  • Multi-Periodic Photospheric Pulsations and Connected Wind Structures in HD 64760

This new study is based on high-resolution echelle spectra obtained with the Feros instrument at ESO La Silla. 279 spectra were collected over 10 nights between February 14 and 24, 2003. From the period analysis of the line-profile variability of the photospheric lines we identify three closely spaced periods around 4.810 h and a splitting of ±3%. The velocity – phase diagrams of the line-profile variations for the distinct periods reveal characteristic prograde non-radial pulsation patterns of high order corresponding to pulsation modes with l and m in the range 6−10. A detailed modeling of the multi-periodic non-radial pulsations with the Bruce and Kylie pulsation-model codes (Townsend 1997b, MNRAS, 284, 839) favors either three modes with l = −m and l = 8, 6, 8 or m = −6andl = 8, 6, 10 with the second case maintaining the closely spaced periods in the co-rotating frame.

  • Binocular Universe: You're My Hero! December 2010
    Binocular Universe: You're My Hero! December 2010 Phil Harrington on't you just love a happy ending? I know I do. Picture this. Princess Andromeda, a helpless damsel in distress, chained to a rock as a ferocious D sea monster loomed nearby. Just when all appeared lost, our hero -- Perseus! -- plunges out of the sky, kills the monster, and sweeps up our maiden in his arms. Together, they fly off into the sunset on his winged horse to live happily ever after. Such is the stuff of myths and legends. That story, the legend of Perseus and Andromeda, was recounted in last month's column when we visited some binocular targets within the constellation Cassiopeia. In mythology, Queen Cassiopeia was Andromeda's mother, and the cause for her peril in the first place. Left: Autumn star map from Star Watch by Phil Harrington Above: Finder chart for this month's Binocular Universe. Chart adapted from Touring the Universe through Binoculars Atlas (TUBA), www.philharrington.net/tuba.htm This month, we return to the scene of the rescue, to our hero, Perseus. He stands in our sky to the east of Cassiopeia and Andromeda, should the Queen's bragging get her daughter into hot water again. The constellation's brightest star, Mirfak (Alpha [α] Persei), lies about two-thirds of the way along a line that stretches from Pegasus to the bright star Capella in Auriga. Shining at magnitude +1.8, Mirfak is classified as a class F5 white supergiant. It radiates some 5,000 times the energy of our Sun and has a diameter 62 times larger.

Called “Cool Stars, Stellar Systems, and the Sun,” the meeting empha- sized the solar stellar connection and focused discussion on “several topics … in which the similarity is manifest: the structures of chromospheres and coronae, stellar activity, and the phenomena of mass loss,” according to the preface of the resulting, “Special Report of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.” We could easily have chosen the same topics for this meeting. Over the summer of 1980, the group met again in Bonas, France and then back in Cambridge in 1981. Nearly 40 years on, I am comfortable saying these workshops have evolved to be the premier conference series for cool star research. Cool Stars has been held largely biennially, alternating between North America and Europe. Over that time, the field of stellar astro- physics has been upended several times, first by results from Hubble, then ROSAT, then Keck and other large aperture ground-based adaptive optics telescopes.

Mars Hill Rd., Flagstaff, AZ, USA Received 2015 January 6; accepted 2015 February 26; published 2015 May 4 ABSTRACT Precise and accurate parameters for late-type (late K and M) dwarf stars are important for characterization of any orbiting planets, but such determinations have been hampered by these stars’ complex spectra and dissimilarity to the Sun. We exploit an empirically calibrated method to estimate spectroscopic effective temperature (Teff) and the Stefan–Boltzmann law to determine radii of 183 nearby K7–M7 single stars with a precision of 2%–5%. Our improved stellar parameters enable us to develop model-independent relations between Teff or absolute magnitude and radius, as well as between color and Teff. The derived Teff–radius relation depends strongly on [Fe/H],as predicted by theory.

By highlighting an interesting pair, hopefully in each issue, we have a place for those who love doubles but may have little interest in the rigors of measurements and the long lists of results. Your comments about these mini-articles are welcomed. Arabs long ago named Alcor “Saidak” or “the proof” as Introduction they too used it as a test of vision. Alcor shares nearly My first view of a double star through a telescope the same space motion with Mizar and about 20 other was an inspiring sight and just as with many new stars in what is called the Ursa Major stream or observers today, the star was Mizar.

The Center is one of the five resources and operating units in the National Measurement Laboratory. The summary of activities is organized in six sections, one for the technical activities of the Quantum Metrology Group, and one each for the five divisions of the Center.

    Publications ofthe Astronomical Society ofthe Pacific 99:490-496, June 1987 RADIAL VELOCITIES OF M DWARF STARS GEOFFREY W. MARCY,* VICTORIA LINDSAY,* AND KAREN WILSON Department of Physics and Astronomy, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, California 94132 Received 1987 February 26, revised 1987 March 28 ABSTRACT Radial velocities for 72 M dwarfs have been obtained having internal errors of about 0.1 km s1 and external errors of about 0.4 km s_1. Multiple velocity measurements of ten dMe stars have yielded a set of six which have no stellar companions, providing confirmation that the dMe phenomenon can occur in single stars. These single dMe stars have low space motions indicative of relative youth. Four stars from the entire survey were found to have double-line spectra and two were found to be single-line spectroscopic binaries of low amplitude. The zero point of the velocity scale is found to agree well with that of O. C. Wilson (1967) and differences are noted among other radial-velocity studies. Most of the stars in this study have velocities sufficiently well determined to constitute potential radial-velocity standards. Key words: K-M dwarfs-radial velocities I. Introduction atic difference between their velocities and O. C. 1 Accurate measurements of radial velocities for M Wilson's of —1.7 km s , a discrepancy not explainable by dwarfs are used to address a number of astrophysical the random errors of the two studies. problems such as the age dependence of the kinematics of Thus, it is not known at present which zero point is to the Galaxy (cf.
