  • 02 Southern Cross

    02 Southern Cross

    Asterism Southern Cross The Southern Cross is located in the constellation Crux, the smallest of the 88 constellations. It is one of the most distinctive. With the four stars Mimosa BeCrux, Ga Crux, A Crux and Delta Crucis, forming the arms of the cross. The Southern Cross was also used as a remarkably accurate timepiece by all the people of the southern hemisphere, referred to as the ‘Southern Celestial Clock’ by the portuguese naturalist Cristoval D’Acosta. It is perpendicular as it passes the meridian, and the exact time can thus be calculated visually from its angle. The german explorer Baron Alexander von Humboldt, sailing across the southern oceans in 1799, wrote: “It is a timepiece, which advances very regularly nearly 4 minutes a day, and no other group of stars affords to the naked eye an observation of time so easily made”. Asterism - An asterism is a distinctive pattern of stars or a distinctive group of stars in the sky. Constellation - A grouping of stars that make an imaginary picture in the sky. There are 88 constellations.

Kuhn,1† Marc Gagn´e,2 Eric L. N. Jensen1 and Nathan A. Miller3 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA 19081, USA 2Department of Geology and Astronomy, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, West Chester, PA 19383, USA 3Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Eau Claire, WI 54702, USA Accepted 2008 February 29. Received 2008 February 29; in original form 2007 December 6 ABSTRACT In order to test the O star wind-shock scenario for X-ray production in less luminous stars with weaker winds, we made a pointed 74-ks observation of the nearby early B giant, β Crucis (β Cru; B0.5 III), with the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer. We find that the X-ray spectrum is quite soft, with a dominant thermal component near 3 million K, and that the emission lines are resolved but quite narrow, with half widths of 150 km s−1. The forbidden-to-intercombination line ratios of Ne IX and Mg XI indicate that the hot plasma is distributed in the wind, rather than confined near the photosphere. It is difficult to understand the X-ray data in the context of the standard wind-shock paradigm for OB stars, primarily because of the narrow lines, but also because of the high X-ray production efficiency. A scenario in which the bulk of the outer wind is shock heated is broadly consistent with the data, but not very well motivated theoretically.

MARCY,* VICTORIA LINDSAY,* AND KAREN WILSON Department of Physics and Astronomy, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, California 94132 Received 1987 February 26, revised 1987 March 28 ABSTRACT Radial velocities for 72 M dwarfs have been obtained having internal errors of about 0.1 km s1 and external errors of about 0.4 km s_1. Multiple velocity measurements of ten dMe stars have yielded a set of six which have no stellar companions, providing confirmation that the dMe phenomenon can occur in single stars. These single dMe stars have low space motions indicative of relative youth. Four stars from the entire survey were found to have double-line spectra and two were found to be single-line spectroscopic binaries of low amplitude. The zero point of the velocity scale is found to agree well with that of O. C. Wilson (1967) and differences are noted among other radial-velocity studies. Most of the stars in this study have velocities sufficiently well determined to constitute potential radial-velocity standards. Key words: K-M dwarfs-radial velocities I. Introduction atic difference between their velocities and O. C. 1 Accurate measurements of radial velocities for M Wilson's of —1.7 km s , a discrepancy not explainable by dwarfs are used to address a number of astrophysical the random errors of the two studies. problems such as the age dependence of the kinematics of Thus, it is not known at present which zero point is to the Galaxy (cf.
  • The HR Diagram

    The HR Diagram

    Name_______________________ Class_______________________ Date_______________________ Assignment #10 – The H-R Diagram A star is a delicately balanced ball of gas, fighting between two impulses: gravity, which wants to squeeze the gas all down to a single point, and radiation pressure, which wants to blast all the gas out to infinity. These two opposite forces balance out in a process called Hydrostatic Equilibrium, and keep the gas at a stable, fairly constant size. The radiation itself is due to the fusion of protons in the star's core – a process that produces huge amounts of energy. In class we've examined the most important properties of stars: their temperatures, colors and brightnesses. Now let's see if we can find some relationships between these stellar properties. We know that hotter stars are brighter, as described by the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, and we know that the hotter stars are also bluer, as described by Wien's Law. The H-R diagram is a way of displaying an important relationship between a star's Absolute Magnitude (or Luminosity), and its Spectral Type (or temperature). Remember, Absolute Magnitude is how bright a star would appear to be, if it were 10 parsecs away. Luminosity is how much total energy a star gives off per second. As we studied in a previous exercise, Spectral Type is a system of classifying stars by temperature, from hottest (type O) to coldest (type M). Each letter in the Spectral Type list (O, B, A, F, G, K, and M) is further subdivided into 10 steps, numbered 0 through 9, to make finer distinctions between stars.
