HULL3 'Auckland Observatory, Auckland, New Zealand Electronic matt [email protected] 'Variable Star Section, RASNZ Electronic mail: [email protected] 'Variable Star Section, RASNZ Abstract: A cummulative index to the first twenty issues of the Publications of the Variable Star Section (R. A.S.N.Z.) covering the period 1973 to 1995 is presented. 1. EXPLANATION The following index is divided into three sections. The first part is the index to Individual Stars, the second part is the Subject Index and the third part is the Author Index. In all sections, each entry consists of the title of the paper followed by the list of authors, the Publication number in parentheses, the page number and finally the nominal year of publication, also in parentheses. Within the list of individual stars, ordering is by the standard three letter abbreviation for the constellation and then alphabetically within each constellation. A small number of stars identified by a CSV, NSV or CPD number, for exmaple, have been included at the start of the list. The keyword that was used for indexing the Subject Index is followed by a double colon (::). In the Subject Index, subdivisions of the U Gem type (such as SU UMa, SS Cyg, Z Cam) are shown as individual entries. The topics used for coding the Subject Index are those used by the original authors and in some cases these terms have been superceded by revisions in the nomenclature and classification of variable stars. Since the first issue of the Publications appeared in 1973, over 1520 pages have been published in 20 issues recording 187 scientific papers and 37 other articles. There were 48 contributing authors. 2 GENERAL INDEX INDIVIDUAL STARS 3A-1431-409:: PHOTOELECTRIC PHOTOMETRY OF V532 DH AQL:: CENTAURI & SOME NEARBY STARS. - Marino BF, Walker PHOTOELECTRIC UBV SEQUENCES FOR SOUTHERN DWARF WSG.

Naidu, Deputy Registrar, Geographical Indications, confirmed that the GI tag had been given for the two-products Manipur black rice and Gorakhpur terracotta. About Manipur black rice • It is also known as Chak-Hao (Black Rice). • It is scented glutinous rice, which has been in cultivation in Manipur over centuries, is characterized by its distinctive aroma. • It is usually eaten during community feasts and is served as Chak-Hao kheer. • Traditional medical practitioners have also used it as part of traditional medicine. • This rice takes the longest cooking time of 40-45 minutes due to the presence of a fibrous bran layer and higher crude fiber content. About Gorakhpur terracotta • It is a centuries-old traditional art form, where the potters make various animal figures like horses, elephants, camel, goat, and ox with hand-applied ornamentation. • Some of the major products of craftsmanship include the Hauda elephants, Mahawatdar horse, deer, camel, five-faced Ganesha, singled-faced Ganesha, elephant table, chandeliers, and hanging bells. What is Terracotta? • It is a type of ceramic pottery which is often used for pipes, bricks, and sculptures. 2 www.gradeup.co • Terracotta pottery is made by baking terracotta clay. • The terracotta color is a natural brown orange. What is a Geographical Indication? • A GI or Geographical Indication is a name, or a sign given to certain products that relate to a specific geographical location or origins like a region, town, or country.

  • Appendix 1 Some Astrophysical Reminders
    Appendix 1 Some Astrophysical Reminders Marc Ollivier 1.1 A Physics and Astrophysics Overview 1.1.1 Star or Planet? Roughly speaking, we can say that the physics of stars and planets is mainly governed by their mass and thus by two effects: 1. Gravitation that tends to compress the object, thus releasing gravitational energy 2. Nuclear processes that start as the core temperature of the object increases The mass is thus a good parameter for classifying the different astrophysical objects, the adapted mass unit being the solar mass (written Ma). As the mass decreases, three categories of objects can be distinguished: ∼ 1. if M>0.08 Ma ( 80MJ where MJ is the Jupiter mass) the mass is sufficient and, as a consequence, the gravitational contraction in the core of the object is strong enough to start hydrogen fusion reactions. The object is then called a “star” and its radius is proportional to its mass. 2. If 0.013 Ma <M<0.08 Ma (13 MJ <M<80 MJ), the core temperature is not high enough for hydrogen fusion reactions, but does allow deuterium fu- sion reactions. The object is called a “brown dwarf” and its radius is inversely proportional to the cube root of its mass. 3. If M<0.013 Ma (M<13 MJ) the temperature a the center of the object does not permit any nuclear fusion reactions. The object is called a “planet”. In this category one distinguishes giant gaseous and telluric planets. This latter is not massive enough to accrete gas. The mass limit between giant and telluric planets is about 10 terrestrial masses.

II. LRS SPECTRA The sample consists of 304 carbon stars with entries in the LRS catalog (Papers I-III). The LRS spectra have been divided into three groups. Group I consists of nine stars with 9.7 and 18 tun silicate features in their LRS spectra pointing to oxygen-rich dust in the circumstellar shell. These sources are discussed in Paper I. The remaining stars all have spectra with carbon-rich dust features. Using NIR photometry we have shown that in the group II spectra the stellar photosphere is the dominant continuum. The NIR color temperature is of the order of 25OO K. Paper II contains a discussion of sources with this class of spectra. The continuum in the group III spectra is probably due to amorphous carbon dust.

We had a good time, and About 100 people (adult and children) attended. Ben Toman live streamed on the BRAS Facebook page. See his description in this newsletter. A copy of the proposed, revised By-Laws should be in your mail soon. Read through them, and any proposed changes need to be communicated to me before the November meeting. Wally Pursell (who wrote the original and changed by-laws) and I worked last year on getting the By-Laws updated to the current BRAS policies, and we hope the revised By-Laws will need no revisions for a long time. We need more Globe at Night observations – we are behind in the observations compared to last year at this time. We also need observations of variable stars to help in a school project by a new BRAS member, Shreya.

BHATTACHARYYA and A. VAGISWARI ASTRONOMICAL STUDIES IN INDIA Interest in astronomy dominated Indian thinking from the very early times. Many references to astronomical events and their interpretations are found in the Hindu, Jain and Buddhisr Scriptures. During the period of compositions of astronomical siddhantas (5th to 12th century A.D.) the motions of the Sun, Moon and planets were studied in detail. It is well known that Aryabhata, Varahamihira, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara I and Bhaskara II made monumental contributions towards the development of astronomy. These early astronomers whose contributions have been discussed in detail in the previous chapters, had influenced the academic endeavours for several centuries. This was followed by a period of relative inactivity till late seventeenth century. In the year 1609 the optical telescope was discovered in the western world and its extensive use by Galileo revolutionized the study of astronomy. The first major development in new astronomy in India occurred when Father Richaud, a French Jesuit priest used the astronomical telescope for the first time on the Indian soil in the year 1689. He discovered a comet and the binary nature of the bright star alpha Centauri from Pondicherry. 1 23 Next important landmark was the work of Raja Jai Singh (1686-1734). He launched an ambitious programme of development of observational astronomy by establishing a chain of 5 observatories at Delhi, Jaipur, Mathura, Ujjain and Varanasi and started accurate observations.

  • The Orbital Ephemeris of the Classical Nova RR Pictoris: Presence of A
    Draft version August 5, 2018 Preprint typeset using LATEX style AASTeX6 v. 1.0 THE ORBITAL EPHEMERIS OF THE CLASSICAL NOVA RR PICTORIS: PRESENCE OF A THIRD BODY? N. Vogt1, M. R. Schreiber1, F.-J. Hambsch3,4, G. Retamales1, C. Tappert1, L. Schmidtobreick2 & I. Fuentes-Morales1 1Instituto de F´ısica y Astronom´ıa, Universidad de Valpara´ıso, Valpara´ıso, Chile 2European Southern Observatory, Santiago 19, Chile, Casilla 1900 3Vereniging Voor Sterrenkunde (VVS), Oude Bleken 12, 2400 Mol, Belgium 4 American Association of Variable Star Observers, 49 Bay State Rd., Cambridge, MA02138, USA ABSTRACT The ex-nova RR Pic presents a periodic hump in its light curve which is considered to refer to its orbital period. Analyzing all available epochs of these hump maxima in the literature, and combining them with those from new light curves obtained in 2013 and 2014, we establish an unique cycle count scheme valid during the past 50 years, and derive an ephemeris with the orbital period 0.145025959(15) days. The O - C diagram of this linear ephemeris reveals systematic deviations which could have different causes. One of them could be a light-travel-time effect caused by the presence of a hypothetical third body near the star/brown dwarf mass limit, with an orbital period of the order of 70 years. We also examine the difficulty of the problematic of detecting sub-stellar or planetary companions of close red- dwarf white-dwarf binaries (including cataclysmic variables), and discuss other possible mechanisms responsible for the observed deviations in O - C. For RR Pic, we propose strategies in order to solve this question by new observations.
