Stellar Dynamics and Stellar Phenomena Near A Massive Black Hole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Most galactic nuclei harbor a massive black hole (MBH), whose birth and evolution are closely linked to those of its host galaxy. The unique conditions near the MBH: high velocity and density in the steep potential of a massive singular relativistic object, lead to unusual modes of stellar birth, evolution, dynamics and death.

Effective temperatures of red giants in the APOKASC catalogue and the mixing length calibration in stellar models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Red giants in the updated APOGEE-Kepler catalogue, with estimates of mass, chemical composition, surface gravity and effective temperature, have recently challenged stellar models computed under the standard assumption of solar calibrated mixing length ...

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Gravitational waves from black-hole (BH) merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected based on most stellar evolution models -- and also higher than known ...

The Slow‐Rotating Nucleus of Comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy)

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The close approach of comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) allowed us to conduct an in‐depth study of the morphology of the inner coma. From the measurement of the dust emission structures expanding near the cometary nucleus in November–December 2013, we derived a slow rotation period of 47.8±1.2$$ 47.8\pm 1.2 $$ h.

Isolated Neutron Stars as Science Validation for XMM2ATHENA: Ensuring Robust Data for Future X‐Ray Astronomy

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The discovery of radio‐quiet, x‐ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) in the ROSAT All‐Sky Survey revealed a previously overlooked component of the neutron star population. Advancements in x‐ray instrumentation and the availability of deep, wide‐area optical surveys now enable us to explore XINSs at fainter x‐ray fluxes and ...

A general method of estimating stellar astrophysical parameters from photometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Applying photometric catalogs to the study of the population of the Galaxy is obscured by the impossibility to map directly photometric colors into astrophysical parameters. Most of all-sky catalogs like ASCC or 2MASS are based upon broad-band photometric systems, and the use of broad photometric bands complicates the determination of the astrophysical

Asteroseismology of Solar-Type and Red-Giant Stars

open access: yes, 2013
We are entering a golden era for stellar physics driven by satellite and telescope observations of unprecedented quality and scope. New insights on stellar evolution and stellar interiors physics are being made possible by asteroseismology, the study of ...
