    Spitzer IRS Spectroscopy of IRAS-Discovered Debris Disks1 C. H. Chen2,3, B. A. Sargent4, C. Bohac4, K. H. Kim4, E. Leibensperger5, M. Jura6, J. Najita2, W. J. Forrest4, D. M. Watson4, G. C. Sloan7, L. D. Keller5 ABSTRACT We have obtained Spitzer Space Telescope IRS 5.5 - 35 µm spectra of 59 main sequence stars that possess IRAS 60 µm excess. The spectra of five objects possess spectral features that are well-modeled using micron-sized grains and silicates with crystalline mass fractions 0% - 80%, consistent with T-Tauri and Herbig AeBe stars. With the exception of η Crv, these objects are young with ages 50 Myr. Our fits require the presence of a cool black body continuum, ≤ Tgr = 80 - 200 K, in addition to hot, amorphous and crystalline silicates, Tgr = 290 - 600 K, suggesting that multiple parent body belts are present in some debris disks, analogous to the asteroid and Kuiper belts in our solar system. The spectra for the majority of objects are featureless, suggesting that the emitting grains probably have radii a > 10 µm. We have modeled the excess continua using a continuous disk with a uniform surface density distribution, expected if Poynting-Robertson and stellar wind drag are the dominant grain removal processes, and using a single temperature black body, expected if the dust is located in a narrow ring around the star. The IRS spectra of many objects are better modeled with a single temperature black body, suggesting that the disks possess inner holes. The distribution of grain temperatures, based on our black body fits, peaks at Tgr = 110 - 120 K.

Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT We compile a sample of 341 binary and multiple star systems with the aim of searching for and characterising Kuiper belt-like debris discs. The sample is as- sembled by combining several smaller samples studied in previously published work with targets from two unpublished Herschel surveys. We find that 38 sys- tems show excess emission at 70 or 100 µm suggestive of a debris disc. While nine of the discs appear to be unstable to perturbations from their host binary based on a simple analysis of their inferred radii, we argue that the evidence for genuine instability is not strong, primarily because of uncertainty in the true disc radii, uncertainty in the boundaries of the unstable regions, and orbital projec- tion effects. The binary separation distributions of the disc-bearing and disc-free systems are different at a confidence level of 99:4%, indicating that binary sep- aration strongly influences the presence of detectable levels of debris.

  • 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).

  • A Planetary System from the Early Universe 27 March 2012
    A planetary system from the early Universe 27 March 2012 This suggests a key question: Originally, the universe contained almost no chemical elements other than hydrogen and helium. Almost all heavier elements have been produced, over time inside stars, and then flung into space as massive stars end their lives in giant explosions (supernovae). So what about planet formation under conditions like those of the very early universe, say: 13 billion years ago? If metal-rich stars are more likely to form planets, are there, conversely, stars with a metal content so low that they cannot form planets at all? And if the answer is yes, then when, throughout cosmic history, should we expect the Artist's impression of HIP 11952 and its two Jupiter-like very first planets to form? planets. Image: Timotheos Samartzidis Now a group of astronomers, including researchers from the Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, has discovered a planetary A group of European astronomers has discovered system that could help provide answers to those an ancient planetary system that is likely to be a questions. As part of a survey targeting especially survivor from one of the earliest cosmic eras, 13 metal-poor stars, they identified two giant planets billion years ago. The system consists of the star around a star known by its catalogue number as HIP 11952 and two planets, which have orbital HIP 11952, a star in the constellation Cetus ("the periods of 290 and 7 days, respectively. Whereas whale" or "the sea monster") at a distance of about planets usually form within clouds that include 375 light-years from Earth.

  • A Blast Wave from the 1843 Eruption of Eta Carinae
    1 A Blast Wave from the 1843 Eruption of Eta Carinae Nathan Smith* *Astronomy Department, University of California, 601 Campbell Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720-3411 Very massive stars shed much of their mass in violent precursor eruptions [1] as luminous blue variables (LBVs) [2] before reaching their most likely end as supernovae, but the cause of LBV eruptions is unknown. The 19th century eruption of Eta Carinae, the prototype of these events [3], ejected about 12 solar masses at speeds of 650 km/s, with a kinetic energy of almost 1050ergs[4]. Some faster material with speeds up to 1000-2000 km/s had previously been reported [5,6,7,8] but its full distribution was unknown. Here I report observations of much faster material with speeds up to 3500-6000 km/s, reaching farther from the star than the fastest material in earlier reports [5]. This fast material roughly doubles the kinetic energy of the 19th century event, and suggests that it released a blast wave now propagating ahead of the massive ejecta. Thus, Eta Carinae’s outer shell now mimics a low-energy supernova remnant. The eruption has usually been discussed in terms of an extreme wind driven by the star’s luminosity [2,3,9,10], but fast material reported here suggests that it was powered by a deep-seated explosion rivalling a supernova, perhaps triggered by the pulsational pair instability[11]. This may alter interpretations of similar events seen in other galaxies. Eta Carinae [3] is the most luminous and the best studied among LBVs [1,2].
