We have investigated ROSAT X-ray data of OB stars to search for evidence of time variability in the X-ray emission from early-type stars. As an example for such studies we present a detailed variability analysis for our two program stars Ori and Ori which have been multiply observed with ROSAT. The long-term analysis of both stars now covers a time range of 2.5 years and includes six pointed PSPC observations, an additional pointed HRI observation of Ori and the ROSAT all-sky survey data of both stars. Over a long time range the X-ray light curves of Ori and Ori show no evidence for variability. In the case of Ori we detected a moderate increase in X-ray count rate during a period of 2 days which can be explained as a strong shock propagating in the wind of an O-type star.  相似文献

Following the discovery, by IRAS, of the dust disc around Vega and three other main sequence stars, searches have been made for other candidates. The-Pic-like candidates have 12µm excesses and 100µm fluxes (unlike the Vega-like candidates), so they can be further investigated using ground-based techniques. Data are presented here, comprising 10µm spectroscopy and sub-mm observations, for several candidates from the Walker & Wolstencroft list, showing that the stars have silicate dust, and optically thick dust discs even at 1300µm.  相似文献

We have detected 1.1 mm continuum emission from 24 of 53 Herbig Ae/Be stars surveyed with the JCMT. Survival analysis shows that 1.1 mm luminosity is correlated with bolometric luminosity and with IRAS 25µm luminosity. For those stars that were also detected at 0.45 or 0.8 mm we find a typical flux dependence of the form S #x03BD; 3, which is steeper than that of most classical T Tauri stars.  相似文献

The present observational status of the Sct stars, Dor stars and roAp stars is discussed. The Sct stars are the most intensively observed of the three groups, but it has become clear that there are severe problems in extracting asteroseismic information from them. Dozens of frequencies are observed, but hundreds of frequencies are predicted from the models; unique matches of observation and theory still elude us. The Sct stars are observationally complex – some recent `best case' campaigns are discussed. It is possible that substantial observational advances for Sct stars may need to await upcoming satellite missions. New Dor stars are beingdiscovered frequently, and new behaviour is being found for them. They constitutean observationally young field. Their pulsational frequency range is being expanded, their position in the HR diagram is becoming better known (but is yet to be fully constrained), and the possibility exists of hybrid Dor – Sct stars that have greatasteroseismic promise, although it is clear such stars are rare, if they do exist. It has been observationally challenging to extract more than a fewfrequencies for any Dor star so far. Exciting spectroscopic discoveries of new behaviour in roAp stars promise unprecedented information about the structure of the peculiar atmospheres ofthose stars – pulsation amplitude and phase in 3D, magnetic field structurein 3D, abundance stratification in 3D, realistic T- for the most peculiarstars – as well as entirely new information about the interaction of pulsation,rotation and magnetic fields. Recent theoretical work has led to new understandingof the previously inexplicable frequency spacing of HR 1217 with new Whole Earth Telescope observations supporting this theory. An `improved oblique pulsator model' has been developed in which the pulsationaxis is not the magnetic axis; this model has passed several observationaltests and new ones are being devised to examine it further.  相似文献

Models of Cen A & B have been computed using the masses determinedby Pourbaix et al. (2002) and the data derived from the spectroscopicanalysis of Neuforge and Magain (1997). The seismological dataobtained by Bouchy and Carrier (2001, 2002) do help improveour knowledge of the evolutionary status of the system. All the constraintsare satisfied with a model which gives an age of about 6 Gyr for the binary.  相似文献

We investigate the production of26Al during hydrogen burning and its ejection by massive single and binary stars. Effects of convection and rotation are studied. We discuss the importance of RSGs, LBVs and WR stars to the total Galactic26Al production, and the detection probability of the26Al decay in individual objects as P Cygni, Velorum and Carinae.  相似文献

The region around the Herbig Ae/Be star LkH198 was imaged at 10m with the CAMIRAS camera at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the Nordic Optical Telescope. We discovered a deeply embedded companion 6 north of LkH198, which may be responsible for most of the far-infrared emission in the region and for driving the molecular flow. LkH198 appears point-like at our resolution (FWHM 1.3), excluding an extended envelope of transiently heated small grains as the dominant origin of the mid-infrared excess in that star.  相似文献

We present time series observations of the intermediate mass Pre-Main Sequence star H254 belonging to the young star cluster IC 348 and of the Herbig Ae star V351 Ori.Both these stars present light variation on short time scale (a few hours) typical of the Scuti pulsation. The new data are briefly described together with the plan for future observational campaigns on PMS Scuti stars.  相似文献

It was shown that the orbit of Virginid meteors is an octuple Earth-crosser so that the stream can produce eight related meteor showers. Of these eight theoretical showers five are identified in the catalogues; one of these is the Cygnids.  相似文献

Using the ambiguity-free vertical current defined by Semel and Skumanich (1995) we derive a minimum-current azimuth disambiguation for the observed magnetic field in the active region NOAA 7201. A comparison of such a minimum-current azimuth resolution with those from other extant methods indicates that the resulting resolution, even though found to be limited by noise, is a useful first approximation. A comparison of our minimum current distribution with the currents we derive from an extant disambiguation (Lites et al., 1995) indicates the presence of current discontinuities in the form of linear features near the magnetic neutral line of the associated -spot.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is funded by the National Science Foundation  相似文献

Summary From the early discovery in 1948 of X-rays from the Solar corona, X-ray spectroscopy has proven to be an invaluable tool in studying hot astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. Because the emission line spectra and continua from optically thin plasmas are fairly well known, high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy has its most obvious application in the measurement of optically thin sources such as the coronae of stars. In particular X-ray observations with theEINSTEIN observatory have demonstrated that soft X-ray emitting coronae are a common feature among stars on the cool side of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, with the probable exception of single very cool giant and supergiant stars and A-type dwarfs. Observations with the spectrometers aboardEINSTEIN andEXOSAT have shown that data of even modest spectral resolution (/ = 10–100) permit the identification of coronal material at different temperatures whose existence may relate to a range of possible magnetic loop structures in the hot outer atmospheres of these stars. The higher spectral resolution of the next generation of spectrometers aboard NASA'sAXAF and ESA'sXMM will allow to fully resolve the coronal temperature structure and to enable velocity diagnostics and the determination of coronal densities, from which the loop geometry (i.e. surface filling factors and loop lengths) can be derived. In this paper various diagnostic techniques are reviewed and the spectral results fromEINSTEIN andEXOSAT are discussed. A number of spectral simulations forAXAF andXMM, especially high-resolution iron K-shell, L-shell, and2s-2p spectra in the wavelength regions around 1.9 Å, 10 Å, and 100 Å, respectively, are shown to demonstrate the capabilities for temperature, density, and velocity diagnostics. Finally, iron K-shell spectra are simulated for various types of detectors such as microcalorimeter, Nb-junction, and CCD.  相似文献

This paper examines the observational evidence for the detectionof gravity modes in Scuti stars, which are p-mode pulsators.Low-order gravity modes have also been found in at least one star (FG Vir).Some reports of gravity modes may be due to systematic errors in theabsolute magnitude calibrations for slowly rotating stars. Furthermore,many detected low frequencies are not high-order gravity modes, but linear combinations,f i -f j , of the main pulsation modes. Other low frequencies are caused bya close binary companion leading to tidal deformation as well as tidallyexcited gravity modes.  相似文献

We show that in evolved stars, even at relatively low surfaceamplitudes, nonradial modes become strongly nonlinear in thehydrogen shell source, where the Brunt-Väisälä frequency hasits absolute maximum. The measure of nonlinearity is the productof horizontal displacement times the radial wavenumber, . It becomes large already in evolved -Scuti stars.This nonlinearity presents a major problem for interpretations ofamplitude modulation in RR Lyrae stars in terms of nonradial modeexcitation.  相似文献

In this paper the extended H filtering algorithms for the design of the GPS-based on-board autonomous navigation system for a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite are introduced. The dynamic process models for the estimation of position, velocity and acceleration from the GPS measurements are established. The nominal orbit of the small LEO satellite is determined by using the 7th–8th order Runge—Kutta algorithms. Three filtering approaches are applied to smooth the orbit solutions, respectively, based upon the simulated GPS pseudo range observables using the Satellite Navigation Tool Box. The simulation shows that the observed orbit errors obtained by using the extended H filtering algorithms can be reduced to a lower level than the observed orbit errors in the sense of RMS within 12 h of tracking time by using the H filtering algorithms and the extended Kalman filtering algorithms under the appropriately designed parameters. Based upon the position errors predicted by the three filtering algorithms after the last observation, we find that the extended H filtering algorithm provides the least position errors of the user satellite.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

We briefly summarize the impact of protostellar evolution on the initialconditions of pre-main-sequence (PMS) contraction and identifytwo different kinds of instability in young stars closely connected to thePMS physical conditions. These are the Scuti type pulsations in intermediate-mass PMS stars (Herbig Ae stars) and the pulsation instability of brown dwarfs and very low mass stars. For the former, we review recentobservational and theoretical work and provide the location in the H-Rdiagram of known candidates. For the latter, the possibility that deuteriumcan be an efficient driving mechanism of the instability is explored.  相似文献

Results of photoelectric observations in the Strömgren system of the Herbig Ae/Be star LkH 215 are presented. It is found that this star undergoes bursts. Two types of bursts are observed. The amplitude of the first type of burst increases with decreasing wavelength. In the second type of burst, the brightness amplitude has a maximum in the V band.  相似文献

We present 9.7 and 11.8 m narrow band (/=10%) images of three carbon (C-) rich proto-planetary nebulae with an unusual 21 m feature: IRAS 07134+ 1005, IRAS 22272+5435, and IRAS 04296+3429. The images were taken at UKIRT using the Berkeley/IGPP/LEA mid-IR camera. All three objects have a bipolar shape adding to the existing evidence that C-rich PPNe are by nature bipolar. Furthermore, we find the same bipolar morphology in a previous study of the C-rich, young planetary nebula, IRAS 21282+5050. We believe these four objects form an evolutionary sequence which links the C-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with the C-rich planetary nebulae (PNe). From this evolutionary sequence, we conclude that bipolarity in C-rich PNe begins on the AGB and that the dynamical ages of these PPNe are in fair agreement with theoretical ages for a 0.6 M hydrogen burning core star.  相似文献

Our knowledge of the presence and the strength of magnetic fields in intermediate‐mass pre‐main‐sequence stars remains very poor. We present new magnetic field measurements in six Herbig Ae/Be stars observed with HARPS in spectropolarimetric mode. We downloaded from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) archive the publically available HARPS spectra for six Herbig Ae/Be stars. Wavelength shifts between right‐ and left‐hand side circularly polarised spectra were interpreted in terms of a longitudinal magnetic field 〈Bz〉, using the moment technique introduced by Mathys. The application of the moment technique to the HARPS spectra allowed us in addition to study the presence of the crossover effect and quadratic magnetic fields. Our search for longitudinal magnetic fields resulted in first detections of weak magnetic fields in the Herbig Ae/Be stars HD 58647 and HD 98922. Further, we confirm the previous tentative detection of a weak magnetic field in HD 104237 by Donati et al. and confirm the previous detection of a magnetic field in the Herbig Ae star HD 190073. Surprisingly, the measured longitudinal magnetic field of HD 190073, 〈Bz〉 = 91 ± 18 G at a significance level of 5σ is not in agreement with the measurement results of Alecian et al. (2013), 〈Bz〉 = –10 ± 20 G, who applied the LSD method to exactly the same data. No crossover effect was detected for any star in the sample. Only for HD 98922 the crossover effect was found tobe close to 3σ with a measured value of –4228 ± 1443 km s–1 G. A quadratic magnetic field of the order of 10 kG was detected in HD 98922, and of ∼3.5 kG in HD 104237. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献

Studies of the Herbig Ae/Be star V586 Ori based on photoelectric observations in the Strömgren system are reported. It is found that as the brightness decreases, the Balmer discontinuity index initially increases and then begins to drop. As the star fades, the index decreases. We have previously found similar variations in the indices and C for UX Ori, RR Tau, and V351 Ori. It is shown that V586 Ori has the characteristics of a shell-star.  相似文献
