    ESO Annual Report 2004 ESO Annual Report 2004 presented to the Council by the Director General Dr. Catherine Cesarsky View of La Silla from the 3.6-m telescope. ESO is the foremost intergovernmental European Science and Technology organi- sation in the field of ground-based as- trophysics. It is supported by eleven coun- tries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Created in 1962, ESO provides state-of- the-art research facilities to European astronomers and astrophysicists. In pur- suit of this task, ESO’s activities cover a wide spectrum including the design and construction of world-class ground-based observational facilities for the member- state scientists, large telescope projects, design of innovative scientific instruments, developing new and advanced techno- logies, furthering European co-operation and carrying out European educational programmes. ESO operates at three sites in the Ataca- ma desert region of Chile. The first site The VLT is a most unusual telescope, is at La Silla, a mountain 600 km north of based on the latest technology. It is not Santiago de Chile, at 2 400 m altitude. just one, but an array of 4 telescopes, It is equipped with several optical tele- each with a main mirror of 8.2-m diame- scopes with mirror diameters of up to ter. With one such telescope, images 3.6-metres. The 3.5-m New Technology of celestial objects as faint as magnitude Telescope (NTT) was the first in the 30 have been obtained in a one-hour ex- world to have a computer-controlled main posure.

We use spectral energy distributions (SEDs), Hα line profiles, and visibilities available in the literature to study Achernar’s envelope geometry and to propose a possible scenario for its circumstellar disk formation and dissipation. Methods. We use the SIMECA code to investigate possible geometries of the circumstellar environment by comparing our synthetic results with spectroscopic and high angular resolution data from the VLTI/VINCI instrument. We compute three different kinds of models: an equatorial disk, a polar wind, and a disk+wind model. Results. We develop a 2D axial symmetric kinematic model to study the variation of the observed Hα line profiles, which provides clear evidence of Achernar’s equatorial disk formation and dissipation between 1991 and 2002. Our model can reproduce the polar- wind extension greater than 10 R and a possible equatorial disk (≤5 R) but we were unable to estimate the wind opening angle.

  • The COLOUR of CREATION Observing and Astrophotography Targets “At a Glance” Guide
    The COLOUR of CREATION observing and astrophotography targets “at a glance” guide. (Naked eye, binoculars, small and “monster” scopes) Dear fellow amateur astronomer. Please note - this is a work in progress – compiled from several sources - and undoubtedly WILL contain inaccuracies. It would therefor be HIGHLY appreciated if readers would be so kind as to forward ANY corrections and/ or additions (as the document is still obviously incomplete) to: [email protected]. The document will be updated/ revised/ expanded* on a regular basis, replacing the existing document on the ASSA Pretoria website, as well as on the website: coloursofcreation.co.za . This is by no means intended to be a complete nor an exhaustive listing, but rather an “at a glance guide” (2nd column), that will hopefully assist in choosing or eliminating certain objects in a specific constellation for further research, to determine suitability for observation or astrophotography.

  • A Summary of the Different Classes of Stellar Pulsators
    A Summary of the Different Classes of Stellar Pulsators A summary of all the classes of pulsating stars and their main properties as described in Chapter 2 is given in the tables below. This list originated from a combination of observational discoveries, measured stellar properties, and theoretical developments. Observers who found a new type of pulsator either named it after the prototype or gave the class a name according to the ob- served characteristics of the oscillations. Several pulsators, or even groups of pulsators, were afterwards found to originate from the same physical mech- anism and were thus merged into one and the same class. We sort this out here in Tables A.1 and A.2 in order to avoid further confusion on pulsating star nomenclature. The effective temperature and luminosity indicated in Tables A.1 and A.2 should be taken as rough indications only of the borders of instability strips. Often the theory is not sufficiently refined to consider these boundaries as final. Moreover, there is overlap between various classes where so-called hy- brid pulsators, whose oscillations are excited in two different layers and/or by two different mechanisms, occur. Finally, new discoveries are being made frequently, which then drive new theoretical developments possibly leading to new instability regions. The results from the future observing facilities as described in Chapter 8 will surely lead to new classes and/or subclasses with lower amplitudes compared to what is presently achievable. In the tables below, F stands for fundamental radial mode, FO for first radial overtone and S for strange mode oscillations.

  • Investigation of the Nebular Remnants of Novae Valério
    Investigation of the Nebular Remnants of Novae Val´erio A. R. M. Ribeiro Astrophysics Research Institute A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Liverpool John Moores University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. January 2011 Declaration The work presented in this thesis was carried out at the Astrophysics Research Institute, Faculty of Science, Liverpool John Moores University. Unless otherwise stated, it is the original work of the author. While registered as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, for which submission is now made, the author has not been registered as a candidate for any other award. This thesis has not been submitted in whole, or in part, for any other degree. ii Abstract Classical and recurrent nova outbursts occur on the surface of a white dwarf in a close binary system. It is widely established that the outburst is due to a thermonuclear runaway. Their study provides a real-time laboratory for the understanding of a wide range of astrophysical phenomena. These include for example, mass transfer in close binary systems, nuclear powered outbursts, dust formation, mass loss from red giants, and many others. Recurrent novae have also been suggested as the progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae. This thesis concentrates on investigating the nebular remnants of novae by study- ing both resolved imaging (where available) and spectroscopic evolution and com- bining this with detailed modelling. Such studies have wider implications for example in our understanding of the shaping of proto-Planetary Nebulae. Here, using a morpho-kinematical code, the true 3D geometry, from which in- formation such as the remnant’s inclination angle and expansion velocity can be derived, of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi and classical novae V2491 Cygni, V2672 Ophiuchi and KT Eridani are established and related to other character- istics of each system.
