Spring 2020 Mendel Science Experience 2151 Astronomy Laboratory - Stars Observatory Lab The Villanova Public Observatory PURPOSE: The science of astronomy began with the first humans who looked up into the nighttime sky and wondered “What’s going on up there?” This semester, you will explore some of the answers to this question in your lecture course and in this lab course. Most of this exploration will happen in the classroom or in the lab room. This lab will give you the opportunity to go outside and actually look at the nighttime sky, using both the unaided eye and a powerful modern astronomical telescope. EQUIPMENT: The Villanova Public Observatory, accessible via the Department of Astrophysics & Planetary Science on the 4th floor of Mendel Science Center.

  • Close Binary White Dwarf Systems: Numerous New Detections and Their Interpretation
    Close Binary White Dwarf Systems: Numerous New Detections and Their Interpretation Rex A. Saffer1 & Mario Livio Space Telescope Science Institute2, 3700 San Martin Dr., Baltimore, MD 21218 email: saff[email protected], [email protected] Lev R. Yungelson Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Acadamy of Sciences, 48 Pyatnitskaya St., Moscow 109017, Russia email: [email protected] Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal ABSTRACT We describe radial velocity observations of a large sample of apparently single white dwarfs (WDs), obtained in a long-term effort to discover close, double-degenerate (DD) pairs which might comprise viable Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) progenitors. We augment the WD sample with a previously observed sample of apparently single subdwarf B (sdB) stars, which are believed to evolve directly to the WD cooling sequence after the cessation of core helium burning. We have identified 18 new radial velocity variables, including five confirmed sdB+WD short-period pairs. Our observations are in general agreement with the predictions of the theory of binary star evolution. We describe a numerical method to evaluate the detection efficiency of the survey and estimate the arXiv:astro-ph/9802356v1 27 Feb 1998 number of binary systems not detected due to the effects of varying orbital inclination, orbital phase at the epoch of the first observation, and the actual temporal sampling of each object in the sample. Follow-up observations are in progress to solve for the orbital parameters of the candidate velocity variables.

Sembach, s and Alfred Vidal-Madjar 4 ABSTRACT High resolution far-ultra_ iolet spectra of the O-type subdwarf BD +28 ° 4211 were obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spe(troscopic Explorer to measure the interstellar deuterium, nitrogen, and oxygen abundances in tMs direction. The interstellar D I transitions are analyzed down to Ly_ at 920.7 A. The star was observed several times at different target offsets in the direction of spectral dispersion. The :digned and coadded spectra have high signal-to-noise ratios (S/N -- 50 - 100). D I, N I, and O I transitions were analyzed with curve-of-growth and profile fitting techniques. A model of inter_tellar molecular hydrogen on the line of sight was derived from H2 lines in the FUSE spectra altd used to help analyze some features where blending with H2 was significant. The H I columr, density was determined from high resolution HST/STIS spectra of Lya to be log N(H I) = 19.846 4- 0.035 (2a), which is higher than is typical for sight lines in the local ISM studied for D/H. We found that D/H = (1.39 + 0.21) x 10 -5 (2a) and O/H = (2.37 4- 0.55) x 10-4 (2a).

Wide binaries are a potential pathway for the formation of hot Jupiters. The binary fraction among host stars is an important discrim- inator between competing formation theories, but has not been well characterised. Additionally, contaminating light from unresolved stars can significantly affect the accuracy of photometric and spectroscopic measurements in studies of transiting exoplanets. Aims. We observed 101 transiting exoplanet host systems in the Southern hemisphere in order to create a homogeneous catalogue of both bound companion stars and contaminating background stars, in an area of the sky where transiting exoplanetary systems have not been systematically searched for stellar companions. We investigate the binary fraction among the host stars in order to test theories for the formation of hot Jupiters.

  • Heavy Element Abundances in DAO White Dwarfs Measured from FUSE Data

Evidence of absorption by heavy elements was found in the spectra of all the objects. Measurements were made us- ing models that adopted the temperatures, gravities and helium abundances determined from both optical and FUSE data by Good et al. (2004). It was found that, when using the values for those parameters measured from optical data, the carbon abundance measurements follow and extend a similar trend of increasing abundance with temperature for DA white dwarfs, discovered by Barstow et al. (2003). However, when the FUSE measurements are used the DAO abundances no longer join this trend since the temperatures are higher than the opti- cal measures. Silicon abundances were found to increase with temperature, but no similar trend was identified in the nitrogen, oxygen, iron or nickel abundances, and no dependence on gravity or helium abundances were noted. However, the models were not able to reproduce the observed silicon and iron line strengths satisfactorily in the spectra of half the objects, and the oxygen features of all but three.
