  • Star Systems in the Solar Neighborhood up to 10 Parsecs Distance
    Vol. 16 No. 3 June 15, 2020 Journal of Double Star Observations Page 229 Star Systems in the Solar Neighborhood up to 10 Parsecs Distance Wilfried R.A. Knapp Vienna, Austria [email protected] Abstract: The stars and star systems in the solar neighborhood are for obvious reasons the most likely best investigated stellar objects besides the Sun. Very fast proper motion catches the attention of astronomers and the small distances to the Sun allow for precise measurements so the wealth of data for most of these objects is impressive. This report lists 94 star systems (doubles or multiples most likely bound by gravitation) in up to 10 parsecs distance from the Sun as well over 60 questionable objects which are for different reasons considered rather not star systems (at least not within 10 parsecs) but might be if with a small likelihood. A few of the listed star systems are newly detected and for several systems first or updated preliminary orbits are suggested. A good part of the listed nearby star systems are included in the GAIA DR2 catalog with par- allax and proper motion data for at least some of the components – this offers the opportunity to counter-check the so far reported data with the most precise star catalog data currently available. A side result of this counter-check is the confirmation of the expectation that the GAIA DR2 single star model is not well suited to deliver fully reliable parallax and proper motion data for binary or multiple star systems. 1. Introduction high proper motion speed might cause visually noticea- The answer to the question at which distance the ble position changes from year to year.

Introduction Scientists across all fields use classification systems to help them sub-divide the vast universe of objects and phenomena into smaller groups, making them easier to study. In biology, life can be categorized by cellular properties. Animals are separated from plants, cats separated from dogs, oak trees separated from pine trees, etc. This framework allows biologists to better understand how processes are FIGURE 1: SPECTRUM OF VEGA interconnected and quickly predict characteristics of newly discovered species. In Astronomy, the stellar classification system allows scientists to understand the p r o p e r t i e s o f s t a r s . E a r l y astronomers began to realize that the extensive number of stars exhibited patterns related to the starʼs color and temperature. This classification was good, but had limitations (especially for studying distant stars). By the early 1900ʼs, a classification system based on the observed stellar spectra was developed and is still used today. A STELLAR SPECTRUM is a measurement of a 1 Spectral Classification of Stars starʼs brightness across of range of wavelengths (or frequencies). It is in a sense a “fingerprint” for the star, containing features that reveal the chemical composition, age, and temperature. This measurement is made by “breaking up” the light from the star into individual wavelengths, much like how a prism or a raindrop separates the sunlight into a rainbow.

The planet must be in the habitable zone of its star: not be too close or too far Venera 13 lander, survived 127mn at 457 C, 89 atm Venus: too close, too hot Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS Mars: too far, too cold What makes planets habitable ? Size matters: not too big, not too small Earth Moon: too small Jupiter: too big No atmosphere Mostly gas lots of planets, ~>10% of stars have potentially habitable planets ~300 billion stars in our galaxy ~300 billion stars in our galaxy ~30 billion habitable planets If 100 explorers were sent to visit each habitable for 10 seconds (only 300 million planets/explorer)... … it would take 95 yrs to complete the habitable exoplanets tour … in our galaxy alone 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe How do astronomers identify exoplanets ? HIGH PRECISION OPTICAL MEASUREMENTS OF STARLIGHT (indirect techniques) Earth around Sun at ~30 light year → Star position moves by 0.3 micro arcsecond (thickness of a human hair at 20,000 miles) → Star velocity is modulated by 10cm / sec (changes light frequency by 1 part in 3,000,000,000) If Earth-like planet passes in front of Sun-like star, star dims by 70 parts per million (12x12 pixel going dark on a HD TV screen 70 miles away) Exoplanet transit If the planet passes in front of its star, we see the star dimming slightly Transit of Venus, June 2012 Kepler (NASA) Directly imaging planet is necessary to find life Woolf et al.

  • 29:50/29:51 Stars, Galaxies and the Universe
    29:50/29:51 Stars, Lab Galaxies and the Universe Manual Lab manual for the introductory astronomy course of Stars, Galaxies and the Universe. Topics covered in this manual include units of measurement, star charts, parallax, spectroscopy, the sun, stellar classification, Plus Appendices and basic astronomical image analysis. Last edited August 2009 by T. Jaeger ABOUT THIS MANUAL This packet contains a series of lab projects intended to supplement the material covered in your introductory astronomy course. As this is a separate lab course, the subjects covered may not always directly follow material discussed in the lecture. Instead, the projects are meant to support the concepts taught in the lecture and teach you techniques used by past (and present) astronomers to reveal the secrets of the universe around them. Along with instructive text, the individual lab exercises contain a series of questions designed both to guide your progress and test your understanding of the concepts discussed. Your score for the project will be determined by how well you answer these questions. If you are confused about questions as you progress, ask your lab instructor for assistance. Questions near the end of the project often build on earlier ones, so it is better that you ask now than to be confused later. Each project is designed to take one full lab period and (unless otherwise instructed) is to be completed and returned to your lab instructor at the end of the allotted lab time. Projects are intended to be done with a lab partner. While discussion is encouraged, make sure that the answers to each question are your own.

  • Can TMT Image Habitable Planets ?
    Can TMT Image Habitable Planets ? Olivier Guyon Japanese Astrobiology Center, National Institutes for Natural Sciences (NINS) Subaru Telescope, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NINS) University of Arizona Breakthrough Watch committee chair May 12, 2017 Why directly imaging ? Woolf et al. Spectra can also be obtained by transit, but : - Low probability (few %) - High atmosphere only Spectra of Earth (taken by looking at Earthshine) shows evidence for life and plants Taking images of exoplanets: Why is it hard ? 3 4 Contrast and Angular separation 1 λ/D 1 λ/D 1 λ/D Around about 50 stars (M type), λ=1600nm λ=1600nm λ=10000nm rocky planets in habitable zone D = 30m D = 8m D = 30m could be imaged and their spectra acquired [ assumes 1e-8 contrast limit, 1 l/D IWA ] K-type and nearest G-type stars M-type stars are more challenging, but could be accessible if raw contrast can be pushed to ~1e-7 (models tell us it's possible) Thermal emission from habitable planets around nearby A, F, G log10 contrast type stars is detectable with ELTs K-type stars G-type stars 1 Re rocky planets in HZ for stars within 30pc (6041 stars) F-type stars Angular separation (log10 arcsec) Contrast and Angular separation (updated) 1 λ/D 1 λ/D 1 λ/D Around about 50 stars (M type), λ=1600nm λ=1600nm λ=10000nm rocky planets in habitable zone D = 30m D = 8m D = 30m could be imaged and their spectra acquired [ assumes 1e-8 contrast limit, 1 l/D IWA ] K-type and nearest G-type stars M-type stars are more challenging, but could be accessible if raw contrast can be
