  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

  • 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.

  • The Star Cluster Collinder 232 in the Carina Complex and Its Relation to Trumpler 14/16 Almost Coeval
    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. AA0335 August 15, 2018 (DOI: will be inserted by hand later) The star cluster Collinder 232 in the Carina complex and its relation to Trumpler 14/16⋆ Giovanni Carraro1,2, Martino Romaniello2, Paolo Ventura3, and Ferdinando Patat2 1 Dipartimento di Astronomia, Universit`adi Padova, vicolo dell’Osservatorio 2, I-35122, Padova, Italy 2 European Southern Observatory, Karl-Schwarzschild-Str 2, D-85748 Garching b. M¨unchen, Germany 3 Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma, Via di Frascati 33, I-00040, Monte Porzio Catone, Italy Received September 2003; accepted Abstract. In this paper we present and analyze new CCD UBV RI photometry down to V ≈ 21 in the region of the young open cluster Collinder 232, located in the Carina spiral arm, and discuss its relationship to Trumpler 14 and Trumpler 16, the two most prominent young open clusters located in the core of NGC 3372 (the Carina Nebula). First of all we study the extinction pattern in the region. We find that the total to selective absorption ratio RV differs from cluster to cluster, being 3.48 ± 0.11, 4.16 ± 0.07 and 3.73 ± 0.01 for Trumpler 16, Trumpler 14 and Collinder 232, respectively. Then we derive individual reddenings and intrinsic colours and magnitudes using the method devised by Romaniello et al. (2002). Ages, age spreads and distances are then estimated by comparing the Colour Magnitude Diagrams and the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram with post and pre-main sequence tracks and isochrones. We find that Trumpler 14 and Collinder 232 lie at the same distance from the Sun (about 2.5 kpc), whereas Trumpler 16 lies much further out, at about 4 kpc from the Sun.

NGC 3114 lies in the outskirts of the Carina nebula. We found 7 star members in a severely contaminated field, and obtain a distance of 950 pc and an age less than 3 108 yrs. Collinder 228 is a younger cluster (8 106 yrs), located in× front of the Carina nebula complex, for which we identify 11 new members and suggest that 30%× of the stars are probably binaries. As for vdB-Hagen 99, we add 4 new members, confirming that it is a nearby cluster located at 500 pc from the Sun and projected toward the direction of the Carina spiral arm. Key words.

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.

  • The Astrophysical Journal, Vol. 148, May 1967 EVIDENCE of TIDAL EFFECTS in SOME PULSATING STARS I. CC ANDROMEDAE and SIGMA SCORP
    The Astrophysical Journal, Vol. 148, May 1967 EVIDENCE OF TIDAL EFFECTS IN SOME PULSATING STARS I. CC ANDROMEDAE AND SIGMA SCORPII W. S. Fitch Steward Observatory, University of Arizona Received October 31, 1966 ABSTRACT Analyses of the light variation of the b Scuti star CC Andromedae and of the radial velocity varia- tion of the ß Canis Majoris star a Scorpii, a single-line spectroscopic binary, indicate that the long- period modulations exhibited are caused by tidal deformations induced in the hydrogen and/or helium ionization zones of each primary by a faint companion, resulting in surface zonal variations of the ampli- tude and phase of each primary’s normal radial pulsations. The variations in the tide-raising potential calculated at the center of the apparent disk of a Scorpii correlate very strongly with the observed variations in the phase zero point of the fundamental pulsation. It is suggested that all the ß Canis Majoris and 8 Scuti stars exhibiting long-period modulation, and probably also the RR Lyrae stars showing a Blazhko effect, do so because of tidal perturbations induced by faint companions. I. INTRODUCTION Among the shorter-period, regularly pulsating stars, the occurrence of long-period beats (Pl 30 P0, say, where Pl signifies the long period and P0 the fundamental) is fairly common. In particular, many of the ß Canis Majoris stars (Ledoux and Walraven 1958), the b Scuti stars (Eggen 1956a, b), and the RR Lyrae stars (Detre 1956) exhibit repetitive variations in the phase and amplitude and/or shape of their light, color, and velocity curves, and a variety of explanations of these modulation phenomena have been advanced.

  • Inference for Stellar Opacities from Seismic Studies of the Hybrid Β Cep/SPB Pulsators

Kopernika 11, 51-622 Wrocław, Poland 2Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center Polish Academy of Sciences, ul. Bartycka 18, 00-716 Warsaw, Poland Abstract. We present a comprehensive seismic study of the three pulsating stars of β Cep/SPB type: ν Eridani, 12 Lacertae and γ Pegasi. Models with the modified mean opacity profile are constructed in order to account for both the observed frequency range and the values of some individual frequencies. To decrease the number of possible so- lutions, we make use of the non-adiabatic parameter f , whose value is very sensitive to subphotospheric layers where pulsations are driven. This complex seismic modelling shows the need for a significant modification of the opacity profile. 1 Introduction The hybrid pulsators, exhibiting oscillations both in low order p/g modes and high order g modes, pose a challenge for pulsation theory because the range of their observed frequencies cannot be explained by standard models. To overcome this problem an increase of the opacity at the certain depths was postulated by many authors (i.e., [1–3]). This approach is justified by recent experiments ([4]), where higher than predicted opacities of iron and nickel were measured. Here we analyse the three well known hybrid β Cep/SPB pulsators: ν Eri (HD 29248), γ Peg (HD 886) and 12 Lac (HD 214993).
