J. Hansen2, M. Bautista3, and G. Ruchti1 1 Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Karl-Schwarzschild Str. 1, 85741 Garching, Germany e-mail: [email protected] 2 Landessternwarte, Königstuhl 12, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany 3 Department of Physics, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI 49008, USA Received 13 April 2012 / Accepted 5 July 2012 ABSTRACT We investigate the statistical equilibrium of neutral and singly-ionized strontium in late-type stellar atmospheres. Particular attention is given to the completeness of the model atom, which includes new energy levels, transition probabilities, photoionization and electron-impact excitation cross-sections computed with the R-matrix method. The NLTE model is applied to the analysis of Sr I and Sr II lines in the spectra of the Sun, Procyon, Arcturus, and HD 122563, showing a significant improvement in the ionization balance compared to LTE line formation calculations, which predict abundance discrepancies of up to 0.5 dex. The solar Sr abundance is log = 2.93 ± 0.04 dex, in agreement with the meteorites. We present the grid of NLTE abundance corrections for Sr I and Sr II lines that covers a wide range of stellar parameters. Key words. atomic data – line: formation – radiative transfer – Sun: abundances – stars: abundances – stars: atmospheres 1. Introduction calculations solving for radiative transfer in NLTE for a small grid or red giant model atmospheres (Short & Hauschildt 2006).

  • Biosignatures Search in Habitable Planets
    galaxies Review Biosignatures Search in Habitable Planets Riccardo Claudi 1,* and Eleonora Alei 1,2 1 INAF-Astronomical Observatory of Padova, Vicolo Osservatorio, 5, 35122 Padova, Italy 2 Physics and Astronomy Department, Padova University, 35131 Padova, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 August 2019; Accepted: 25 September 2019; Published: 29 September 2019 Abstract: The search for life has had a new enthusiastic restart in the last two decades thanks to the large number of new worlds discovered. The about 4100 exoplanets found so far, show a large diversity of planets, from hot giants to rocky planets orbiting small and cold stars. Most of them are very different from those of the Solar System and one of the striking case is that of the super-Earths, rocky planets with masses ranging between 1 and 10 M⊕ with dimensions up to twice those of Earth. In the right environment, these planets could be the cradle of alien life that could modify the chemical composition of their atmospheres. So, the search for life signatures requires as the first step the knowledge of planet atmospheres, the main objective of future exoplanetary space explorations. Indeed, the quest for the determination of the chemical composition of those planetary atmospheres rises also more general interest than that given by the mere directory of the atmospheric compounds. It opens out to the more general speculation on what such detection might tell us about the presence of life on those planets. As, for now, we have only one example of life in the universe, we are bound to study terrestrial organisms to assess possibilities of life on other planets and guide our search for possible extinct or extant life on other planetary bodies.

    SPACE PATTERNS AND PAINTINGS (published in the "Engineer" magazine No. 8-9, 2012) Sagredo. - If the end of the pen, which was on the ship during my entire voyage from Venice to Alexandretta, were able to leave a visible trace of its entire path, then what kind of trace, what mark, what line would it leave? Simplicio. - I would leave a line stretching from Venice to the final place, not completely straight, or rather, extended in the form of an arc of a circle, but more or less wavy, depending on how much the ship swayed along the way ... Sagredo. - If, therefore, the artist, upon leaving the harbor, began to draw with this pen on a sheet of paper and continued drawing until Alexandretta, he could get from his movement a whole picture of figures ... at least a trace left ... by the end of the pen would be nothing more than a very long and simple line. G. Galileo "Dialogue on the two main systems of the world" Space has been giving astronomers surprise after surprise lately. A number of mysterious space objects were discovered that were not predicted by astrophysics and contradicted it. The more advanced observation methods become, the more such surprises. At one time, I. Shklovsky argued that the discovery of such "cosmic wonders" would confirm the reality of extraterrestrial intelligence, its enormous technical capabilities. But in reality, the "cosmic miracles" showed the backwardness of terrestrial science, which the opium of relativism smiled so much that now it cannot clearly explain ordinary cosmic phenomena caused by natural causes.

  • A Review on Substellar Objects Below the Deuterium Burning Mass Limit: Planets, Brown Dwarfs Or What?
    geosciences Review A Review on Substellar Objects below the Deuterium Burning Mass Limit: Planets, Brown Dwarfs or What? José A. Caballero Centro de Astrobiología (CSIC-INTA), ESAC, Camino Bajo del Castillo s/n, E-28692 Villanueva de la Cañada, Madrid, Spain; [email protected] Received: 23 August 2018; Accepted: 10 September 2018; Published: 28 September 2018 Abstract: “Free-floating, non-deuterium-burning, substellar objects” are isolated bodies of a few Jupiter masses found in very young open clusters and associations, nearby young moving groups, and in the immediate vicinity of the Sun. They are neither brown dwarfs nor planets. In this paper, their nomenclature, history of discovery, sites of detection, formation mechanisms, and future directions of research are reviewed. Most free-floating, non-deuterium-burning, substellar objects share the same formation mechanism as low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, but there are still a few caveats, such as the value of the opacity mass limit, the minimum mass at which an isolated body can form via turbulent fragmentation from a cloud. The least massive free-floating substellar objects found to date have masses of about 0.004 Msol, but current and future surveys should aim at breaking this record. For that, we may need LSST, Euclid and WFIRST. Keywords: planetary systems; stars: brown dwarfs; stars: low mass; galaxy: solar neighborhood; galaxy: open clusters and associations 1. Introduction I can’t answer why (I’m not a gangstar) But I can tell you how (I’m not a flam star) We were born upside-down (I’m a star’s star) Born the wrong way ’round (I’m not a white star) I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangstar I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar Blackstar, F (2016), David Bowie The tenth star of George van Biesbroeck’s catalogue of high, common, proper motion companions, vB 10, was from the end of the Second World War to the early 1980s, and had an entry on the least massive star known [1–3].

  • HIPPARCOS Age-Metallicity Relation of the Solar Neighbourhood Disc Stars
    HIPPARCOS age-metallicity relation of the solar neighbourhood disc stars A. Ibukiyama1 and N. Arimoto1;2 1 Institute of Astronomy (IoA), School of Science, University of Tokyo, 2-21-1 Osawa, Mitaka, Tokyo 181-0015, Japan 2 National Astronomical Observatory, 2-21-1 Osawa, Mitaka, Tokyo 181-8588, Japan Received /Accepted 1 July 2002 Abstract. We derive age-metallicity relations (AMRs) and orbital parameters for the 1658 solar neighbourhood stars to which accurate distances are measured by the HIPPARCOS satellite. The sample stars comprise 1382 thin disc stars, 229 thick disc stars, and 47 halo stars according to their orbital parameters. We find a considerable scatter for thin disc AMR along the one-zone Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) model. Orbits and metallicities of thin disc stars show now clear relation each other. The scatter along the AMR exists even if the stars with the same orbits are selected. We examine simple extension of one-zone GCE models which account for inhomogeneity in the effective yield and inhomogeneous star formation rate in the Galaxy. Both extensions of one-zone GCE model cannot account for the scatter in age - [Fe/H] - [Ca/Fe] relation simultaneously. We conclude, therefore, that the scatter along the thin disc AMR is an essential feature in the formation and evolution of the Galaxy. The AMR for thick disc stars shows that the star formation terminated 8 Gyr ago in thick disc. As already reported by ?)and?), thick disc stars are more Ca-rich than thin disc stars with the same [Fe/H]. We find that thick disc stars show a vertical abundance gradient.

The nearby metal-poor giant HD 122563 is an important astrophysical laboratory in which to test stellar atmospheric and interior physics. It is also a benchmark star for which to calibrate methods to apply to large scale surveys. Recently it has been remeasured using various methodologies given the new high precision instruments at our disposal. However, inconsistencies in the observations and models have been found. Methods. In order to better characterise this star using complementary techniques we have been measuring its radial velocities since 2016 using the Hertzsprung telescope (SONG network node) in order to detect oscillations.

  • Pulsating Components in Binary and Multiple Stellar Systems---A
    Research in Astron. & Astrophys. Vol.15 (2015) No.?, 000–000 (Last modified: — December 6, 2014; 10:26 ) Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics Pulsating Components in Binary and Multiple Stellar Systems — A Catalog of Oscillating Binaries ∗ A.-Y. Zhou National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100012, China; [email protected] Abstract We present an up-to-date catalog of pulsating binaries, i.e. the binary and multiple stellar systems containing pulsating components, along with a statistics on them. Compared to the earlier compilation by Soydugan et al.(2006a) of 25 δ Scuti-type ‘oscillating Algol-type eclipsing binaries’ (oEA), the recent col- lection of 74 oEA by Liakos et al.(2012), and the collection of Cepheids in binaries by Szabados (2003a), the numbers and types of pulsating variables in binaries are now extended. The total numbers of pulsating binary/multiple stellar systems have increased to be 515 as of 2014 October 26, among which 262+ are oscillating eclipsing binaries and the oEA containing δ Scuti componentsare updated to be 96. The catalog is intended to be a collection of various pulsating binary stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. We reviewed the open questions, advances and prospects connecting pulsation/oscillation and binarity. The observational implication of binary systems with pulsating components, to stellar evolution theories is also addressed. In addition, we have searched the Simbad database for candidate pulsating binaries. As a result, 322 candidates were extracted. Furthermore, a brief statistics on Algol-type eclipsing binaries (EA) based on the existing catalogs is given. We got 5315 EA, of which there are 904 EA with spectral types A and F.
