  • The Puzzling Nature of Dwarf-Sized Gas Poor Disk Galaxies

However, later disk signatures were revealed in some of them. In fact, it is still disputed whether they follow photometric scaling relations similar to giant elliptical galaxies or whether they are rather formed in transformations of late- type galaxies induced by the galaxy cluster environment. The early-type dwarf galaxies are the most abundant galaxy type in clusters, and their low-mass make them susceptible to processes that let galaxies evolve. Therefore, they are well- suited as probes of galaxy evolution. In this thesis we explore possible relationships and evolutionary links of early- type dwarfs to other galaxy types. We observed a sample of 121 galaxies and obtained deep near-infrared images. For analyzing the morphology of these galaxies, we apply two-dimensional multicomponent fitting to the data. This is done for the first time for a large sample of early-type dwarfs. A large fraction of the galaxies is shown to have complex multicomponent structures.

The observational material consists of CCD images of four 36 × 36 arcmin2 fields obtained with the MOSAIC II camera at the Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory. Our present work supersedes previous Antlia studies in the sense that the covered area is four times larger, the limiting magnitude is MB ∼−9.6 mag, and the surface photometry parameters of each galaxy are derived from Sersic´ model fits extrapolated to infinity. In a companion previous study we focused on the scaling relations obtained by means of surface photometry, and now we present the data, on which the previous paper is based, the parameters of the isophotal fits as well as an isophotal analysis.

  • Binary Star Modeling: a Computational Approach
    TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XIV APRIL 2012 BINARY STAR MODELING: A COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH Author: Daniel Silano Faculty Sponsor: R. J. Pfeiffer, Department of Physics ABSTRACT This paper illustrates the equations and computational logic involved in writing BinaryFactory, a program I developed in Spring 2011 in collaboration with Dr. R. J. Pfeiffer, professor of physics at The College of New Jersey. This paper outlines computational methods required to design a computer model which can show an animation and generate an accurate light curve of an eclipsing binary star system. The final result is a light curve fit to any star system using BinaryFactory. An example is given for the eclipsing binary star system TU Muscae. Good agreement with observational data was obtained using parameters obtained from literature published by others. INTRODUCTION This project started as a proposal for a simple animation of two stars orbiting one another in C++. I found that although there was software that generated simple animations of binary star orbits and generated light curves, the commercial software was prohibitively expensive or not very user friendly. As I progressed from solving the orbits to generating the Roche surface to generating a light curve, I learned much about computational physics. There were many trials along the way; this paper aims to explain to the reader how a computational model of binary stars is made, as well as how to avoid pitfalls I encountered while writing BinaryFactory. Binary Factory was written in C++ using the free C++ libraries, OpenGL, GLUT, and GLUI. A basis for writing a model similar to BinaryFactory in any language will be presented, with a light curve fit for the eclipsing binary star system TU Muscae in the final secion.

Integrated (C − T1) colours, T1 magnitudes, and effective radii have been measured for 93 galaxies (i.e. the largest galaxies sample in the Washington system till now) from the FS90 Antlia Group catalogue. Membership of 37 objects can be confirmed through new radial velocities and data collected from the literature. The resulting colour– magnitude diagram shows that early-type FS90 galaxies that are spectroscopically confirmed Antlia members or that were considered as definite members by FS90, follow a well-defined σ ∼ .

  • TU Muscae and the Early-Type Overcontact Binaries Dirk Terrell Department of Space Studies, Southwest Research Institute, Boulde
    Exotic Stars as Challenges to Evolution ASP Conference Series, Vol. 279, 2002 C. A. Tout and W. Van Hamme, eds. TU Muscae and the Early-type Overcontact Binaries Dirk Terrell Department of Space Studies, Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, CO 80301, USA Abstract. A simultaneous photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the purported early-type overcontact binary TU Muscae is presented. With a well-behaved light curve and a mass ratio far from unity, if TU Mus is indeed an overcontact system, it presents an interesting chal­ lenge for 3-D stellar evolution codes, like the Djehuty code, that will be applied to early-type overcontact binaries. The analysis shows TU Mus is slightly overcontact and that a detailed treatment of the reflection effect is important for modeling the light curves. 1. Introduction One of the major unresolved issues in close binary star research is the structure and evolution of overcontact binaries.1 After approximately a decade of vigorous research from the late 1960's to the late 1970's, precipitated by Lucy's (1968) seminal paper on the subject, progress on understanding these stars has slowed. There are probably many reasons for this lack of progress, but the main one is that the necessary computing power to model these stars in three dimensions has only recently been developed. A full treatment of overcontact binaries will re­ quire a 3-D code capable of modeling the hydrodynamics, energy transport, and probably the magnetic fields present. Such a code, called Djehuty, is currently under development at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory by Peter Eggleton and his LLNL colleagues, and will be applied to modeling overcontact binaries.
