    Magnetic fields in isolated and interacting white dwarfs Lilia Ferrario1 and Dayal Wickramasinghe2 Mathematical Sciences Institute, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia Adela Kawka3 International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6102, Australia Abstract The magnetic white dwarfs (MWDs) are found either isolated or in inter- acting binaries. The isolated MWDs divide into two groups: a high field group (105 − 109 G) comprising some 13 ± 4% of all white dwarfs (WDs), and a low field group (B < 105 G) whose incidence is currently under investigation. The situation may be similar in magnetic binaries because the bright accretion discs in low field systems hide the photosphere of their WDs thus preventing the study of their magnetic fields’ strength and structure. Considerable research has been devoted to the vexed question on the origin of magnetic fields. One hypothesis is that WD magnetic fields are of fossil origin, that is, their progenitors are the magnetic main-sequence Ap/Bp stars and magnetic flux is conserved during their evolution. The other hypothesis is that magnetic fields arise from binary interaction, through differential rotation, during common envelope evolution. If the two stars merge the end product is a single high-field MWD. If close binaries survive and the primary develops a strong field, they may later evolve into the arXiv:2001.10147v1 [astro-ph.SR] 28 Jan 2020 magnetic cataclysmic variables (MCVs). The recently discovered population of hot, carbon-rich WDs exhibiting an incidence of magnetism of up to about 70% and a variability from a few minutes to a couple of days may support the [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Preprint submitted to Journal of LATEX Templates January 29, 2020 merging binary hypothesis.

  • Determination of Stellar Parameters for M-Dwarf Stars: the NIR Approach
    Determination of stellar parameters for M-dwarf stars: the NIR approach by Daniel Thaagaard Andreasen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Departamento de Fisica e Astronomia University of Porto c Copyright 2017 by Daniel Thaagaard Andreasen Dedication To Linnea, Henriette, Rico, and Else For always supporting me ii Acknowledgements When doing a PhD it is important to remember it is more a team effort than the work of an individual. This is something I learned quickly during the last four years. Therefore there are several people I would like to thank. First and most importantly are my two supervisors, Sérgio and Nuno. They were after me in the beginning of my studies because I was too shy to ask for help; something that I quickly learned I needed to do. They always had their door open for me and all my small questions. It goes without saying that I am thankful for all their guidance during my studies. However, what I am most thankful for is the freedom I have had to explorer paths and ideas on my own, and with them safely on the sideline. This sometimes led to failures and dead ends, but it make me grow as a researcher both by learning from my mistake, but also by prioritising my time. When I thank Sérgio and Nuno, my official supervisors, I also have to thank Elisa. She has been my third unofficial supervisor almost from the first day. Although she did not have any experience with NIR spectroscopy, she was never afraid of giving her opinion and trying to help.

  • Astronomy of the Northern Sky— - a Sky Quest on Star Lives - Larry Krumenaker
    Astronomy of the Northern Sky— - A Sky Quest on Star Lives - Larry Krumenaker There is no topic so vital to an astronomy course as the life of a star like our Sun. It ties in to so many questions: How old is our planet? Where do we come from? What is the future of the solar sys- tem? Why do all the stars look different in brightness and/or color? We have looked at parts of this story in issues past, in this column and in some other TCA articles. Here we begin to put all the previous col- umns of information together into the full story of what we are, where we came from, where we are, and where are we going. This is going to be somewhat like a Sky Quest, a search for objects in the northern sky (see Figure 1), instead of a Web Quest, with the story and sky info (the latter in this blue color) moving along together. Non-stellar objects are labeled with catalog abbreviations and numbers: M=Messier’s Catalog, NGC is the New General Catalog, and IC means Index Catalog, a follow-up to the NGC. We’ve covered star names and spectral classes in earlier TCA issues, except for HD, the Henry Draper catalog. In this Sky Quest, we shall talk about stellar evolution, the birth, life and death of a star like our Sun, and finding the representative stages up in the northern sky. Figure 2. The stages in the life cycle of the Sun. Our Past The basics of stellar evolution are the universe is the ultimate in recycling.

  • Using Asteroseismology to Find the Radius and Mass Of
    Inference on Radii and Masses of Red Giants that host exoplanets from Solar-like Oscillations Yifan Chen Abstract Asteroseismology is the study of natural oscillations in stars. By observing a star's oscillation frequencies, it is possible to directly infer its stellar properties. Here we measure the solar-like oscillations in 6 planet- hosting red giants using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. Fourier transformation could be applied to the light curves obtained and passed into the pysyd pipeline to measure the frequency of maximum power (νmax) and made into an ´echelle diagram to measure the large separation of oscillations (∆ν) By using the scaling relations of νmax and ∆ν, the radius and mass of the stars can be obtained and compared with existing published values. Overall, the results demonstrated radius and mass obtained using asteroseismology to have a lower uncertainty compared to other methods. 1 Introduction 1.1 Asteroseismology A star is a ball of gas consisting of mainly hydrogen, some helium, and a bit of other elements (which as- tronomers call metals). Whie seismology is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves that move through the Earth, the study of Asteroseismology looks at \starquakes", or oscillations of stars. Spherical waves form in the interior of a star, forming oscillation modes and patterns of compression (similar to how air would form standing waves in a wind instrument). These oscillations would cause energy to rise up to the surface, resulting in the intensity of light emitted to change (Bedding 2009). The first discovery of oscillations in stars date back to 1596, yet not many oscillations (apart for the Sun's, which has its own branch of astronomy called helioseismology) can be studied closely for hundreds of years due to technological limitations.

It is very close to the north celestial pole, making it the curre nt northern pole star. The revised Hipparcos parallax gives a distance to Polaris of about 433 light-years, while calculations by other methods derive distances arou nd 30% closer. Polaris is a triple star system, composed of the primary star, Polar is Aa, in orbit with a smaller companion (Polaris Ab); the pair in orbit with Polaris B (discovered in August 1779 by William Herschel). There were once thought to be tw o more distant components—Polaris C and Polaris D—but these have been sho wn not to be physically associated with the Polaris system.

The two-month deadline was impractical but the idea seemed appealing and so led to a part of this document. Afterwards, Ben Shen suggested that I finish the job with a description of the two following observatories. I turned these ideas somewhat around and composed a text that starts with the 18th century beginnings of the University and ends in 2007 with the almost certain termination of local ground-based observing.
