  • CH Cygni II: Optical Flickering from an Unstable Disk
    To appear in the Astrophysical Journal A Preprint typeset using L TEX style emulateapj v. 14/09/00 CH CYGNI II: OPTICAL FLICKERING FROM AN UNSTABLE DISK J. L. Sokoloski and S. J. Kenyon Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138 [email protected] To appear in the Astrophysical Journal ABSTRACT CH Cygni began producing rapid, stochastic optical variations with the onset of symbiotic activity in 1963. We use changes in this flickering between 1997 and 2000 to diagnose the state of the accretion disk during this time. In the 1998 high state, the luminosity of the B-band flickering component was typically more than 20 times higher than in the 1997 and 2000 low states. Therefore, the physical process or region that produces the flickering was also primarily responsible for the large optical flux increase in the 1998 high state. Assuming that the rapid, stochastic optical variations in CH Cygni come from the accretion disk, as in cataclysmic variable stars, a change in the accretion rate through the disk led to the 1998 bright state. All flickering disappeared in 1999, when the accreting WD was eclipsed by the red giant orbiting with a period of approximately 14 yr, according to the ephemeris of Hinkle et al. and the interpretation of Eyres et al. We did not find any evidence for periodic or quasi-periodic oscillations in the optical emission from CH Cygni in either the high or low state, and we discuss the implications for magnetic propeller models of this system. As one alternative to propeller models, we propose that the activity in CH Cygni is driven by accretion through a disk with a thermal-viscous instability, similar to the instabilities believed to exist in dwarf novae and suggested for FU Ori pre-main-sequence stars and soft X-ray transients.

  • Eating Planets for Lunch and Dinner: Signatures of Planet Consumption by Evolving Stars
    Draft version September 13, 2019 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX62 Eating Planets for Lunch and Dinner: Signatures of Planet Consumption by Evolving Stars Alexander P. Stephan,1, 2 Smadar Naoz,1, 2 B. Scott Gaudi,3 and Jesus M. Salas1, 2 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA 2Mani L. Bhaumik Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA 3Department of Astronomy, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA (Received XXX; Revised YYY; Accepted ZZZ) Submitted to ApJ ABSTRACT Exoplanets have been observed around stars at all stages of stellar evolution, in many cases orbiting in configurations that will eventually lead to the planets being engulfed or consumed by their host stars, such as Hot Jupiters or ultra-short period planets. Furthermore, objects such as polluted white dwarfs provide strong evidence that the consumption of planets by stars is a common phenomenon. This consumption causes several significant changes in the stellar properties, such as changes to the stellar spin, luminosity, chemical composition, or mass loss processes. Here, we explore this wide variety of effects for a comprehensive range of stellar and planetary masses and stages of stellar evolution, from the main sequence over red giants to the white dwarfs. We determine that planet consumption can cause transient luminosity features that last on the order of centuries to millennia, and that the post-consumption stellar spins can often reach break-up speeds. Furthermore, stellar moss loss can be caused by this spin-up, as well as through surface grazing interactions, leading to to the formation of unusual planetary nebula shapes or collimated stellar gas ejections.

Our goal is to determine the molecular composition of the circumstellar disk around AB Aurigae (hereafter, AB Aur). AB Aur is a prototypical Herbig Ae star and the understanding of its disk chemistry is paramount for understanding the chemical evolution of the gas in warm disks. Methods. We used the IRAM 30-m telescope to perform a sensitive search for molecular lines in AB Aur as part of the IRAM Large program ASAI (A Chemical Survey of Sun-like Star-forming Regions).

Groh1, Georges Meynet1, Cyril Georgy2, and Sylvia Ekström1 1 Geneva Observatory, Geneva University, Chemin des Maillettes 51, 1290 Sauverny, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] 2 Astrophysics group, EPSAM, Keele University, Lennard-Jones Labs, ST5 5BG Keele, UK Received 16 May 2013 / Accepted 20 August 2013 ABSTRACT We investigate the fundamental properties of core-collapse supernova (SN) progenitors from single stars at solar metallicity. For this purpose, we combine Geneva stellar evolutionary models with initial masses of Mini = 20−120 M with atmospheric and wind models using the radiative transfer code CMFGEN. We provide synthetic photometry and high-resolution spectra of hot stars at the pre-SN stage. For models with Mini = 9−20 M, we supplement our analysis using publicly available MARCS model atmospheres of RSGs to estimate their synthetic photometry. We employ well-established observational criteria of spectroscopic classification and find that, depending on their initial mass and rotation, massive stars end their lives as red supergiants (RSG), yellow hypergiants (YHG), luminous blue variables (LBV), and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars of the WN and WO spectral types. For rotating models, we obtained the + following types of SN progenitors: WO1–3 (Mini ≥ 32 M), WN10–11 (25 < Mini < 32 M), LBV (20 ≤ Mini ≤ 25 M), G1 Ia (18 < Mini < 20 M), and RSGs (9 ≤ Mini ≤ 18 M). For non-rotating models, we found spectral types WO1–3 (Mini > 40 M), WN7–8 (25 < Mini ≤ 40 M), WN11h/LBV (20 < Mini ≤ 25 M), and RSGs (9 ≤ Mini ≤ 20 M).

Lagrange, Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis et Observatoire de la Cˆote d’Azur, BP 4229, 06304 Nice Cedex 4, France Received 26 September 2011 / Accepted 21 June 2012 ABSTRACT Context. Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are one of the largest distributors of dust into the interstellar medium. However, the wind formation mechanism and dust condensation sequence leading to the observed high mass-loss rates have not yet been constrained well observationally, in particular for oxygen-rich AGB stars. Aims. The immediate objective in this work is to identify molecules and dust species which are present in the layers above the photosphere, and which have emission and absorption features in the mid-infrared (IR), causing the diameter to vary across the N-band, and are potentially relevant for the wind formation. Methods. Mid-IR (8–13 μm) interferometric data of four oxygen-rich AGB stars (R Aql, R Aqr, R Hya, and W Hya) and one carbon- rich AGB star (V Hya) were obtained with MIDI/VLTI between April 2007 and September 2009.

  • Stars and Their Spectra: an Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89954-3 - Stars and Their Spectra: An Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B. Kaler Index More information Star index Stars are arranged by the Latin genitive of their constellation of residence, with other star names interspersed alphabetically. Within a constellation, Bayer Greek letters are given first, followed by Roman letters, Flamsteed numbers, variable stars arranged in traditional order (see Section 1.11), and then other names that take on genitive form. Stellar spectra are indicated by an asterisk. The best-known proper names have priority over their Greek-letter names. Spectra of the Sun and of nebulae are included as well.
