II. LRS SPECTRA The sample consists of 304 carbon stars with entries in the LRS catalog (Papers I-III). The LRS spectra have been divided into three groups. Group I consists of nine stars with 9.7 and 18 tun silicate features in their LRS spectra pointing to oxygen-rich dust in the circumstellar shell. These sources are discussed in Paper I. The remaining stars all have spectra with carbon-rich dust features. Using NIR photometry we have shown that in the group II spectra the stellar photosphere is the dominant continuum. The NIR color temperature is of the order of 25OO K. Paper II contains a discussion of sources with this class of spectra. The continuum in the group III spectra is probably due to amorphous carbon dust.

You may have noticed that this newsletter is showing up a little bit later than usual, and it’s for good reason: release of the newsletter will now happen after the monthly business meeting so that we can have a chance to keep everybody up to date on the latest information. Sometimes, this will mean the newsletter shows up a couple of days late. But, the upshot is that you’ll now be able to see what we discussed at the recent business meeting and have time to digest it before our general meeting in case you want to give some feedback. Now that we’re on the new format, business meetings (and the oft neglected Light Pollution Committee Meeting), are going to start being open to all members of the club again by simply joining up in the respective chat rooms the Wednesday before the first Monday of the month—which I encourage people to do, especially if you have some ideas you want to see the club put into action.

    Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Vol. 106 1994 March No. 697 Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific 106: 209-238, 1994 March Invited Review Paper The DQ Herculis Stars Joseph Patterson Department of Astronomy, Columbia University, 538 West 120th Street, New York, New York 10027 Electronic mail: [email protected] Received 1993 September 2; accepted 1993 December 9 ABSTRACT. We review the properties of the DQ Herculis stars: cataclysmic variables containing an accreting, magnetic, rapidly rotating white dwarf. These stars are characterized by strong X-ray emission, high-excitation spectra, and very stable optical and X-ray pulsations in their light curves. There is considerable resemblance to their more famous cousins, the AM Herculis stars, but the latter class is additionally characterized by spin-orbit synchronism and the presence of strong circular polarization. We list eighteen stars passing muster as certain or very likely DQ Her stars. The rotational periods range from 33 s to 2.0 hr. Additional periods can result when the rotating searchlight illuminates other structures in the binary. A single hypothesis explains most of the observed properties: magnetically channeled accretion within a truncated disk. Some accretion flow still seems to proceed directly to the magnetosphere, however. The white dwarfs' magnetic moments are in the range 1032-1034 G cm3, slightly weaker than in AM Her stars but with some probable overlap. The more important reason why DQ Hers have broken synchronism is probably their greater accretion rate and orbital separation. The observed Lx/L v values are surprisingly low for a radially accreting white dwarf, suggesting that most of the accretion energy is not radiated in a strong shock above the magnetic pole.

  • Episodic Absorption in the Outflow of the Old Nova V603 Aquilae

Received 2000 April 19; in original form 2000 February 17 ABSTRACT We report on the time-dependent behaviour of ultraviolet spectral lines in Hubble Space Telescope Goddard High-Resolution Spectrograph data of the classical nova V603 Aql. In particular, episodic blueshifted absorption (extending to ,22500 km s21) is present, with a variability time-scale down to ,1 min. The data provide a rare opportunity to study the rapid evolution of absorption structures that may be associated with accretion-disc winds in cataclysmic variables. At least three absorption events are recorded (at blueward velocities only) over ,5 h, each lasting ,10±15 min. The derived velocity, acceleration and optical depth properties provide an empirical picture of stochastically variable structures in the outflow, with no evidence for short-term (less than ,1 h) cyclic or modulated behaviour in the overall absorption properties. In contrast, the emission components of the ultraviolet resonance lines are very stable in velocity and strength in this low-inclination system.

  • Mysterious Laptev Area Unfrozen Sea October 2018
    Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, , REVIEW ARTICLE Mysterious Laptev area unfrozen sea October 2018 W. Sokeland Retired, Heat Transfer Expert, Spacecraft and Turbine Engines, Lebanon, Indiana 46052, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Received: 05.02.2019. Accepted: 04.03.2019 The Laptev Sea ice melt of 2018 appeared due to a new debris stream impacting our planet that was not present in March of 2017. This new deflection area zone of March 17, 2018 created a region between the new zone at longitude 119E and the WZ Sagittae deflection area zone at longitude 14 °E of April 5 that maximized energy input in the enclosed region from both exploding star’s debris streams. The region of increased energy caused a sea ice free area to exist that is unprecedented in the satellite record in the Laptev Sea during the end of October 2018. The November 2, 2018 melt at the South Pole shows two hotspots acting on the sea ice simultaneously.. Keywords: Warming; global; supernova; nova; Laptev; sea ice; Arctic Introduction The topic of global warming has been connected to the melting of ice in the polar regions of our planet. At the time, the idea of destroying living conditions for future generations was created by politicians. Man made CO2 being inserted into our atmosphere was defined as the culprit and countries formed rich and powerful organizations to reduce man’s production of CO2. The concepts of the SNIT theory did not exist at the time. SNIT simply states the incoming energy and greenhouse gases causing global warming at this time are from four exploding stars, two novas and two supernovas.

Schwope Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany; [email protected] Received 2006 September 29; accepted 2006 November 1 ABSTRACT We present Spitzer IRS observations of 11 intermediate polars (IPs). Spectra covering the wavelength range from 5.2 to 14 m are presented for all 11 objects, and longer wavelength spectra are presented for three objects (AE Aqr, EX Hya, and V1223 Sgr). We also present new, moderate-resolution (R 2000) near-infrared spectra for five of the program objects. We find that, in general, the mid-infrared spectra are consistent with simple power laws that extend from the optical into the mid-infrared. There is no evidence for discrete cyclotron emission features in the near- or mid-infrared spectra for any of the IPs investigated, nor for infrared excesses at k 12 m. However, AE Aqr, and possibly EX Hya and V1223 Sgr, do show longer wavelength excesses. We have used a cyclotron modeling code to put limits on the amount of such emission for magnetic field strengths of 1 B 7 MG.

When the volume of ice on our planet was increasing in 2018-19, the planet was impacted by the new heat source of planetary nebula, PN, NGC 40. Currently the strength of PN NGC 40 is overcoming the loss of strength of the SN 1006 and V606 Aquilae and the Arctic ice volume started decreasing in March 2019. Particular longitude locations moving eastward from the initial impact point of PN NGC 40 show the effects of the PN NGC 40 hotspot passing over their locations. Shipping time through the Northeast Passage will increase for 2019 and for years thereafter. The ten-year measles outbreak that occurred from 1981 to 1991 will repeat for the period 2019 to 2029. Keywords: Planetary Nebula; Nares Strait; Ice volume; Sea ice; longitude locations of the hotspot at different dates. The location Heat Waves; Northeast Passage of the hotspot is assumed to be at constant latitude and because the declination of PN NGC 40 is so far north, +72.5 degrees, it may cause Introduction heating in both east and west hemispheres of the North Pole region.
