We report the results of study of the A1569 cluster (12
h
36m.3, +16°35′) and the neighboring A1589 cluster (12
h
41m.3, +18°34′), making up a pair (a supercluster) with a projected size of about 10Mpc. This study is done within the framework
of our program for investigating the galaxy clusters with bimodal velocity distributions (i.e., clusters where the velocities
of subsystems differ by more than Δcz ∼ 3000 km/s). In the A1569 cluster we have identified two subsystems: A1569A (cz = 20613 km/s) and A1569B (cz = 23783 km/s). These subsystems have the line-of-sight velocity dispersions of 484 km/s and 493 km/s, and dynamic masses
within the R
200 radius equal to 1.8 × 1014 and 2.0 × 1014
M
⊙, respectively. We directly estimate the distances to these subsystems using three methods applied to earlytype galaxies:
the Kormendy relation, photometric plane, and fundamental plane. To this end, we use the results of our observations made
with the 1-m telescope of the SAO RAS and the data adopted from the SDSS DR7 catalog. We found that A1569 consists of two
independent clusters. The A1569B cluster is located at the Hubble distance corresponding to its radial velocity. The A1569A
cluster has a peculiar velocity of −1290 ± 630 km/s, which can be explained by the effect of the more massive A1589 cluster
(with a mass of 7.9 × 1014
M
⊙) and of the supercluster where it resides. In all the four bimodal clusters that we studied within the framework of our program,
A1035, A1775, A1831, and A1569, the subsystems are independent clusters lying close to the Hubble relation between redshift
and distance. 相似文献

The integrated magnitudes of 221 Galactic open clusters have been used to derive the luminosity function. The completeness
of the data has also been discussed. In the luminosity distribution the maximum frequency of clusters occurs nearI (Mv) = −3

is not purely due to selection effects. The surface density of the clusters for different magnitude intervals has. been obtained
using the completeness radius estimated from the logN- logd plots. A relation betweenI (Mv) and surface density has been obtained which yields a steeper slope than that obtained by van den Bergh & Lafontaine (1984). 相似文献

A reanalysis of the (seemingly very distant) open cluster Shorlin 1, the group of stars associated with WR 38 and WR 38a,
is made on the basis of existing UBV and JHK
s observations for cluster members. The 2MASS observations, in particular, imply a mean cluster reddening of E
B−V
=1.45±0.07 and a distance of 2.94±0.12 kpc. The reddening agrees with the UBV results provided that the local reddening slope is described by E
U−B

B−V
=0.64±0.01, but the distance estimates in the 2MASS and UBV systems agree only if the ratio of total-to-selective extinction for the associated dust is R=A
V
/E
B−V
=4.0±0.1. Both results are similar to what has been obtained for adjacent clusters in the Eta Carinae region by similar analyses,
which suggests that “anomalous” dust extinction is widespread through the region, particularly for groups reddened by relatively
nearby dust. Dust associated with the Eta Carinae complex itself appears to exhibit more “normal” qualities. The results have
direct implications for the interpretation of distances to optical spiral arm indicators for the Galaxy at ℓ=287°–291°, in particular the Carina arm here is probably little more than ∼2 kpc distant, rather than 2.5–3 kpc distant as
implied in previous studies. Newly-derived intrinsic parameters for the two cluster Wolf-Rayet stars WR 38 (WC4) and WR 38a
(WN5) are in good agreement with what is found for other WR stars in Galactic open clusters, which was not the case previously. 相似文献

Based on data for 102 OB3 stars with known proper motions and radial velocities, we have tested the distances derived by Megier
et al. from interstellar Ca II spectral lines. The internal reconciliation of the distance scales using the first derivative
of the angular velocity of Galactic rotation Ω′0 and the external reconciliation with Humphreys’s distance scale for OB associations refined by Mel’nik and Dambis show that
the initial distances should be reduced by ≈20%. Given this correction, the heliocentric distances of these stars lie within
the range 0.6–2.6 kpc. A kinematic analysis of these stars at a fixed Galactocentric distance of the Sun, R
0 = 8 kpc, has allowed the following parameters to be determined: (1) the solar peculiar velocity components (u

We analyze the properties of galaxy clusters in the region of the Leo supercluster using observational data from the SDSS
and 2MASS catalogs. We have selected 14 galaxy clusters with a total dynamical mass of 1.77 × 1015
M
⊙ in the supercluster region 130 by 60 Mpc in the plane of the sky (z ≃ 0.037). The composite luminosity function of the supercluster is described by a Schechter function with parameters that,
within the error limits, correspond to field galaxies and does not differ from the luminosity function of the richer Ursa
Major (UMa) supercluster for the same luminosity range (the bright end). The luminosity functions of early-type and late-type
galaxies in Leo at the faint end are characterized by a sharp decrease (α = −0.60±0.08) and a steep increase (α = −1.44± 0.10) in the number of galaxies, respectively. In the virialized cluster regions, the fraction of early-type galaxies
selected by the u-r color, bulge contribution, and concentration index among the galaxies brighter than M
K
* + 1 is, on average, 62%. This fraction is smaller than that in the UMa supercluster at a 2–3σ level. The near-infrared luminosities of galaxy clusters down to a fixed absolute magnitude correlate with their masses almost
in the same way as for other samples of galaxy clusters (L

Based on a new version of the Hipparcos catalog and currently available radial velocity data, we have searched for stars that
either have encountered or will encounter the solar neighborhood within less than 3 pc in the time interval from −2 Myr to
+2 Myr. Nine new candidates within 30 pc of the Sun have been found. To construct the stellar orbits relative to the solar
orbit, we have used the epicyclic approximation. We show that, given the errors in the observational data, the probability
that the well-known star HIP 89 825 (GL 710) encountering with the Sun most closely falls into the Oort cloud is 0.86 in the
time interval 1.45 ± 0.06 Myr. This star also has a nonzero probability, 1 × 10−4, of falling into the region d < 1000 AU, where its influence on Kuiper Belt objects becomes possible. 相似文献

Summary In this paper the results of the research of the stars proper motions Trapezium components are reported. They are: the galactic
coordinates of the solar aprx and the Sun velocity (L
⊙=43±18°,B
⊙=+28±13°,V
⊙=13±4 km s−1), the dispersion of peculiar velocities in the direction of the galactic coordinates for the above mentioned stars (σ
l
=±11 km s−1, σ
b
=±7 km s−1).The attained accuracy of the proper motions (±0.005″ yr−1) is shown to be insufficient to the study of internal space motions in these systems. At present the work to increase the
relative proper motions accuracy for multiple system components and to improve reductions from the relative to absolute proper
motions, is being carried out in the Main Astronomical Observatory (Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR). The new catalogue
of the AGK3 stars is composed now in the vicinity of the galactic equator in order to improve reductions from the relative
to absolute proper motions. The r.m.s. errors of the proper motions, obtained in the AGK3 system, are ±0.005″ yr−1. 相似文献

Using the Hewitt-Burbidge QSO Catalogue (1993) and all-sky catalogue of Abell clusters (ACO, 1989) at the region |b| > 40° we analyze the cross correlation function and find anti-correlation between them at angular separations 3° < θ < 10° , which is mainly caused by optical-selected QSOs, rather than radio-selected QSOs. There is no such anti-correlation between
QSOs and Abell clusters at smaller separations θ < 3°. Considering that this phenomenon may be caused by different characters of the objects, we further estimate the correlation
function with various subsamples. We find that the correlation is independent of the redshift of QSOs, but depends upon the
type of Abell clusters: for the D ≤ 4 clusters there is an obvious tendency of overdensity of quasars at 0° < θ < 5°; around the R ≥ 2 Abell clusters there is about an 18.7% deficit of quasars in the region 3° < θ < 7°. K-S Test shows the overdensity or deficit of quasars around different types of clusters cannot be explained by the projection
effect of background quasars. We get the enhancement factor of quasar overdensity (for D ≤ 4 clusters) q =1.13, and the extinction magnitude factor of QSO deficiency (for R ≥ 2 clusters) Av= 0.14.

The absolute proper motions of about 275 million stars from the Kharkov XPM catalog have been obtained by comparing their
positions in the 2MASS and USNO-A2.0 catalogs with an epoch difference of about 45 yr for northern-hemisphere stars and about
17 yr for southern-hemisphere stars. The zero point of the system of absolute proper motions has been determined using 1.45
million galaxies. The equatorial components of the residual rotation vector of the ICRS/UCAC2 coordinate system relative to
the system of extragalactic sources have been determined by comparing the XPM and UCAC2 stellar proper motions: ω
x,y,z = (−0.06, 0.17, −0.84) ± (0.15, 0.14, 0.14) mas yr−1. These parameters have been calculated using about 1 million faintest UCAC2 stars with magnitudes R

We present two new luminous blue variable (LBV) candidate stars discovered in the M33 galaxy. We identified these stars as
massive star candidates at the final stages of evolution, presumably with a notable interstellar extinction. The candidates
were selected from the Massey et al. catalog based on the following criteria: emission in H
α
, V<18./m 5 and 0.m 35 < (B - V) < 1.m 2. The spectra of both stars reveal a broad and strong H
α
emission with extended wings (770 and 1000 kms−1). Based on the spectra we estimated the main parameters of the stars. Object N45901 has a bolometric luminosity log(L/L⊙) = 6.0–6.2 with the value of interstellar extinction A
V
= 2.3 ± 0.1. The temperature of the star’s photosphere is estimated as T⋆ ∼ 13000–15000 K, its probable mass on the Zero
Age Main Sequence is M∼ 60–80 M⊙. The infrared excess in N 45901 corresponds to the emission of warm dust with the temperature Twarm ∼ 1000 K, and amounts
to 0.1%of the bolometric luminosity. A comparison of stellar magnitude estimates from different catalogs points to the probable
variability of the object N45901. Bolometric luminosity of the second object, N125093, is log(L/L⊙) = 6.3 − 6.6, the value of interstellar extinction is A
V
= 2.75 ± 0.15. We estimate its photosphere’s temperature as T⋆∼ 13000–16000K, the initial mass as M ∼ 90–120 M⊙. The infrared excess in N125093 amounts to 5–6% of the bolometric luminosity. Its spectral energy distribution reveals two
thermal components with the temperatures Twarm ∼ 1000K and Tcold ∼ 480 K. The [Ca II] λλ7291, 7323 lines, observed in LBV-like stars Var A and N93351 in M33 are also present in the spectrum of N 125093. These lines
indicate relatively recent gas eruptions and dust activity linked with them. High bolometric luminosity of these stars and
broad H
α emissions allow classifying the studied objects as LBV candidates. 相似文献

The study of X-ray clusters of galaxies, started 30 years ago, has revealed an increasing complexity in the thermodynamics
of the X-ray emitting intracluster medium (ICM) as long as the sensitivity and the resolution of the X-ray satellites increased.
At the same time, deep surveysdetected several, unexpected, high-z clusters. Here we focus on the Chandra observations of the most distant X-ray selected clusters (0.3 < z < 1.3), in order to constrain their thermodynamic evolution. The X-ray scaling properties show hints of negative evolution
in the luminosity–temperature and M
gas–temperature relations, and a positive evolution in the entropy–temperature relation. We find that the mean iron abundance
at 〈z〉 = 0.8 is Z

is reached before the strange dwarf attains its maximum mass. Although the frequency of the radial pulsations in the fundamental
mode obeys ω02 > 0 for these configurations, they are unstable with respect to transitions into a strange star state with the same total
number of baryons and a radius on the order of that of neutron stars. An energy on the order of the energy in a supernova
explosion is released during these transitions. It is shown that the gravitational red shift of white and strange dwarfs are
substantially different for low and limiting (high) masses. 相似文献

In the present investigation we measure the differential rotation of strong magnetic flux during solar cycles 21 – 23 with
the method of wavelet transforms. We find that the cycle-averaged synodic rotation rate of strong magnetic flux can be written
as ω=13.47−2.58sin 2
θ or ω=13.45−2.06sin 2
θ−1.37sin 4
θ, where θ is the latitude. They agree well with the results derived from sunspots. A north–south asymmetry of the rotation rate is
found at high latitudes (28°<θ<40°). The strong flux in the southern hemisphere rotates faster than that in the northern hemisphere by 0.2 deg day−1. The asymmetry continued for cycles 21 – 23 and may be a secular property. 相似文献

We analyze the three-dimensional kinematics of about 82 000 Tycho-2 stars belonging to the red giant clump (RGC). First, based
on all of the currently available data, we have determined new, most probable components of the residual rotation vector of
the optical realization of the ICRS/HIPPARCOS system relative to an inertial frame of reference, (ω
x
, ω
y
, ω
z
) = (−0.11, 0.24, −0.52) ± (0.14, 0.10, 0.16) mas yr−1. The stellar proper motions in the form μα cos δ have then be corrected by applying the correction ω
z
= −0.52 mas yr−1. We show that, apart from their involvement in the general Galactic rotation described by the Oort constants A = 15.82 ± 0.21 km s−1 kpc−1 and B = −10.87 ± 0.15 km s−1 kpc−1, the RGC stars have kinematic peculiarities in the Galactic yz plane related to the kinematics of the warped stellar-gaseous Galactic disk. We show that the parameters of the linear Ogorodnikov-Milne
model that describe the kinematics of RGC stars in the zx plane do not differ significantly from zero. The situation in the yz plane is different. For example, the component of the solid-body rotation vector of the local solar neighborhood around the
Galactic x axis is M
32− = −2.6 ± 0.2 km s−1 kpc−1. Two parameters of the deformation tensor in this plane, namely M
23+ = 1.0 ± 0.2 km s−1 kpc−1 and M
33 − M
22 = −1.3 ± 0.4 km s−1 kpc−1, also differ significantly from zero. On the whole, the kinematics of the warped stellar-gaseous Galactic disk in the local
solar neighborhood can be described as a rotation around the Galactic x axis (close to the line of nodes of this structure) with an angular velocity −3.1 ± 0.5 km s−1 kpc−1 ≤ ΩW ≤ −4.4 ± 0.5 km s−1 kpc−1. 相似文献

To study the quantitative relationship between the brightness of the coronal green line 530.5 nm Fe xiv and the strength of the magnetic field in the corona, we have calculated the cross-correlation of the corresponding synoptic
maps for the period 1977 – 2001. The maps of distribution of the green-line brightness I were plotted using every-day monitoring data. The maps of the magnetic field strength B and the tangential B
t and radial B
r field components at the distance 1.1 R
⊙ were calculated under potential approximation from the Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO) photospheric data. It is shown that
the correlation I with the field and its components calculated separately for the sunspot formation zone ±30° and the zone 40 – 70° has a cyclic
character, the corresponding correlation coefficients in these zones changing in anti-phase. In the sunspot formation zone,
all three coefficients are positive and have the greatest values near the cycle minimum decreasing significantly by the maximum.
Above 40°, the coefficients are alternating in sign and reach the greatest positive values at the maximum and the greatest
negative values, at the minimum of the cycle. It is inferred that the green-line emission in the zone ±30° is mainly controlled
by B
t, probably due to the existence of low arch systems. In the high-latitude zone, particularly at the minimum of the cycle,
an essential influence is exerted by B
r, which may be a manifestation of the dominant role of large-scale magnetic fields. Near the activity minimum, when the magnetic
field organization is relatively simple, the relation between I and B for the two latitudinal zones under consideration can be represented as a power-law function of the type I ∝ B
q. In the sunspot formation zone, the power index q is positive and varies from 0.75 to 1.00. In the zone 40 – 70°, it is negative and varies from −0.6 to −0.8. It is found
that there is a short time interval approximately at the middle of the ascending branch of the cycle, when the relationship
between I and B vanishes. The results obtained are considered in relation to various mechanisms of the corona heating. 相似文献

The peculiar galaxy NGC 4650 A (α=12h 42m. 1; = δ—40° 26′; 1950·0) has been studied by means of direct and spectral observations with the ESO 3·6-m telescope. It is
interpreted as a prolate, elliptical galaxy surrounded by a warped ring of H II regions, dust and stars. The distance is 47
Mpc (H
0=55 km s−1 Mpc−1). The ring is seen nearly edge-on (inclination 85°) and it rotates. It has a diameter of about 21 kpc and is bluer than the
elliptical galaxy for which the (M/L

Cataclysmic variables with outlying infrared magnitudes have been searched for in the USNO-B1.0 catalog. The sample was limited
to objects in the northern hemisphere with (B1−R1) < 1 and (R2−I) > 3.5. The search method is described, and individual stars are considered in detail. A total of 27 variable objects have
been found; 20 of them are previously known ones and 7 are new discoveries. Four of the newly found stars are cataclysmic
variables, most likely dwarf novae, while the remaining three objects are pulsating red Mira or semiregular variables, including
the heavily reddened star in the Pelican Nebula. The pulsation periods have been determined for two stars discovered previously
by other researchers. It has been confirmed that one suspected dwarf nova is actually such a star. Prospects for the proposed
search technique within the framework of the Virtual Observatory are discussed. 相似文献

A database combining information about solar proton enhancements (SPEs) near the Earth and soft X-ray flares (GOES measurements)
has been used for the study of different correlations through the period from 1975 to May 2006. The emphasis of this work
is on the treatment of peak-size distributions of SXR flares and SPEs. The frequency of SXR flares and solar proton events
(>10 and >100 MeV, respectively) for the past three solar cycles has been found to follow mainly a power-law distribution
over three to five orders of magnitude of fluxes, which is physically correct beyond the “sensitivity” problem with the smallest
peak values. The absence of significant spectral steepening in the domain of the highest peak values demonstrates that during
the period considered, lasting 30 years, the limit of the highest flare’s energy release has not yet been achieved. The power-law
exponents were found to be −2.19±0.04, −1.34±0.02, and −1.46±0.04, for the total SXR flare distribution and the total SPE
distributions (for both E
P>10 MeV and E
P>100 MeV), respectively. For SPEs associated with flares located to the West of 20° W, the exponents are −1.22±0.05 (E
P>10 MeV) and −1.26±0.03 (E
P>100 MeV). The size distribution for corresponding flares follows a power law with a slope of −1.29±0.12. Thus, X-ray and
proton fluxes produced in the same solar events have very similar distribution shapes. Moreover, the derived slopes are not
incompatible with a linear dependence between X-ray flare power and proton fluxes near the Earth. A similar statistical relation
is obtained independently from the direct comparison of the X-ray and proton fluxes. These all argue for a statistically significant
relationship between X-ray and proton emissions. 相似文献
