  • The "K-Correction" for Irradiated Emission Lines in LMXBs: Evidence for a Massive Neutron Star in X1822-371 (V691 CrA)
    We study the K-correction for the case of emission lines formed in the X-ray-illuminated atmosphere of a Roche lobe-filling star. We compute the K-correction as a function of the mass ratio q and the disk flaring angle α using a compact binary code in which the companion's Roche lobe is divided into 105 resolution elements. We also study the effect

  • The 13th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-IV Survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory
    The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) began observations in 2014 July. It pursues three core programs: the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2), Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA), and the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). As well as its core program, eBOSS

  • The 1991 outburst of Comet P/Metcalf-Brewington: A study of the light curve
    The light curve of the outburst of Comet P/Metcalf-Brewington (1991 I) is investigated. The parameters of the light curve are quite uncertain as it may be fitted both in terms of variation with heliocentric distance and exponential decay with time however, after maximum a empirical fit of m1 = 4.1 + 5 log Delta + 14.8 log r gives a good fit to the

  • The abundance of satellites depends strongly on the morphology of the host galaxy
    Using the spectroscopic catalogue of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10, we have explored the abundance of satellites around a sample of 254 massive (1011 M⋆ 2 × 1011 M⊙) local (z 0.025) galaxies. We have divided our sample into four morphological groups (E, S0, Sa, Sb/c). We find that the number of satellites with M⋆ ≳ 109 M⊙ and R 3

  • The Acoustic Cutoff Frequency of the Sun and the Solar Magnetic Activity Cycle
    The acoustic cutoff frequency—the highest frequency for acoustic solar eigenmodes—is an important parameter of the solar atmosphere as it determines the upper boundary of the p-mode resonant cavities. At frequencies beyond this value, acoustic disturbances are no longer trapped but are traveling waves. Interference among them gives rise to higher

  • The ACS LCID Project. IX. Imprints of the Early Universe in the Radial Variation of the Star Formation History of Dwarf Galaxies
    Based on Hubble Space Telescope observations from the Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs project, we present the star formation histories, as a function of galactocentric radius, of four isolated Local Group dwarf galaxies: two dSph galaxies, Cetus and Tucana, and two transition galaxies (dTrs), LGS-3 and Phoenix. The oldest stellar populations
