Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. (Continued) 1. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements, the schedule of investments and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and liabilities of Catholic United Investment Trust – Money Market Fund, Short Bond Fund, Intermediate Diversified Bond Fund, Balanced Fund, Opportunistic Bond Fund, Value Equity Fund, Core Equity Index Fund, Growth Fund, International Equity Fund, and Small Capitalization Equity Index Fund as of December 31, 2014, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the financial highlights for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We look for common proper motion companions to stars of the nearby young β Pictoris moving group. Methods. First, we compiled a list of 185 β Pictoris members and candidate members from 35 representative works. Next, we used the Aladin and STILTS virtual observatory tools and the PPMXL proper motion and Washington Double Star catalogues to look for companion candidates. The resulting potential companions were subjects of a dedicated astro-photometric follow-up using public data from all-sky surveys. After discarding 67 sources by proper motion and 31 by colour-magnitude diagrams, we obtained a final list of 36 common proper motion systems. The binding energy of two of them is perhaps too small to be considered physically bound. Results. Of the 36 pairs and multiple systems, eight are new, 16 have only one stellar component previously classified as a β Pictoris member, and three have secondaries at or below the hydrogen-burning limit.

We derive the predicted period-magnitude (PM) and period-Wesenheit (PW) relations at the various photometric bands and we show that the slopes of these relations are in good agreement with the slopes determined by observed variables in Galactic globular clusters, independently of the adopted MV (RR)−[Fe/H] relation to get the cluster RR Lyrae-based distance. Moreover, we show that the distances provided by the predicted PM and PW relations for BL Her stars agree within the errors with the RR Lyrae-based values. Using the predicted relations with W Vir stars, which are Population II Cepheids with periods longer than 8 days, provides no clear evidence for or against a change in the PM and PW slopes around P ∼ 10 days.
  • The Rossiter–Mclaughlin Effect in Exoplanet Research

    The Rossiter–Mclaughlin Effect in Exoplanet Research

    The Rossiter–McLaughlin effect in Exoplanet Research Amaury H.M.J. Triaud Abstract The Rossiter–McLaughlin effect occurs during a planet’s transit. It pro- vides the main means of measuring the sky-projected spin–orbit angle between a planet’s orbital plane, and its host star’s equatorial plane. Observing the Rossiter– McLaughlin effect is now a near routine procedure. It is an important element in the orbital characterisation of transiting exoplanets. Measurements of the spin–orbit an- gle have revealed a surprising diversity, far from the placid, Kantian and Laplacian ideals, whereby planets form, and remain, on orbital planes coincident with their star’s equator. This chapter will review a short history of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect, how it is modelled, and will summarise the current state of the field before de- scribing other uses for a spectroscopic transit, and alternative methods of measuring the spin–orbit angle. Introduction The Rossiter–McLaughlin effect is the detection of a planetary transit using spec- troscopy. It appears as an anomalous radial-velocity variation happening over the Doppler reflex motion that an orbiting planet imparts on its rotating host star (Fig.1). The shape of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect contains information about the ratio of the sizes between the planet and its host star, the rotational speed of the star, the impact parameter and the angle l (historically called b, where b = −l), which is the sky-projected spin–orbit angle. The Rossiter–McLaughlin effect was first reported for an exoplanet, in the case of HD 209458 b, by Queloz et al.(2000).

    Kaspar von Braun & Tabetha S. Boyajian Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars July 25, 2017 arXiv:1707.07405v1 [astro-ph.EP] 24 Jul 2017 Springer Preface In astronomy or indeed any collaborative environment, it pays to figure out with whom one can work well. From existing projects or simply conversations, research ideas appear, are developed, take shape, sometimes take a detour into some un- expected directions, often need to be refocused, are sometimes divided up and/or distributed among collaborators, and are (hopefully) published. After a number of these cycles repeat, something bigger may be born, all of which one then tries to simultaneously fit into one’s head for what feels like a challenging amount of time. That was certainly the case a long time ago when writing a PhD dissertation. Since then, there have been postdoctoral fellowships and appointments, permanent and adjunct positions, and former, current, and future collaborators. And yet, con- versations spawn research ideas, which take many different turns and may divide up into a multitude of approaches or related or perhaps unrelated subjects. Again, one had better figure out with whom one likes to work. And again, in the process of writing this Brief, one needs create something bigger by focusing the relevant pieces of work into one (hopefully) coherent manuscript. It is an honor, a privi- lege, an amazing experience, and simply a lot of fun to be and have been working with all the people who have had an influence on our work and thereby on this book. To quote the late and great Jim Croce: ”If you dig it, do it.

The Wolf-Rayet stars represent the most extreme example studied of an interaction between aerodynamic motions and a radia- tion field to produce a high temperature, large- scale plasma in a steady but non-equilibrium state. As such these stars provide a perfect example of the kind of gaseous ensemble that JILA was created to study. In order to understand them, we require a knowledge of gases with temperatures between 10** and 10 °K and differential velocities between 0 and 10^ km/sec.

    Baltic Astronomy, vol. 6, 499-572, 1997. CLASSIFICATION OF POPULATION II STARS IN THE VILNIUS PHOTOMETRIC SYSTEM. II. RESULTS A. Bartkevicius1 and R. Lazauskaite1 '2 1 Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, Gostauto 12, Vilnius 2600, Lithuania 2 Department of Theoretical Physics, Vilnius Pedagogical University, Studenty. 39, Vilnius 2340, Lithuania Received April 20, 1997. Abstract. The results of photometric classification of 848 true and suspected Population II stars, some of which were found to be- long to Population I, are presented. The stars were classified using a new calibration described in Paper I (Bartkevicius & Lazauskaite 1996). We combine these results with our results from Paper I and discuss in greater detail the following groups of stars: UU Herculis-type stars and other high-galactic-latitude supergiants, field red horizontal-branch stars, metal-deficient visual binaries, metal- deficient subgiants, stars from the Catalogue of Metal-deficient F-M Stars Classified Photometrically (MDPH; Bartkevicius 1993) and stars from one of the HIPPARCOS programs (Bartkevicius 1994a). It is confirmed that high galactic latitude supergiants from the Bartaya (1979) catalog are giants or even dwarfs. Some stars, identified by Rose (1985) and Tautvaisiene (1996a) as field RHB stars, appear to be ordinary giants according to our classification. Some of the visual binaries studied can be considered as physical pairs. Quite a large fraction of stars from the MDPH catalog are found to have solar metallicity. A number of new possible UU Herculis-type stars, RHB stars and metal-deficient subgiants are identified. Key words: techniques: photometric - stars: fundamental para- meters (classification) - stars: Population II 500 A.

    Observer Constellations 1 Volume 8 Issue 6 April 2019 Hidden Gems of the Night sky Learn how to spot any constellation with the naked eye and find what’s written in the stars... Long before the creation of the modern-day calendar, humans used constellations to remember the stars’ positions as a way to tell time recognizing that certain constellations appeared during different times of the year. Farmers, especially, found these patterns useful because they knew when to harvest crops and when to plant them based on which constellations they saw for that season. Navigators, on the other hand, could always figure their latitude just by looking at how high the North Star, Polaris, appeared in the sky. While remembering constellations had its practical uses, people from all cultures enjoyed observing constellations and naming them based on mythological deities, animals, and objects. From there on, they would use constellations to tell stories about them with each culture offering a unique interpretation for each constellation. Today, astronomers have used constellations to divide the night sky which allows them to classify each star according to the constellation it belongs to. As you can see, people don’t need equipment to see constellations when in fact, they can stargaze just like their ancestors, and it’s not that difficult to get started. With that said, here is a comprehensive beginner’s guide on stargazing and navigating the night sky for constellations.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES H ARLO W S HAPLEY 1885—1972 A Biographical Memoir by BART J. BOK Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1978 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. HARLOW SHAPLEY November 2,1885-October 20,1972 BY BART J. BOK ARLOW SHAPLEY was born November 2, 1885, on a farm H five miles from Nashville, Missouri. He was one of fra- ternal twins. Besides his twin, Horace, he had one older sister, Lillian, and a younger brother, John. He went to school in Jasper, Missouri, but he did not go at first beyond elementary school; he and his brother John had a brief period in a normal school, where they were only permitted to take a business course. At the time when most boys would go to high school, Harlow studied by himself at home. He had one year of early schooling in Hampton, New York, where he went on a family visit. At the age of fifteen he became a crime reporter for the Daily Sun in Chanute, Kansas, and he also worked off and on as a police reporter for the Joplin (Missouri) Times. He learned to take notes in shorthand, which, in later life, became a -medium of communication between him and his wife. In Chanute he found a Carnegie library, and there he really started reading and studying on his own. When funds became available, he and his younger brother, John, decided to go to Carthage High School, a prestigious school located in the nearest city to Nash- ville, Missouri.
