Baglin 82 Comm. in Asteroseismology Vol. 145, 2004 Preface Asteroseismology is a young branch of stellar astrophysics in two ways: ¯rstly, the methods to sound stellar interiors have only recently - and are still being - developed and secondly, many researchers in this ¯eld are young people. The 12th JENAM conference has been organised with some main aims being the interaction between young and experienced scientists, and to increase the possibilities for young astronomers to ¯nd employment. In this spirit, a job market for these people was also o®ered for the ¯rst time. Consequently, it was only logical that a two-day asteroseismology mini-workshop, focus- ing on the impact of such studies on aspects of stellar evolution, was also held during the JENAM meeting in Budapest. Moreover, given the focus on communication and contents of the workshop there is no journal other than Communications in Asteroseismology more appropriate for publishing its proceedings. In the following, you will ¯nd a summary of the presentations given at this workshop, with reviews by several selected world specialists in asteroseismology and stellar evolution, but also by young researchers, supplemented by a number of poster presentations, all of which will give you a broad overview of the recent status of research and highly interesting outlooks into the future. The scienti¯c organising committee of the 'Asteroseismology and Stellar Evolution' min- isymposium consisted of the following people: Gerald Handler (Vienna/Austria) Hans Kjeldsen (Aarhus/Denmark) Zolt¶an Koll¶ath (Budapest, Hungary, convenor) Margit Papar¶o (Budapest/Hungary) Ennio Poretti (Merate/Italy) Chris Sterken (Brussels/Belgium) The minisymposium was sponsored by the organizers of JENAM 2003: European Astro- nomical Society, Konkoly Observatory, Roland EÄotvÄos Physical Society and EÄotvÄos Lor¶and University.

The ¯rst one concerns the e®ect of rotational mode coupling in ¯ Cep models. The second one deals with the strong dependence of the photometric observables on convection in ± Scuti stars. Introduction Oscillation spectra of main-sequence pulsators, like ¯ Cep and ± Sct stars, only seldom exhibit equidistant patters, which are typical, for example, in white dwarfs. Therefore, it is di±cult to identify oscillation modes from frequency spectra alone. The most popular method of mode identi¯cation is based on multicolor photometry (Balona & Stobie 1979, Watson 1988). We address here two problems concerning this method which have been discussed in details in two of our recent papers (Daszynsk¶ a-Daszkiewicz et al. 2002, 2003). Photometric amplitudes and phases in rotating ¯ Cep models If e®ects of rotation are negligible, the photometric diagnostic diagrams (amplitude ratio vs. phase di®erence) are independent of the inclination angle, i, and of the azimuthal order, m, and they may reveal the spherical harmonic degree, `. For ¯ Cep star models, oscillation modes are located in the diagnostic diagrams in very well separated regions of di®erent values of `. With the results of linear nonadiabatic theory these diagrams have been successfully applied to many stars (Cugier et al. 1994). However amongst ¯ Cep stars we meet quite often fast rotators. The most important e®ect of moderate rotation is mode coupling. It occurs if the frequency di®erence between modes j and k is of the order of the angular velocity of rotation, !j ¡ !k » ­, and if the spherical harmonic indices satisfy the relations: `j = `k §2 and mj = mk. For eigenfunctions of coupled modes one has to consider superpositions of all modes satisfying the conditions mentioned above. The complex amplitude of the monochromatic flux variation for a coupled mode is expressed as A¸(i) = akA¸;k(i) Xk J. Daszynsk¶ a-Daszkiewicz, W.A. Dziembowski, A.A.

These quantities describe contributions of kth- spherical harmonic to the coupled mode. A¸;k is the complex amplitude for single-` mode. Now the amplitude ratios and phase di®erences become both i and m dependent. In Fig.1 we give an example of coupling between a close ` = 0 and 2 pair at an equatorial velocity of about 100 km/s. Open circles mark positions of single ` modes in the diagram based on u and y StrÄomgren passbands. In the left panel, we see the nominal ` = 0 mode. It is indeed dominated by the ` = 0 component, but there is a considerable ` = 2 component. Small dots are equally spaced in cos i, therefore their density reflects the probability of the situation.

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

  • Runaways and Shells Around the Cma OB1 Association B
    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. cmashellpart1_rev c ESO 2019 June 4, 2019 Runaways and shells around the CMa OB1 association B. Fernandes1; 2, T. Montmerle1, T. Santos-Silva1; 2, and J. Gregorio-Hetem2 1 Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris, 75014, Paris, France 2 Universidade de São Paulo, IAG, Departamento de Astronomia, São Paulo, 05508-090, Brazil e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Context. The origin of the arc-shaped Sh 2-296 nebula is still unclear. Mainly due to its morphology, the nebula has been suggested to be a 0.5 Myr-old supernova remnant (SNR) that could be inducing star formation in the CMa OB1 association. Therefore, this region can be an excellent laboratory for the investigation of the influence of massive stars on their surroundings. Aims. We aim to show, for the first time, that the nebula is part of a large, shell-like structure, which we have designated the “CMa shell”, enclosing a bubble created by successive supernova (SN) explosions. We identified three runaway stars, associated with bow- shock structures, in the direction of the CMa shell and we investigate the possibility that they have originated in the center of the shell. Methods. By analyzing images of the CMa OB1 association at several wavelengths, we clearly see that the Sh 2-296 nebula is in fact part of a large structure, which can be approximated by a large (with a diameter of ∼ 60 pc) elliptical shell. Using the recent Gaia-DR2 astrometric data, we trace back the path of the three runaway stars, in order to find their original position in the past, with relation to the CMa shell.

  • Nova Report 2006-2007
    NOVA REPORTNOVA 2006 - 2007 NOVA REPORT 2006-2007 Illustration on the front cover The cover image shows a composite image of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). This object is the brightest radio source in the sky, and has been created by a supernova explosion about 330 year ago. The star itself had a mass of around 20 times the mass of the sun, but by the time it exploded it must have lost most of the outer layers. The red and green colors in the image are obtained from a million second observation of Cas A with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The blue image is obtained with the Very Large Array at a wavelength of 21.7 cm. The emission is caused by very high energy electrons swirling around in a magnetic field. The red image is based on the ratio of line emission of Si XIII over Mg XI, which brings out the bi-polar, jet-like, structure. The green image is the Si XIII line emission itself, showing that most X-ray emission comes from a shell of stellar debris. Faintly visible in green in the center is a point-like source, which is presumably the neutron star, created just prior to the supernova explosion. Image credits: Creation/compilation: Jacco Vink.

Based on our improved understanding of the strengths and limitations of such a tool, we argue for a new small/medium space mission dedicated to gath- ering high-precision, high-cadence, long photometric series in dense stellar fields. Such a mission will lead to breakthroughs in stellar astrophysics, especially in the metal poor regime, will elucidate the evolution and formation of open and globular clusters, and aid our understanding of the assembly history and chemodynamics of the Milky Way’s bulge and a few nearby dwarf galaxies.

Wulandari1 1Astronomy Program, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia 2National Institute of Aeronautics and Space, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] (Received November 30, 2014; Reviced May 31, 2015; Aaccepted June 30, 2015) ABSTRACT We studied a cluster family in the northern part of the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) a group of clusters near NGC 3324 (Tr 15, NGC 3293, Loden 165, Loden 153 and IC 2581). We used data from UCAC4 to determine the cluster's membership and the near infrared CMDs of each cluster. We analyzed the spatial density and elongation as a function of radius for each cluster and found a possible interaction between NGC 3293 and Loden153. However, the shape distortion of NGC 3324 cannot be evaluated because of the inhomogenity in the coverage of UCAC4 in the east part of NGC 3324. Key words: open clusters and associations: NGC 3324, Tr 15, NGC 3293, Loden 165, Loden 153, IC 2581 1. INTRODUCTION 1999). Then, we plot the cluster members in an HR di- agram to see the distribution of the evolutionary tracks The Great Carina Nebula is a nebula that has associated (Figure 2).
