  • Astronomy & Astrophysics a Hipparcos Study of the Hyades
    A&A 367, 111–147 (2001) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20000410 & c ESO 2001 Astrophysics A Hipparcos study of the Hyades open cluster Improved colour-absolute magnitude and Hertzsprung{Russell diagrams J. H. J. de Bruijne, R. Hoogerwerf, and P. T. de Zeeuw Sterrewacht Leiden, Postbus 9513, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands Received 13 June 2000 / Accepted 24 November 2000 Abstract. Hipparcos parallaxes fix distances to individual stars in the Hyades cluster with an accuracy of ∼6per- cent. We use the Hipparcos proper motions, which have a larger relative precision than the trigonometric paral- laxes, to derive ∼3 times more precise distance estimates, by assuming that all members share the same space motion. An investigation of the available kinematic data confirms that the Hyades velocity field does not contain significant structure in the form of rotation and/or shear, but is fully consistent with a common space motion plus a (one-dimensional) internal velocity dispersion of ∼0.30 km s−1. The improved parallaxes as a set are statistically consistent with the Hipparcos parallaxes. The maximum expected systematic error in the proper motion-based parallaxes for stars in the outer regions of the cluster (i.e., beyond ∼2 tidal radii ∼20 pc) is ∼<0.30 mas. The new parallaxes confirm that the Hipparcos measurements are correlated on small angular scales, consistent with the limits specified in the Hipparcos Catalogue, though with significantly smaller “amplitudes” than claimed by Narayanan & Gould. We use the Tycho–2 long time-baseline astrometric catalogue to derive a set of independent proper motion-based parallaxes for the Hipparcos members.

  • Two Fundamental Theorems About the Definite Integral
    Two Fundamental Theorems about the Definite Integral These lecture notes develop the theorem Stewart calls The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in section 5.3. The approach I use is slightly different than that used by Stewart, but is based on the same fundamental ideas. 1 The definite integral Recall that the expression b f(x) dx ∫a is called the definite integral of f(x) over the interval [a,b] and stands for the area underneath the curve y = f(x) over the interval [a,b] (with the understanding that areas above the x-axis are considered positive and the areas beneath the axis are considered negative). In today's lecture I am going to prove an important connection between the definite integral and the derivative and use that connection to compute the definite integral. The result that I am eventually going to prove sits at the end of a chain of earlier definitions and intermediate results. 2 Some important facts about continuous functions The first intermediate result we are going to have to prove along the way depends on some definitions and theorems concerning continuous functions. Here are those definitions and theorems. The definition of continuity A function f(x) is continuous at a point x = a if the following hold 1. f(a) exists 2. lim f(x) exists xœa 3. lim f(x) = f(a) xœa 1 A function f(x) is continuous in an interval [a,b] if it is continuous at every point in that interval. The extreme value theorem Let f(x) be a continuous function in an interval [a,b].

  • Photometry of Be Stars in the Vicinity of COROT Primary Targets for Asteroseismology
    Comm. in Asteroseismology Vol. 143, 2003 Photometry of Be stars in the vicinity of COROT primary targets for asteroseismology J. Guti´errez-Soto1, J. Fabregat1, J. Suso2, A.M. Hubert3, M. Floquet3 and R. Garrido4 1 Observatori Astron`omic, Universitat de Val`encia 2 Instituto Ciencia de los Materiales, Universitat de Val`encia 3GEPI, Observatoire de Paris-Meudon 4Instituto de Astrof´ısica de Andaluc´ıa Abstract We present differential photometry of Be stars close to potential COROT pri- mary targets for asteroseismology. Several stars are found to be short pe- riod variables. We propose them to be considered as secondary targets in the COROT asteroseismology fields. Introduction The observation of classical Be stars by COROT will provide important keys to understand the physics of these objects and the nature of the Be phenomenon. In particular, the detection of photospheric multiperiodicity will confirm the presence of non radial pulsations (nrp) as the origin of the short term variability. COROT observations will allow the study of the beat phenomenon of nrp modes and its relation with recurrent outbursts and the building of the circumstellar disc. Our group is proposing the observation of Be stars as secondary targets for the asteroseismology fields. A sample of stars in the vicinity of the main target candidates is under study for this purpose. Hubert et al. (2001, 2003) presented the selected objects and performed a study of their short term variability using Hipparcos photometric data. We have obtained new ground based photometry with a more suitable time sampling to further characterize their variability. 2 Photometry of Be stars in the vicinity of COROT primary targets for asteroseismology Observations and data analysis Observations were done at the 0.9 m telescope of the Observatorio de Sierra Nevada (Granada, Spain).

Continuity. Derivative: definition, rules, geometric and rate-of- change interpretations, applications to graphing, linearization and optimization. Integral: definition, fundamental theorem of calculus, substitution, applications to areas, volumes, work, average. Meets New Mexico Lower Division General Education Common Core Curriculum Area II: Mathematics (NMCCN 1614). (4 Credit Hours). Prerequisites: ((123 or ACCUPLACER College-Level Math =100-120) and (150 or ACT Math =28- 31 or SAT Math Section =660-729)) or (153 or ACT Math =>32 or SAT Math Section =>730). COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. State, motivate and interpret the definitions of continuity, the derivative, and the definite integral of a function, including an illustrative figure, and apply the definition to test for continuity and differentiability. In all cases, limits are computed using correct and clear notation. Student is able to interpret the derivative as an instantaneous rate of change, and the definite integral as an averaging process. 2. Use the derivative to graph functions, approximate functions, and solve optimization problems. In all cases, the work, including all necessary algebra, is shown clearly, concisely, in a well-organized fashion. Graphs are neat and well-annotated, clearly indicating limiting behavior. English sentences summarize the main results and appropriate units are used for all dimensional applications. 3. Graph, differentiate, optimize, approximate and integrate functions containing parameters, and functions defined piecewise. Differentiate and approximate functions defined implicitly. 4. Apply tools from pre-calculus and trigonometry correctly in multi-step problems, such as basic geometric formulas, graphs of basic functions, and algebra to solve equations and inequalities.

  • Differentiating an Integral
    Differentiating an Integral P. Haile, February 2020 b(t) Leibniz Rule. If (t) = a(t) f(z, t)dz, then R d b(t) @f(z, t) db da = dz + f (b(t), t) f (a(t), t) . dt @t dt dt Za(t) That’s the rule; now let’s see why this is so. We start by reviewing some things you already know. Let f be a smooth univariate function (i.e., a “nice” function of one variable). We know from the fundamental theorem of calculus that if the function is defined as x (x) = f(z) dz Zc (where c is a constant) then d (x) = f(x). (1) dx You can gain some really useful intuition for this by remembering that the x integral c f(z) dz is the area under the curve y = f(z), between z = a and z = x. Draw this picture to see that as x increases infinitessimally, the added contributionR to the area is f (x). Likewise, if c (x) = f(z) dz Zx then d (x) = f(x). (2) dx Here, an infinitessimal increase in x reduces the area under the curve by an amount equal to the height of the curve. Now suppose f is a function of two variables and define b (t) = f(z, t)dz (3) Za where a and b are constants. Then d (t) b @f(z, t) = dz (4) dt @t Za i.e., we can swap the order of the operations of integration and differentiation and “differentiate under the integral.” You’ve probably done this “swapping” 1 before.
