Massive Binary WR112 and Properties of Wolf-Rayet Dust

S. V. Marchenko, A. F. J. Moffat, W. D. Vacca +2

Some hot, massive, population-I Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars of the carbon subclass are known to be prolific dust-producers. How dust can form in such a hostile environment remains a myst…

Models of Metal Poor Stars with Gravitational Settling and Radiative Accelerations: I. Evolution and Abundance Anomalies

O. Richard, G. Michaud, J. Richer +3

Evolutionary models have been calculated for Pop II stars of 0.5 to 1.0 from the pre-main-sequence to the lower part of the giant branch. Rosseland opacities and radiative…

Spectroscopic Analysis of the DAB White Dwarf PG 1115+166: An Unresolved DA + DB Degenerate Binary

P. Bergeron, James Liebert

A spectroscopic analysis of the DAB white dwarf PG 1115+166 is presented. The observed hydrogen and helium line profiles are shown to be incompatible with model spectra calculated…

The extent of NGC 6822 revealed by its C stars population

B. Letarte, S. Demers, P. Battinelli +1

Using the CFH12K camera, we apply the four band photometric technique to identify 904 carbon stars in an area 28' x 42' centered on NGC 6822. A few C stars, outside of this area we…

High-Energy Neutrinos from Photomeson Processes in Blazars

A. Atoyan, C. D. Dermer

An important radiation field for photomeson neutrino production in blazars is shown to be the radiation field external to the jet. Assuming that protons are accelerated with the sa…

Neutrino Emission from HBLs and LBLs

A. Muecke, R. J. Protheroe

The Synchrotron Proton Blazar model is a promising model to explain high energy emission from gamma-ray loud BL Lac objects like Mkn 421. In contrast to leptonic models, the hadron…

The Halo White Dwarf WD 0346+246 Revisited

P. Bergeron

The extreme helium-rich atmospheric composition determined for the halo white dwarf WD 0346+246 is reexamined. This solution is shown to be improbable from an astrophysical point o…
