Star of the Antichrist STAR OF THE ANTICHRIST The purpose of this illustration is to depict the calculated ‘new’ Star that is predicted to be ‘born’ sometime in 2022 in the constellation of Cygnus. This new ‘birth’ will be as a consequence of a colliding binary Star system, KIC 9832227. Based on research, such a prognostication was published in late 2018 but according to Wikipedia, the apparent calculations where not entirely accurate for 2022. However, there has been no other updated sources or a further re-calibration. As the projected event caused some sensationalism around the world initially, so did it come to take on a ‘Messianic’ omen of sorts by some religious Jews because of it. Such ascribed that, assuming the time frame would still be accurate to be sometime in 2022, it would be the ‘Sign’ signaling the arrival of the Jewish Messiah. Of course, many religious Jews have also announced several ‘Signs’ about the coming Messiah that have come and gone. To those that study esoteric meanings, could the Swan of Cygnus signal the ‘death’ of such a ‘bird’ as a euphemism of the Luciferian Phoenix and its ‘rebirth’ as in their New World Order and AntiChrist leader? It will remain to be seen. Many who believe the Bible do not really grasp this nuance that prophecy is interwoven with the Stars as YHVH prescribed in Genesis from the very onset of Creation. The Stars also have the connotation of the personages directly associated with the Heroes of Old and the Might Men of Renown. Thus, such a cosmic ‘Sign’ essentially echoes the Biblical attributes of an announcement, a personage, perhaps even the coming AntiChrist.

  • From Dinuclear Systems to Close Binary Stars: Application to Source
    From Dinuclear Systems to Close Binary Stars: Application to Source of Energy in the Universe V.V. Sargsyan1,2, H. Lenske2, G.G. Adamian1, and N.V. Antonenko1 1Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, 141980 Dubna, Russia, 2Institut f¨ur Theoretische Physik der Justus–Liebig–Universit¨at, D–35392 Giessen, Germany (Dated: January 1, 2019) Abstract The evolution of close binary stars in mass asymmetry (transfer) coordinate is considered. The conditions for the formation of stable symmetric binary stars are analyzed. The role of symmetriza- tion of asymmetric binary star in the transformation of potential energy into internal energy of star and the release of a large amount of energy is revealed. PACS numbers: 26.90.+n, 95.30.-k Keywords: close binary stars, mass transfer, mass asymmetry arXiv:1812.11338v1 [astro-ph.SR] 29 Dec 2018 1 I. INTRODUCTION Because mass transfer is an important observable for close binary systems in which the two stars are nearly in contact [1–8], it is meaningful and necessary to study the evolution of these stellar systems in the mass asymmetry coordinate η = (M1 − M2)/(M1 + M2) where Mi, (i = 1, 2), are the stellar masses. In our previous work [9], we used classical Newtonian mechanics and study the evolution of the close binary stars in their center-of- mass frame by analyzing the total potential energy U(η) as a function of η at fixed total mass M = M1 + M2 and orbital angular momentum L = Li of the system. The limits for the formation and evolution of the di-star systems were derived and analyzed.

We describe the near infrared spectrum of this object as an impetus to obtain pre-merger data. Aims.

Methods. We use infrared spectroscopy in the wavelength range 0.7 µm–2.5 µm, to which we fit model atmospheres to represent the individual stars. We use the binary ephemeris to determine the orbital phase at the time of observation. Results. We find that the infrared spectrum is best fitted by a single component having effective temperature 5 920 K, log [g] = 4.1 and solar metallicity, consistent with the fact that the system was observed at conjunction. Conclusions. The strength of the infrared H lines is consistent with a high value of log g, and the strength of the Ca ii triplet indicates the presence of a chromosphere, as might be expected from rapid stellar rotation.

Observed eclipse times were determined from Kepler long-cadence light curves and "observed minus calculated" (0 - C) curves were generated for both pri- mary and secondary eclipses of the contact binary systems. We found the 0 - C curves of contact binaries to be clearly distinctive from the curves of other binaries. The key characteristics of these curves are random-walk like variations, with typical semi-amplitudes of 200 to 300 seconds, quasi-periodicities, and anti-correlated behav- ior between the curves of the primary and secondary eclipses. We performed a formal analysis of systems with dominant anti-correlated behavior, calculating correlation coefficients as low as -0.77, with a mean value of -0.42.

ABSTRACT We revisit the issue of period variation of the recently claimed red nova precursor candidate KIC 9832227. By using the data gathered during the main mission of the Kepler satellite, those collected by ground-based wide-field surveys and other monitoring programs (such as ASAS-SN), we find that the currently available timing data strongly support a model consisting of the known W UMa binary and a distant low-mass companion with an orbital period of ∼ 13.5 years. The period of the W UMa component exhibits a linear period decrease with a pace of (1.10±0.05)×10−6 days per year, within the range of many other similar systems. This rate of decrease is several orders of magnitude lower than that of V1309 Sco, the first (and so far the only) well-established binary precursor of a nova observed a few years before the outburst. The high-fidelity fit of the timing data and the conformity of the derived minimum mass of (0.38 ± 0.02) M⊙ of the outer companion from these data with the limit posed by the spectroscopic non-detection of this component, are in agreement with the suggested hierarchical nature of this system.
