  • Apparent and Absolute Magnitudes of Stars: a Simple Formula
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 96 (2018) 120-133 EISSN 2392-2192 Apparent and Absolute Magnitudes of Stars: A Simple Formula Dulli Chandra Agrawal Department of Farm Engineering, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi - 221005, India E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT An empirical formula for estimating the apparent and absolute magnitudes of stars in terms of the parameters radius, distance and temperature is proposed for the first time for the benefit of the students. This reproduces successfully not only the magnitudes of solo stars having spherical shape and uniform photosphere temperature but the corresponding Hertzsprung-Russell plot demonstrates the main sequence, giants, super-giants and white dwarf classification also. Keywords: Stars, apparent magnitude, absolute magnitude, empirical formula, Hertzsprung-Russell diagram 1. INTRODUCTION The visible brightness of a star is expressed in terms of its apparent magnitude [1] as well as absolute magnitude [2]; the absolute magnitude is in fact the apparent magnitude while it is observed from a distance of . The apparent magnitude of a celestial object having flux in the visible band is expressed as [1, 3, 4] ( ) (1) ( Received 14 March 2018; Accepted 31 March 2018; Date of Publication 01 April 2018 ) World Scientific News 96 (2018) 120-133 Here is the reference luminous flux per unit area in the same band such as that of star Vega having apparent magnitude almost zero. Here the flux is the magnitude of starlight the Earth intercepts in a direction normal to the incidence over an area of one square meter. The condition that the Earth intercepts in the direction normal to the incidence is normally fulfilled for stars which are far away from the Earth.

VI Thema Im Zentrum dieser Doktorarbeit steht die Untersuchung der inneren Strukturen zirkumstella- rer Scheiben um T Tauri-Sterne sowie die Analyse zirkumstellarer Staub- und Eisteilchen und ihres Einflusses auf die Scheibenstruktur. Unter Zuhilfenahme von theoretisch berechneten Vergleichsspektren gibt der Verlauf der 10 µm-Emissionsbande in den Spektren junger stellarer Objekte Hinweise auf den Entwick- lungsgrad von Silikatstaub. Die Silikatbanden von 27 T Tauri-Objekten werden analysiert, um nach potentiell vorliegenden Korrelationen zwischen der Silikatstaubzusammensetzung und den stellaren Eigenschaften zu suchen. Analog erlaubt das Absorptionsband bei 3 µm, das dem Wassereis zugeschrieben wird, eine Untersuchung der Entwicklung von Eisk¨ornern in jungen stellaren Objekten. Erstmals ist es gelungen, kristallines Wassereis im Spektrum eines T Tauri-Objektes nachzuweisen. Unser wichtigstes Hilfsmittel zur Analyse der Temperatur- und Dichtestrukturen zirkum- stellarer

  • 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).

  • Manganese Spread in Ursa Minor As a Proof of Sub-Classes of Type Ia
    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. paperMn6 c ESO 2018 September 22, 2018 Manganese spread in Ursa Minor as a proof of sub-classes of type Ia supernovae G. Cescutti1,3 ⋆ and C. Kobayashi2,3 1 INAF, Osservatorio Astronomico di Trieste, I-34131 Trieste, Italy 2 Centre for Astrophysics Research, School of Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics, University of Hertfordshire, College Lane, Hatfield AL10 9AB, UK 3 BRIDGCE UK Network (www.bridgce.net), UK Received xxxx / Accepted xxxx ABSTRACT Context. Recently, new sub-classes of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) were discovered, including SNe Iax. The suggested progenitors of SNe Iax are relatively massive, possibly hybrid C+O+Ne white dwarfs, which can cause white dwarf winds at low metallicities. There is another class that can potentially occur at low or zero metallicities; sub-Chandrasekhar mass explosions in single and/or double degenerate systems of standard C+O white dwarfs. These explosions have different nucleosynthesis yields compared to the normal, Chandrasekhar mass explosions. Aims. We test these SN Ia channels using their characteristic chemical signatures. Methods. The two sub-classes of SNe Ia are expected to be rarer than normal SNe Ia and do not affect the chemical evolution in the solar neighbourhood; however, because of the shorter delay time and/or weaker metallicity dependence, they could influence the evolution of metal-poor systems. Therefore, we have included both in our stochastic chemical evolution model for the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Ursa Minor. Results. The model predicts a butterfly-shape spread in [Mn/Fe] in the interstellar medium at low metallicity and - at the same time - a decrease of [α/Fe] ratios at lower [Fe/H] than in the solar neighbourhood, both of which are consistent with the observed abundances in stars of Ursa Minor.

  • Stars and Their Spectra: an Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89954-3 - Stars and Their Spectra: An Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B. Kaler Index More information Star index Stars are arranged by the Latin genitive of their constellation of residence, with other star names interspersed alphabetically. Within a constellation, Bayer Greek letters are given first, followed by Roman letters, Flamsteed numbers, variable stars arranged in traditional order (see Section 1.11), and then other names that take on genitive form. Stellar spectra are indicated by an asterisk. The best-known proper names have priority over their Greek-letter names. Spectra of the Sun and of nebulae are included as well.
