  • 1903Apj 18. .3415 the SPECTRUM of O CETL' by Joel Stebbins. On
    .3415 18. 1903ApJ THE SPECTRUM OF o CETL' By Joel Stebbins. On account of the great instrumental power required for the observation of the spectra of faint objects, changes in the spectra of long-period variable stars have not been well studied. In fact, there is no star which undergoes a large variation in bright- ness whose spectrum has been systematically followed from maxi- mum to minimum, or vice versa. It is proposed to give here the results of a study of the spectrum of o Ceti> or Mira, made, at the suggestion of Director Campbell, with the thirty-six-inch refractor of the Lick Observatory, from June 1902 to January 1903. During this period the star faded in brightness from 3.8 to 9.0 magnitude. The first photograph of the spectrum was obtained about three weeks after the predicted time of maximum, and a series of plates was secured covering the interval to mini- mum. No negatives were obtained after the star had again begun to increase in brightness. The most important articles concerning the spectrum of Mira are those of Vogel,2 Sidgreaves,3 and Campbell.4 Neither Vogel nor Sidgreaves followed the star long enough to find much change in its spectrum, and Campbell’s work was mainly in con- nection with observations of the star for radial velocity, with the Mills spectrograph. INSTRUMENTS AND METHODS. The spectrograph used in my observations was the one employed rby Messrs. Campbell and Wright in their work on 1 “ Dissertation in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of California,” Lick Observatory Bulletin No.

    Draft version May 22, 2020 Typeset using LATEX preprint style in AASTeX62 Astrophysical Distance Scale II. Application of the JAGB Method: A Nearby Galaxy Sample Wendy L. Freedman1 and Barry F. Madore1, 2 1Dept. of Astronomy & Astrophysics University of Chicago 5640 S. Ellis Ave., Chicago, IL, 60637 2The Observatories Carnegie Institution for Science 813 Santa Barbara St., Pasadena, CA 91101 ABSTRACT We apply the near-infrared J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB) method, re- cently introduced by Madore & Freedman (2020), to measure the distances to 14 nearby galaxies out to 4 Mpc. We use the geometric detached eclipsing binary (DEB) distances to the LMC and SMC as independent zero-point calibrators. We find excellent agree- ment with previously published distances based on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB): the JAGB distance determinations (including the LMC and SMC) agree in the mean to within ∆(JAGB T RGB) =+0.025 0.013 mag, just over 1%, where the − ± TRGB I-band zero point is MI = -4.05 mag. With further development and testing, the JAGB method has the potential to provide an independent calibration of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), especially with JW ST . The JAGB stars (with M = 6:20 mag) J − can be detected farther than the fainter TRGB stars, allowing greater numbers of cal- ibrating galaxies for the determination of H0. Along with the TRGB and Cepheids, arXiv:2005.10793v1 [astro-ph.GA] 21 May 2020 JAGB stars are amenable to theoretical understanding and further refined empirical calibration. A preliminary test shows little dependence, if any, of the JAGB magnitude with metallicity of the parent galaxy.

Hayward Gemini Observatory, Casilla 603, La Serena, Chile and J. P. Lloyd Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 Received 2007 February 16; accepted 2007 March 10 ABSTRACT The Mira AB system is a nearby (107 pc) example of a wind accreting binary star system. In this class of system, the wind from a mass-losing red giant star (Mira A) is accreted onto a companion (Mira B), as indicated by an accretion shock signature in spectra at ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths. Using novel imaging techniques, we report the detection of emission at mid-infrared wavelengths between 9.7 and 18.3 m from the vicinity of Mira B but with a peak at a radial position about 10 AU closer to the primary Mira A. We interpret the mid-infrared emission as the edge of an optically-thick accretion disk heated by Mira A. The discovery of this new class of accretion disk fed by M-giant mass loss implies a potential population of young planetary systems in white dwarf binaries, which has been little explored despite being relatively common in the solar neighborhood.

  • Spectroscopic and Photometric Study of the Mira Stars SU Camelopardalis and RY Cephei
    Spectroscopic and photometric study of the Mira stars SU Camelopardalis and RY Cephei David Boyd BAA Variable Star Section, West Challow Observatory, OX12 9TX, UK Email: [email protected] Abstract Miras are fascinating stars. A kappa-mechanism in their atmosphere drives pulsations which produce changes in their photometric brightness, apparent spectral type and effective temperature. These pulsations also drive the formation of Balmer emission lines in the spectrum. This behaviour can be observed and investigated with small telescopes. We report on a three- year project combining spectroscopy and photometry to analyse the behaviour of Mira stars SU Cam and RY Cep, and describe how their brightness, colour, spectral type, effective temperature and Balmer emission vary over four pulsation cycles. Keywords: Mira variable stars; spectroscopy; photometry; stars: individual (RY Cep, SU Cam) 1. Mira stars Oxygen-rich Miras are pulsating red giant stars with spectral type late K or M and luminosity class III. Mira variables are evolved stars. They begin their thermonuclear lives burning hydrogen in their core on the main sequence of the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) Diagram. This hydrogen burning produces helium ash which accumulates in the core. Once the hydrogen in the core runs out, the helium-rich core begins to collapse, which heats the hydrogen-rich shell on top of it until the hydrogen ignites in that shell. While hydrogen is burning in this shell, energy is dumped into the outer envelope of the star causing the outer layers to expand and cool, resulting in the star rising to the upper-right on the HR Diagram, the so-called Red Giant Branch.

Castelaz1,2, Donald G. Luttermoser Department of Physics, Box 70652, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN 37614 and Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy Daniel B. Caton Department of Physics and Astronomy, Dark Sky Observatory, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC 28608 Robert A. Piontek1,3 University of Maryland, Department of Astronomy, College Park, MD 20742 ABSTRACT Spectroscopic measurements of Mira variable stars, as a function of phase, probe the stellar atmospheres and underlying pulsation mechanisms. For example, measuring variations in TiO, VO, and ZrO with phase can be used to help determine whether these molecular species are produced in an extended region above the layers where Balmer line emission occurs or below this shocked region. Using the same methods, the Balmer-line increment, where the strongest Balmer line at phase zero is Hδ and not Hα can be measured and explanations tested, along with another peculiarity, the absence of the H line in the spectra of Miras when the other Balmer lines are strong. We present new spectra covering the spectral range from 6200 A˚ to 9000 Aof20Miravariables.A˚ relationship between variations in the Ca II IR triplet and Hα as a function of phase support the hypothesis that H’s observational characteristics result from an interaction of H photons with the Ca II H line. New periods and epochs of variability are also presented for each star. Subject headings: variable stars: Miras, long period variables — low resolution spectroscopy: TiO, Balmer lines, Ca II IR triplet 1Visiting Astronomer, Dark Sky Observatory, Appalachian State University 2Also at The Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 3Participated in the Summer 1998 Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy Research Experience for Undergraduates Program Sponsored by the National Science Foundation –2– 1.

    THE STAR THE NEWSLETTER OF THE MOUNT CUBA ASTRONOMICAL GROUP VOL. 4 NUM. 4 CONTACT US AT DAVE GROSKI [email protected] OR HANK BOUCHELLE [email protected] 302-983-7830 OUR PROGRAMS ARE HELD THE SECOND TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 7:30 P.M. UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE MOUNT CUBA ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY 1610 HILLSIDE MILL ROAD GREENVILLE, DE FOR DIRECTIONS PLEASE VISIT www.mountcuba.org PLEASE SEND ALL PHOTOS AND ARTICLES TO [email protected] 1 DECEMBER MEETING TUESDAY DEC. 8TH 7:30 p.m. ASTRONOMICAL TERMS AND NAMES OF THE MONTH: The Mission of the Mt. Cuba Astronomy Group is to increase knowledge and expand awareness of the science of astronomy and related technologies. When reading the articles in the STAR, you will come across various terms and names of objects you may not be familiar with. Therefore, in each edition of the STAR, we will review terms as well as objects related to Astronomy and related technologies. These topics are presented on a level that the general public can appreciated. distance indicators: or Distance measures are used in physical cosmology to give a natural notion of the distance between two objects or events in the universe. Spheroidal: A spheroid, or ellipsoid of revolution, is a quadric surface obtained by rotating an ellipse about one of its principal axes; in other words, an ellipsoid with two equal semi-diameters. If the ellipse is rotated about its major axis, the result is a prolate (elongated) spheroid, like an American football or rugby ball. LIBRARIES: Hank is working with the Cecil County Public Libraries where as the MCAG will participate in there Visions of the Universe Program.
