  • Interstellar Medium Sculpting of the HD 32297 Disk
    DRAFT VERSION MAY 31, 2018 Preprint typeset using LATEX style emulateapj v. 7/15/03 INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM SCULPTING OF THE HD 32297 DEBRIS DISK JOHN H. DEBES1,2,ALYCIA J. WEINBERGER3, MARC J. KUCHNER1 Draft version May 31, 2018 ABSTRACT We detect the HD 32297 debris disk in scattered light at 1.6 and 2.05 µm. We use these new observations together with a previous scattered light image of the disk at 1.1 µm to examine the structure and scattering efficiency of the disk as a function of wavelength. In addition to surface brightness asymmetries and a warped morphology beyond ∼1.′′5 for one lobe of the disk, we find that there exists an asymmetry in the spectral features of the grains between the northeastern and southwestern lobes. The mostly neutral color of the disk lobes imply roughly 1 µm-sized grains are responsible for the scattering. We find that the asymmetries in color and morphology can plausibly be explained by HD 32297’s motion into a dense ISM cloud at a relative velocity of15kms−1. We modeltheinteractionofdustgrainswith HIgasin thecloud. We argue that supersonic ballistic drag can explain the morphology of the debris disks of HD 32297, HD 15115, and HD 61005.

    Probing Noncommutative Gravity with Gravitational Wave and Binary Pulsar Observations Leah Jenks,1 Kent Yagi,2 and Stephon Alexander1 1Brown Theoretical Physics Center and Department of Physics, Brown University, 182 Hope Street, Providence, Rhode Island, 02903 2Department of Physics, University of Virginia, P.O. Box 400714, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4714, USA (Dated: July 21, 2020) Noncommutative gravity is a natural method of quantizing spacetime by promoting the spacetime coordinates themselves to operators which do not commute. This approach is motivated, for exam- ple, from a quantum gravity perspective, among others. Noncommutative gravity has been tested against the binary black hole merger event GW150914. Here, we extend and improve upon such a previous analysis by (i) relaxing an assumption made on the preferred direction due to noncommuta- tivity, (ii) using posterior samples produced by the LIGO/Virgo Collaborations, (iii) consider other gravitational wave events, namely GW151226, GW170608, GW170814 and GW170817, and (iv) consider binary pulsar observations. Using Kepler's law that contains the noncommutative effect at second post-Newtonian order, we derive corrections to the gravitational waveform phase and the pericenter precession. Using the gravitational wave and double pulsar binary observations, we find bounds on a space-time noncommutative tensor θ0i in terms of the preferred frame direction with respect to the orientation of each binary. We find that the gravitational wave bounds are stronger than the binary pulsar one by an order of magnitude and the noncommutative tensor normalized by the Planck length and time is constrained to be of order unity. I. INTRODUCTION of noncommutative gravity stems from these theories.

Østensen Subaru and SALT spectroscopy of chemically peculiar hot subdwarfs https://doi.org/10.1515/astro-2017-0439 Received Oct 16, 2017; accepted Nov 06, 2017 Abstract: The majority of hot subdwarfs lie on or close to the helium main-sequence. Many have hydrogen-rich surfaces, but a substantial fraction of the hotter subdwarfs have hydrogen-depleted or hydrogen-deficient surfaces. Amongst the former, three were known to show extraordinary overabundances of heavy elements including zirconium and lead. Using Subaru/HDS, we commenced a high-resolution survey of hydrogen-depleted subdwarfs to discover new members of the class. UVO 0825+15, was found to exhibit strong lead lines, to be an intrinsic variable in K2 field 5, and to have a relatively high space motion.

  • 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).

    The Nearby, Young, Argus Association: Membership, Age, and Dusty Debris Disks B. Zuckerman1 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The reality of a field Argus Association has been doubted in some papers in the literature. We apply Gaia DR2 data to stars previously suggested to be Argus members and conclude that a true association exists with age 40-50 Myr and containing many stars within 100 pc of Earth; β Leo and 49 Cet are two especially interesting members. Based on youth and proximity to Earth, Argus is one of the better nearby moving groups to target in direct imaging programs for dusty debris disks and young planets. PACS numbers: 97.10.Tk arXiv:1811.01508v1 [astro-ph.SR] 5 Nov 2018 The Nearby, Young, Argus Association: Membership, Age, and Dusty Debris Disks 2 1. Introduction The solar vicinity is blessed with an assortment of youthful stars with ages that span the range 10 to 200 Myr. Within 100 pc of Earth a dozen or so coeval, co-moving groups were identified (Mamajek 2016) prior to the release of the Gaia DR2 catalog (Gaia Colaboration et al 2018; Lindegren et al 2018). Many nearby stars exist that appear to be youthful but have not been placed into any of these groups. With the help of Gaia, new kinematic groups can be identified. As recently as 20 years ago only a handful of youthful stars with reasonably reliable ages were known within 100 pc of Earth. With Gaia and appropriate follow-up observations, it now appears likely that a few 1000 will ultimately be identified.

    NOVA REPORTNOVA 2006 - 2007 NOVA REPORT 2006-2007 Illustration on the front cover The cover image shows a composite image of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). This object is the brightest radio source in the sky, and has been created by a supernova explosion about 330 year ago. The star itself had a mass of around 20 times the mass of the sun, but by the time it exploded it must have lost most of the outer layers. The red and green colors in the image are obtained from a million second observation of Cas A with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The blue image is obtained with the Very Large Array at a wavelength of 21.7 cm. The emission is caused by very high energy electrons swirling around in a magnetic field. The red image is based on the ratio of line emission of Si XIII over Mg XI, which brings out the bi-polar, jet-like, structure. The green image is the Si XIII line emission itself, showing that most X-ray emission comes from a shell of stellar debris. Faintly visible in green in the center is a point-like source, which is presumably the neutron star, created just prior to the supernova explosion. Image credits: Creation/compilation: Jacco Vink. The data were obtained from: NASA Chandra X-ray observatory and Very Large Array (downloaded from Astronomy Digital Image Library http://adil.ncsa.uiuc. edu).
