Original Russian Text Copyright © 2000 by Kondrat’ev. Dynamics and Stability of Resonant Rings in Galaxies B. P. Kondrat’ev Udmurt State University, Krasnoarmeœskaya ul. 71, Izhevsk, 426034 Russia Received December 24, 1998 Abstract—We have developed a model for a spheroidal, ring-shaped galaxy. The stars move in a ring with an elliptical cross section at the 1 : 1 frequency resonance. The shape of the cross section of the equilibrium ring depends on the oblateness of the galaxy itself, so that the ellipse of the ring cross section is radially extended when the oblateness of the galaxy is small. If the oblateness of galaxy exceeds some critical value, the ellipse cross section is extended along the Ox3 axis. The shape of the ring cross section is circular for a galaxy with critical eccentricity. The stability of the ring over a wide range of perturbations is studied. A fundamental bicu- bic dispersion equation for the frequencies of small oscillations of a perturbed ring is derived. Application of the model to the ring galaxy NGC 7020 shows that its ring cross section should be approximately circular. Anal- ysis of the dispersion equation demonstrates that stellar orbits in the arm are unstable (but the instability incre- ment is small). We conclude that stars in the ring of this galaxy should drift from the 1 : 1 resonance, and the ring itself should evolve. © 2000 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”. 1.

We want to study the effects of the formation of planets and planetary systems on the atmospheric Li abundance of planet host stars. Methods. In this work we present new determinations of lithium abundances for 326 main sequence stars with and without planets in the Teff range 5600–5900 K. The 277 stars come from the HARPS sample, the remaining targets were observed with a variety of high-resolution spectrographs. Results. We confirm significant differences in the Li distribution of solar twins (Teff = T ± 80 K, log g = log g ± 0.2and[Fe/H] = [Fe/H] ±0.2): the full sample of planet host stars (22) shows Li average values lower than “single” stars with no detected planets (60).

It demonstrates how a heuristic of spiralic temporality helps us see relationships and purposes the settler temporal structure aims to make not just invisible, but unthinkable. “Spiralic temporality” refers to an Indigenous experience of time that is informed by a people’s particular relationships to the seasonal cycles on their lands, and which acknowledges the present generations’ responsibilities to the ancestors and those not yet born. The four chapters discuss the Pacific Northwest Fish Wars, several generations of Native women activism, Idle No More, and the No Dakota Access Pipeline movement respectively. Through a discussion of literatures from the same place, the heuristic helps make visible how the place- based values, which the movements I discuss are fighting for, are both as old as time and adapted to the current moment.
