We aim, on the one hand, to study the possible differences of Li abundances between planet hosts and stars without detected planets at effective temperatures hotter than the Sun, and on the other hand, to explore the Li dip and the evolution of Li at high metallicities. Methods. We present lithium abundances for 353 main sequence stars with and without planets in the Teff range 5900–7200 K. We observed 265 stars of our sample with HARPS spectrograph during different planets search programs. We observed the remaining targets with a variety of high-resolution spectrographs.

  • HALOS, STARBURSTS, and SUPERBUBBLES in SPIRALS Joel
    HALOS, STARBURSTS, AND SUPERBUBBLES IN SPIRALS Joel N. Bregman Department of Astronomy, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1090 [email protected] ABSTRACT Detectable quantities of interstellar material are present in the halo of the Milky Way galaxy and in a few edge-on spiral galaxies, largely in the form of neutral atomic gas, warm ionized material, and cosmic rays. Theoretical and observational arguments suggest that million degree gas should be present also, so sensitive ROSAT observations have been made of the large nearby edge- on spiral galaxies for the purpose of detecting hot extraplanar gas. Of the six brightest non-starburst edge-on galaxies, three exhibit extraplanar X-ray emission: NGC 891, NGC 4631, and NGC 4565. In NGC 891, the extended emission has a density scale height of 7 kpc and an extent along the disk of 13 kpc in diameter. This component is close to hydrostatic equilibrium, has a luminosity of 4.4 • 1039 erg s -1, and a mass of 10s Mo. Extended and structured extraplanar hot gas is seen around the interacting edge-on spiral NGC 4631, with X-ray emission associated with a giant loop of Ha and HI emission; spurs of X- ray emission extending from the disk are seen also. Hot gas is expected to enter the halo through superbubble breakout, and a search for superbubbles in normal spiral galaxies have shown that these phenomena are present, but of low surface brightness and are detected in only a few instances. Unlike the normal spiral galaxies where the gas is bound to the systems, the hot gas in starburst galaxies is being expelled.

    Aimée Hall • Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, UK 1 Neptunes in the Noise: Improved Precision in Exoplanet Transit Detection SuperWASP is an established, highly successful ground-based survey that has already discovered over 80 exoplanets around bright stars. It is only with wide-field surveys such as this that we can find planets around the brightest stars, which are best suited for advancing our knowledge of exoplanetary atmospheres. However, complex instrumental systematics have so far limited SuperWASP to primarily finding hot Jupiters around stars fainter than 10th magnitude. By quantifying and accounting for these systematics up front, rather than in the post- processing stage, the photometric noise can be significantly reduced. In this paper, we present our methods and discuss preliminary results from our re-analysis. We show that the improved processing will enable us to find smaller planets around even brighter stars than was previously possible in the SuperWASP data. Such planets could prove invaluable to the community as they would potentially become ideal targets for the studies of exoplanet atmospheres. Alan Jackson • Arizona State University, USA 2 Stop Hitting Yourself: Did Most Terrestrial Impactors Originate from the Terrestrial Planets? Although the asteroid belt is the main source of impactors in the inner solar system today, it contains only 0.0006 Earth mass, or 0.05 Lunar mass. While the asteroid belt would have been much more massive when it formed, it is unlikely to have had greater than 0.5 Lunar mass since the formation of Jupiter and the dissipation of the solar nebula. By comparison, giant impacts onto the terrestrial planets typically release debris equal to several per cent of the planet’s mass.

  • The Cataclysmic Variable AE Aquarii: Orbital Variability in V Band
    The cataclysmic variable AE Aquarii: orbital variability in V band R. Zamanov & G. Latev Institute of Astronomy and National Astronomical Observatory, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Tsarigradsko Shose 72, BG-1784 Sofia, Bulgaria [email protected] [email protected] (Submitted on 28.11.2016. Accepted on 31.01.2017) Abstract. We present 62.7 hours observations of the cataclysmic variable AE Aqr in Johnson V band. These are non-published archive electro-photometric data obtained during the time period 1993 to 1999. We construct the orbital variability in V band and obtain a Fourier fit to the double-wave quiescent light curve. The strongest flares in our data set are in phase interval 0.6 - 0.8. The data can be downloaded from http://www.astro.bas.bg/∼rz/DATA/AEAqr.elphot.dat. Key words: Stars: novae, cataclysmic variables – Accretion, accretion disks – white dwarfs – Stars: individual: AE Aqr 1 Introduction AE Aqr is a bright intermediate polar cataclysmic variable (V ≈ 11−12.3). In this semi-detached binary system a spotted K type dwarf (K0-K4 IV/V star) transfers material through the inner Lagrangian point L1 toward a magnetic white dwarf (Skidmore et al. 2003, Hill et al. 2016). It has a relatively long orbital period of 9.88 hours (Robinson et al. 1991; Echevarr´ıa et al. 2008) and an extremely short rotational period of the white dwarf of only 33 s (Patterson et al. 1980). To appear in such a state, AE Aqr should be a former supersoft X-ray binary, in which the mass transfer rate in the recent past (≈ 107 yr) has been much higher than its current value (Schenker et al.

  • Lopsided Spiral Galaxies: Evidence for Gas Accretion

We quantify the degree of lopsidedness for a sample of 149 galaxies observed in the near-infrared from the OSUBGS sample, and try to explain the physical origin of the observed disk lopsidedness. We confirm previous studies, but for a larger sample, that a large fraction of galaxies have significant lopsidedness in their stellar disks, measured as the Fourier amplitude of the m = 1 component normalised to the average or m = 0 component in the surface density. Late-type galaxies are found to be more lopsided, while the presence of m = 2 spiral arms and bars is correlated with disk lopsidedness. We also show that the m = 1 amplitude is uncorrelated with the presence of companions. Numerical simulations were carried out to study the generation of m = 1viadifferent processes: galaxy tidal encounters, galaxy mergers, and external gas accretion with subsequent star formation. These simulations show that galaxy interactions and mergers can trigger strong lopsidedness, but do not explain several independent statistical properties of observed galaxies. To explain all the observational results, it is required that a large fraction of lopsidedness results from cosmological accretion of gas on galactic disks, which can create strongly lopsided disks when this accretion is asymmetrical enough.
