Club Astronomie Des Moulins Club Astronomie des Moulins Le Lézard Lacerta, Lacertae, Lac Le Lézard est une petite constellation placée sur les cartes par Jean Hévélius au XVIIe siècle, dans une région entre et Andromède, Cassiopée et le Cygne. Histoire La Lézard fut créée par Johannes Hevelius en 1687 dans une région du ciel pauvre en étoiles brillantes. Son nom provient probablement de la forme en zig-zag décrite par ses étoiles les plus lumineuses. Avant Hevelius, l'astronome Augustin Royer créa, au même endroit, la constellation du Sceptre (la Main de Justice) pour rendre hommage au Roi de France Louis XIV. Cette appellation courtisane ne prit pas racine. Une légende grecque liée à Déméter, où cette dernière recherche sa fille Perséphone. Le roi Céléos lui offre alors l'hospitalité. Mais alors qu'elle est en train de manger, le fils du roi lui fait une remarque insultante, et Démeter le change en lézard. - 1 - Club Astronomie des Moulins LES ÉTOILES Bêta Lac Alpha Lac Étoile dans le Lézard de type spectral : G9III Étoile dans le Lézard de type spectral : A1V Ascention droite : 22h23'33,63" Ascention droite : 22h31'17,51" Déclinaison : +52°13'44,6" Déclinaison : +50°16'57,0" Magnitude : 4,420 Magnitude : 3,760 Distance : 169,88 al Distance : 102,37 al 5 Lac 11 Lac Étoile dans le Lézard de type spectral : M0II Étoile dans le Lézard de type spectral : K3III Ascention droite : 22h29'31,83" Ascention droite : 22h40'30,87" Déclinaison : +47"42'24,8" Déclinaison : +44°16'34,8" Magnitude : 4,340 Magnitude : 4,500 Distance ; 1164,9 al Distance : 301,72 al 6 Lac HD 211073 Lac Étoile dans le Lézard de type spectral : B2IV Étoile double dans le Lézard de type spectral : K3III Ascention droite : 22h30'29,27" Ascention droite : 22h13'52,71" - 22h13'523,72" Déclinaison : +43°07'24,2" Déclinaison : +39°42'53,7" - +39°42'54,1" Magnitude : 4,520 Magnitude : 4,693 - 8,149 Distance : 1370,4 al Distance : 563,32 al 1 Lac Étoile dans le Lézard de type spectral : K3III Ascention droite : 22h15'58,18" Déclinaison : +37°44'55,5" Magnitude : 4,140 Distance : 627,24 al LES OBJETS CÉLESTES NGC 7209 NGC 7243 Amas ouvert dans le Lézard Amas ouvert dans le Lézard ——————————— ——————————— A.D. : 22h05'12,0" A.D. : 22h15'18,0" Décl. : +46°30'00" Décl. : +49°53'00" Diamètre : 24,0' Diamètre : 21,0' Étoiles : 25 Étoiles : 40 Magn. : 7,8 intégrée Magn. : 6,7 intégrée Âge : 295 millions années Âge : 107 millions années NGC 7296 IC 1434 Amas ouvert dans le Amas ouvert dans le Lézard Lézard ——————————— ——————————— A.D. : 22h28'12,0" A.D. : 22h10'30,0" Décl. : +52°18'00" Décl. : +52°50'00" Diamètre : 4,0' Diamètre : 7,0' Étoiles : 20 Étoiles : 40 Magn. : 9,7 intégrée Magn. : 9,0 intégrée - 2 - Club Astronomie des Moulins IC 5217 Nébuleuse planétaire dans le Lézard ——————————— A.D. : 22h23'54,0" Décl. : +50°57'51" Diamètre : 6,6' Magn. : 10,00P intégrée Source : Imago Mundi – Wikipedia Constellation – Catalogue NGC interactif en ligne — Coelix Photos : Catalogue digital Sky survey – Nasa Cartes : logiciel Coelix avec adaptation sur Corel Draw Mise en ligne : GA - 3 -.

  • Apparent and Absolute Magnitudes of Stars: a Simple Formula
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 96 (2018) 120-133 EISSN 2392-2192 Apparent and Absolute Magnitudes of Stars: A Simple Formula Dulli Chandra Agrawal Department of Farm Engineering, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi - 221005, India E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT An empirical formula for estimating the apparent and absolute magnitudes of stars in terms of the parameters radius, distance and temperature is proposed for the first time for the benefit of the students. This reproduces successfully not only the magnitudes of solo stars having spherical shape and uniform photosphere temperature but the corresponding Hertzsprung-Russell plot demonstrates the main sequence, giants, super-giants and white dwarf classification also. Keywords: Stars, apparent magnitude, absolute magnitude, empirical formula, Hertzsprung-Russell diagram 1. INTRODUCTION The visible brightness of a star is expressed in terms of its apparent magnitude [1] as well as absolute magnitude [2]; the absolute magnitude is in fact the apparent magnitude while it is observed from a distance of . The apparent magnitude of a celestial object having flux in the visible band is expressed as [1, 3, 4] ( ) (1) ( Received 14 March 2018; Accepted 31 March 2018; Date of Publication 01 April 2018 ) World Scientific News 96 (2018) 120-133 Here is the reference luminous flux per unit area in the same band such as that of star Vega having apparent magnitude almost zero. Here the flux is the magnitude of starlight the Earth intercepts in a direction normal to the incidence over an area of one square meter. The condition that the Earth intercepts in the direction normal to the incidence is normally fulfilled for stars which are far away from the Earth.

  • Opacity Effects on Pulsations of Main-Sequence A-Type Stars
    atoms Article Opacity Effects on Pulsations of Main-Sequence A-Type Stars Joyce A. Guzik * ID , Christopher J. Fontes and Chris Fryer ID Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA; [email protected] (C.J.F.); [email protected] (C.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 April 2018; Accepted: 11 May 2018 ; Published: 4 June 2018 Abstract: Opacity enhancements for stellar interior conditions have been explored to explain observed pulsation frequencies and to extend the pulsation instability region for B-type main-sequence variable stars. For these stars, the pulsations are driven in the region of the opacity bump of Fe-group elements at ∼200,000 K in the stellar envelope. Here we explore effects of opacity enhancements for the somewhat cooler main-sequence A-type stars, in which p-mode pulsations are driven instead in the second helium ionization region at ∼50,000 K. We compare models using the new LANL OPLIB vs. LLNL OPAL opacities for the AGSS09 solar mixture. For models of two solar masses and effective temperature 7600 K, opacity enhancements have only a mild effect on pulsations, shifting mode frequencies and/or slightly changing kinetic-energy growth rates. Increased opacity near the bump at 200,000 K can induce convection that may alter composition gradients created by diffusive settling and radiative levitation. Opacity increases around the hydrogen and 1st He ionization region (∼13,000 K) can cause additional higher-frequency p modes to be excited, raising the possibility that improved treatment of these layers may result in prediction of new modes that could be tested by observations.

  • Eclipsing Systems with Pulsating Components (Types Β Cep, Δ Sct, Γ Dor Or Red Giant) in the Era of High-Accuracy Space Data
    galaxies Review Eclipsing Systems with Pulsating Components (Types b Cep, d Sct, g Dor or Red Giant) in the Era of High-Accuracy Space Data Patricia Lampens Royal Observatory of Belgium, Ringlaan 3, 1180 Brussels, Belgium; [email protected] Abstract: Eclipsing systems are essential objects for understanding the properties of stars and stellar systems. Eclipsing systems with pulsating components are furthermore advantageous because they provide accurate constraints on the component properties, as well as a complementary method for pulsation mode determination, crucial for precise asteroseismology. The outcome of space missions aiming at delivering high-accuracy light curves for many thousands of stars in search of planetary systems has also generated new insights in the field of variable stars and revived the interest of binary systems in general. The detection of eclipsing systems with pulsating components has particularly benefitted from this, and progress in this field is growing fast. In this review, we showcase some of the recent results obtained from studies of eclipsing systems with pulsating components based on data acquired by the space missions Kepler or TESS. We consider different system configurations including semi-detached eclipsing binaries in (near-)circular orbits, a (near-)circular and non-synchronized eclipsing binary with a chemically peculiar component, eclipsing binaries showing the heartbeat phenomenon, as well as detached, eccentric double-lined systems. All display one or more pulsating component(s). Among the great variety of known classes of pulsating stars, we discuss unevolved or slightly evolved pulsators of spectral type B, A or F and red giants with solar-like oscillations. Some systems exhibit additional phenomena such as tidal effects, angular momentum transfer, (occasional) Citation: Lampens, P.

This book can be referenced as follows: Reipurth, B. 2016, http://ifa.hawaii.edu/SP1 i FOREWORD I first learned about George Herbig’s work when I was a teenager. I grew up in Denmark in the 1950s, a time when Europe was healing the wounds after the ravages of the Second World War. Already at the age of 7 I had fallen in love with astronomy, but information was very hard to come by in those days, so I scraped together what I could, mainly relying on the local library. At some point I was introduced to the magazine Sky and Telescope, and soon invested my pocket money in a subscription. Every month I would sit at our dining room table with a dictionary and work my way through the latest issue. In one issue I read about Herbig-Haro objects, and I was completely mesmerized that these objects could be signposts of the formation of stars, and I dreamt about some day being able to contribute to this field of study.

We have gathered and analysed a timeseries of 1493 high-quality multicolour Geneva photometric data of the B3V β Cep star HD 129929. The dataset has a time base of 21.2 years. The occurrence of a beating phenomenon is evident from the data. We find evidence for the presence of at least six frequencies, among which we see components of two frequency multiplets with an average spacing of ∼0.0121 c d−1 which points towards very slow rotation. This result is in agreement with new spectroscopic data of the star and also with previously taken UV spectra. We provide the amplitudes of the six frequencies in all seven photometric filters. The metal content of the star is Z = 0.018 ± 0.004. All these observational results will be used to perform detailed seismic modelling of this massive star in a subsequent paper.

  • Pulsating Components in Binary and Multiple Stellar Systems---A
    Research in Astron. & Astrophys. Vol.15 (2015) No.?, 000–000 (Last modified: — December 6, 2014; 10:26 ) Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics Pulsating Components in Binary and Multiple Stellar Systems — A Catalog of Oscillating Binaries ∗ A.-Y. Zhou National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100012, China; [email protected] Abstract We present an up-to-date catalog of pulsating binaries, i.e. the binary and multiple stellar systems containing pulsating components, along with a statistics on them. Compared to the earlier compilation by Soydugan et al.(2006a) of 25 δ Scuti-type ‘oscillating Algol-type eclipsing binaries’ (oEA), the recent col- lection of 74 oEA by Liakos et al.(2012), and the collection of Cepheids in binaries by Szabados (2003a), the numbers and types of pulsating variables in binaries are now extended. The total numbers of pulsating binary/multiple stellar systems have increased to be 515 as of 2014 October 26, among which 262+ are oscillating eclipsing binaries and the oEA containing δ Scuti componentsare updated to be 96. The catalog is intended to be a collection of various pulsating binary stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. We reviewed the open questions, advances and prospects connecting pulsation/oscillation and binarity. The observational implication of binary systems with pulsating components, to stellar evolution theories is also addressed. In addition, we have searched the Simbad database for candidate pulsating binaries. As a result, 322 candidates were extracted. Furthermore, a brief statistics on Algol-type eclipsing binaries (EA) based on the existing catalogs is given. We got 5315 EA, of which there are 904 EA with spectral types A and F.
