Infrared Spectroscopy Of Symbiotic Stars. I. Orbits For Well-Known S-Type Systems, Francis C. Fekel, Richard Joyce, Kenneth H. Hinkle, Michael F. Skrutskie

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

First results are reported for a program of monitoring symbiotic-star velocities in the 1.6 μm region with infrared-array technology. Infrared radial velocities have been used to determine single-lined spectroscopic orbits for six well-known symbiotic stars, EG And, T CrB, CI Cyg, BX Mon, RS Oph, and AG Peg. The new orbits are in general agreement with previous orbits derived from optical velocities. From the combined optical and infrared velocities improved orbital elements for the six systems have been determined. Each of the orbital periods has been determined solely from the radial-velocity data. With the addition of our new velocities, the …

Long‐Term Vri Photometry Of Ρ Cassiopeiae, John R. Percy, David L. Kolin, Gregory W. Henry

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

We report over 5700 days (15 years) of VRI photometry of the yellow hypergiant variable star ρ Cassiopeiae. The V−I color curve is generally in phase with the V light curve on timescales of a few hundred days, but there is a 4000 day variation in V−I which is absent from the light curve. The approximate ratio of Δ(V−I)/ΔV is 0.46. The most conspicuous period in the light curve, in the autocorrelation diagram, and in the power spectrum is about 820 days. Less significant periods of 380, 510, and 645 days also appear in the power spectrum, …

Photometric And Ca Ii H And K Spectroscopic Variations In Nearby Sun-Like Stars With Planets. Iii., Gregory W. Henry, Sallie L. Baliunas, Robert A. Donahue, Francis C. Fekel, Willie Soon

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

We present the results of an analysis of time-series photometry, Ca II H and K spectrophotometry, and high-dispersion visible spectra of nine nearby Sun-like stars recently identified as having planets. For the six stars whose presumed planets have orbital periods of less than 4 months (τ Boo, 51 Peg, υ And, ρ¹ Cnc, ρ CrB, and 70 Vir), sine-curve fits to the photometric data show no variations with semiamplitude greater than 1 or 2 parts in 10⁴. Photometric variations in 47 UMa are similarly small, although our photometric data of this star are slightly affected by variability …

Testing Of The New Usgs K Index Algorithm At Bear Lake, Ariel O. Acebal

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The K index was developed by Bartels in 1939 as an estimate of the level of geomagnetic activity caused by the Sun. This index was computed manually every three hours at geomagnetic observatories using the magnetic traces of the surface planetary magnetic field. In 1991, the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy approved four additional methods to compute the K index; all of them were computer algorithms. One of the approved methods, the Wilson code, recently underwent some modifications. The new algorithm is now part of a Windows-based computer program being developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). After …

Spectroscopy And Orbital Periods Of The Old Novae V533 Herculis, V446 Herculis And X Serpentis, J. R. Thorstensen, C. J. Taylor

Dartmouth Scholarship

We report spectroscopic orbital periods of 0.147 d (= 3.53 h) for V533 Her, 0.207 d (= 4.97 h) for V446 Her and 1.478 d for X Ser. V533 Her (Nova Herculis 1963) shows absorption features in its He i and Balmer lines which appear only in a limited range of orbital phase, suggesting that it is a low-inclination SW Sextantis star. V446 Her is unusual in that it has started normal dwarf nova eruptions after a nova outburst, but we find nothing else unusual about it — in particular, a distance estimate based on its dwarf nova outbursts agrees …

A Newly-Discovered Cataclysmic Binary Near The Rosat Galactic Plane Source Rx J1910.8+2856, J R. Thorstensen, F Haberl

Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy Of Coma Cluster Early–Type Galaxies, D. Mehlert, R. P. Saglia, R. Bender, G. Wegner

Dartmouth Scholarship

We present long slit spectra for a magnitude limited sample of 35 E and S0 galaxies of the Coma cluster. The high quality of the data allowed us to derive spatially resolved spectra for a substantial sample of Coma galaxies for the first time. From these spectra we obtained rota- tion curves, the velocity dispersion profiles and the H3 and H4 coefficients of the Hermite decomposition of the line of sight velocity distribution. Moreover, we derive the radial line index profiles of Mg, Fe and Hβ line indices out to R ≈ 1re − 3re with high signal-to-noise ratio. We …

Electronic Structure Of Cu1-Xnixrh2s4 And Curh2se4: Band-Structure Calculations, X-Ray Photoemission, And Fluorescence Measurements, Gus L. W. Hart, W. E. Pickett, E. Z. Kurmaev, M. Neumann, D. Hartmann, A. Moewes, D. L. Ederer, R. Endoh, K. Taniguchi, S. Nagata

Faculty Publications

The electronic structure of spinel-type Cu1-xNixRh2S4 (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0) and CuRh2Se4 compounds has been studied by means of x-ray photoelectron (SPS) and fluorescent spectroscopy. Cu L3, Ni L3, S L2,3, and Se M2,3 x-ray emission spectra (XES) were measured near thresholds at Beamline 8.0 of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory's Advanced Light Source. XES measurements of the constituent atoms of these compounds, reduced to the same binding energy scale, are found to be in excellent agreement with XPS valence bands. The calculated XES spectra which include dipole matrix elements show that the partial density of states reproduce experimental spectra …

P-Selectin Or Intercellular Adhesion Molecule (Icam)-1 Deficiency Substantially Protects Against Atherosclerosis In Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice, Robert G. Collins, Rizwan Velji, Natalia V. Guevara, M. John Hicks, Lawrence Chan, Arthur L. Beaudet

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

The expression of leukocyte and endothelial cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) is essential for the emigration of leukocytes during an inflammatory response. The importance of the inflammatory response in the development of atherosclerosis is indicated by the increased expression of adhesion molecules, proinflammatory cytokines, and growth factors in lesions and lesion-prone areas and by protection in mice deficient in various aspects of the inflammatory response. We have quantitated the effect of deficiency for intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, P-selectin, or E-selectin on atherosclerotic lesion formation at 20 wk of age in apolipoprotein (apo) E(- /-) (deficient) mice fed a normal chow diet. …

The Optical Depth To Reionization As A Probe Of Cosmological And Astrophysical Parameters, Aparna Venkatesan

Physics and Astronomy

Current data of high-redshift absorption-line systems imply that hydrogen reionization occurred before redshifts of about 5. Previous works on reionization by the first stars or quasars have shown that such scenarios are described by a large number of cosmological and astrophysical parameters. Here we adopt a semianalytic model of stellar reionization in order to quantify how the optical depth to reionization depends on such parameters, and combine this with constraints from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We find this approach to be particularly useful in alleviating the well-known degeneracy in CMB parameter extraction between the optical depth to reionization and …

The Universe On A Desktop: Observational Astronomy Simulations In The Instructional Laboratory, Laurence A. Marschall

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Though the value of hands-on learning has long been recognised by educators, it is difficult to design laboratories in astronomy classes that present realistic astrophysical techniques to undergraduate students. Unlike most other sciences, astronomy is largely observational, not experimental, and making useful observations involves expensive equipment over time scales inconvenient for pedagogy. In recent years, however, astronomy has gone almost completely digital, and the advent of large on-line databases and fast personal computers has made it possible to realistically simulate the experience of research astrophysics in the laboratory. Since 1992, Project CLEA (Contemporary Laboratory Experiences in Astronomy) has been developing …

Reconciliation Of The Substorm Onset Determined On The Ground And At The Polar Spacecraft, P K. Toivanen, D N. Baker, W K. Peterson, H J. Singer, Niescja E. Turner, X Li, K Kauristie, M Syrjasuo, A Keiling, C A. Kletzing

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Research

An isolated substorm on Oct. 17, 1997 during a close conjunction of the Polar spacecraft and the ground-based MIRACLE network is studied in detail. We identify signatures of substorm onset in the plasma sheet midway between the ionosphere and the equatorial plasma sheet, determine their timing relative to the ground signatures, and discuss their counterparts on the ground and in the equatorial plasma sheet. The substorm onset is determined as the negative bay onset at 2040:42(≠ 5 sec) UT coinciding with the onset of auroral precipitation, energization of plasma sheet electrons at Polar, and strong magnetic field variations perpendicular to …

Entry Of Plasma Sheet Particles Into The Inner Magnetosphere Observed By Polar/Cammice, N Yu Ganushkina, T I. Pulkkinen, V A. Sergeev, M V. Kubyshkina, D N. Baker, Niescja E. Turner, M Grande, B Kellett, J F. Fennell, J L. Roeder, J A. Sauvaud, T A. Fritz

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Research

Statistical results are presented from Polar/CAMMICE measurements of events during which the plasma sheet ions have penetrated deeply into the inner magnetosphere. Owing to their characteristic structure in energy-time spectrograms, these events are called "intense nose events." Almost 400 observations of such structures were made during 1997. Intense nose events are shown to be more frequent in the dusk than in the dawn sector. They typically penetrate well inside L = 4, the deepest penetration having occurred around midnight and noon. The intense nose events are associated with magnetic (substorm) activity. However, even moderate activity (AE = 150-250 nT) resulted …

Planetary Companions To The Metal-Rich Stars Bd -10°3166 And Hd 52265, R. Paul Butler, Steve Vogt, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Debra A. Fischer, Gregory W. Henry, Kevin Apps

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

Precise Doppler measurements from the Keck/HIRES spectrometer reveal periodic Keplerian velocity variations in the stars BD -10°3166 and HD 52265. BD -10°3166 (K0 V) has a period of 3.487 days and a semiamplitude of 61 m s^-1. An orbital fit yields a companion mass M sin i = 0.48 M_JUP, a semimajor axis of a = 0.046 AU, and an eccentricity of e = 0.05 (consistent with zero). HD 52265 (G0 V) has a period of 119.0 days, a semiamplitude of 45 m s^-1, an eccentricity of 0.29, a semimajor axis of a = …

Using Binary Star Observations To Bound The Mass Of The Graviton, Shane L. Larson, William A. Hiscock

All Physics Faculty Publications

Interacting white dwarf binary star systems, including helium cataclysmic variable (HeCV) systems, are expected to be strong sources of gravitational radiation, and should be detectable by proposed space-based laser interferometer gravitational wave observatories such as LISA. Several HeCV star systems are presently known and can be studied optically, which will allow electromagnetic and gravitational wave observations to be correlated. Comparisons of the phases of a gravitational wave signal and the orbital light curve from an interacting binary white dwarf star system can be used to bound the mass of the graviton. Observations of typical HeCV systems by LISA could potentially …

Mev Measurements Of Γ-Ray Bursts By Cgro-Comptel: Revised Catalog, A Connors, C A. Young, K Bennett, W Collmar, W Hermsen, R M. Kippen, L Kuiper, Mark L. Mcconnell, R S. Miller, James M. Ryan, V Schonfelder, O R. Williams, C Winkler

Space Science Center

The imaging COMPTEL telescope has accumulated 0.1–30 MeV spectra, time-histories, and positions of more than forty γ-ray bursts within its ∼3 sr field of view in the eight years since its launch. CGRO-COMPTEL measures in both imaging “telescope” and single detector “burst spectroscopy” mode. In an ongoing collaboration with BACODINE/GCN, bursts are imaged automatically, with localizations relayed to a global network of multiwavelength observers in near real time (∼10 minutes). We have updated our burst search procedure in two ways: 1) using more sensitive search algorithms; and 2) using data from more detectors. The first are double change-point algorithms. With …

Comptel Upper Limits For The 56co Γ-Rays From Sn1998bu, R Georgii, S Pluschke, R Diehl, W Collmar, G G. Lichti, V Schonfelder, H Bloemen, J Knodlseder, Mark L. Mcconnell, James M. Ryan, K Bennett

Space Science Center

The type Ia supernova SN 1998bu in M96 was observed by COMPTEL for a total of 88 days starting 17 days after the detection of the SN. A special mode improving the low-energy sensitivity was invoked. We obtained images in the 847 keV and 1238 keV lines of 56Co using an improved point-spread function for the low-energies. We do not detect SN1998bu. Sensitive upper limits at both energies constrain the standard supernova model for this event.

TIGRE is an advanced telescope for gamma-ray astronomy with a few arcmin resolution. From 0.3 to 10 MeV it is a Compton telescope. Above 1 MeV, its multi-layers of double sided silicon strip detectors allow for Compton recoil electron tracking and the unique determination for incident photon direction. From 10 to 100 MeV the tracking feature is utilized for gamma-ray pair event reconstruction. Here we present TIGRE energy resolutions, background simulations and the development of the electronics readout system.

The Comptel Instrumental-Line Background, G Weidenspointer, M Varendorff, U Oberlack, S Pluschke, D Morris, R Diehl, S C. Kappadath, Mark L. Mcconnell, James M. Ryan, V Schonfelder

Space Science Center

The instrumental-line background of the Compton telescope COMPTEL onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory is due to the activation and/or decay of a number of different isotopes. The major components of the COMPTEL instrumental-line background can be attributed to eight individual isotopes, namely 2D, 22Na, 24Na, 28Al, 40K, 52Mn, 57Ni, and 208Tl. In addition, evidence for the presence of 27Mg has been obtained in the search for gamma-ray lines from supernovae. The identification of the instrumental lines with specific isotopes is based on the line energies as well as on the variation of the activity with time, cosmic-ray intensity and deposited …

FiberGLAST is one of several instrument concepts being developed for possible inclusion as the primary Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) instrument. The predicted FiberGLAST effective area is more than 12,000 cm² for energies between 30 MeV and 300 GeV, with a field of view that is essentially flat from 0°–80°. The detector will achieve a sensitivity more than 10 times that of EGRET. We present results of simulations that illustrate the sensitivity of FiberGLAST for the detection of gamma-ray bursts.

MARGIE (Minute-of-Arc Resolution Gamma-ray Imaging Experiment) is a large area(∼104 cm2), wide field-of-view (∼1 sr), hard X-ray/gamma-ray (∼20–600 keV) coded-mask imaging telescope capable of performing a sensitive survey of both steady and transient cosmic sources. MARGIE has been selected for a NASA mission-concept study for an Ultra Long Duration (100 day) Balloon flight. We describe our program to develop the instrument based on new detector technology of either cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) semiconductors or pixellated cesium iodide (CsI) scintillators viewed by fast-timing bi-directional charge-coupled devices (CCDs). The primary scientific objectives are to image faint Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) in near-real-time at …

Comptel Time-Averaged All-Sky Point Source Analysis, W Collmar, V Schonfelder, A W. Strong, H Bloemen, W Hermsen, Mark L. Mcconnell, James M. Ryan, K Bennett

Space Science Center

We use all COMPTEL data from the beginning of the CGRO mission (April ’91) up to the end of CGRO Cycle 6 (November ’97) to carry out all-sky point source analyses in the four standard COMPTEL energy bands for different time periods. We apply our standard maximum-likelihood method to generate all-sky significance and flux maps for point sources by subtracting off the diffuse emission components via model fitting. In addition, fluxes of known sources have been determined for individual CGRO Phases/Cycles to generate lightcurves with a time resolution of the order of one year. The goal of the analysis is …

The Development Of A Position-Sensitive Czt Detector With Orthogonal Co-Planar Anode Strips, K Larson, L A. Hamel, V T. Jordanov, John R. Macri, Mark L. Mcconnell, James M. Ryan, O Tousignant, A Vincent

Space Science Center

We report on the simulation, construction, and performance of prototype CdZnTe imaging detectors with orthogonal coplanar anode strips. These detectors employ a novel electrode geometry with non-collecting anode strips in one dimension and collecting anode pixels, interconnected in rows, in the orthogonal direction. These detectors retain the spectroscopic and detection efficiency advantages of single carrier (electron) sensing devices as well as the principal advantage of conventional strip detectors with orthogonal anode and cathode strips, i.e. an N×N array of imaging pixels are with only 2N electronic channels. Charge signals induced on the various electrodes of a prototype detector with 8×8 …

Energetic Proton Spectra In The 11 June 1991 Solar Flare, C A. Young, M B. Arndt, A Connors, Mark L. Mcconnell, G Rank, James M. Ryan, R Suleiman, V Schonfelder

Space Science Center

We have studied a subset of the 11 June 1991 solar flare γ-ray data that we believe arise from soft proton or ion spectra. Using data from the COMPTEL instrument on the Compton Observatory we discuss the gamma-ray intensities at 2.223 MeV, 4–7 MeV, and 8–30 MeV in terms of the parent proton spectrum responsible for the emission.

Gamma Ray Measurements Of The 1991 November 15 Solar Flare, M B. Arndt, K Bennett, A Connors, Mark L. Mcconnell, G Rank, James M. Ryan, V Schonfelder, R Suleiman, C A. Young

Space Science Center

The 1991 November 15 X1.5 flare was a well observed solar event. Comprehensive data from ground-based observatories and spacecraft provide the basis for a contextual interpretation of gamma-ray spectra from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). In particular, spectral, spatial, and temporal data at several energies are necessary to understand the particle dynamics and the acceleration mechanism(s) within this flare. X-ray images, radio, Ca XIX data and magnetograms provide morphological information on the acceleration region [4,5], while gamma-ray spectral data provide information on the parent ion spectrum. Furthermore, time profiles in hard X-rays and gamma-rays provide valuable information on temporal …

Milagrito, a detector sensitive to γ-rays at TeV energies, monitored the northern sky during the period February 1997 through May 1998. With a large field of view and high duty cycle, this instrument was used to perform a search for TeV counterparts to γ-ray bursts. Within the Milagrito field of view 54 γ-ray bursts at keV energies were observed by the Burst And Transient Satellite Experiment (BATSE) aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. This paper describes the results of a preliminary analysis to search for TeV emission correlated with BATSE detected bursts. Milagrito detected an excess of events coincident both spatially …

Spectra Of A Recent Bright Burst Measured By Cgro-Comptel: Grb 990123, C A. Young, A Connors, K Bennett, W Collmar, W Hermsen, R M. Kippen, E Kolaczyk, L Kuiper, Mark L. Mcconnell, R S. Miller, James M. Ryan, V Schonfelder, O R. Williams, C Winkler

Space Science Center

CGRO-COMPTEL measures gamma-ray burst positions, time-histories and spectra in the 0.1–30 MeV energy range, in both imaging “telescope” and single detector “burst spectroscopy” mode. GRB 990123, one of the most recent bright bursts seen by COMPTEL, was caught in the optical while the gamma-ray emission was ongoing. The burst spectral shape can be characterized by a peak in ν−Fν just below 1 MeV and a power-law tail above(photon index∼−2.4,) and flattening below. There is also spectral evolution by downward movement of the peak and/or softening of the power laws. We present light-curves, time resolved spectra and an image map for …

Space Science Center

In the course of the mission we have gradually developed an analysis method that separates in an iterative manner the celestial emission and the (a priori unknown) instrumental background. It has become our standard analysis tool for point sources. We illustrate here that this method is widely applicable now. It provides mutually consistent sets of model-fitting parameters (spectra) and sky maps, both for continuum and line studies. Because of the wide applicability, it has been possible to make various cross-checks while building up confidence in this procedure.

Space Science Center

A new type of very high energy (> a few 100 GeV) gamma-ray observatory, Milagro, has been built with a large field of view of >1 steradian and nearly 24 hours/day operation. Milagrito, a prototype for Milagro, was operated from February 1997 to May 1998. During the summer of 1998, Milagrito was dismantled and Milagro was built. Both detectors use a 80 m×60 m×8 mpond of water in which a 3 m×3 m grid of photomultiplier tubes detects the Cherenkov light produced in the water by the relativistic particles in extensive air showers. Milagrito was smaller and had only one …
