The study is devoted to search for flare stars among confirmed members of Galactic open clusters using high-cadence photometry from TESS mission. We analyzed 957 high-cadence light curves of members from 136 open clusters. As a result, 56 flare stars were found, among them 8 hot B-A type ob- jects. Of all flares, 63 % were detected in sample of cool stars (Teff < 5000 K), and 29 % { in stars of spectral type G, while 23 % in K-type stars and ap- proximately 34% of all detected flares are in M-type stars. -

A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short). -

Gas Accretion from Minor Mergers in Local Spiral Galaxies⋆

We developed a dedicated code that iteratively analyses Hi data-cubes, finds dwarf gas-rich satellites around larger galaxies, and estimates an upper limit to the gas accretion rate. We found that 22% of the galaxies have at least one detected dwarf companion. We made the very stringent assumption that all satellites are going to merge in the shortest possible time, transferring all their gas to the main galaxies. This leads to an estimate of the maximum gas accretion rate of −1 0.28 M yr , about five times lower than the average star formation rate of the sample. Given the assumptions, our accretion rate is clearly an overestimate. Our result strongly suggests that minor mergers do not play a significant role in the total gas accretion budget in local galaxies.

The Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) subset of the first Gaia catalogue contains an unprecedented sample of proper motions and parallaxes for two million stars brighter than G 12 mag. Aims. We take advantage of the full astrometric solution available∼ for those stars to identify the members of known open clusters and compute mean cluster parameters using either TGAS or the fourth U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC4) proper motions, and TGAS parallaxes. Methods. We apply an unsupervised membership assignment procedure to select high probability cluster members, we use a Bayesian/Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to fit stellar isochrones to the observed 2MASS JHKS magnitudes of the member stars and derive cluster parameters (age, metallicity, extinction, distance modulus), and we combine TGAS data with spectroscopic radial velocities to compute full Galactic orbits. -

Bordeaux, CNRS, B18N, allée Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 33615 Pessac, France Received 31 October 2018 / Accepted 26 January 2019 ABSTRACT Context. Open clusters are ideal laboratories to investigate a variety of astrophysical topics, from the properties of the Galactic disc to stellar-evolution models. Knowing their metallicity and possibly detailed chemical abundances is therefore important. However, the number of systems with chemical abundances determined from high-resolution spectroscopy remains small. Aims. Our aim is to increase the number of open clusters with radial velocities and chemical abundances determined from high- resolution spectroscopy using publicly available catalogues of surveys in combination with Gaia data. Methods. Open cluster stars have been identified in the APOGEE and GALAH spectroscopic surveys by cross-matching their latest data releases with stars for which high-probability astrometric membership has been derived in many clusters on the basis of the Gaia second data release. -

The Dusty Universe
The Dusty Universe Joe Weingartner (George Mason University) Our Milky Way Galaxy: a spiral galaxy M 83 NGC 4565 The Stellar Disk Radius ≈ 15 kpc (50,000 light-years) Most stars lie within ~ 300 pc of the midplane ~ 11 ~ 11 10 stars with total mass 10 M⊙ The Sun is about 8 kpc from the Galactic Center and 15 to 30 pc above the midplane. Striking evidence of the plane geometry of our galaxy in the night sky: the Milky Way band 1610: Galileo discovers the Milky Way is made up of stars 1750: Thomas Wright suggests a plane geometry of stars 1755: Kant elaborates and suggests that spiral nebulae are distant, rotating systems like the Milky Way The Interstellar Medium (ISM) Total mass ≈ 10% of that in stars Consists primarily of gas (dominated by H) Average H number density at Sun©s distance from Galactic Center: -3 n ≈ 1 cm H Regions of the ISM are categorized by the form of H: atomic, ionized, molecular 2 phases of atomic H: cool (T ~ 100 K, n ~ 30 cm-3) and H warm (T ~ 6000 K, n ~ 0.3 cm-3) H Dust accounts for ≈ 1% of the mass of the ISM Household dust: dead skin cells, clothing and paper fibers, pollen and other plant material, soil particles, dust mites and their feces (particle sizes < 500 m) Interstellar dust: Solid grains < 1 m in size; dominated by silicate and carbonaceous materials The ISM is much less conspicuous than stars: extremely low density => low surface brightness ISM emits largely in radio, infrared But, dust absorbs strongly in the visible; is responsible for the dark patches and rifts in the Milky Way (though not understood until the early 1900s).
