Providing the tools and know-how to apply the principles of astronomy first-hand, these 43 laboratory exercises each contain an introduction that clearly shows budding astronomers why the particular topic of that lab is of interest and relevant to astronomy. About one-third of the exercises are devoted solely to observation, and no mathematics is required beyond simple high school algebra and trigonometry.Organizes exercises into six major topics—sky, optics and spectroscopy, celestial mechanics, solar system, stellar properties, and exploration and other topics—providing clear outlines of what is involved in the exercise, its purpose, and what procedures and apparatus are to be used. …

Chromospherically Active Stars. Xiii. Hd 30957: A Double Lined K Dwarf Binary, Francis C. Fekel, Virgiljus Dadonas, Julius Sperauskas, Todd R. Vaccaro, L. Ronald Patterson
Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications
HD 30957 is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of 44.395 days and a modest eccentricity of 0.09. The spectral types of the components are K2-3 V and K5 V. The measured v sin i for both components is less than or equal to 3 km/s and the orbital inclination is estimated to be 69 deg. The system is relatively nearby with a parallax of 0.025 sec or a distance of 40 pc. Space motions of the system indicate that it does not belong to any of the known moving groups. Absolute surface fluxes of the Ca II H …

Chromospherically Active Stars. Xi. Giants With Compact Hot Companions And The Barium Star Scenario, Francis C. Fekel, Gregory W. Henry, Michael R. Busby, Joseph J. Eitter
Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications
We have determined spectroscopic orbits for three chromsopherically active giants that have hot compact companions. They are HD 160538 (KO III + wd, P = 904 days), HD 165141 (G8 III + wd, P approximately 5200 days), and HD 185510 (KO III + sdB, P = 20.6619 days). By fitting an IUE spectrum with theoretical models, we find the white dwarf companion of HD 165141 has a temperature of about 35,000 K. Spectral types and rotational velocities have been determined for the three giants and distances have been estimated. These three systems and 39 Ceti are compared with the barium …

Extremely Active Long-Period Rs Cvn Binary Hd 12545, Bernard W. Bopp, Francis C. Fekel, Jason P. Aufdenberg, Robert C. Dempsey, Virgiljus Dadonas
Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications
The active-chromosphere giant HD 12545 is noteworthy for its remarkable 1990 photmetric amplitude of 0.6 mag in V, which implies that nearly half the visible hemisphere of the star was covered by cool spots. We report the results of a spectroscopic study of HD 12545, showing it to be an active-chromosphere binary with an orbital period of 23.97 days. We establish the spectral type as KO III, and measure v sin i = 17 +/- 2 km/s. The various indicators of activity in the optical and ultraviolet suggest that HD 12545 is one of the most active RS CVn systems …
The Spectroscopic Orbit Of Gamma Geminorum And A Search For Its Secondary, Francis C. Fekel, Jocelyn Tomkin
The Spectroscopic Orbit Of Gamma Geminorum And A Search For Its Secondary, Francis C. Fekel, Jocelyn Tomkin
Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications
New spectroscopic observations of Gamma Geminorum, a bright, 'normal' A1 IV star have resulted in an improved spectroscopic orbit. The orbital period is 12.632 +/- 0.002 yr, the eccentricity is 0.893 +/-0.002, and the orbital parallax is 0.0291 +/-0.0024 arcsec, or a distance of 34 pc. We determine a v sin i of 8 +/-1 km/s for the A star, which confirms that it is a slow rotator. Near-infrared spectroscopic observations at 8806 A, obtained through the brief nodal passage, have resulted in the probable detection of the secondary. The masses are 2.8 and 1.07 solar mass and the Delta …
The 11 Year History Of Starspots On V1149 Ori=Hd 37824, Douglas S. Hall, Francis C. Fekel, Gregory W. Henry, William S. Barksdale
The 11 Year History Of Starspots On V1149 Ori=Hd 37824, Douglas S. Hall, Francis C. Fekel, Gregory W. Henry, William S. Barksdale
Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications
All available radial-velocity measures, published and unpublished, yield an improved period and a new (assumed circular) solution. The period is 53.58 d +/- 0.02 d, and conjunction (K1 giant in front) was at 2 444 325.93 +/- 0.12 d. Eleven years of V-band photometry, published and unpublished, between 1978-1979 and 1989-1990 are analyzed. Eighteen data groups are fit with a two-spot light-curve-modeling technique. Six spots existing sometime during the 11 years are identified, and the 4-percent range of their rotation periods is used to estimate a differential rotation coefficient of k = 0.08 +/- 0.02. Observed lifetimes of those six …
Uv Observations Of The Cool Dbqa5 White Dwarf Lds 678a - Limits On The Atmospheric Composition, Pressure Shift, And Gravitational Redshift Derived From C I 2479, Terry D. Oswalt, Edward M. Sion, Gordon Hammond, Gerard Vauclair, James W. Liebert, Gary Wegner
Uv Observations Of The Cool Dbqa5 White Dwarf Lds 678a - Limits On The Atmospheric Composition, Pressure Shift, And Gravitational Redshift Derived From C I 2479, Terry D. Oswalt, Edward M. Sion, Gordon Hammond, Gerard Vauclair, James W. Liebert, Gary Wegner
Dartmouth Scholarship
A high-resolution ultraviolet spectrum of the helium-rich degenerate LDS 678A, obtained with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite, is presented. LDS 678A is the coolest metallic line degenerate (DQ or DZ) yet observed with the IUE echelle. These observations provide a detailed line profile of the strong C I 2479 absorption line and equivalent width W2479 = 2.35 + or - 0.06 A from which theoretical profile fits yield a carbon abundance of log C/He = (-6.7 + or- 0.2). The presence of carbon in a He-rich atmosphere lends credence to the notion that LDS 678A is a transitional case …

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications
The variable star HD 136901 = UV CrB is a chromospherically active K2 III single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 18.665 days. It has modest-strength Ca H and K emission and UV features, while H-alpha is a strong absorption feature containing little or no emission. The inclination of the system is 53 + or - 12 deg. The v sin i of the primary is 42 + or - 2 km/s, resulting in a minimum radius of 15.5 + or - 0.8 solar. When compared with the Roche lobe radius, this results in a mass ratio of 2.90 …

We present a catalogue of 184 Herbig Haro objects from a literature search complete to 1987.5. It is intended to update the 1974 catalogue of Herbig. The catalogue contains accurate co-ordinates, proper motions, radial velocities and spectral information for these objects. A cross-reference to the two best finding charts is included. A grouping of Herbig Haro objects into is also listed.
Observations And Analysis Of The Aquarii Jet, Menas Kafatos, Andrew G. Michalitsianos
Observations And Analysis Of The Aquarii Jet, Menas Kafatos, Andrew G. Michalitsianos
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Books and Book Chapters
Ultraviolet, optical and radio observations of the symbiotic star R Aquarii are discussed in the light of the discovery of a bright radio and optical jet from this star. The star is probably a binary with a period of 44 years. The VLA maps of the jet reveal a protruding structure extending-10 arc sec from the central radio source with a position angle virtually identical to that of the optical jet observed at Lick. We interpret the observations of R Aqr as indicating the existence of an accretion disk around an unseen companion. The hot subdwarf has effective temperature ,(65,000 …

The Fixed Stars, John F. Downey
The Fixed Stars, John F. Downey
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The object of this paper is to give, in a popular form, a brief review of what is known about the fixed stars. Although they have always been objects of interest, have guided the mariner over trackless seas, arid have inspired many sublime and noble thoughts, yet, until a comparatively recent date, only three things were known about them; viz., that they retain (approximately) their ·relative positions, that they are self luminous, and that they are very far away.
