AbstractWe present a characterization method based on spectral cross-correlation to obtain the physical parameters of the controversial stellar aggregate ESO442–SC04. The data used was obtained with GMOS at the Gemini South telescope, and includes spectra of 17 stars in the central region of the object and 6 standard stars. fxcor was used iteratively to obtain self-consistent radial velocities for the standard stars and average radial velocities for the science spectra. Spectral types, effective temperatures, surface gravities and metallicities were determined using fxcor to correlate cluster spectra with the ELODIE spectral library and select the best correlation matches using the Tonry & Davis ratio. Analysis of the results suggests that the stars in ESO442–SC04 are not bound and, therefore, they do not constitute a physical system.

Mirror Telescope

In 1971 Roger Griffin and Jim Gunn began monitoring the radial velocities of most of the members brighter than the main-sequence turnoff in the old open cluster M67, primarily using the 200-inch Hale Telescope. In 1982 the torch was passed to Dave Latham and Bob Mathieu, who began monitoring many of the same stars with the 1.5-meter Tillinghast Reflector and the Multiple-Mirror Telescope on Mt. Hopkins. We have successively combined these two sets of data, plus some additional CORAVEL velocities kindly provided by Michel Mayor, to obtain 20 years of time coverage (e.g. Mathieu et al. 1986). Among the stars brighter than magnitude V = 12.7 we have already published orbits for 22 spectroscopic binaries (Mathieu et al. 1990). At Mt. Hopkins an extension of this survey to many of the cluster members down to magnitude V = 15.5 has already yielded thirteen additional orbital solutions, with the promise of many more to come.

Eclipsing Binary

AbstractNew radial velocity measurements of the Algol-type eclipsing binary BD +52 °2009, based on Reticon observations, are presented. The velocity measures are based on fitting theoretical profiles, generated by a physical model of the binary, to the observed cross-correlation function (ccf). Such profiles match this function very well, much better in fact than Gaussian profiles, which are generally used. Measuring the ccf’s with Gaussian profiles yields the following results: mp sin3i = 2.55 ± 0.05m⊙, ms sin3i = 1.14 ± 0.03m⊙, (ap + as) sin i = 7.34 ± 0.05R⊙, and mp/ms = 2.23 ± 0.05. However, measuring the ccf’s with theoretical profiles yields a mass ratio of 2.33 and following results: mp sin3i = 2.84 ± 0.05m⊙, ms sin3i = 1.22 ± 0.03m⊙, (ap + as) sin i = 7.56 ± 0.05R⊙. The system has a semi-detached configuration. By combining the solution of a previously published light curve with the spectroscopic orbit, one can obtain the following physical parameters: mp = 2.99m⊙, ms3 = 1.28m⊙, < Tp >= 9600K, < Ts >= 5400K, < Rp >= 2.35R⊙, < Rs >= 2.12R⊙. The system consists of an A0 primary and a G2 secondary.

The Subject

The subject of this paper is the interpretation of extragalactic radio jets. In this paper I will focus on what we have learned about the nature of extragalactic jets on the basis of model calculations. By model I mean any set of calculations, whether analytic, semi-analytic or numerical, which, when carried through from their respective assumptions to their internally self-consistent conclusions, help place constraints on the physical parameters and processes in the jets and their associated radio lobes. In this field, a visual inspection of a modern high-resolution radio interferometric observation (see review by PERLEY in these proceedings) often leads to statements like “that looks just like such and such in Landau and Lifschitz; I betcha that’s what’s going on!” This I call a speculation, or, at best, a hypothesis. I am addressing here the step beyond hypothesis, namely modeling, which is necessary to confront not only the object in question, but more importantly, the hypothesis itself. In the end, we will remember only the hypotheses.

AbstractFor almost 400 members of M67 we have accumulated about 5,000 precise radial velocities. Already we have orbital solutions for more than 32 spectroscopic binaries in M67. Many of these orbits were derived by combining the Palomar and CfA observations, thus extending the time coverage to more than 20 years. The distribution of eccentricity versus period shows evidence for tidal circularization on the main sequence. The transition from circular orbits is fairly clean. Excluding the blue stragglers, the first eccentric orbit has a period of 11.0 days, while the last circular orbit has a period of 12.4 days. For longer periods the distribution of eccentricity is the same as for field stars. The blue straggler S1284 has an eccentric orbit despite its short period of 4.2 days.

AbstractAccurate (< 10%) distances of Galactic star clusters allow a precise estimation of the physical parameters of any physically associated Planetary Nebula (PN) and also that of its central star (CSPN) and its progenitor. The progenitor’s mass can be related to the PN’s chemical characteristics and, furthermore, provides additional data for the widely used white dwarf (WD) initial-to-final mass relation (IFMR) that is crucial for tracing the development of both carbon and nitrogen in entire galaxies. To date, there is only one PN (PHR1315- 6555) confirmed to be physically associated with a Galactic open cluster (ESO 96 -SC04) that has a turn-off mass ∼2Mʘ. Our deep HST photometry was used for the search of the CSPN of this currently unique PN. In this work, we present our results.

The Difference

AbstractIt is well known that the Baade-Wesselink method leads to different radii for Cepheids depending on which colors are used to determine the effective temperatures. We try to find the reasons for this discrepancy. We employ yet another version of this method using only maximum and minimum radii, thereby circumventing uncertainties in the phase relations between radial velocities and colors. This has essentially no influence on the derived radii. One major uncertainty is the relation between the photospheric expansion velocity and the measured radial velocity. The main reason for the discrepant results obtained by using different colors appears to be an inconsistency in the difference in the applied temperature-color calibrations. Small changes in the d(log Teff)/d(color) can cause major changes in the derived radii.
