Ephemerides Astronomicae Anni Intercalaris 1780. Ad Meridianum Informazioni su questo libro Si tratta della copia digitale di un libro che per generazioni è stato conservata negli scaffali di una biblioteca prima di essere digitalizzato da Google nell’ambito del progetto volto a rendere disponibili online i libri di tutto il mondo.

Received: 2018 November 7; in original from 2018 April 6 ABSTRACT We have initiated a dedicated project to follow-up with ground-based photometry the transiting planets discovered by CoRoT in order to refine the orbital elements, constrain their physical parameters and search for additional bodies in the system. From 2012 September to 2016 December we carried out 16 transit observations of six CoRoT planets (CoRoT-5b, CoRoT-8b, CoRoT-12b, CoRoT-18b, CoRoT-20 b, and CoRoT-27b) at three observatories located in Germany and Spain. These observations took place between 5 and 9 yr after the planet’s discovery, which has allowed us to place stringent constraints on the planetary ephemeris. In five cases we obtained light curves with a deviation of the mid-transit time of up to ∼115 min from the predictions.

Blondel1,2 andH.R.E.TjinADjie1 1 Astronomical Institute “Anton Pannekoek”, University of Amsterdam, Kruislaan 403, 1098 SJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands e-mail: [email protected] 2 SARA, Kruislaan 415, 1098 SJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands Received 13 February 2004 / Accepted 13 October 2005 ABSTRACT Context. Spectral classification of PMS Ae/Fe stars, based on visual observations, may lead to ambiguous conclusions. Aims. We aim to reduce these ambiguities by using UV spectra for the classification of these stars, because the rise of the continuum in the UV is highly sensitive to the stellar spectral type of A/F-type stars. Methods. We analyse the low-resolution UV spectra in terms of a 3-component model, that consists of spectra of a central star, of an optically-thick accretion disc, and of a boundary-layer between the disc and star. The disc-component was calculated as a juxtaposition of Planck spectra, while the 2 other components were simulated by the low-resolution UV spectra of well-classified standard stars (taken from the IUE spectral atlases). The hot boundary-layer shows strong similarities to the spectra of late-B type supergiants (see Appendix A). Results. We modeled the low-resolution UV spectra of 37 PMS Ae/Fe stars. Each spectral match provides 8 model parameters: spectral type and luminosity-class of photosphere and boundary-layer, temperature and width of the boundary-layer, disc-inclination and circumstellar extinction.

You may have noticed that this newsletter is showing up a little bit later than usual, and it’s for good reason: release of the newsletter will now happen after the monthly business meeting so that we can have a chance to keep everybody up to date on the latest information. Sometimes, this will mean the newsletter shows up a couple of days late. But, the upshot is that you’ll now be able to see what we discussed at the recent business meeting and have time to digest it before our general meeting in case you want to give some feedback. Now that we’re on the new format, business meetings (and the oft neglected Light Pollution Committee Meeting), are going to start being open to all members of the club again by simply joining up in the respective chat rooms the Wednesday before the first Monday of the month—which I encourage people to do, especially if you have some ideas you want to see the club put into action.

The formation and evolution of the Galactic bulge and its relationship with the other Galactic populations is still poorly understood. Aims. To establish the chemical differences and similarities between the bulge and other stellar populations, we performed an elemen- tal abundance analysis of α- (O, Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti) and Z-odd (Na and Al) elements of red giant stars in the bulge as well as of local thin disk, thick disk and halo giants. Methods. We use high-resolution optical spectra of 25 bulge giants in Baade’s window and 55 comparison giants (4 halo, 29 thin disk and 22 thick disk giants) in the solar neighborhood. All stars have similar stellar parameters but cover a broad range in metallicity (−1.5 < [Fe/H] < +0.5).

The Terms of Reference and membership for WG Star Names (WGSN) are provided at the IAU website: https://www.iau.org/science/scientific_bodies/working_groups/280/. ​ ​ ​ WGSN was re-proposed to Division C and was approved in April 2019 as a functional WG whose scope extends beyond the normal 3-year cycle of IAU working groups. The WGSN was specifically called out on p. 22 of IAU Strategic Plan 2020-2030: “The IAU serves as the ​ internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and their surface features. To do so, the IAU has a number of Working Groups on various topics, most notably on the nomenclature of small bodies in the Solar System and planetary systems under Division F and on Star Names under Division C.” WGSN continues its long term activity of researching cultural astronomy literature for star names, and researching etymologies with the goal of adding this information to the WGSN’s online materials.

  • Pleione (BU Tauri, 28 Tauri)
    Pleione (BU Tauri, 28 Tauri) Wolfgang Vollmann Abstract: The classical Be star Pleione (BU Tau, 28 Tau) is presented with the current astrophysical model. Brightness measurements with a DSLR camera, transformed to Johnson V show a yearly increase of 0.011 mag for the time period 2011 to 2020 (JD 2455800 to 2458950). Aktuelle Vorstellung von Pleione Pleione war in der griechischen Mythologie die Gattin des Titanen Atlas und die Mutter der Pleiaden, der sieben Schwestern. Die nach ihnen benannten 9 Sterne bilden den für das freie Auge auffallenden Sternhaufen Messier 45 im Rücken des Sternbilds Stier [1]. Alle neun hellen Sterne des Sternhaufens sind heiße, leuchtkräftige B-Sterne. Pleione ist ein Hauptreihenstern vom Spektraltyp B8 mit einer Oberflächentemperatur von 12.000 K, der im Kern Wasserstoff zu Helium fusioniert. Die weiteren hellen Plejadensterne sind bereits entwickelte Unterriesen wie Merope bzw. Riesensterne wie Alkyone. Pleione leuchtet aus der Entfernung von 385 Lichtjahren mit 190-facher Sonnenleuchtkraft. Der Stern ist 3,2 mal größer als die Sonne und hat 3,4 Sonnenmassen. Pleione ist einer der klassischen „Be“-Sterne, der im Spektrum deutliche Emissionslinien des Wasserstoffs zeigt, besonders in der tiefroten H-alpha-Linie. Erstmals wurde das Be-Phänomen bei Gamma Cassiopeiae durch visuelle spektroskopische Beobachtungen entdeckt (Angelo Secchi, 1867). Diese Emissionslinien entstehen in einer Wasserstoffgasscheibe um den Stern. Pleione rotiert extrem schnell mit 330 km/s am Äquator (165-mal schneller als die Sonne) und benötigt für eine Umdrehung nur einen halben Tag. Durch die extrem schnelle Rotation ist der Stern in den Polregionen stark abgeplattet. Die hohe Rotationsgeschwindigkeit in der Äquatorebene ist unter anderem auch an der Entstehung der Wasserstoffscheibe um den Stern beteiligt [6].

  • Planets and Exoplanets
    NASE Publications Planets and exoplanets Planets and exoplanets Rosa M. Ros, Hans Deeg International Astronomical Union, Technical University of Catalonia (Spain), Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and University of La Laguna (Spain) Summary This workshop provides a series of activities to compare the many observed properties (such as size, distances, orbital speeds and escape velocities) of the planets in our Solar System. Each section provides context to various planetary data tables by providing demonstrations or calculations to contrast the properties of the planets, giving the students a concrete sense for what the data mean. At present, several methods are used to find exoplanets, more or less indirectly. It has been possible to detect nearly 4000 planets, and about 500 systems with multiple planets. Objetives - Understand what the numerical values in the Solar Sytem summary data table mean. - Understand the main characteristics of extrasolar planetary systems by comparing their properties to the orbital system of Jupiter and its Galilean satellites. The Solar System By creating scale models of the Solar System, the students will compare the different planetary parameters. To perform these activities, we will use the data in Table 1. Planets Diameter (km) Distance to Sun (km) Sun 1 392 000 Mercury 4 878 57.9 106 Venus 12 180 108.3 106 Earth 12 756 149.7 106 Marte 6 760 228.1 106 Jupiter 142 800 778.7 106 Saturn 120 000 1 430.1 106 Uranus 50 000 2 876.5 106 Neptune 49 000 4 506.6 106 Table 1: Data of the Solar System bodies In all cases, the main goal of the model is to make the data understandable.

We investigate several sets of possible O, B and early A spectral class members. The first set is a group of stars for which mid-infrared images show bright nebulae, all of which can be associated with stars of spectral type B. We model the scattered and emitted radiation from the reflection nebulosity and compare the results with the observed spectral energy distributions to test the plausibility of association of the B stars with the cloud. The second group of candidates investigated consists of early-type stars compiled from (i) literature listings in SIMBAD; (ii) B stars with infrared excesses selected from the Spitzer Space Telescope survey of the Taurus cloud; (iii) magnitude- and color-selected point sources from the Two Micron All Sky Survey; and (iv) spectroscopically identified early-type stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey coverage of the Taurus region.

HD 15082 (WASP-33) is the hottest and fastest rotating star known to harbor a transiting extrasolar planet (WASP-33b). The lack of high precision radial velocity (RV) data stresses the need for precise light curve analysis and gathering further RV data. Aims. By using available photometric and RV data, we perform a blend analysis, compute more accurate system parameters, confine the planetary mass, and, attempt to cast light on the observed transit anomalies. Methods. We combined the original HATNet observations and various followup data to jointly analyze the signal content and extract the transit component and used our RV data to aid the global parameter determination. Results. The blend analysis of the combination of multicolor light curves yields the first independent confirmation of the planetary nature of WASP-33b. We clearly identify three frequency components in the 15–21 d−1 regime with amplitudes 7–5 mmag. These frequencies correspond to the δ Scuti-type pulsation of the host star.
