority of the sample
throughDDO andBV photometry. More than half of the stars are classified as G5-K5 giants: they show a clear relationship between composition
and velocity dispersion for the two Galactic componentsV andW, and a less well-defined trend forU. Four abundance groups exhibit characteristics which imply association with, respectively, the thick disk, old thin disk,
young thin disk, and Roman’s “4150” group. The sample is contained within l kpc of the Galactic plane, and no trends with
distance are evident. 相似文献

Photometric observations of EX Hya inB andVfilters are reported. The 67 min modulation of the light curve also is found to be in good agreement with the results of earlier studies. The (B-V) colour variation with respect to the 67 min variation is found to be opposite to those of typical colour variation during hump/superhump activity in other dwarf novae. The model of an intermediate polar is discussed. 相似文献

The solar observational facilities at ARIES (erstwhile U.P. State Observatory, UPSO), Nainital, began in the sixties with
the acquisition of two moderate sized (25 cm, f/66 off-axis Skew Cassegrain and 15 cm, f/15 refractor) telescopes. Both these
systems receive sunlight through a 45 cm and 25 cm coelostat respectively. The backend instruments to these systems comprised
of a single pass grating spectrograph for spectroscopic study of the Sun and a Bernhard-HalleHα filter, coupled with a Robot recorder camera for solar patrolling inHα respectively. With the advancement in solar observing techniques with high temporal and spatial resolution inHα and other wavelengths, it became inevitable to acquire sophisticated instrumentation for data acquisition. In view of that,
the above facilities were upgraded, owing to which the conventional photographic techniques were replaced by the CCD camera
systems attached with two 15 cm, f/15 Coude refractor telescopes. These CCD systems include the Peltier cooled CCD camera
and photometrics PXL high speed modular CCD camera which provide high temporal and spatial resolution of ∼ 25 ms and ∼ 1.3
arcsec respectively. 相似文献

Counterstreaming in a Large Polar Crown Filament 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The motion of small-scale structures is well resolved in high-resolution filament images that were observed on 19 June 1998
with the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope, La Palma. The filament was between 80 000 and 100 000 km high. The study is based
on two hours of narrow-band observations at three wavelength positions in Hα. Velocities along the line of sight and in the
transverse direction, respectively, V
los and V
tr, were measured for a large number of individual small-scale filament structures. Small features are all moving along nearly
parallel threads, some in one direction along the threads and the remainder in the other direction, a pattern of motion known
as counterstreaming. The net flow velocities in the two directions are about 8 km s−1 and both are tilted by an angle δ≃16° relative to the plane of the sky. This angle is less than expected, by factors between
2.0 and 2.5, relative to the local horizontal plane. We believe that V
los is underestimated by these factors due to a line-shift reducing effect by the underlying Hα absorption line of the chromosphere.

High dispersion CCD spectra are used to study the profiles of the Hα and Hβ lines of 48 stars in early spectral classes in
the young diffuse binary cluster h/χ Per. In addition, moderate resolution spectra of 15 B and Be stars were taken over the
interval 4400–4960 Å. One or, possibly, two new Be stars are discovered. The major parameters of the Hα line are measured
for the observed B and Be stars. The spectra over 4400–4960 Å are used to estimate Teff, logg, and υsin i. No traces of emission are detected in the Hα line profiles for 28 of the stars and emission is observed in the Hα line
for 20. During our observations an absorption profile of the Hα line was observed for some of the stars, such as Oo146, Oo566,
Oo922, and Oo1268, although they have previously been identified as Be stars. A significant long-term variability of the Hα
line is discovered for the Be stars Oo1161 and Oo2242. Oo2371 manifests a variability in its faint emission spectrum which
is typical of close binary systems that include a Be star.
