Ultraviolet Observations

Observations of δ Pic, a β Lyr type of eclipsing binary and seven dwarf novae are reported. The ultraviolet light curves of δ Pic indicate the accumulation of matter at the triangular Lagrangian points L4 and L5, the presence of a hot spot and a higher temperature for the primary star. The implication is that the cooler secondary fills its Roche lobe and is transfering mass to the primary; mass loss to the circumstellar space and possibly to the system may also be appreciable. The temperatures of dwarf novae are derived by comparing their ultraviolet spectral energy distributions with those for normal stars of luminosity classes IV and V. Piecing together observations for different objects, the SSCyg systems have temperatures of 28 500 K, 10 000 K and 9500 K, respectively, when they are at minimum, immediately before outburst and at the beginning of rise to maximum. At maximum, the temperature is 22 500 K or 17 300 K depending on the interstellar reddening correction for AR And. Immediately before outburst, there is a large excess of flux in the far ultraviolet as indicated by the large value of the ratio of flux at 1550 Å to that at 1800 Å. The observations of Z Cam during standstill gives a temperature of 14 900 K. No excess of flux in the far ultraviolet was observed during the maximum of AR And and the standstill of Z Cam.

AbstractSupernovae and their expanding shock fronts are evidently the main agents of cosmic-ray acceleration. The thermal gas in the interstellar medium has been regarded as the reservoir of seed particles destined to become cosmic-ray nuclei. This assumption is, however, at variance with the source composition of galactic cosmic iays. In an alternative hypothesis, the seed particles are injected into the interstellar material as suprathermal seed ions, and it has been surmised that flare stars provide the initial boost. We find that the dMe and dKe stars are probably the principal sources of cosmic-ray seed particles. Most stars in the Galaxy are red dwarfs and many of these flares much more powerfully and frequently than solar flares. Augmenting the optical data, recent X-ray and far-ultraviolet observations now permit a better estimate of the energy budget. Altogether, dMe and dKe stars seem to be the most promising class of cosmic-ray injectors.
