Table 12 did not have erroneous data published, but the now corrected Table 11 includes seven members of the published version of Table 12. This is because they are detected as spectroscopic binaries from both radial velocity variation and double-peaked correlation functions and we therefore present an updated Table 12. We list the erroneously reported single-line spectroscopic binaries in Table 14. Note that none of the analysis or figures published in the original version were affected by this issue, the problem occurred in the export of the table data to LaTex format. ∗ This paper includes data gathered with the 6.5 m Magellan Telescopes located at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile; Observations reported here were obtained at the MMT Observatory, a joint facility of the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Arizona. 4 Current address: National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Charlottesville, VA 22903, USA. 1 The Astrophysical Journal Table 11 Spectroscopic Binaries from Velocity Shifts a Δ 2 b − − c d R.A.

  • Hypervelocity Stars Ejected from the Galactic Center
    Hypervelocity Stars Ejected from the Galactic Center The Milky Way Halo Conference May 31, 2007 Warren R. Brown Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Collaborators: Margaret Geller, Scott Kenyon, Michael Kurtz Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars traveling with such extreme speeds that they are no longer bound to the Galaxy. Hypervelocity stars are interesting because they must be ejected by a massive black hole. As a result, hypervelocity stars give us tools to understand the history stellar interactions with the massive black hole and environment of stars around it. 1 The Milky Way Kaufmann If this is a picture of the Milky Way, the hypervelocity stars we are finding are deep in the halo, at distances of 50 – 100 kpc. The hypervelocity stars we are finding are also B-type stars. B-type stars are stars that are more massive and much more luminous than the Sun. Because B stars burn their fuel very rapidly, they have relatively short lifetimes of order 100 million years. In 1947, Humanson and Zwicky first reported B-type stars at high Galactic latitudes. Because B stars are born in the disk and live only a short time, you wouldn’t expect to find B stars very deep in the halo. Spectroscopic surveys show that the high- latitude B stars are a mix of evolved (horizontal branch) stars that belong to the halo and some main sequence, so-called “run-away B stars.” These run-away B stars all have travel times constant with a disk origin. Run-away stars are explained by two mechanisms: ejections from stellar binary encounters in young star clusters, or when a former binary companion goes supernova.

We undertake a population synthesis study to compute the delay-time distribution of core-collapse supernovae, that is, the supernova rate versus time following a starburst, taking into account binary interactions. We test the systematic robustness of our results by running various simulations to account for the uncertainties in our standard assumptions. We find that +9 a significant fraction, 15−8%, of core-collapse supernovae are “late”, that is, they occur 50–200 Myr after birth, when all massive single stars have already exploded.

The recently claimed discovery of a massive (MBH = 68−13 M ) black hole in the Galactic solar neighborhood has led to controversial discussions because it severely challenges our current view of stellar evolution. Aims. A crucial aspect for the determination of the mass of the unseen black hole is the precise nature of its visible companion, the B-type star LS V+22 25. Because stars of different mass can exhibit B-type spectra during the course of their evolution, it is essential to obtain a comprehensive picture of the star to unravel its nature and, thus, its mass. Methods. To this end, we study the spectral energy distribution of LS V+22 25 and perform a quantitative spectroscopic analysis that includes the determination of chemical abundances for He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Al, Si, S, Ar, and Fe. Results. Our analysis clearly shows that LS V+22 25 is not an ordinary main sequence B-type star. The derived abundance pattern exhibits heavy imprints of the CNO bi-cycle of hydrogen burning, that is, He and N are strongly enriched at the expense of C and O.

  • Otto Sackur's Pioneering Exploits in the Quantum Theory Of
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Catalogo dei prodotti della ricerca Chapter 3 Putting the Quantum to Work: Otto Sackur’s Pioneering Exploits in the Quantum Theory of Gases Massimiliano Badino and Bretislav Friedrich After its appearance in the context of radiation theory, the quantum hypothesis rapidly diffused into other fields. By 1910, the crisis of classical traditions of physics and chemistry—while taking the quantum into account—became increas- ingly evident. The First Solvay Conference in 1911 pushed quantum theory to the fore, and many leading physicists responded by embracing the quantum hypoth- esis as a way to solve outstanding problems in the theory of matter. Until about 1910, quantum physics had drawn much of its inspiration from two sources. The first was the complex formal machinery connected with Max Planck’s theory of radiation and, above all, its close relationship with probabilis- tic arguments and statistical mechanics. The fledgling 1900–1901 version of this theory hinged on the application of Ludwig Boltzmann’s 1877 combinatorial pro- cedure to determine the state of maximum probability for a set of oscillators. In his 1906 book on heat radiation, Planck made the connection with gas theory even tighter. To illustrate the use of the procedure Boltzmann originally developed for an ideal gas, Planck showed how to extend the analysis of the phase space, com- monplace among practitioners of statistical mechanics, to electromagnetic oscil- lators (Planck 1906, 140–148). In doing so, Planck identified a crucial difference between the phase space of the gas molecules and that of oscillators used in quan- tum theory.

  • Intermediate Statistics in Thermoelectric Properties of Solids
    Intermediate statistics in thermoelectric properties of solids André A. Marinho1, Francisco A. Brito1,2 1 Departamento de Física, Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, 58109-970 Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil and 2 Departamento de Física, Universidade Federal da Paraíba, Caixa Postal 5008, 58051-970 João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil (Dated: July 23, 2019) Abstract We study the thermodynamics of a crystalline solid by applying intermediate statistics manifested by q-deformation. We based part of our study on both Einstein and Debye models, exploring primarily de- formed thermal and electrical conductivities as a function of the deformed Debye specific heat. The results revealed that the q-deformation acts in two different ways but not necessarily as independent mechanisms. It acts as a factor of disorder or impurity, modifying the characteristics of a crystalline structure, which are phenomena described by q-bosons, and also as a manifestation of intermediate statistics, the B-anyons (or B-type systems). For the latter case, we have identified the Schottky effect, normally associated with high-Tc superconductors in the presence of rare-earth-ion impurities, and also the increasing of the specific heat of the solids beyond the Dulong-Petit limit at high temperature, usually related to anharmonicity of interatomic interactions. Alternatively, since in the q-bosons the statistics are in principle maintained the effect of the deformation acts more slowly due to a small change in the crystal lattice. On the other hand, B-anyons that belong to modified statistics are more sensitive to the deformation. PACS numbers: 02.20-Uw, 05.30-d, 75.20-g arXiv:1907.09055v1 [cond-mat.stat-mech] 21 Jul 2019 1 I.

    Hydrogen-Deficient Stars ASP Conference Series, Vol. 391, c 2008 K. Werner and T. Rauch, eds. Hydrogen-Deficient Stars: An Introduction C. Simon Jeffery Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, N. Ireland, UK Abstract. We describe the discovery, classification and statistics of hydrogen- deficient stars in the Galaxy and beyond. The stars are divided into (i) massive / young star evolution, (ii) low-mass supergiants, (iii) hot subdwarfs, (iv) cen- tral stars of planetary nebulae, and (v) white dwarfs. We introduce some of the challenges presented by these stars for understanding stellar structure and evolution. 1. Beginning Our science begins with a young woman from Dundee in Scotland. The brilliant Williamina Fleming had found herself in the employment of Pickering at the Harvard Observatory where she noted that “the spectrum of υ Sgr is remarkable since the hydrogen lines are very faint and of the same intensity as the additional dark lines” (Fleming 1891). Other stars, well-known at the time, later turned out also to have an unusual hydrogen signature; the spectacular light variations of R CrB had been known for a century (Pigott 1797), while Wolf & Rayet (1867) had discovered their emission-line stars some forty years prior. It was fifteen years after Fleming’s discovery that Ludendorff (1906) observed Hγ to be completely absent from the spectrum of R CrB, while arguments about the hydrogen content of Wolf-Rayet stars continued late into the 20th century. Although these early observations pointed to something unusual in the spec- tra of a variety of stars, there was reluctance to accept (or even suggest) that hydrogen might be deficient.

  • MOLAR HEAT of SOLIDS the Dulong–Petit Law, a Thermodynamic
    MOLAR HEAT OF SOLIDS The Dulong–Petit law, a thermodynamic law proposed in 1819 by French physicists Dulong and Petit, states the classical expression for the molar specific heat of certain crystals. The two scientists conducted experiments on three dimensional solid crystals to determine the heat capacities of a variety of these solids. They discovered that all investigated solids had a heat capacity of approximately 25 J mol-1 K-1 room temperature. The result from their experiment was explained as follows. According to the Equipartition Theorem, each degree of freedom has an average energy of 1 = 2 where is the Boltzmann constant and is the absolute temperature. We can model the atoms of a solid as attached to neighboring atoms by springs. These springs extend into three-dimensional space. Each direction has 2 degrees of freedom: one kinetic and one potential. Thus every atom inside the solid was considered as a 3 dimensional oscillator with six degrees of freedom ( = 6) The more energy that is added to the solid the more these springs vibrate. Figure 1: Model of interaction of atoms of a solid Now the energy of each atom is = = 3 . The energy of N atoms is 6 = 3 2 = 3 where n is the number of moles. To change the temperature by ΔT via heating, one must transfer Q=3nRΔT to the crystal, thus the molar heat is JJ CR=3 ≈⋅ 3 8.31 ≈ 24.93 molK molK Similarly, the molar heat capacity of an atomic or molecular ideal gas is proportional to its number of degrees of freedom, : = 2 This explanation for Petit and Dulong's experiment was not sufficient when it was discovered that heat capacity decreased and going to zero as a function of T3 (or, for metals, T) as temperature approached absolute zero.

  • First Principles Study of the Vibrational and Thermal Properties of Sn-Based Type II Clathrates, Csxsn136 (0 ≤ X ≤ 24) and Rb24ga24sn112
    Article First Principles Study of the Vibrational and Thermal Properties of Sn-Based Type II Clathrates, CsxSn136 (0 ≤ x ≤ 24) and Rb24Ga24Sn112 Dong Xue * and Charles W. Myles Department of Physics and Astronomy, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-806-834-4563 Received: 12 May 2019; Accepted: 11 June 2019; Published: 14 June 2019 Abstract: After performing first-principles calculations of structural and vibrational properties of the semiconducting clathrates Rb24Ga24Sn112 along with binary CsxSn136 (0 ≤ x ≤ 24), we obtained equilibrium geometries and harmonic phonon modes. For the filled clathrate Rb24Ga24Sn112, the phonon dispersion relation predicts an upshift of the low-lying rattling modes (~25 cm−1) for the Rb (“rattler”) compared to Cs vibration in CsxSn136. It is also found that the large isotropic atomic displacement parameter (Uiso) exists when Rb occupies the “over-sized” cage (28 atom cage) rather than the 20 atom counterpart. These guest modes are expected to contribute significantly to minimizing the lattice’s thermal conductivity (κL). Our calculation of the vibrational contribution to the specific heat and our evaluation on κL are quantitatively presented and discussed. Specifically, the heat capacity diagram regarding CV/T3 vs. T exhibits the Einstein-peak-like hump that is mainly attributable to the guest oscillator in a 28 atom cage, with a characteristic temperature 36.82 K for Rb24Ga24Sn112. Our calculated rattling modes are around 25 cm−1 for the Rb trapped in a 28 atom cage, and 65.4 cm−1 for the Rb encapsulated in a 20 atom cage.

They affect the stellar structure of the irradiated star and are reflected in the appearance of characteristic features in the spectroscopic and photometric data of these systems. We aim to study the light that originates from the irradiated side of the low-mass component of a close binary eclipsing system, which comprises a hot subdwarf primary and a low mass companion, to precisely interpret their high precision photometric and spectroscopic data, and accurately determine their system and surface parameters. We reanalyse the archival high-resolution time-resolved VLT/UVES spectra of AA Dor system, where irradiation features have already been detected.
