Studying the UV Mg II Resonance Lines in 20 Be Stars

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2011
Using the GR model, we analyze the UV Mg II resonance lines in the spectra of 20 Be stars of different spectral subtypes, in order to detect the presence of satellite or discrete absorption components. The values of some physical parameters – rotational,

Stark Broadening of Carbon and Oxygen Lines in Hot DQ White Dwarf Stars: Recent Results and Applications

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2011
White dwarf stars are traditionally found to have surface compositions made primarily of hydrogen or helium. However, a new family has recently been uncovered, the so-called hot DQ white dwarfs, which have surface compositions dominated by carbon and ...

FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS OF KEPLER ECLIPSING BINARIES. I. KIC 5738698 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Eclipsing binaries serve as a valuable source of stellar masses and radii that inform stellar evolutionary models and provide insight into additional astrophysical processes.

Analysis of atomic-clock data to constrain variations of fundamental constants [PDF]

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2023
We present a new framework to study the time variation of fundamental constants in a model-independent way. Model independence implies more free parameters than assumed in previous studies.

THE PAN-PACIFIC PLANET SEARCH. V. FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS FOR 164 EVOLVED STARS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present spectroscopic stellar parameters for the complete target list of 164 evolved stars from the Pan-Pacific Planet Search, a five-year radial velocity campaign using the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope.

Fundamental stellar parameters of benchmark stars from CHARA interferometry [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context. Benchmark stars are crucial as validating standards for current as well as future large stellar surveys of the Milky Way. However, the number of suitable metal-poor benchmark stars is currently limited, owing to the difficulty in determining ...

Spectral Classification of Faint Carbon Stars

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
R-N classification of 187 faint carbon stars is based on the classical criteria adjusted to the yellow-red spectral region, with two new criteria added - the ratios of the red CN bands 6206/6332 (Å) and 6478/6631 (Å).

Luminosity and Intrinsic Color Calibration of Main-Sequence Stars With 2Mass Photometry: All Sky Local Extinction

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
We present a new color index vs. absolute magnitude calibration of 2MASS JHK photometry. For the A0 to ~G5 and M segments of the main sequence information on the amount of interstellar extinction and its location in space may be obtained.

A spectroscopic investigation of the O-type star population in four Cygnus OB associations. II. Determination of the fundamental parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Aims. Having established the binary status of nineteen O-type stars located in four Cygnus OB associations, we now determine their fundamental parameters to constrain their properties and their evolutionary status.

Measuring Fundamental Galactic Parameters with Stellar Tidal Streams and SIM PlanetQuest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Extended halo tidal streams from disrupting Milky Way satellites offer new opportunities for gauging fundamental Galactic parameters without challenging observations of the Galactic center.
