Previously reported absorption lines were confirmed at 26 MHz and a number of other lines were identified in the 25 MHz to 68 MHz range. These lines promise to become an important diagnostic for the ionization conditions in cool interstellar clouds. • Extremely painstaking observations of several Abell clusters of galaxies with the 140-foot telescope have yielded three positive detections of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. The dimunition in the brightness of the microwave background in the direction of clusters is the direct result of the Inverse Compton scattering of the 3° K blackbody photons by electrons in the Intracluster gas. The observations took full advantage of the low noise temperature, broadband, and excellent stability of the Green Bank 18-26 MHz maser system. • The J ■ 1*0 transition of the long-sought-after molecular ion, HCNff*", was detected with the 12-meter telescope at 74.1 GHz. The existence of protonated HCN is one of the prime tests of the theory of ion-molecule reaction schemes in interstellar chemistry. Virtually all CN-containing interstellar molecules, such as HCN, HNC, and many long-chain cyanopolyynes, form directly from HCNH+. • A high-resolution VLA survey of all catalogued, high surface brightness, compact objects in the southern galactic plane uncovered a few objects which are not classifiable into previously known SNR categories.

Cotton,4 S. Morel,5 P. Kervella,5 W. Traub,6 and M. Lacasse6 Received 2002 March 15; accepted 2002 July 3 ABSTRACT Nine bright O-rich Mira stars and five semiregular variable cool M giants have been observed with the Infrared and Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) interferometer in both K0 (2.15 lm) and L0 (3.8 lm) broad- band filters, in most cases at very close variability phases. All of the sample Mira stars and four of the semire- gular M giants show strong increases, from ’20% to ’100%, in measured uniform-disk (UD) diameters between the K0 and L0 bands. (A selection of hotter M stars does not show such a large increase.) There is no evidence that K0 and L0 broadband visibility measurements should be dominated by strong molecular bands, and cool expanding dust shells already detected around some of these objects are also found to be poor candi- dates for producing these large apparent diameter increases. Therefore, we propose that this must be a con- tinuum or pseudocontinuum opacity effect. Such an apparent enlargement can be reproduced using a simple two-component model consisting of a warm (1500–2000 K), extended (up to ’3 stellar radii), optically thin ( ’ 0:5) layer located above the classical photosphere.

  • 1903Apj 18. .3415 the SPECTRUM of O CETL' by Joel Stebbins. On
    .3415 18. 1903ApJ THE SPECTRUM OF o CETL' By Joel Stebbins. On account of the great instrumental power required for the observation of the spectra of faint objects, changes in the spectra of long-period variable stars have not been well studied. In fact, there is no star which undergoes a large variation in bright- ness whose spectrum has been systematically followed from maxi- mum to minimum, or vice versa. It is proposed to give here the results of a study of the spectrum of o Ceti> or Mira, made, at the suggestion of Director Campbell, with the thirty-six-inch refractor of the Lick Observatory, from June 1902 to January 1903. During this period the star faded in brightness from 3.8 to 9.0 magnitude. The first photograph of the spectrum was obtained about three weeks after the predicted time of maximum, and a series of plates was secured covering the interval to mini- mum. No negatives were obtained after the star had again begun to increase in brightness. The most important articles concerning the spectrum of Mira are those of Vogel,2 Sidgreaves,3 and Campbell.4 Neither Vogel nor Sidgreaves followed the star long enough to find much change in its spectrum, and Campbell’s work was mainly in con- nection with observations of the star for radial velocity, with the Mills spectrograph. INSTRUMENTS AND METHODS. The spectrograph used in my observations was the one employed rby Messrs.

  • Counting Gamma Rays in the Directions of Galaxy Clusters

We revisit this problem by using 52.5 months of Fermi-LAT data above 10 GeV and stacking 55 clusters from the HIFLUCGS sample of the X-ray brightest clusters. The choice of >10 GeV photons is optimal from the point of view of angular resolution, while the sample selection optimizes the chances of detecting signatures of neutral pion decay, arising from hadronic interactions of relativistic protons with an intracluster medium, which scale with the X-ray flux. In the stacked data we detected a signal for the central 0.25 deg circle at the level of 4.3σ. Evidence for a spatial extent of the signal is marginal. A subsample of cool-core clusters has a higher count rate of 1.9 ± 0.3 per cluster compared to the subsample of non-cool core clusters at 1.3 ± 0.2. Several independent arguments suggest that the contribution of AGNs to the observed signal is substantial, if not dominant.

  • Astrometrically Registered Maps of H2O and Sio Masers Toward VX Sagittarii
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04767-8 OPEN Astrometrically registered maps of H2O and SiO masers toward VX Sagittarii Dong-Hwan Yoon1,2, Se-Hyung Cho2,3, Youngjoo Yun2, Yoon Kyung Choi2, Richard Dodson4, María Rioja4,5, Jaeheon Kim6, Hiroshi Imai7, Dongjin Kim3, Haneul Yang1,2 & Do-Young Byun2 The supergiant VX Sagittarii is a strong emitter of both H2O and SiO masers. However, previous VLBI observations have been performed separately, which makes it difficult to 1234567890():,; spatially trace the outward transfer of the material consecutively. Here we present the astrometrically registered, simultaneous maps of 22.2 GHz H2O and 43.1/42.8/86.2/129.3 GHz SiO masers toward VX Sagittarii. The H2O masers detected above the dust-forming layers have an asymmetric distribution. The multi-transition SiO masers are nearly circular ring, suggesting spherically symmetric wind within a few stellar radii. These results provide the clear evidence that the asymmetry in the outflow is enhanced after the smaller molecular gas clump transform into the inhomogeneous dust layers. The 129.3 GHz maser arises from the outermost region compared to that of 43.1/42.8/86.2 GHz SiO masers. The ring size of the 129.3 GHz maser is maximized around the optical maximum, suggesting that radiative pumping is dominant. 1 Astronomy Program, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Seoul National University, 1 Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 08826, Korea. 2 Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, 776 Daedeokdae-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 34055, Korea. 3 Department of Astronomy, Yonsei University, 50 Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul 03722, Korea.

  • Broadband Spectral Modelling of Bent Jets of Active Galactic Nuclei Arxiv
    Broadband spectral modelling of bent jets of Active Galactic Nuclei A Thesis submitted to the University of Mumbai for the Ph. D. (SCIENCE) Degree in PHYSICS Submitted By B. Sunder Sahayanathan Under the Guidance of Dr. A. K. Mitra Astrophysical Sciences Division arXiv:1109.0618v2 [astro-ph.HE] 7 Sep 2011 Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Trombay, Mumbai - 400085 October 2010 In memory of my beloved grandma Josephine... Abstract The understanding of the physics of relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is still incomplete. A way to understand the different features of the AGN jets is to study it broadband spectra. In general, within the limits of present observations, AGN jets are observed in radio-to-X-ray energy band and they exhibit various intrinsic features such as knots. Particularly, the blazar jets which are pointed towards the observer, are observed in radio-to-γ-ray and their radio maps exhibit internal jet structures. Moreover, the high energy emission from blazars show rapid variability. In this thesis, models have been developed to study the radiation emission processes from the knots of AGN jets as well as for blazar jets. A continuous injection plasma model is devel- oped to study the X-ray emission from the knots of sources 1136-135, 1150+497, 1354+195 and 3C 371. The knot dynamics is then studied within the framework of internal shock model. In such a scenario, knots are formed due to the collision of two successive matter blobs emitted sporadically from the central engine of AGN. Shocks, generated in such col- lisions, accelerate electrons to relativistic energies.

The material is presented in three parts: one section provides the fundamental content of extragalactic astronomy, another section discusses modern discoveries in detail, and the last section summarizes the earlier discussions within the structure of the Big Bang Theory of Evolution. Each of the three sections is followed by student exercises and activities, laboratory projects, and questions and answers. The glossary contains unfamiliar terms used in the text and a collection of teacher aids such as literature references and audiovisual materials.

    Astronomy & Astrophysics Review manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Accurate masses and radii of normal stars: Modern results and applications G. Torres · J. Andersen · A. Gim´enez Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract This paper presents and discusses a critical compilation of accurate, fun- damental determinations of stellar masses and radii. We have identified 95 detached binary systems containing 190 stars (94 eclipsing systems, and α Centauri) that satisfy our criterion that the mass and radius of both stars be known to ±3% or better. All are non-interacting systems, so the stars should have evolved as if they were single. This sample more than doubles that of the earlier similar review by Andersen (1991), extends the mass range at both ends and, for the first time, includes an extragalactic binary. In every case, we have examined the original data and recomputed the stellar parameters with a consistent set of assumptions and physical constants. To these we add interstellar reddening, effective temperature, metal abundance, rotational velocity and apsidal motion determinations when available, and we compute a number of other physical parameters, notably luminosity and distance. These accurate physical parameters reveal the effects of stellar evolution with un- precedented clarity, and we discuss the use of the data in observational tests of stellar evolution models in some detail. Earlier findings of significant structural differences between moderately fast-rotating, mildly active stars and single stars, ascribed to the presence of strong magnetic and spot activity, are confirmed beyond doubt. We also show how the best data can be used to test prescriptions for the subtle interplay be- tween convection, diffusion, and other non-classical effects in stellar models.

  • The Jets in Radio Galaxies
    The jets in radio galaxies Martin John Hardcastle Churchill College September 1996 A dissertation submitted in candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Cambridge i `Glaucon: ª...But how did you mean the study of astronomy to be reformed, so as to serve our pur- poses?º Socrates: ªIn this way. These intricate traceries on the sky are, no doubt, the loveliest and most perfect of material things, but still part of the visibleworld, and therefore they fall far short of the true realities Ð the real relativevelocities,in theworld of purenumber and all geometrical ®gures, of the movements which carry round the bodies involved in them. These, you will agree, can be conceived by reason and thought, not by the eye.º Glaucon: ªExactly.º Socrates: ªAccordingly, we must use the embroidered heaven as a model to illustrateour study of these realities, just as one might use diagrams exquisitely drawn by some consummate artist like Daedalus. An expert in geometry, meeting with such designs, would admire their ®nished workmanship, but he wouldthink it absurd to studythem in all earnest with the expectation of ®nding in their proportionsthe exact ratio of any one number to another...º ' Ð Plato (429±347 BC), The Republic, trans.
