  • Abstract a Search for Extrasolar Planets Using Echoes Produced in Flare Events
    ABSTRACT A SEARCH FOR EXTRASOLAR PLANETS USING ECHOES PRODUCED IN FLARE EVENTS A detection technique for searching for extrasolar planets using stellar flare events is explored, including a discussion of potential benefits, potential problems, and limitations of the method. The detection technique analyzes the observed time versus intensity profile of a star’s energetic flare to determine possible existence of a nearby planet. When measuring the pulse of light produced by a flare, the detection of an echo may indicate the presence of a nearby reflective surface. The flare, acting much like the pulse in a radar system, would give information about the location and relative size of the planet. This method of detection has the potential to give science a new tool with which to further humankind’s understanding of planetary systems.

  • Project Icarus: Astronomical Considerations Relating to the Choice of Target Star
    Project Icarus: Astronomical Considerations Relating to the Choice of Target Star I. A. Crawford Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Birkbeck College London, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HX Abstract In this paper we outline the considerations required in order to select a target star system for the Icarus interstellar mission. It is considered that the maximum likely range for the Icarus vehicle will be 15 light‐years, and a list is provided of all known stars within this distance range. As the scientific objectives of Icarus are weighted towards planetary science and astrobiology, a final choice of target star(s) cannot be made until we have a clearer understanding of the prevalence of planetary systems within 15 light‐ years of the Sun, and we summarize what is currently known regarding planetary systems within this volume. We stress that by the time an interstellar mission such as Icarus is actually undertaken, astronomical observations from the solar system will have provided this information. Finally, given the high proportion of multiple star systems within 15 light‐years (including the closest of all stars to the Sun in the α Centauri system), we stress that a flexible mission architecture, able to visit stars and accompanying planets within multiple systems, is desirable. This paper is a submission of the Project Icarus Study Group. Keywords: Interstellar travel; nearby stars; extrasolar planets; astrobiology 1. Introduction The Icarus study is tasked with designing an interstellar space vehicle capable of making in situ scientific investigations of a nearby star and accompanying planetary system [1,2]. This paper outlines the considerations which will feed into the choice of the target star, the choice of which will be constrained by a number of factors.

  • Változócsillagok
    Szatmáry Károly Változócsillagok Azokat a csillagokat hívjuk változócsillagoknak, amelyeknek valamilyen jellemzőjük, fizikai paraméterük időben változik. Általában a fényesség változásáról van szó. A megfigyelésekből a színkép és/vagy a fényesség módosulását mérhetjük meg, és ennek okát kell felderítenünk. A változócsillagok vizsgálata azért fontos, azért nagy az asztrofizikai jelentőségük, mert esetükben nagyobb lehetőség nyílik adataik, tulajdonságaik meghatározására. A változásnak ugyanis oka van, ha ezt sikerül felderíteni, akkor ez több információt szolgáltat. Magyarországon a legsikeresebb, nagy hagyományokat felmutató, és nemzetközileg elismert csillagászati kutatási téma a változócsillagok tanulmányozása. Gyakorlatilag minden csillag ide sorolható, hiszen fejlődésük során folyamatosan változik minden jellemzőjük. Szigorúbb értelemben a legfeljebb napok, évek alatti változásokat mutató objektumokról van szó. A fényesség ingadozása a 0,0001 magnitúdós, még éppen detektálható értéktől a szupernóvák 20 magnitúdós felfényesedéséig terjed. A fényességmérés pontossága a Kepler űrtávcsővel már eléri a néhány százezred magnitúdót. Gyakorlatilag ezen a szinten minden csillag változónak bizonyul. Az 1985-ös Változócsillagok Általános Katalógusa (GCVS) a kiegészítésekkel mintegy 38000 csillagot tüntetett fel. Azóta több százezerrel nőtt az ismert változók száma, főleg a nagy földi megfigyelő programok beindulása, a számos űrtávcső mérései és a mérőberendezések (pl. CCD) érzékenységének növekedése miatt. Változócsillagok elnevezése, jelölése 3.1. táblázat: A 88 csillagkép. 3.2.táblázat: Változócsillagok jelölése. A Hattyú csillagképben felfedezett első változó neve: R Cygni (a csillagkép neve ilyenkor birtokos esetben szerepel, a Cygnus-ból így lesz Cygni). J-vel kezdődő jelölés nincs, nehogy az I-vel összekeverjék. A kétbetűs jeleknél a második nem előzheti meg az elsőt ABC szerint (3.2. táblázat). A QZ utáni változó jele V335. Több csillagképben sok ezer változócsillag van. Néhány fényes csillag esetében az eredeti, görög betűs jelét használjuk, pl.

  • Commodore Yelen Hererra Scowled at the Viewscreen, the Bitter Taste from Her Half-Smoked Cigar Still in Her Mouth Even Though She Had Thrown It Away Hours Ago
    SKYMARSHAL 10 The Armageddon War Chapter 1 "Only the dead have seen an end to War". Plato It was only 0630 in the morning and I was already ticked off. I hadn't even finished my first cup of coffee and things were going to hell in a hand basket (if you cannot tell, I am not a morning person). I took a sip from a personalized mug that said, "Piss me off, pay the consequences.” I looked up from my half-finished cup and glared at my flag lieutenant in irritation. Lieutenant Lefler was a typical Corporate Worlder who had been raised to his current level of incompetence in the Pan-Sentient Union Navy like more than half of the officers in the fleet; for political reasons. He sat in front of me, tall and pencil-thin, with his hands repeatedly smoothing his collar, his tie clip, tie, and buttons, and then placing his hands in his lap.....for about three seconds. He then began his hand-dance again. I figured I could watch him just a few more times before I bit his head off. Lefler's hands were making their dance for the fourth time. Four was my limit. I wanted to go over there and grab his hands and say, "Stop that!" but I guess that would be sorta rude, so I just said: "Lieutenant, why are you so twitchy this morning?" He looked at me, startled. "Excuse me, sir?" I motioned to his hands making their endless circuit. He blushed and promptly laid them in his lap; self-control at its best.

Despite numerous attempts, no exomoon has firmly been confirmed to date. New missions like CHEOPS aim to characterize previously detected exoplanets, and potentially to discover exomoons. In order to optimize search strategies, we need to determine those planets which are the most likely to host moons. We investigate the tidal evolution of hypothetical moon orbits in systems consisting of a star, one planet and one test moon. We study a few specific cases with ten billion years integration time where the evolution of moon orbits follows one of these three scenarios: (1) “locking”, in which the moon has a stable orbit on a long time scale (& 109 years); (2) “escape scenario” where the moon leaves the planet’s gravitational domain; and (3) “disruption scenario”, in which the moon migrates inwards until it reaches the Roche lobe and becomes disrupted by strong tidal forces.

  • Investigating Exoplanet Habitability and the Stellar Magnetism of Cool Stars Across Half the Southern Sky Via Superflares, Starspots, and Stellar Rotation
    INVESTIGATING EXOPLANET HABITABILITY AND THE STELLAR MAGNETISM OF COOL STARS ACROSS HALF THE SOUTHERN SKY VIA SUPERFLARES, STARSPOTS, AND STELLAR ROTATION Ward S. Howard A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Nicholas M. Law Andrew W. Mann Fabian Heitsch Reyco Henning Daniel M. Scolnic ©2021 Ward S. Howard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ward S. Howard: Investigating exoplanet habitability and the stellar magnetism of cool stars across half the Southern sky via superflares, starspots, and stellar rotation (Under the direction of Nicholas M. Law) Stellar flares are stochastic events that occur when a star's magnetic field re-connects, releasing intense radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. Rocky planets in the habitable zones of M-dwarfs are often subjected to superflares, events of at least 1033 erg and 10-1000× the energy of the largest solar flares. Frequent superflares can erode the ozone layer of an Earth-like atmosphere and allow lethal amounts of UV flux to reach the surface. Conversely, too few flares may result in insufficient UV radiation to power pre-biotic chemistry due to the inherent faintness of M-dwarfs in the UV. Cool stars are often found to exhibit superflares. Cool stars are the most common type of star, and are known to frequently host rocky planets. As a result, they may host most of the universe's Earth-size planets orbiting in the habitable zones of main sequence stars.

  • PHYSICS 1311 Lab Exercise #9 Plotting the H-R Diagram
    PHYSICS 1311 Lab Exercise #9 Plotting the H-R Diagram Introduction The development of astronomical instruments accurate enough to permit measurement of parallax angles for nearby stars opened the door for one of astronomy's most significant developments, a development that, for the first time, yielded some real understanding about the nature of stars. There are two properties of stars that we will use in this exercise - the absolute magnitude, or luminosity, and surface temperature of stars. The surface temperature is measured in Kelvins and is straightforward. Absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a star, or the amount of energy it radiates. When Henry Norris Russell and Einar Hertzsprung first plotted these two properties of nearby stars early in the 20th century, they produced a diagram known to this day as the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, or H-R Diagram for short. It was a revolution in the understanding of stars. To define absolute magnitude, we start with a star's apparent magnitude, or the brightness of the star as it appears in the night sky. Some stars are obviously bright and many others are faint. The ancient Greeks devised a simple system of ranking stars according to brightness; our current system has its origins in that ancient system. The Greeks defined 6 levels of brightness, with 1 being the brightest and 6 being the faintest. When instruments capable of measuring star brightness were developed, astronomers found that a magnitude 1 star was about 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star. This was convenient, so this brightness difference was then defined as exactly 100.
