Does GD356 Have a Terrestrial Planetary Companion

Received 2010 January 20; in original form 2009 November 2 Downloaded from ABSTRACT GD 356 is unique among magnetic white dwarfs because it shows Zeeman-split Balmer lines in pure emission. The lines originate from a region of nearly uniform field strength (δB/B ≈ 0.1) that covers 10 per cent of the stellar surface in which there is a temperature inversion. The energy source that heats the photosphere remains a mystery but it is likely to be associated with http://mnras.oxfordjournals.org/ the presence of a companion. Based on current models, we use archival Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) observations to place a new and stringent upper limit of 12 MJ for the mass of such a companion. In the light of this result and the recent discovery of a 115-min photometric period for GD 356, we exclude previous models that invoke accretion and revisit the unipolar inductor model that has been proposed for this system. In this model, a highly conducting planet with a metallic core orbits the magnetic white dwarf and, as it cuts through field lines, a current is set flowing between the two bodies. -

Andersen To be published in A&A Review Abstract The large amounts of dust detected in sub-millimeter galaxies and quasars at high redshift pose a challenge to galaxy formation models and theories of cosmic dust forma- tion. At z > 6 only stars of relatively high mass (> 3 M⊙) are sufficiently short-lived to be potential stellar sources of dust. This review is devoted to identifying and quantifying the most important stellar channels of rapid dust formation. We ascertain the dust production ef- ficiency of stars in the mass range 3–40 M⊙ using both observed and theoretical dust yields of evolved massive stars and supernovae (SNe) and provide analytical expressions for the dust production efficiencies in various scenarios. We also address the strong sensitivity of the total dust productivity to the initial mass function. From simple considerations, we find that, in the early Universe, high-mass (> 3 M⊙) asymptotic giant branch stars can only be −3 dominant dust producers if SNe generate . 3 × 10 M⊙ of dust whereas SNe prevail if they are more efficient. We address the challenges in inferring dust masses and star-formation rates from observations of high-redshift galaxies. We conclude that significant SN dust pro- duction at high redshift is likely required to reproduce current dust mass estimates, possibly coupled with rapid dust grain growth in the interstellar medium.

The results are based on a sample of 146 open clusters with known radial velocities located in the Galactic plane (b<7◦)within 4 kpc of the Sun. The solar Galactocentric distance R0 is determined usingtwo kinematic methods. The followingresults are obtained: A0 =17.0 ± 0.9 km/s kpc, U0 =10.5 ± 1.0 km/s, V0 =11.5 ± 1.1 km/s, R0 =8.3 ± 0.3 pc. c 2004 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”. 1.

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. -

Probing the Close Environment of Young Stellar Objects With
Probing the close environment of young stellar objects with interferometry Fabien Malbet ([email protected]) Laboratoire d’Astrophysique, Observatoire de Grenoble, UMR 5571 CNRS/UJF, Grenoble, France Abstract. The study of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) is one of the most ex- citing topics that can be undertaken by long baseline optical interferometry. The magnitudes of these objects are at the edge of capabilities of current optical inter- ferometers, limiting the studies to a few dozen, but are well within the capability of coming large aperture interferometers like the VLT Interferometer, the Keck Inter- ferometer, the Large Binocular Telescope or ’OHANA. The milli-arcsecond spatial resolution reached by interferometry probes the very close environment of young stars, down to a tenth of an astronomical unit. In this paper, I review the different aspects of star formation that can be tackled by interferometry: circumstellar disks, multiplicity, jets. I present recent observations performed with operational infrared interferometers, IOTA, PTI and ISI, and I show why in the next future one will extend these studies with large aperture interferometers. Keywords: Interferometry, Optical, Infrared, Star Formation, Young Stellar Ob- jects, Pre-Main Sequence Stars 1. Introduction When trying to understand the origin of our planetary system, one has basically two approaches: (i) looking for other existing planetary systems in the universe to characterize them or (ii) investigate how stellar systems have been forming. By studying young stellar objects (hereafter YSOs) in our Universe, i.e. stars in their early stages of evolution, one focuses our attention to the second approach. So far, these objects have been extensively observed by spectropho- arXiv:astro-ph/0303260v1 12 Mar 2003 tometry with seeing-limited resolution that corresponds at best to a hundred of astronomical units for typical star formation regions, thus many questions are still unresolved 1 because our incapability to disen- tangle the various phenomena at smaller scales. -
An Upper Limit to Coronal X-Rays from Single, Magnetic White Dwarfs
J. Astrophys. Astr. (1993) 14, 141–143 An Upper Limit to Coronal X-rays from Single, Magnetic White Dwarfs 1 1 2 Rob Cavallo , Keith A. Arnaud & Virginia Trimble Astronomy Department, University of Maryland, College Park MD 20742 USA 1 Also Code 666, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt MD 20771 USA 2 Also Physics Department, University of California, Irvine CA 92717 Received 1993 August 19; accepted 1993 September 28 Abstract. Pointed ROSAT PSPC exposures of 9277 and 6992 sec, directed toward the nearby, single, cool, magnetic white dwarfs GR 290 and EG 250 yielded no counts significantly above the expected background rate. The corresponding flux limits (for an assumed source temperature of l keV) are 1.0 and 1.7 × 10 –14erg cm–2 s–1, within the 0.1–2.5 keV bandpass of the instrument (99% confidence limits). This is more than an order of magnitude below the tentative detection level (for GR 290) and limits (for four other similar stars) obtained from archival Einstein data in 1991. The corresponding limits on coronal electron density are comparable with those implied if cyclotron emission is not responsible for any of the features observed in the optical spectra of magnetic white dwarfs. X-ray data currently provide no evidence for the existence of coronae around these stars. A final long observation (25,000 sec of GD 356) is scheduled for later this year on ROSAT, along with coordinated EUVE observations. Key words: White dwarfs—stellar coronae—X-ray emission 1.
