  • Multiplicity of Late-Type B Stars with Hgmn Peculiarity
    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. 14246 c ESO 2018 November 20, 2018 Multiplicity of late-type B stars with HgMn peculiarity⋆ M. Sch¨oller1, S. Correia2, S. Hubrig2, and N. Ageorges3 1 European Southern Observatory, Karl-Schwarzschild-Str. 2, 85748 Garching, Germany e-mail: [email protected] 2 Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam, An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam, Germany 3 Max-Planck-Institut f¨ur extraterrestrische Physik, Giessenbachstrasse 1, 85748 Garching, Germany Received September 15, 1996; accepted March 16, 1997 ABSTRACT Context. Observations at various wavelengths of late B-type stars exhibiting strong overabundances of the chemical elements Hg and Mn in their atmospheres indicate that these stars are frequently found in binary and multiple systems. Aims. We intend to study the multiplicity of this type of chemically peculiar stars, looking for visual companions in ′′ ′′ the range of angular separation between 0. 05 and 8 . Methods. We carried out a survey of 56 stars using diffraction-limited near-infrared imaging with NAOS-CONICA at the VLT. Results. Thirty-three companion candidates in 24 binaries, three triples, and one quadruple system were detected. Nine companion candidates were found for the first time in this study. Five objects are likely chance projections. The detected companion candidates have K magnitudes between 5m. 95 and 18m. 07 and angular separations ranging from ′′ ′′ <0. 05 to 7. 8, corresponding to linear projected separations of 13.5–1700 AU. Conclusions. Our study clearly confirms that HgMn stars are frequently members of binary and multiple systems. Taking into account companions found by other techniques, the multiplicity fraction in our sample may be as high as 91%.

  • Motorcycle Safety
    Motorcycle Safety According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are more than 30 times more likely to die in a crash than occupants of cars, and five times more likely to be injured. Safe motorcycling takes balance, coordination and good judgment. Tips for motorcyclists ► Wear protective gear at all times, including a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) compliant helmet. Look for the DOT symbol on the outside back of the helmet. ► Choose brightly colored clothing to make yourself more visible. If you wear dark clothing, wear a reflective vest. ► To be easily seen by other drivers, turn headlights on, even in daylight hours. ► When riding at night, wear only clear eye protection (not tinted), and keep it clean and free of scratches. ► Never ride while impaired by drugs or alcohol. ► Ride within your own skill limits. ► Obey all traffic laws and ride with the flow of traffic ► Leave plenty of room between your bike and other vehicles. Your stopping distance may be increased if you have a passenger or heavy bundle. ► Get trained and licensed. For information on Kentucky’s Motorcycle Rider Education Course, call 1-800-396-3234 or visit www.kytc.ky.gov/drlic/motorcycle/kmrep.htm Kentucky’s motorcycle helmet law Kentucky first enacted a motorcycle helmet law for all riders in 1968. This law was amended in July 1998 to require helmet use only by: Motorcycle operators and passengers under the age of 21; Motorcycle operators who possess a motorcycle instruction permit; Motorcycle operators who have had an operator’s license for less than one year.

Ouellet Head Protection Research Laboratory United States Paper No. 98-SlO-P-30 ABSTRACT accident events. Accident research has shown that there is significant benefit of motorcycle helmets in Traditional motorcycle helmet performance reducing the frequency and severity of head injury. standards provide a test for the strength and stiffness Accident research also has shown that the ejection of of the retention system.
