    Radio Observations of Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables Paul Barrett∗ George Washington University, Washington DC, 20052, USA Christopher Dieck United States Naval Observatory, Washington DC 20392, USA Anthony J. Beasley National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Charlottesville, VA 22903, USA Paul A. Mason New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, 88003, USA Picture Rocks Observatory, 1025 S. Solano, Suite D, Las Cruces, NM 88001, USA Kulinder P. Singh Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali, Manauli, PO 140306, India Abstract The NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) is used to observe 122 magnetic cataclysmic variables (MCVs) during three observing semesters (13B, 15A, and 18A). We report radio detections of 33 stars with fluxes in the range 6{8031 µJy. Twenty-eight stars are new radio sources, increasing the number of radio detected MCVs to more that 40. A surprising result is that about three-quarters (24 of 33 stars) of the detections show highly circularly polarized radio emission of short duration, which is characteristic of electron cyclotron maser emission. We argue that this emission originates from the lower corona of the donor star, and not from a region between the two stars. Maser emission enables a more direct estimate of the mean coronal magnetic field of the donor star, which we estimate to be 1{4 kG assuming a magnetic filling factor of 50%. A two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test supports the conclusion that the distribution function of radio detected MCVs with orbital periods between 1.5{ 5 hours is similar to that of all MCVs. This result implies that rapidly-rotating arXiv:2004.11418v2 [astro-ph.SR] 15 Jun 2020 (Pspin < 10 days), fully convective stars can sustain strong magnetic dynamos.

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.

  • 10 Meter Sub-Orbital Large Balloon Reflector (LBR)
    LBR 10 meter Sub-Orbital Large Balloon Reflector (LBR) Step I Phase B Report 31 May 2014 PI: Christopher K. Walker University of Arizona 1 LBR I COVER PAGE AND PROJECT SUMMARY The realization of a large, space-based 10 meter class telescope for far-infrared/THz studies has long been a goal of NASA. Such a telescope could study the origins of stars, planets, molecular clouds, and galaxies; providing a much needed means of following-up on tantalizing results from recent successful missions such as Spitzer, Herschel, and SOFIA. Indeed, Herschel began its life in the US space program as the Large Deployable Reflector (LDR) – to be assembled in low Earth orbit by shuttle astronauts. Escalating costs and smaller federal budget allocations resulted in a downsizing of the mission. However, by combining successful suborbital balloon and ground-based telescope technologies, the dream of a 10 meter class telescope free of ~99% of the Earth’s atmospheric absorption in the far-infrared can be realized. The same telescope can also be used to perform sensitive, high spectral and spatial resolution limb sounding studies of the Earth’s atmosphere in greenhouse gases such as CO, ClO, O3, and water, as well as serve as a high flying hub for any number of telecommunications and surveillance activities. Flight times of 100+ days will be possible, with instruments having mass and power requirements in excess of ~500 kg and ~1 kW. Here we present the results of our NIAC Step 1, Phase B design study where each key aspect of the LBR concept is discussed and recommendations made for further study in Phase II.
