HST Star Case Study

In Figure 2, the lower meniscus lies below the 3 mL line and 4 minor gradations that signify 0.1 values. Estimating the uncertain digit to be 0.04 mL, the reading we record for this particular buret is 3.44 mL.

5) Based on our assumption, we believe that the Mean multiple would be the best measurement for calculating Hertz Terminal Value.

The area on the H-R diagram where “normal” stars can be found is known as the _________.

Figure 1. shows the resulting images in 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2012 for the 90-degree channel. The DSO was clearly detected in its continuum emission in all channels of all the years. I obtained the position of the DSO in individual observing years based on the Br$\gamma$ traced orbit from \cite{Meyer2014a} and \cite{Valencia2015}. This source was confused with S63 between the years 2004 and 2007 and could not be determined from the background. It begins to be distinguished and resolved from stellar confusion from 2008. I used the data set shown in Table \ref{table:log} to study the flux density and polarimetry of DSO.

[27] Scientists can determine what a distant star is made of by looking at ____.

Parenago 1802, a member of the ∼1 Myr Orion Nebula Cluster, is a double-lined, detached eclipsing binary in a 4.674 d orbit, with equal-mass components (M2/M1=0.985±0.029). Here we present extensive V IC JHKS light curves spanning ∼15 yr, as well as a Keck/HIRES optical spectrum. The light curves evince a third light source that is variable with a period of 0.73 d, and is also manifested in the high-resolution spectrum, strongly indicating the presence of a third star in the system, probably a rapidly rotating classical T Tauri star. We incorporate this third light into our radial velocity and light curve modeling of the eclipsing pair, measuring accurate masses (M1=0.391±0.032, M2=0.385±0.032 M⊙), radii (R1=1.73±0.02, R2=1.62±0.02 R⊙), and temperature ratio (Teff,1/Teff,2=1.0924±0.0017). Thus the radii of the eclipsing stars differ by 6.9±0.8%, the temperatures differ by 9.2±0.2%, and consequently the luminosities differ by 62±3%, despite having masses equal to within 3%. This could be indicative of an age difference of ∼ 3 × 105 yr between the two eclipsing stars, perhaps a vestige of the binary formation history. We find that the eclipsing pair is in an orbit that has not yet fully circularized,

There was a particular error which I bumped into during my analysis. At first, I had a plan to use a star as my object. But there was a problem. When I traced the

This binary star system consists of Rigel A (a.k.a. Rigel, or Beta Orionis) and its companion, Rigel B, which is 500 times smaller and fainter than its brother, Rigel A, thus there are no signs of orbital movements. Rigel B is so “small” that it is a challenging target for a telescope. They are both very far from each other, 2500 AU (astronomical units), which is 60 times the gap that separates Pluto and Sun. Rigel B also has a very close visual colleague Rigel C, of almost identical in

Next, there are the observations of novae. Novae are stars that show a sudden increase in brightness before returning back to their original

Stars come in a variety of sizes, luminosities, surface temperatures and masses. Through these different characteristics, it is found that there is a pattern (with some special cases). This pattern was first recognized by Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung and American astronomer Henry Norris Russel during the first decade of the 20th century. They plotted various stars' luminosities on one axis and spectral types on the other. This showed the pattern. These patterns are shown on graphs and are referred to as Hertzsprung-Russel (H-R) diagrams. These types of diagrams are used today still as they are important tools in astronomical research.

Distributed over 90 sq. deg. of the sky, they lie from 4 to 23 kpc from the Sun. The most significant group of RRLS is the Virgo Stellar Stream which is composed of at least 10 RRLS and 3 BHB stars. It has a mean distance of 19.6 kpc and a mean radial velocity Vgsr = 128 km/s, as estimated from its RRLS members. With the revised velocities reported here, there is no longer an offset in velocity between the RRLS in the VSS and the prominent peak in the velocities of main-sequence turnoff stars reported by Newberg et al in the same direction and at a similar distance. The location in phase space of two other groups suggests a possible connection with the VSS, which cannot be discarded at this point, although the turnoff colors of the VSS and group H, as identified from Newberg. Two more groups are found at mean distances of 19 and 5.7 kpc, and mean radial velocities of -94 and 32 km/s. None of our groups seems to relate to streams. The excess of stars observed in Virgo appears to be composed of several halo substructures along the same line of

As the student assistant to Dr. Steven Lucas, we have studied many different factors of the two stars known as Rodia and Alderaan. Since Dr. Lucas is interested in finding more life within the universe, and finding more Earth-like planets; we have come to the conclusion that Rodia should be studied more carefully and be highly observed.

The calculated difference between BS, FS & Rise and fall must be the same and is called misclose. It represents the accuracy of the measurements. The misclose of this survey is 6 mm as shown
