New Periodic Variables from the Hipparcos Epoch Photometry

C. Koen, L. Eyer

Two selection statistics are used to extract new candidate periodic variables from the epoch photometry of the Hipparcos catalogue. The primary selection criterion is a signal to n…

Asteroseismology and forced oscillations of HD 209295, the first member of two classes of pulsating star

G. Handler, L. A. Balona, R. R. Shobbrook +9

We report the discovery of both intermediate-order gravity mode and low-order pressure mode pulsation in the same star, HD 209295. It is therefore both a gamma Doradus and a delta…

The Infrared Continuum Spectrum of VY CMa

Martin Harwit, Koen Malfait, Leen Decin +3

We combine spectra of VY CMa obtained with the short- and long-wavelength spectrometers, SWS and LWS, on the Infrared Space Observatory to provide a first detailed continuum spectr…

The discovery of the "21" micron and "30" micron emission features in Planetary Nebulae with Wolf-Rayet central stars

S. Hony, L. B. F. M. Waters, A. G. G. M. Tielens

We report the discovery of the "21" micron and "30" micron features in the planetary nebulae around the hydrogen-deficient stars HD 826 and HD 158269. The carriers of these feature…

Discovery of a double ring in the core of eta Carinae

S. Hony, C. Dominik, L. B. F. M. Waters +8

We report the discovery of a double ring structure in the waist of the nebula surrounding eta Carinae. The rings are detected in the mid-IR dust continuum at wavelengths of 7.9, 11…

The complete ISO spectrum of NGC 6302

F. J. Molster, T. L. Lim, R. J. Sylvester +6

We present the combined Infrared Space Observatory Short-Wavelength Spectrometer and Long-Wavelength Spectrometer 2.4--197 micron spectrum of the Planetary Nebula NGC 6302 which co…

The CH out-of-plane bending modes of PAH molecules in astrophysical environments

S. Hony, C. Van Kerckhoven, E. Peeters +3

We present 10-15 micron spectra of a sample of H II regions, YSOs and evolved stars that show strong unidentified infrared emission features, obtained with the ISO/SWS spectrograph…

The composition of circumstellar gas and dust in 51 Oph

M. E. van den Ancker, G. Meeus, J. Cami +2

We analyze ISO archive data of the nearby bright emission-line star 51 Oph, previously classified as a proto-planetary system similar to beta Pic. The infrared spectrum reveals the…

Crystallinity versus mass-loss rate in Asymptotic Giant Branch stars

F. Kemper, L. B. F. M. Waters, A. de Koter +1

Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) observations have shown that O-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars exhibit crystalline silicate features in their spectra only if their mass-l…
