Underhill NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar Physics This colloquium/workshop has been sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and by the American Astronomical Society. We shall now begin three days of what I hope will prove to be invigorating talks and discussion. Today we will refresh our memories about the evidence for the deposition of non-radiative energy and momentum in stellar atmospheres. A useful question to ask is how much nonradiative energy and momentum is deposited in the atmospheres of different stars. Tomorrow we will review what has been established already by theory about the action of possible sources of nonradiative energy and momentum in the atmospheres of different stars. What are the possible sources of the additional energy and momentum deduced to be present in stellar atmosphere? What facilitates the transfer of energy and momentum from the source to the plasma? On Thursday we shall concentrate on the early-type stars and try to clarify our conception of what is going on. It is important to do this, particularly for stars having spectral types earlier than about B2 because it turns out that the empirically selected classification criteria for such spectral types are to a great extent influenced by the amount of nonradiative energy deposited in the atmosphere. Traditionally, one considers a spectral type to be uniquely determined by the radiation field, that is by Tef f. We can no longer assume this, however. We have had three forced cancellations which I am sure you will regret as much as I do: (I) Lawrence Aller has to go into hospital and therefore cannot be with us. Perhaps some of you would like to join in sending a "Get-Well" card to him; (2) Sidney Wolff, because of her obligations at Hawaii and at Kitt Peak cannot now join us, and (3) NASA has detailed Jim lonson to work in downtown Washington for the next three months. We shall miss all of these people; each contributed much to organizing this conference. Let us get to work. EVIDENCE FOR NON-RADIATIVE ACTIVITY IN HOT STARS J. P. Cassinelli Washburn Observatory, University of Wisconsin INTRODUCTION Early-type stars are extremely luminous and the stars don't have outer-convection zones that carry a significant fraction of the luminosity. As a result, stellar wind theorists have focused on radiation processes that are surely occuring in the outer atmospheres, such as radiative acceleration and radiative heating. At this meeting we are being asked to consider departures from the radiative model. The departures can be discovered in several ways. First, from a theoretical perspective we can push the radiative theory to its limits, including all processes likely to couple gas flow with the outward flow of radiation (Castor et al.

Received 1999 May 11; in original form 1998 June 25 ABSTRACT We present the results of a photographic and CCD imaging survey for Herbig±Haro (HH) objects in the L1630 and L1641 giant molecular clouds in Orion. The new HH flows were initially identified from a deep Ha film from the recently commissioned AAO/UKST Ha Survey of the southern sky. Our scanned Ha and broad-band R images highlight both the improved resolution of the Ha survey and the excellent contrast of the Ha flux with respect to the broad-band R. Comparative IVN survey images allow us to distinguish between emission and reflection nebulosity. Our CCD Ha,[Sii], continuum and I-band images confirm the presence of a parsec-scale HH flow associated with the Ori I-2 cometary globule, and several parsec-scale strings of HH emission centred on the L1641-N infrared cluster. Several smaller outflows display one-sided jets. Our results indicate that, for declinations south of 268 in L1641, parsec-scale flows appear to be the major force in the large-scale movement of optical dust and molecular gas.

We undertake a population synthesis study to compute the delay-time distribution of core-collapse supernovae, that is, the supernova rate versus time following a starburst, taking into account binary interactions. We test the systematic robustness of our results by running various simulations to account for the uncertainties in our standard assumptions. We find that +9 a significant fraction, 15−8%, of core-collapse supernovae are “late”, that is, they occur 50–200 Myr after birth, when all massive single stars have already exploded.

Gies, PhD ABSTRACT Massive stars are born in close binaries, and in the course of their evolution, the initially more massive star will grow and begin to transfer mass and angular momentum to the gainer star. The mass donor star will be stripped of its outer envelope, and it will end up as a faint, hot subdwarf star. Here I present a search for the subdwarf stars in Be binary systems using the International Ultraviolet Explorer. Through spectroscopic analysis, I detected the subdwarf star in HR 2142 and 60 Cyg. Further analysis led to the discovery of an additional 12 Be and subdwarf candidate systems. I also investigated the EL CVn binary system, which is the prototype of class of eclipsing binaries that consist of an A- or F-type main sequence star and a low mass subdwarf.

    JETS before, during, and after explosions and in powering intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs) Noam Soker Technion, Israel Abstract I will describe recent results on the role of JETS in exploding core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and in powering Intermediate Luminosity Optical Transients (ILOTs), and will compare the results with the most recent observations and with other theoretical studies. I will discuss new ideas of processes that become possible by jets, such as the jittering jets explosion mechanism of massive stars aided by neutrino heating, the formation of Type IIb CCSNe by the Grazing Envelope Evolution (GEE), and common envelope jets supernovae (CEJSNe). 1. Introduction JETS 2.

The compact companion launches the SN 1987A jets as it accretes mass from the giant progenitor. 2.2 Jets launched by a companion power pre-explosion outbursts Can be a main sequence companion as in the Great Eruption of Eta Carinae (Kashi, A. & Soker, N. in several papers). Can be a neutron star that enters the envelope (Gilkis, A., Kashi, A., Soker, N. 2019), or that accretes from the inflated envelope (Danieli, B. & Soker, N. 2019) 2.3 Type IIb supernovae by the grazing envelope evolution Jet-driven mass loss prevents common envelope and leads to the formation of a Type IIb supernova.

    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.

A MASSIVE BIPOLAR OUTFLOW AND A DUSTY TORUS WITH LARGE GRAINS IN THE PREPLANETARY NEBULA IRAS 22036+5306 R. Sahai,1 K. Young,2 N. A. Patel,2 C. Sa´nchez Contreras,3 and M. Morris4 Received 2006 June 19; accepted 2006 August 10 ABSTRACT We report high angular resolution (100)COJ ¼ 3Y2 interferometric mapping using the Submillimeter Array (SMA) of IRAS 22036+5306 (I22036), a bipolar preplanetary nebula (PPN) with knotty jets discovered in our HST snapshot survey of young PPNs. In addition, we have obtained supporting lower resolution (1000) CO and 13CO J ¼ 1Y0 observations with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) interferometer, as well as optical long-slit echelle spectra at the Palomar Observatory. The CO J ¼ 3Y2 observations show the presence of a very fast (220 km sÀ1), 39 À1 highly collimated, massive (0.03 M ) bipolar outflow with a very large scalar momentum (about 10 gcms ), and the characteristic spatiokinematic structure of bow shocks at the tips of this outflow. The H line shows an absorption feature blueshifted from the systemic velocity by 100 km sÀ1, which most likely arises in neutral interface material between the fast outflow and the dense walls of the bipolar lobes at low latitudes. The fast outflow in I22036, as in most PPNs, cannot be driven by radiation pressure. We find an unresolved source of submillimeter (and millimeter- wave) continuum emission in I22036, implying a very substantial mass (0.02Y0.04 M ) of large (radius k1 mm), cold (P50 K) dust grains associated with I22036’s toroidal waist.

Between 1933 and 1941, Stebbins and Whitford published seminal research on the photometry of stellar reddening, using the Washburn 15-inch refractor and the 60- and 100-inch reflectors at Mount Wilson Observatory. Many factors were responsible for the Washburn Observatory's pre-eminence in this area. l11is paper reviews their research on interstellar dust during the years 1922 58, the observational teclmology and scientific methods that were developed at the Washburn Observatory during that time and the scientific discoveries that originated there. We discuss the factors that enabled WashburnObservatory to become a leader in photometry during the first half of the twentieth century. We also draw on the recollections of past and present Washburn Observatory scientists1 to understand how Washburn's standing led to a subsequent programme of research into the interstellar medium at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The resulting portrayal of Washburn Observatory provides insights into the evolution of astronomical research in America, from the beginning of the hventieth cenh1ry until today.

We report the detection of a shell-like event in the Oe-type star HD 120678. Methods. HD 120678 has been intensively observed as part of a high-resolution spectroscopic monitoring program of southern Galactic O stars and Wolf-Rayet stars of the nitrogen sequence. Results. An optical spectrogram of HD 120678 obtained in June 2008 shows strong H and He i absorption lines instead of the double-peaked emission profiles observed both previously and subsequently, as well as a variety of previously undetected absorption features, mainly of O ii,Siiii and Fe iii.
