Solar System D-22 iii INIENIIONAI_Ly BLANK PRECEDING PAGE BLANK NOT FILMED INTRODUCTION The Bibliography of Spatial lnterferometry in Optical Astronomy is a guide to the published literature in applications of spatial interferometry techniques to astronomical observations, theory and instrumentation at visible and infrared wavelengths. The key words "spatial" and 'optical" define the scope of this discipline, distinguishing it from spatial interferometry at radio wavelengths, interferometry in the frequency domain applied to spectroscopy, or more general electro-optics theoretical and laboratory research. Spatial interferometry in astronomy at optical wavelengths, with its roots in the 19th Century, is nonetheless a comparatively immature field. The active period of experimentation and observations is scarcely two decades old. The international research community has grown rapidly. Since relatively little of the work has been published in the traditional astronomical journals, the scope of spatial interferometry research has not been fully recognized by the greater astronomical community. The purpose of this document is to identify the large body of literature on optical spatial interferometry applied to astronomy (much of which has appeared in the proceedings of international meetings) and to organize it into specific sub-fields, so that the extent of the discipline and specialties within it can be appreciated and put in perspective. Section A. Main Bibliography is a listing of all technical articles published in the international scientific literature and presented at the major international meetings and workshops attended by the spatial interferometry community. The Main Bibliography is organized in alphabetical order by first author. Thus familiar publications can be easily located, and a feeling for the representative work of individuals quickly obtained. While the chronological development of the general field is lost in the Main Bibliography, it can easily be traced through the three subsequent sections in this document, each of which has been organized in chronoligical order (and divided into specific technical categories). Section B. Theory summarizes publications dealing with basic theoretical concepts and algorithms proposed and applied to optical spatial interferometry and imaging through a turbulent atmosphere. It, as well as sections C and D, are organized chronologically by year of publication (and alphabetically by first author within each year); it was unfeasible to include the exact date of publication in the database from which this document was compiled. The Theory section is divided into basic sub-areas of that field: 1) general astronomical Imaging Theory, 2) the theoretical development of Speckle lnterferometry and Speckle Imaging, and 3) the theoretical analysis of other forms of spatial interferometry. Section C. Experimental Techniques is divided into twelve catagories, representing the most clearly identified major areas of experimental research work. This category is restricted to instrumental and technology development experiments, for eventual application to astronomy observations or data reduction. Section D. Observations identifies publications dealing specifically with observations of astronomical sources, in which optical spatial interferometry techniques have been applied. For clarity in this document, conference proceedings are identified only with the name of the conference. The Conference List in the following section gives complete reference information for the proceedings of each conference name cited in the Bibliography. The Editors solicit additions, corrections and comments on this edition from the scientific community. Please address your remarks to Dr. Daniel Y. Gezari, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Code 685, Greenbelt, MD 20771. The Editors are grateful to Enid Chandler for her dedicated editorial assistance, and to Len Moriarity for his database programming work, in the preparation of this document. iv CONFERENCE LIST - Full Citations (alphabetical order) "Active Phenomena in the Outer Atmosphere of the Sun and Stars", Proc.

  • Filter Performance Comparisons for Some Common Nebulae
    Filter Performance Comparisons For Some Common Nebulae By Dave Knisely Light Pollution and various “nebula” filters have been around since the late 1970’s, and amateurs have been using them ever since to bring out detail (and even some objects) which were difficult to impossible to see before in modest apertures. When I started using them in the early 1980’s, specific information about which filter might work on a given object (or even whether certain filters were useful at all) was often hard to come by. Even those accounts that were available often had incomplete or inaccurate information. Getting some observational experience with the Lumicon line of filters helped, but there were still some unanswered questions. I wondered how the various filters would rank on- average against each other for a large number of objects, and whether there was a “best overall” filter. In particular, I also wondered if the much-maligned H-Beta filter was useful on more objects than the two or three targets most often mentioned in publications. In the summer of 1999, I decided to begin some more comprehensive observations to try and answer these questions and determine how to best use these filters overall. I formulated a basic survey covering a moderate number of emission and planetary nebulae to obtain some statistics on filter performance to try to address the following questions: 1. How do the various filter types compare as to what (on average) they show on a given nebula? 2. Is there one overall “best” nebula filter which will work on the largest number of objects? 3.

  • Planetary Nebulae
    Planetary Nebulae A planetary nebula is a kind of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from old red giant stars late in their lives. The term "planetary nebula" is a misnomer that originated in the 1780s with astronomer William Herschel because when viewed through his telescope, these objects appeared to him to resemble the rounded shapes of planets. Herschel's name for these objects was popularly adopted and has not been changed. They are a relatively short-lived phenomenon, lasting a few tens of thousands of years, compared to a typical stellar lifetime of several billion years. The mechanism for formation of most planetary nebulae is thought to be the following: at the end of the star's life, during the red giant phase, the outer layers of the star are expelled by strong stellar winds. Eventually, after most of the red giant's atmosphere is dissipated, the exposed hot, luminous core emits ultraviolet radiation to ionize the ejected outer layers of the star. Absorbed ultraviolet light energizes the shell of nebulous gas around the central star, appearing as a bright colored planetary nebula at several discrete visible wavelengths. Planetary nebulae may play a crucial role in the chemical evolution of the Milky Way, returning material to the interstellar medium from stars where elements, the products of nucleosynthesis (such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and neon), have been created. Planetary nebulae are also observed in more distant galaxies, yielding useful information about their chemical abundances. In recent years, Hubble Space Telescope images have revealed many planetary nebulae to have extremely complex and varied morphologies.

  • Fundamental Properties of Core-Collapse Supernova and GRB Progenitors: Predicting the Look of Massive Stars Before Death

Groh1, Georges Meynet1, Cyril Georgy2, and Sylvia Ekström1 1 Geneva Observatory, Geneva University, Chemin des Maillettes 51, 1290 Sauverny, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] 2 Astrophysics group, EPSAM, Keele University, Lennard-Jones Labs, ST5 5BG Keele, UK Received 16 May 2013 / Accepted 20 August 2013 ABSTRACT We investigate the fundamental properties of core-collapse supernova (SN) progenitors from single stars at solar metallicity. For this purpose, we combine Geneva stellar evolutionary models with initial masses of Mini = 20−120 M with atmospheric and wind models using the radiative transfer code CMFGEN. We provide synthetic photometry and high-resolution spectra of hot stars at the pre-SN stage. For models with Mini = 9−20 M, we supplement our analysis using publicly available MARCS model atmospheres of RSGs to estimate their synthetic photometry. We employ well-established observational criteria of spectroscopic classification and find that, depending on their initial mass and rotation, massive stars end their lives as red supergiants (RSG), yellow hypergiants (YHG), luminous blue variables (LBV), and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars of the WN and WO spectral types. For rotating models, we obtained the + following types of SN progenitors: WO1–3 (Mini ≥ 32 M), WN10–11 (25 < Mini < 32 M), LBV (20 ≤ Mini ≤ 25 M), G1 Ia (18 < Mini < 20 M), and RSGs (9 ≤ Mini ≤ 18 M). For non-rotating models, we found spectral types WO1–3 (Mini > 40 M), WN7–8 (25 < Mini ≤ 40 M), WN11h/LBV (20 < Mini ≤ 25 M), and RSGs (9 ≤ Mini ≤ 20 M).

This book can be referenced as follows: Reipurth, B. 2016, http://ifa.hawaii.edu/SP1 i FOREWORD I first learned about George Herbig’s work when I was a teenager. I grew up in Denmark in the 1950s, a time when Europe was healing the wounds after the ravages of the Second World War. Already at the age of 7 I had fallen in love with astronomy, but information was very hard to come by in those days, so I scraped together what I could, mainly relying on the local library. At some point I was introduced to the magazine Sky and Telescope, and soon invested my pocket money in a subscription. Every month I would sit at our dining room table with a dictionary and work my way through the latest issue. In one issue I read about Herbig-Haro objects, and I was completely mesmerized that these objects could be signposts of the formation of stars, and I dreamt about some day being able to contribute to this field of study.

These images were collected with the Wide-field Infrared Camera (WIRCam) on the 3.6 m Canada-France- Hawaii Telescope (CFHT); their unprecedented depth and wide field of view allow us to find extended nebular structures in H2 emission in several PNe, some of these being the first detection. The nebular morphologies in H2 emission are studied in analogy with the optical images, and indication on stellar wind interactions is discussed.
