Accurate stellar rotational velocities using the Fourier transform of the cross correlation maximum

C. G. Díaz, J. F. González, H. Levato +1

We propose a method for measuring the projected rotational velocity with high-precision even in spectra with blended lines. Though not automatic, our method is designed t…

Chemical spots and their dynamical evolution on HgMn stars

Heidi Korhonen, Swetlana Hubrig, Maryline Briquet +2

Our recent studies of late B-type stars with HgMn peculiarity revealed for the first time the presence of fast dynamical evolution of chemical spots on their surfaces. These observ…

Lyman-alpha wing absorption in cool white dwarf stars

R. D. Rohrmann, L. G. Althaus, S. O. Kepler

Kowalski & Saumon (2006) identified the missing absorption mechanism in the observed spectra of cool white dwarf stars as the Ly-alpha red wing formed by the collisions between ato…

FUNDPAR: A Program for deriving Fundamental Parameters from Equivalent Widths

Carlos Saffe

We implemented a fortran code that determine fundamental parameters of solar type stars from a list of Fe line equivalent widths. The solution should verify 3 conditions in the sta…

Evolution of white dwarf stars with high-metallicity progenitors: the role of 22Ne diffusion

Leandro G. Althaus, Enrique García-Berro, Isabel Renedo +3

Motivated by the strong discrepancy between the main sequence turn-off age and the white dwarf cooling age in the metal-rich open cluster NGC 6791, we compute a grid of white dwarf…

A white dwarf cooling age of 8 Gyr for NGC 6791 from physical separation processes

Enrique García-Berro, Santiago Torres, Leandro G. Althaus +6

NGC 6791 is a well studied open cluster1 that it is so close to us that can be imaged down to very faint luminosities. The main sequence turn-off age (~8 Gyr) and the age derived f…

Evidence of small-scale magnetic concentrations dragged by vortex motion of solar photospheric plasma

L. Balmaceda, S. Vargas Domínguez, J. Palacios +2

Vortex-type motions have been measured by tracking bright points in high-resolution observations of the solar photosphere. These small-scale motions are thought to be determinant i…

Dynamical evolution of titanium, strontium, and yttrium spots on the surface of the HgMn star HD 11753

M. Briquet, H. Korhonen, J. F. Gonzalez +2

Aims. We gathered about 100 high-resolution spectra of three typical HgMn (mercury-manganese) stars, HD 11753, HD 53244, and HD 221507, to search for slowly pulsating B-like pulsat…

The slow roll condition and the amplitude of the primordial spectrum of cosmic fluctuations: Contrasts and similarities of standard account and the "collapse scheme"

Gabriel Leon, Daniel Sudarsky

The inflationary paradigm enjoys a very wide acceptance in the cosmological community, due in large part to the fact that it is said to "naturally account" for a nearly scale indep…

Metallicity of high stellar mass galaxies with signs of merger events

M. S. Alonso, L. Michel-Dansac, D. G. Lambas

We focus on an analysis of galaxies of high stellar mass and low metallicity. We cross-correlated the Millenium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galax…
