FINCH,Secretary `JAMES E. ALLEN, JR.,Assistant Secretary and Commissioner of Education FOREWORD THIS SUGGESTED curriculum was prepared to aid in planning and initiating programs in the States to meet the growing need for highly qualified farm crop production technicians to fulfill present requirements, and to prepare future farmowners and operators to cope with continued technological change. The guide provides suggested course outlines with examples of texts and references, sequence of technical education procedure, laboratory layouts with equipment and cost, discussion of land requirements, library and its use, faculty, student services, and a selected list of scientific, trade, and technical societies.It is designed to assist school administrators, advisory committees, supervisors, and teachers who will be developing or evaluating programs in farm crop production technology. Although the indicated level of instruction is post high school, the sequence of course work may well start at any grade level where students have the prerequi- site background and understanding. This guide was developed in the Program Development Branch of the Division of Vocational and Technical Education, U.S. Office of Education. The basic materials were prepared by Mount San Antonio Junior College at Walnut, Calif., pursuant to a contract with the Office of Education. Many useful suggestions were received from special consultants, advisers, owners, and employers in the farm crop production industry, and administrators and teachers in schools of technology. Although all sugges- tions could not be incorporated, each was considered carefully in the light of the publication's intended use. In view of this it should not be inferred that the curriculum is completely endorsed by any one institution, agency, or person. It is a plan for a program; a plan to be modified byadminis- trators and their advisers to meet local, State, and regional needs. LEON P.

  • Homogeneous Photospheric Parameters and C Abundances in G and K Nearby Stars with and Without Planets,,

Da Silva1,A.C.Milone1, and B. E. Reddy2 1 Astrophysics Division, Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, 12227-010 São José dos Campos, Brazil e-mail: [email protected] 2 Indian Institute of Astrophysics, 560034 Bengaluru, India Received 11 October 2010 / Accepted 22 November 2010 ABSTRACT Aims. We present a determination of photospheric parameters and carbon abundances for a sample of 172 G and K dwarf, subgiant, and giant stars with and without detected planets in the solar neighbourhood. The analysis was based on high signal-to-noise ratio and high resolution spectra observed with the ELODIE spectrograph (Haute Provence Observatory, France) and for which the observational data were publicly available. We intend to contribute precise and homogeneous C abundances in studies that compare the behaviour of light elements in stars with and without planets. This will bring new arguments to the discussion of possible anomalies that have been suggested and will contribute to a better understanding of different planetary formation process. Methods. The photospheric parameters were computed through the excitation potential, equivalent widths, and ionisation equilibrium of iron lines selected in the spectra. Carbon abundances were derived from spectral synthesis applied to prominent molecular head bands of C2 Swan (λ5128 and λ5165) and to a C atomic line (λ5380.3). Careful attention was drawn to carry out this homogeneous procedure and to compute the internal uncertainties.

We present fundamental stellar parameters, chemical abundances, and rotational velocities for a sample of 86 evolved stars with planets (56 giants; 30 subgiants), and for a control sample of 137 stars (101 giants; 36 subgiants) without planets. The analysis was based on both high signal-to-noise and resolution echelle spectra. The main goals of this work are i) to investigate chemical differences between evolved stars that host planets and those of the control sample without planets; ii) to explore potential differences between the properties of the planets around giants and subgiants; and iii) to search for possible correlations between these properties and the chemical abundances of their host stars. Implications for the scenarios of planet formation and evolution are also discussed. Methods. The fundamental stellar parameters (Teff,logg,[Fe/H], ξt) were computed homogeneously using the FUNDPAR code.

We present a determination of photospheric parameters and carbon abundances for a sample of 172 G and K dwarf, subgiant, and giant stars with and without detected planets in the solar neighbourhood. The analysis was based on high signal-to-noise ratio and high resolution spectra observed with the ELODIE spectrograph (Haute Provence Observatory, France) and for which the observational data was publicly available. We intend to contribute precise and homogeneous C abundances in studies that compare the behaviour of light elements in stars, hosting planets or not. This will bring new arguments to the discussion of possible anomalies that have been suggested and will contribute to a better understanding of different planetary formation process. Methods. The photospheric parameters were computed through the excitation potential, equivalent widths, and ionisation equilibrium of iron lines selected in the spectra. Carbon abundances were derived from spectral synthesis applied to prominent molecular head bands of C2 Swan (λ5128 and λ5165) and to a C atomic line (λ5380.3). Careful attention was drawn to carry out such a homogeneous procedure and to compute the internal uncertainties. Results. The distribution of [C/Fe] as a function of [Fe/H] shows no difference in the behaviour of planet-host stars in comparison with stars for which no planet was detected, for both dwarf and giant subsamples.

The aim of this paper is to provide the fundamental parameters and abundances for a large sample of local clump giants with a high accuracy. This study is a part of a big project, in which the vertical distribution of the stars in the Galactic disc and the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Galaxy are being investigated. Methods. The selection of clump stars for the sample group was made applying a colour-absolute magnitude window to nearby Hipparcos stars. The effective temperatures were estimated by the line depth ratio method. The surface gravities (log g) were deter- mined by two methods (the first one was the method based on the ionization balance of iron and the second one was the method based on fitting of the wings of the Ca i 6162.17 Å line).

Psi Crateris (Psi Crateris) is a star in the constellation of Crater. The star can be located at the coordinates of Declination (-18d 29` 59.3) and Right Ascension(11h 12m 30.38) Based on the spectral type (A0V), the star is a blue main sequence dwarf star. Psi Crateris is a blue main sequence dwarf star that can be located in the constellation of Crater. The description is based on the spectral class. Psi Crateris is not part of the constellation but is within the borders of the constellation. Kappa Crateris. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better. Kappa Crateris (κ Crt) is the Bayer designation for a star in the southern constellation of Crater. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.94,[2] which, according to the Bortle scale, can be seen with the naked eye under dark suburban skies. The distance to this star, as determined from an annual parallax shift of 14.27 mas,[1] is around 229 light years.
