A. Drake1 and C. B. Pereira2 1 Sobolev Astronomical Institute, St. Petersburg State University, Universitetski pr. 28, St. Petersburg 198504, Russia 2 Observatório Nacional, Rua José Cristino, 77, CEP 20921-400, São Cristóvão, Rio de Janeiro-RJ, Brazil e-mail: [drake,claudio]@on.br Received 6 February 2010 / Accepted 5 May 2011 ABSTRACT Aims. We determine the atmospheric parameters and abundance pattern of the chemically peculiar metal-poor Fehrenbach & Duflot (Feh-Duf) star to more clearly understand its evolutionary state and the nature of the s-element enhancement in this star. Methods. Its atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances were determined using high resolution optical spectroscopy and employing the local-thermodynamic-equilibrium model atmospheres of Kurucz and spectral analysis code MOOG. Results. The derived abundances show that the Feh-Duf star is a low-metallicity ([Fe/H] = −1.93) star with high carbon and heavy s-element abundances, while the abundance of the light s-process element yttrium is low ([Y/Fe] = −0.07). The oxygen abundance is lower than for Galactic halo stars of similar metallicity.We conclude that the Feh-Duf star could be a CH star with C/O = 1.3. Another possibility is that the Feh-Duf star could be an early-AGB star. The Fehrenbach & Duflot star is also a lead star with [Pb/Ce] =+0.69. −1 In addition, it displays an extreme retrograde motion (VGRF = −259 km s ), which in combination with its underabundance of α-elements suggests that this star may have been captured by the Milky Way galaxy. -
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.

We want to study the effects of the formation of planets and planetary systems on the atmospheric Li abundance of planet host stars. Methods. In this work we present new determinations of lithium abundances for 326 main sequence stars with and without planets in the Teff range 5600–5900 K. The 277 stars come from the HARPS sample, the remaining targets were observed with a variety of high-resolution spectrographs. Results. We confirm significant differences in the Li distribution of solar twins (Teff = T ± 80 K, log g = log g ± 0.2and[Fe/H] = [Fe/H] ±0.2): the full sample of planet host stars (22) shows Li average values lower than “single” stars with no detected planets (60). -
CS 30322-023: an Ultra Metal-Poor TP-AGB Star?

Schwarzschild Straße 2, D-85748 Garching bei M¨unchen Received January 3, 2006 / Accepted May 5, 2006 ABSTRACT Context. The remarkable properties of CS 30322-023 became apparent during the course of a high-resolution spectroscopic study of a sample of 23 carbon-enhanced, metal-poor (CEMP) stars. Aims. This sample is studied in order to gain a better understanding of s- and r-process nucleosynthesis at low metallicity, and to investigate the role of duplicity. Methods. High-resolution UVES spectra have been obtained, and abundances are derived using 1-D, plane-parallel OSMARCS models under the LTE hypothesis. The derived atmospheric parameters and observed abundances are compared to evolutionary tracks and nucleosynthesis predictions to infer the evolutionary status of CS 30322-023. Results. CS 30322-023 is remarkable in having the lowest surface gravity (log g ≤ −0.3) among the metal-poor stars studied to date. As a result of its rather low temperature (4100 K), abundances could be derived for 35 chemical elements; the abundance pattern of CS 30322-023 is one of the most well-specified of all known extremely metal-poor stars. -

How eccentric orbital solutions can hide planetary systems in 2:1 resonant orbits Guillem Anglada-Escud´e1, Mercedes L´opez-Morales1,2, John E. Chambers1 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The Doppler technique measures the reflex radial motion of a star induced by the presence of companions and is the most successful method to detect ex- oplanets. If several planets are present, their signals will appear combined in the radial motion of the star, leading to potential misinterpretations of the data. Specifically, two planets in 2:1 resonant orbits can mimic the signal of a sin- gle planet in an eccentric orbit. We quantify the implications of this statistical degeneracy for a representative sample of the reported single exoplanets with available datasets, finding that 1) around 35% percent of the published eccentric one-planet solutions are statistically indistinguishible from planetary systems in 2:1 orbital resonance, 2) another 40% cannot be statistically distinguished from a circular orbital solution and 3) planets with masses comparable to Earth could be hidden in known orbital solutions of eccentric super-Earths and Neptune mass planets. Subject headings: Exoplanets – Orbital dynamics – Planet detection – Doppler method arXiv:0809.1275v2 [astro-ph] 25 Nov 2009 Introduction Most of the +300 exoplanets found to date have been discovered using the Doppler tech- nique, which measures the reflex motion of the host star induced by the planets (Mayor & Queloz 1995; Marcy & Butler 1996). The diverse characteristics of these exoplanets are somewhat surprising. Many of them are similar in mass to Jupiter, but orbit much closer to their 1Carnegie Institution of Washington, Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, 5241 Broad Branch Rd. -

Arxiv:1811.01508V1 [Astro-Ph.SR] 5 Nov 2018 the Nearby, Young, Argus Association: Membership, Age, and Dusty Debris Disks 2
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. -
