  • Arxiv:0908.2624V1 [Astro-Ph.SR] 18 Aug 2009
    Astronomy & Astrophysics Review manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Accurate masses and radii of normal stars: Modern results and applications G. Torres · J. Andersen · A. Gim´enez Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract This paper presents and discusses a critical compilation of accurate, fun- damental determinations of stellar masses and radii. We have identified 95 detached binary systems containing 190 stars (94 eclipsing systems, and α Centauri) that satisfy our criterion that the mass and radius of both stars be known to ±3% or better. All are non-interacting systems, so the stars should have evolved as if they were single. This sample more than doubles that of the earlier similar review by Andersen (1991), extends the mass range at both ends and, for the first time, includes an extragalactic binary. In every case, we have examined the original data and recomputed the stellar parameters with a consistent set of assumptions and physical constants. To these we add interstellar reddening, effective temperature, metal abundance, rotational velocity and apsidal motion determinations when available, and we compute a number of other physical parameters, notably luminosity and distance. These accurate physical parameters reveal the effects of stellar evolution with un- precedented clarity, and we discuss the use of the data in observational tests of stellar evolution models in some detail. Earlier findings of significant structural differences between moderately fast-rotating, mildly active stars and single stars, ascribed to the presence of strong magnetic and spot activity, are confirmed beyond doubt. We also show how the best data can be used to test prescriptions for the subtle interplay be- tween convection, diffusion, and other non-classical effects in stellar models.

Box 9, Observatory 7935, South Africa 6 Universe Cluster, Technische Universit¨at M¨unchen, Boltzmannstraße 2, D-85748, Garching, Germany ABSTRACT Context. Photometric observations for the OGLE-II microlens monitoring campaign have been taken in the period 1997−2000. All light curves of this campaign have recently been made public. Our analysis of these data has revealed 13 low-amplitude transiting objects among ∼15700 stars in three Carina fields towards the galactic disk. One of these objects, OGLE2-TR-L9 (P∼2.5 days), turned out to be an excellent transiting planet candidate. Aims. In this paper we report on our investigation of the true nature of OGLE2-TR-L9, by re-observing the photometric transit with the aim to determine the transit parameters at high precision, and by spectroscopic observations, to estimate the properties of the host star, and to determine the mass of the transiting object through radial velocity measurements.

This price Saturday delivery. adjustment, if approved by the PRC, will be effective on Jan. 21, 2018. Non-Competitive Products Price adjustments for Non-Competitive Products as an overall percentage basis by mail class average about 1.9%. Individual price categories within each class of mail listed below will have varying percentage increases, some greater than the overall percentage increase. In fact, some price categories will actually see a decrease in pricing. The new prices, if approved, include a one cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp from 49 cents to 50 cents. Postcard stamps and metered letters would also have a one cent increase. The USPS filing does not include any price change for single-piece letters being mailed to international destinations or for additional ounces for letters. Competitive Products In contrast, prices for Competitive Products and services will increase by about 4%. The USPS requested an overall 3.9% increase for Priority Mail Express. Retail prices will increase an average of 3.9%, while Commer- cial Base prices increase an average of 3.7% and Com- While Mailing Services price increases are mercial Plus by 3.7%.
