Infrared [Fe II] emission from P Cygni's nebula: Atomic data, mass, kinematics, and the 1600 A.D. outburst

Nathan Smith, Patrick Hartigan

We present moderate and high-dispersion 1-2.5 micron spectra of the 10 arcsec nebula around P Cygni, dominated by bright emission lines of [Fe II]. Observed [Fe II] line ratios dis…

2-D and 3-D Radiation Transfer Models of High-Mass Star Formation

Barbara A. Whitney, Thomas P. Robitaille, Remy Indebetouw +3

2-D and 3-D radiation transfer models of forming stars generally produce bluer 1-10 micron colors than 1-D models of the same evolutionary state and envelope mass. Therefore, 1-D m…

Diffusive Acceleration of Ions at Interplanetary Shocks

Matthew G. Baring, Errol J. Summerlin

Heliospheric shocks are excellent systems for testing theories of particle acceleration in their environs. These generally fall into two classes: (1) interplanetary shocks that are…

Convective Dynamos and the Minimum X-ray Flux in Main Sequence Stars

D. J. Bercik, G. H. FIsher, C. M. Johns-Krull +1

The objective of this paper is to investigate whether a convective dynamo can account quantitatively for the observed lower limit of X-ray surface flux in solar-type main sequence…

Modeling Accelerated Pick-up Ion Distributions at an Interplanetary Shock

Errol J. Summerlin, Matthew G. Baring

The acceleration of interstellar pick-up ions as well as solar wind species has been observed at a multitude of interplanetary (IP) shocks by different spacecraft. The efficiency o…

Spin-Dependent Cyclotron Decay Rates in Strong Magnetic Fields

Matthew G. Baring, Peter L. Gonthier, Alice K. Harding

Cyclotron decay and absorption rates have been well studied in the literature, focusing primarily on spectral, angular and polarization dependence. Astrophysical applications usual…

The loopy UV line profiles of RU Lupi: accretion, outflows, and fluorescence

G. J. Herczeg, F. M. Walter, J. L. Linsky +6

We present far-ultraviolet spectra of the classical T Tauri star RU Lupi covering the 912-1710 A spectral range, as observed by the HST/STIS and FUSE satellites. We use these spect…

Color--Magnitude Diagrams and Luminosity Functions down to the Hydrogen Burning Limit. III. A Preliminary HST Study of NGC6791

I. R. King, L. R. Bedin, G. Piotto +3

Using HST ACS/WFC images, we derive the color--magnitude diagram of the old, metal-rich open cluster NGC 6791 to nearly 29th magnitude in V, which is the neighborhood of the hydrog…

Star-Cluster Astrometry with Ground-Based Wide Field Imagers

L. R. Bedin, J. Anderson, G. Piotto +2

We show the astrometric potential of the Wide Field Imager at the focus of the MPI-ESO 2.2m Telescope. Currently, we are able to measure the position of a well-exposed star with a…
