  • 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.

Mars Hill Rd., Flagstaff, AZ, USA Received 2015 January 6; accepted 2015 February 26; published 2015 May 4 ABSTRACT Precise and accurate parameters for late-type (late K and M) dwarf stars are important for characterization of any orbiting planets, but such determinations have been hampered by these stars’ complex spectra and dissimilarity to the Sun. We exploit an empirically calibrated method to estimate spectroscopic effective temperature (Teff) and the Stefan–Boltzmann law to determine radii of 183 nearby K7–M7 single stars with a precision of 2%–5%. Our improved stellar parameters enable us to develop model-independent relations between Teff or absolute magnitude and radius, as well as between color and Teff. The derived Teff–radius relation depends strongly on [Fe/H],as predicted by theory.

Cargile6, S. B. Dieterich 7;11, A. J. Bradley8, E. P. Nelan9, and A. L. Whipple10 ABSTRACT We present a Mass-Luminosity Relation (MLR) for red dwarfs spanning a range of masses from 0.62 M to the end of the stellar main sequence at 0.08 M . The relation is based on 47 stars for which dynamical masses have been determined, primarily using astrometric data from Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) 3 and 1r, white-light interferometers on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and radial velocity data from McDonald Observatory. For our HST/FGS sample of 15 binaries, component mass errors range from 0.4% to 4.0% with a median error of 1.8%. With these and masses from other sources, we construct a V -band MLR for the lower main sequence with 47 stars, and a K-band MLR with 45 stars with fit residuals half of those of the V -band. We use GJ 831 AB as an example, obtaining an absolute trigonometric par- allax, πabs = 125:3 ± 0:3 milliseconds of arc, with orbital elements yielding MA = 0:270 ± 0:004M and MB = 0:145 ± 0:002M . The mass precision rivals that derived for eclipsing binaries. 2McDonald Observatory, University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712 3RECONS Institute, Chambersburg, PA 17201 4Lowell Observatory, 1400 West Mars Hill Rd., Flagstaff, AZ 86001 5Dept.

  • Physics of Transcendental Numbers Meets Gravitation
    Issue 1 (April) PROGRESS IN PHYSICS Volume 17 (2021) Physics of Transcendental Numbers Meets Gravitation Hartmut Muller¨ E-mail: [email protected] Transcendental ratios of physical quantities can provide stability in complex dynamic systems because they inhibit the occurrence of destabilizing resonance.

  • Erosion of an Exoplanetary Atmosphere Caused by Stellar Winds J

We present a formalism for a first-order estimation of the magnetosphere radius of exoplanets orbiting stars in the range from 0.08 to 1.3 M . With this radius, we estimate the atmospheric surface that is not protected from stellar winds. We have analyzed this unprotected surface for the most extreme environment for exoplanets: GKM-type and very low-mass stars at the two limits of the habitable zone. The estimated unprotected surface makes it possible to define a likelihood for an exoplanet to retain its atmosphere. This function can be incorporated into the new habitability index SEPHI. Methods. Using different formulations in the literature in addition to stellar and exoplanet physical characteristics, we estimated the stellar magnetic induction, the main characteristics of the stellar wind, and the different star-planet interaction regions (sub- and super- Alfvénic, sub- and supersonic). With this information, we can estimate the radius of the exoplanet magnetopause and thus the exoplanet unprotected surface.

The nearest stars provide a fundamental constraint for our understanding of stellar physics and the Galaxy. The nearby sample serves as an anchor where all objects can be seen and understood with precise data. This work is triggered by the most recent data release of the astrometric space mission Gaia and uses its unprecedented high precision parallax measurements to review the census of objects within 10 pc. Aims. The first aim of this work was to compile all stars and brown dwarfs within 10 pc observable by Gaia and compare it with the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars as a quality assurance test. We complement the list to get a full 10 pc census, including bright stars, brown dwarfs, and exoplanets.

    Orbit The Official Publication of The Hamilton Centre, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Volume 47, Issue 8: June, 2015 Issue Number 8, June, 2015 Roger Hill, Editor Here we go...AstroCATS 2015! If you haven’t been to one before, then here’s what you should know: AstroCATS is a great place to check out equip- ment. It’s a great place to hear some great talks by some great speakers; do some solar observing; meet with some old friends and make some new ones. Unfortunately for me, it’s increasingly looking like I will indeed have to work that weekend. I may be able to make the final couple of hours, so I’m hoping there are still some bargains left. If, unlike me, you have some time to attend AstroCATS this year, the organizers sure could use your help. Go to http://www.astrocats.ca/volunteer.html and let them know your availability. It’s always fun, and while it may be my imagination, I think volunteers may just get a little extra discount from the vendors. Of course, with the venue being the Ontario Science Centre, there’s always lots more to go for than just astronomy! Head on over to the website—www.astrocats.ca—and check everything out. One final thing...NEAF, in the US, is renowned for vendors using it to announce new products. I’m hearing that a Cana- dian company is going to use AstroCATS to do the same thing...and not just one product, but 3! I had the opportunity after the May long weekend to do some driving into the US with my son.

See past issues back to 2009 at http://brastro.org/newsletters.html Newsletter of the Baton Rouge Astronomical Society September 2017 The Great American Eclipse is now a fond memory for our Baton Rouge community. No ornery clouds or“washout”; virtually the entire three-hour duration had an unobstructed view of the Sun. Over an hour before the start of the event, we sold 196 solar viewers in thirty-five minutes. Several families and children used cereal box viewers; many, many people were here for the first time. We utilized the Coronado Solar Max II solar telescope and several nighttime telescopes, each outfitted with either a standard eyepiece or a “sun funnel”—a modified oil funnel that projects light sent through the scope tube to fabric stretched across the front of the funnel. We provided live feeds on the main floor from NASA and then, ABC News. The official count at 1089 patrons makes this the best- attended event in HRPO’s twenty years save for the historic Mars Opposition of 2003.
