This technical memorandum describes the vehicles and test approach. An overview of the flight test results and comparisons with the design predictions are presented. These comparisons are made on a single-discipline basis, so that aerodynamics, structures, flight controls, and propulsion controls are examined one by one. The interactions between the disciplines are then examined, with the conclusions that the integration of the various technologies contributed to total vehicle performance gains. An assessment is made of the subscale RPRV approach from the standpoint of research data quality and quantity, unmanned effects as compared with manned vehicles, complexity, and cost. It is concluded that the RPRV technique, as adopted in this program, resulted in a more complex and costly vehicle than expected but is reasonable when compared with alternate ways of obtaining comparable results.

Electrons could be accelerated to relativistic velocities either in the shock region of a colliding wind binary (Eichler & Usov 1993, ApJ 402, 271) or in the shocks due to intrinsic wind instabilities of a single star (Chen & White 1994, Ap&SS 221, 259). Dougherty & Williams (2000, MNRAS 319, 1005) pointed out that 7 out of 9 WR stars with non-thermal radio emission are in fact binary systems. This result clearly supports the colliding wind scenario. In the present issue of the Hot Star Newsletter, we announce the results of a multi-wavelength campaign on the O4 V star 9 Sgr (= HD 164794; see the abstract by Rauw et al.).

  • Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud As Testbed for Massive Star Evolution A
    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. smc˙wr c ESO 2018 February 8, 2018 Wolf-Rayet stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud as testbed for massive star evolution A. Schootemeijer and N. Langer Argelander-Institut¨ fur¨ Astronomie, Universitat¨ Bonn, Auf dem Hugel¨ 71, 53121 Bonn, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Received September 5, 2017; accepted December 5, 2017 ABSTRACT Context. The majority of the Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars represent the stripped cores of evolved massive stars who lost most of their hydrogen envelope. Wind stripping in single stars is expected to be inefficient in producing WR stars in metal-poor environments such as the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). While binary interaction can also produce WR stars at low metallicity, it is puzzling that the fraction of WR binaries appears to be about 40%, independent of the metallicity. Aims. We aim to use the recently determined physical properties of the twelve known SMC WR stars to explore their possible formation channels through comparisons with stellar models. Methods. We used the MESA stellar evolution code to construct two grids of stellar models with SMC metallicity. One of these consists of models of rapidly rotating single stars, which evolve in part or completely chemically homogeneously. In a second grid, we analyzed core helium burning stellar models assuming constant hydrogen and helium gradients in their envelopes Results. We find that chemically homogeneous evolution is not able to account for the majority of the WR stars in the SMC. However, in particular the apparently single WR star SMC AB12, and the double WR system SMC AB5 (HD 5980) appear consistent with this channel.

  • ULLYSES)​ High-Mass and Low-Mass, Young Stars
    REPORT of the HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE ULTRAVIOLET LEGACY SCIENCE DEFINITION WORKING GROUP Sally Oey, University of Michigan (Chair) Nate Bastian, Liverpool John Moores University Nuria Calvet, University of Michigan Paul Crowther, University of Sheffield Andrew Fox, Space Telescope Science Institute Jay Gallagher, University of Wisconsin, Ana I. Gómez de Castro, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Gregory Herczeg, Peking University Claus Leitherer, Space Telescope Science Institute Christy Tremonti, University of Wisconsin Neill Reid, Space Telescope Science Institute (ex officio) Tom Brown, Space Telescope Science Institute (ex officio) 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Star formation is the basis for understanding cosmic origins from the largest scales to the smallest. High-mass stars are the tracers of star formation on extragalactic and galactic scales, and are the powerhouses of radiative, mechanical, and nucleosynthetic feedback, thus playing an essential role in galaxy evolution across cosmic time. Low-mass stars are the vast majority of stellar mass in the universe and are home to planetary systems, including the only one we know in detail: our own. At ages < 10 Myr, both high-mass and low-mass stars generate complex UV emission processes that are difficult to model, and these are central to a wide range of vital astrophysical problems, ranging from cosmic reionization to the origin of our Earth. Therefore, in response to the STScI Director’s charge to identify a large, legacy UV program focused on star formation and related stellar physics, the HST UV Legacy Science Definition Working Group recommends that the HST UV Initiative be devoted to obtaining a ​ Hubble UV Legacy Library of to serve as a UV spectroscopic reference sample of Young Stars as Essential Standards (ULLYSES)​ high-mass and low-mass, young stars.

  • Bill Extends Various Fees to Fund Air Programs Valley Swelters In
    Bill extends various fees to fund air programs By Laura Olson, Associated Press San Jose Mercury News, Saturday, June 30, 2013 SACRAMENTO, Calif.—The Assembly on Thursday advanced a bill extending a series of fees to pay for programs aimed at improving air quality. Democratic Assemblyman Henry Perea of Fresno said his legislation is needed to continue reducing air pollution. He says more than 90 percent of Californians live in counties with unhealthy air during some parts of the year. "While great progress has been made in improving air quality, California has two of the most polluted regions in the nation: the South Coast Air Basin and the San Joaquin Valley," Perea said. Fees to be extended under AB8 include ones on new tires and vehicle and boat registrations. It also extends a smog abatement charge on newer cars and an assessment on special identification plates for construction equipment. Those fees are scheduled to expire by 2016 but would be extended until 2024 under Perea's bill. Some of the funds would be directed toward creating a network of fueling stations for hydrogen-powered vehicles. Republicans said the legislation would cost taxpayers more than $2 billion over the next eight years. They said that would encourage people to leave the state. "We can't keep going back to the tax well over and over again," said Assemblyman Don Wagner. "At some point we'll have the cleanest air in the world because we'll have driven everyone out." The bill passed the Assembly on a 55-19 vote. It now awaits consideration in the Senate.

Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are stripped stellar cores that form through strong stellar wind or binary mass transfer. It is proposed that binary evolution plays a vital role in the formation of WR stars in low metallicity environments due to the metallicity dependance of stellar winds. However observations indicate a similar binary fraction of WR stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) compared to the Milky Way. There are twelve WR stars in the SMC and five of them are members of binary systems. One of them (SMC AB8) harbors a WO type star. In this work we explore possible formation channels of this binary. We use the MESA code to compute large grids of binary evolution models, and then use least square fitting to compare our models with the observations. In order to reproduce the key properties of SMC AB8, we require efficient semiconvection to produce a sufficiently large convective core, as well as a longer He-burning lifetime. We also need a high mass loss rate during the WN stage to assist the removal of the outer envelope.

  • University Microfilms International
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

These massive stars are the primary sources of stellar feedback in star-forming galaxies. At low metallicities, the properties of massive stars and their evolution are not yet fully explored. Here we report a spectroscopic study of 320 massive stars of spectral types O (23 stars) and B (297 stars) in the Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The spectra, which we obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope, were analyzed using state-of-the-art stellar atmosphere models, and the stellar parameters were determined.
