Radiative pumping of 1612 MHz OH masers: OH/IR sources with IRAS LRS spectra and 34.6 micrometer absorption feature

R. Szczerba, J. H. He, P. S. Chen

The population inversion which leads to the 1612 MHz OH maser emission has long been thought to be radiatively pumped. Since OH rotational lines involved in this pumping scheme lie…

The Supermassive Black Hole in the Gamma-ray Loud Blazar PKS 1510-089

B. Z. Dai, G. Z. Xie, Z. J. Jiang +1

We present the optical light curve for the gamma-ray blazar PKS 1510-089 with a significant variability of 2.0 mag within about 41 minutes in the R band which is the most violently…

The Origin of Subdwarf B Star (I): the Formation Channels

Zhanwen Han, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Pierre L. F. Maxted +2

Subdwarf B (sdB) stars (and related sdO/sdOB stars) are believed to be helium core-burning objects with very thin hydrogen-rich envelopes. In recent years it has become increasingl…

Two-temperature coronal flow above a thin disk

B. F. Liu, S. Mineshige, F. Meyer +2

We extended the disk corona model (Meyer & Meyer-Hofmeister 1994; Meyer, Liu, & Meyer-Hofmeister 2000a) to the inner region of galactic nuclei by including different temperatures i…

Twin jets as a potential distance detector

Yi-Ping Qin, Guang-Zhong Xie

A preview study of using observational data of proper motions and Doppler shifted velocities of twin-jets to determine the distance of sources inside and outside our galaxy is made…
