Received: 5 May 2014; in revised form: 20 June 2014 / Accepted: 16 July 2014 / Published: 7 August 2014 Abstract: The significance of Stark broadening data for problems in astrophysics, physics, as well as for technological plasmas is discussed and applications of Stark broadening parameters calculated using a semiclassical perturbation method are analyzed. Keywords: Stark broadening; isolated lines; impact approximation 1. Introduction Stark broadening parameters of neutral atom and ion lines are of interest for a number of problems in astrophysical, laboratory, laser produced, fusion or technological plasma investigations. Especially the development of space astronomy has enabled the collection of a huge amount of spectroscopic data of all kinds of celestial objects within various spectral ranges. Consequently, the atomic data for trace elements, which had not been

All were produced at my own expense and offered to the public at much less than cost price ; but this unscrupulous artifice did not overcome the natural disrelish of mankind for the combination of a tedious author with an odious editor. Of each volume there were printed 400 copies : only the first is yet sold out, and that took 23 years ; and the reason why it took no longer is that it found purchasers among the unlearned, who had heard that it contained a scurrilous preface and hoped to extract from it a low enjoyment. A preface to this Fifth book shall foUow, but first I will take a retrospective survey of the period ; and I begin with the question of the Mss. Of p, the second of the two families, now shrunk to a single representative M, I need here say little beyond what will be found on pp, 101 sq. and 104. J have satisfied myself by comparison that U and R throughout, and V so far as it concerns us, are scions of M, and I have no doubt that H, though I have not read it through, is another.

  • OUTCOME of SIX CANDIDATE TRANSITING PLANETS from a Tres FIELD in ANDROMEDA Francis T
    The Astrophysical Journal, 662:658–668, 2007 June 10 # 2007. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Printed in U.S.A. OUTCOME OF SIX CANDIDATE TRANSITING PLANETS FROM A TrES FIELD IN ANDROMEDA Francis T. O’Donovan,1 David Charbonneau,2,3 Roi Alonso,4 Timothy M. Brown,5 Georgi Mandushev,6 Edward W. Dunham,6 David W. Latham,2 Robert P. Stefanik,2 Guillermo Torres,2 and Mark E. Everett7 Received 2006 July 22; accepted 2007 February 7 ABSTRACT Driven by the incomplete understanding of the formation of gas giant extrasolar planets and of their mass-radius relationship, several ground-based, wide-field photometric campaigns are searching the skies for new transiting ex- trasolar gas giants. As part of the Trans-atlantic Exoplanet Survey (TrES), in 2003/2004 we monitored approximately 30,000 stars (9:5 V 15:5) in a 5:7 ; 5:7 field in Andromeda with three telescopes over 5 months. We identified six candidate transiting planets from the stellar light curves. From subsequent follow-up observations we rejected each of these as an astrophysical false positive, i.e., a stellar system containing an eclipsing binary, whose light curve mimics that of a Jupiter-sized planet transiting a Sunlike star. We discuss here the procedures followed by the TrES team to reject false positives from our list of candidate transiting hot Jupiters. We present these candidates as early examples of the various types of astrophysical false positives found in the TrES campaign, and discuss what we learned from the analysis. Subject headinggs: planetary systems — techniques: photometric — techniques: radial velocities 1.

  • Ground-And Space-Based Detection of the Thermal Emission Spectrum
    Draft version September 3, 2021 Preprint typeset using LATEX style emulateapj v. 04/17/13 GROUND- AND SPACE-BASED DETECTION OF THE THERMAL EMISSION SPECTRUM OF THE TRANSITING HOT JUPITER KELT-2AB Danielle Piskorz1, Cam Buzard2, Michael R. Line3, Heather A. Knutson1, Bjorn¨ Benneke4, Nathan R. Crockett1, Alexandra C. Lockwood5, Geoffrey A. Blake1,2, Travis S. Barman6, Chad F. Bender7, Drake Deming8, John A. Johnson9 Draft version September 3, 2021 ABSTRACT We describe the detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of the transiting hot Jupiter KELT- 2Ab by treating the star-planet system as a spectroscopic binary with high-resolution, ground-based spectroscopy. We resolve the signal of the planet's motion with deep combined flux observations of the star and the planet. In total, six epochs of Keck NIRSPEC L-band observations were obtained, and the full data set was subjected to a cross correlation analysis with a grid of self-consistent atmospheric −1 models. We measure a radial projection of the Keplerian velocity, KP , of 148 ± 7 km s , consistent with transit measurements, and detect water vapor at 3.8σ. We combine NIRSPEC L-band data with Spitzer IRAC secondary eclipse data to further probe the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen ratio of KELT-2Ab's atmosphere. While the NIRSPEC analysis provides few extra constraints on the Spitzer data, it does provide roughly the same constraints on metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen ratio. This bodes well for future investigations of the atmospheres of non-transiting hot Jupiters. Keywords: techniques: spectroscopic | planets and satellites: atmospheres 1. INTRODUCTION troscopy provides a distinctly molecular approach to the Thousands of extrasolar planets have been discovered study of hot Jupiter atmospheres.

J. Irwin,1 A. M. N. Ferguson,2 A. P. Huxor,2 N. R. Tanvir,3 R. A. Ibata,4 and G. F. Lewis5 Received 2008 January 23; accepted 2008 February 6; published 2008 March 4 ABSTRACT We report the discovery of a new dwarf spheroidal galaxy near M31 on the basis of INT/WFC imaging. The system, Andromeda XVII (And XVII), is located at a projected radius of ≈44 kpc from M31, has a line-of-sight kpc measured using the tip of the red giant branch, and therefore lies well within the halo 40 ע distance of794 of M31. The color of the red giant branch implies a metallicity of[Fe/H] ≈ Ϫ1.9 , and we find an absolute magnitude ≈ Ϫ ofMV 8.5 . Three globular clusters lie near the main body of And XVII, suggesting a possible association; if any of these are confirmed, it would make And XVII exceptionally unusual among the faint dSph population. The projected position on the sky of And XVII strengthens an intriguing alignment apparent in the satellite system of M31, although with a caveat about biases stemming from the current area surveyed to significant depth. Subject headings: galaxies: dwarf — galaxies: halos — galaxies: individual (M31) — globular clusters: general Online material: color figures 1. INTRODUCTION Way will contribute to a resolution of the missing satellite problem (e.g., Simon & Geha 2007).
