ABSTRACT Context. The Sun shows abundance anomalies relative to most solar twins. If the abundance peculiarities are due to the formation of inner rocky planets, that would mean that only a small fraction of solar type stars may host terrestrial planets. Aims. In this work we study HIP 56948, the best solar twin known to date, to determine with an unparalleled precision how similar is to the Sun in its physical properties, chemical composition and planet architecture. We explore whether the abundances anomalies may be due to pollution from stellar ejecta or to terrestrial planet formation.

  • Reddening Map and Recent Star Formation in the Magellanic Clouds with the Earlier Studies (E.G., Besla Et Al
    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. joshi c ESO 2019 June 19, 2019 Reddening map and recent star formation in the Magellanic Clouds based on OGLE IV Cepheids Y. C. Joshi1⋆⋆⋆, A. Panchal1 1Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Manora peak, Nainital 263002, India Received: 05 November 2018; accepted 11 June 2019 Abstract Context. The reddening maps of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are constructed using the Cepheid Period-Luminosity (P-L) relations. Aims. We examine reddening distribution across the LMC and SMC through largest data on Classical Cepheids provided by the OGLE Phase IV survey. We also investigate the age and spatio-temporal distributions of Cepheids to understand the recent star formation history in the LMC and SMC. Methods. The V and I band photometric data of 2476 fundamental mode (FU) and 1775 first overtone mode (FO) Cepheids in the LMC and 2753 FU and 1793 FO Cepheids in the SMC are analyzed for their P-L relations. We convert period of FO Cepheids to corresponding period of FU Cepheids before combining the two modes of Cepheids. Both galaxies are divided into small segments and combined FU and FO P-L diagrams are drawn in two bands for each segment. The reddening analysis is performed on 133 segments covering a total area of about 154.6 deg2 in the LMC and 136 segments covering a total area of about 31.3 deg2 in the SMC. By comparing with well calibrated P-L relations of these two galaxies, we determine reddening E(V − I) in each segment and equivalent reddening E(B − V) assuming the normal extinction law.

  • The Inter-Eruption Timescale of Classical Novae from Expansion of the Z Camelopardalis Shell

This shell demonstrates that at least some dwarf novae must have undergone classical nova eruptions in the past, and that at least some classical novae become dwarf novae long after their nova thermonuclear outbursts. The current size of the shell, its known distance, and the largest observed nova ejection velocity set a lower limit to the time since Z Cam’s last outburst of 220 years. The radius of the brightest part of Z Cam’s shell is currently ∼880 arcsec. No expansion of the radius of the brightest part of the ejecta was detected, with an upper limit of 0.17 arcsec yr−1. This suggests that the last Z Cam eruption occurred 5000 years ago.

Messier 16 is a conspicuous region of active star formation, appearing in the constellation Serpens Cauda. This giant cloud of interstellar gas and dust is commonly known as the Eagle Nebula, and has already created a cluster of young stars. The nebula is also referred to the Star Queen Nebula and as IC 4703; the cluster is NGC 6611. With an overall visual magnitude of 6.4, and an apparent diameter of 7', the Eagle Nebula's star cluster is best seen with low power telescopes. The brightest star in the cluster has an apparent magnitude of +8.24, easily visible with good binoculars. A 4" scope reveals about 20 stars in an uneven background of fainter stars and nebulosity; three nebulous concentrations can be glimpsed under good conditions. Under very good conditions, suggestions of dark obscuring matter can be seen to the north of the cluster. In an 8" telescope at low power, M 16 is an impressive object. The nebula extends much farther out, to a diameter of over 30'. It is filled with dark regions and globules, including a peculiar dark column and a luminous rim around the cluster.

White22,23 (Affiliations can be found after the references) Received 15 November 2013 / Accepted 6 March 2014 ABSTRACT Context. Stars form surrounded by gas- and dust-rich protoplanetary discs. Generally, these discs dissipate over a few (3–10) Myr, leaving a faint tenuous debris disc composed of second-generation dust produced by the attrition of larger bodies formed in the protoplanetary disc. Giant planets detected in radial velocity and transit surveys of main-sequence stars also form within the protoplanetary disc, whilst super-Earths now detectable may form once the gas has dissipated. Our own solar system, with its eight planets and two debris belts, is a prime example of an end state of this process. Aims. The Herschel DEBRIS, DUNES, and GT programmes observed 37 exoplanet host stars within 25 pc at 70, 100, and 160 μm with the sensitiv- ity to detect far-infrared excess emission at flux density levels only an order of magnitude greater than that of the solar system’s Edgeworth-Kuiper belt. Here we present an analysis of that sample, using it to more accurately determine the (possible) level of dust emission from these exoplanet host stars and thereafter determine the links between the various components of these exoplanetary systems through statistical analysis.

Freitas1 Published in ApJL. ABSTRACT We present the first detailed chemical abundance analysis of the old 8.2 Gyr solar twin, HIP 102152. We derive differential abundances of 21 elements relative to the Sun with precisions as high as 0.004 dex (.1%), using ultra high-resolution (R = 110,000), high S/N UVES spectra obtained on the 8.2-m Very Large Telescope. Our determined metallicity of HIP 102152 is [Fe/H] = -0.013 ± 0.004. The atmospheric parameters of the star were determined to be 54 K cooler than the Sun, 0.09 dex lower in surface gravity, and a microturbulence identical to our derived solar value. Elemental abundance ratios examined vs. dust condensation temperature reveal a solar abundance pattern for this star, in contrast to most solar twins. The abundance pattern of HIP 102152 appears to be the most similar to solar of any known solar twin. Abundances of the younger, 2.9 Gyr solar twin, 18 Sco, were also determined from UVES spectra to serve as a comparison for HIP 102152. The solar chemical pattern of HIP 102152 makes it a potential candidate to host terrestrial planets, which is reinforced by the lack of giant planets in its terrestrial planet region.

  • Akimotoite to Perovskite Phase Transition in Mgsio3 R
    GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, VOL. 31, L10611, doi:10.1029/2004GL019704, 2004 Akimotoite to perovskite phase transition in MgSiO3 R. M. Wentzcovitch,1 L. Stixrude,2 B. B. Karki,1,3 and B.

[1] The akimotoite to perovskite phase transition of [3] The slope of a phase boundary is determined by the MgSiO3 is shown by first principles calculations to have Clausius-Clapeyron equation a negative Clapeyron slope, consistent with experimental observations. The origin of the negative slope, i.e., the dP DS ¼ : ð1Þ increase of entropy across the transformation, can be dT DV attributed to the larger density of states of low frequency vibrations in the perovskite phase. Such vibrations consist It is the sign of the entropy change DS that determines this of 1) magnesium displacements and 2) octahedral rotations, slope since DV and dP invariably have opposite signs. with the larger magnesium coordination and larger Mg-O Systematic investigations of phase transformations have bond lengths, as well as a lower degree of polyhedral lead to the rationalization of such entropy changes in connectivity accounting for the existence of low frequency different classes of materials [Navrotsky, 1980]. The entropy modes. The larger density of states in perovskite in this may increase across a transformation when there is an regime accounts also for the increase in other thermodynamic increase in configurational disorder, the development of properties across the phase transition. This ab initio solid-electrolyte behavior, an increase in electronic density calculation of a solid-solid phase boundary provides new of states at the Fermi level, a decrease in directional insights into our ability to predict high pressure-temperature bonding, or an increase in coordination.
