  • A Photometric and Spectroscopic Study of Selected Southern, Chromospherically Active Stars
    A PHOTOMETRIC AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF SELECTED SOUTHERN, CHROMOSPHERICALLY ACTIVE STARS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ASTRONOMY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY by LYNDON WATSON· University of Canterbury 1999 ii YSICAL IENCES 3RARY Q5 <6;23 ,W333 1999 Abstract The results of a combined photometric and high-resolution spectroscopic study of south­ ern active-chromosphere stars selected from the ROSAT Bright Source Catalogue are presented. The star CS Ceti (HD 6628) is shown to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary and an orbital solution derived from' radial-velocity measurements is presented. Evidence that one of the stars is an F-type dwarf and the other a highly active G-type subgiant is presented, together with information on the apparently asynchronous rotation of the latter and the spatial origin of its Ha emission. The system BB Sculptoris (HD 9770) is shown to include a chromospherically active eclipsing binary of the BY Dra class and evidence that this is the star previously known as HD 9770B is presented. A precise orbital period is presented. Further evidence is presented to show that the star known as HD 9770A is also a binary system, one member of which dominates the absorption spectrum of BB ScI. Two further stars selected from the Bright Source Catalogue are recommended for further study: HD 147633 in which a known binary system is found to contain a further chromospherically active, short-period, double-lined spectroscopic binary; and HD 222259, a known chromospherically active binary in the light curve of which a spot wave which persists on a time scale of years has been found and for which a precise period is presented.

By means of the spectral subtraction technique, several optical chromo- spheric activity indicators (including the He I D3, Na I D1,D2 doublet, Hα and Ca II IRT lines) covered in our echelle spectra were analyzed. Four large optical flare events were detected on UX Ari during our observations, which show prominent He I D3 line emission together with great enhancement in emis- sion of the Hα and Ca II IRT lines and strong filled-in or emission reversal features in the Na I D1,D2 doublet lines. The newly detected flares are much more energetic than previous discoveries, especially for the flare identified during the 2002 December observing run. Optical flare events on UX Ari are more likely to be observed around two quadratures of the system, except for our optical flares detected during the 2004 November observing run.

  • Stellar Flaring Periodicities
    Mem. S.A.It. Vol. 78, 247 c SAIt 2007 Memorie della Stellar flaring periodicities Maria Massi Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, Auf dem Hugel¨ 69, D-53121 Bonn, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Long term monitoring of the radio flux density of a sample of cool, rapidly rotating stars in binary systems has revealed periodicities in their flaring activity. In one system, V773 Tau A, the flaring periodicity is caused by inter-binary collisions of large magnetic structures like solar helmet streamers. In another system, UX Arietis, the flaring periodicity depends on an intrinsic mechanism originating in the stellar interior, that im- plies preferred areas for the (periodical) emergence of magnetic flux tubes. The periodical interaction between old and new flux tubes triggers magnetic reconnection and periodical flares. Connecting that behaviour to the Sun, the Rieger periodicities (solar cycles with a time scale of months) are reviewed. Key words.

The nights are starting earlier and earlier as the weather becomes more and more comfortable and all of our old favorites of the fall and winter skies really start finding their places right where they belong. October was a busy month for us, with several big functions at the Observatory, including two oppositions and two more all night celebrations. By comparison, November is looking fairly calm, the big focus there is going to be our third annual Natural Sky Conference on the 13th, which I’m encouraging people who care about the state of light pollution in our city and the surrounding area to get involved in.

  • BV Photometry of UX Arietis
    J. Astrophys. Astr. (1989) 10, 35–45 BV Photometry of UX Arietis S. Mohin & A. V. Raveendran Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore 560034 Received 1988 October 20; accepted 1988 December 21 Abstract. Differential BV photometry of UX Ari obtained on 58 nights during 1984–85, 1985–86, 1986–87, and 1987–88 observing season is presented. We find that (B – V) is phase dependent with the system being reddest at the light maximum and we interpret this as due to the variable fractional contribution by the G5 V component to the total light at shorter wavelengths. An analysis of the available data indicates that at larger amplitudes of the photometric wave the brightness at maximum increases and that at minimum decreases and both converge to ∆V ≃ 1.0 mag at very low amplitudes. It implies that the low wave amplitudes are essentially due to more homogeneity in the surface distribution of spots rather than due to low levels of spot activity. The variation in wave amplitude is found to be near-sinusoidal with a period around 13–14 years. Key words: BV photometry—RS CVn binaries—UX Arietis—spot activity 1. Introduction The RS Canum Venaticorum binary UX Arietis (HD 21242, BD + 28° 0532) has been the object of several observational studies at wide wavelength regions (Walter, Charles & Bowyer 1978; Gibson, Hjellming & Owen 1975; Mutel & Weisberg 1978; Spangler 1977; Owen, Jones & Gibson 1976). It is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 6.438 days and the spectral types of primary and secondary components are K0 IV and G5 V, respectively (Carlos & Popper 1971).
