A Survey of Proper Motion Stars. XVII. A Deficiency of Binary Stars on Retrograde Galactic Orbits and the Possibility that omega Centauri is Related to the Effect
Bruce W. Carney, Luis A. Aguilar, David W. Latham +1
We find a deficiency of binary stars moving on strongly retrograde Galactic orbits. No binary deficiencies are seen for U or W velocities, however. From theoretical analyses, we ru…
Metal-poor Field Blue Stragglers: More Evidence for Mass Transfer
Bruce W. Carney, David W. Latham, John B. Laird
We report radial velocity studies of five candidate metal-poor field blue stragglers, all known to be deficient in lithium. Four of the five stars are single-lined spectroscopic bi…
Radial Age and Metal Abundance Gradients in the Stellar Content of M32
James A. Rose, Nobuo Arimoto, Nelson Caldwell +3
We present long-slit spectroscopy of the elliptical galaxy M32, obtained with the 8-m Subaru telescope at Mauna Kea, the 1.5-m Tillinghast telescope at the F. L. Whipple Observator…
Infrared Photometry of NGC 6791
Bruce W. Carney, Jae-Woo Lee, Benjamin Dodson
We present deep JHK photometry of the old and metal-rich open cluster NGC 6791. The photometry reaches below the main sequence turn-off to K = 16.5 mag. We combine our photometry w…
High-Resolution Spectroscopy of the Transiting Planet Host Star TrES-1
A. Sozzetti, D. Yong, G. Torres +6
We report on a spectroscopic determination of the stellar parameters and chemical abundances for the parent star of the transiting planet TrES-1. Based on a detailed analysis of ir…
Structural properties of discs and bulges of early-type galaxies
Roelof S. de Jong, Luc Simard, Roger L. Davies +5
We have used the EFAR sample of galaxies to study the light distributions of early-type galaxies. We decompose the 2D light distribution of the galaxies in a flattened spheroidal c…
Chemical Abundances for Seven Giant Stars in M68 (NGC 4590) : A Globular Cluster with Abnormal Silicon and Titanium Abundances
Jae-Woo Lee, Bruce W. Carney, Michael J. Habgood
We present a detailed chemical abundance study of seven giant stars in M68 including six red giants and one post-AGB star. We find significant differences in the gravities determin…
A multi-color and Fourier study of RR Lyrae variables in the globular cluster NGC 5272 (M3)
C. Cacciari, T. M. Corwin, B. W. Carney
We have performed a detailed study of the pulsational and evolutionary characteristics of 133 RR Lyrae stars in the globular cluster NGC5272 (M3) using highly accurate BVI data tak…
Gamma-Ray Burst Dust Echoes Revisited: Expectations at Early Times
Jane A. Moran, Daniel E. Reichart
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) dust echoes were first proposed as an alternative explanation for the supernova-like (SN-like) components to the afterglows of GRB 980326 and GRB 970228. Howe…
Infrared Echelle Spectroscopy of Palomar6 and M71
Jae-Woo Lee, Bruce W. Carney, Suchitra C. Balachandran
We present high-resolution infrared echelle spectroscopy for the globular clusters Palomar 6 and M71. Our mean heliocentric radial velocity of Palomar 6 is +180.6 +/- 3.2 km sec/s…
Probing a GRB progenitor at a redshift of z=2: a comprehensive observing campaign of the afterglow of GRB 030226
S. Klose, J. Greiner, A. Rau +38
We report results from a comprehensive follow-up observing campaign of the afterglow of GRB 030226, including VLT spectroscopy, VLT polarimetry, and Chandra X-ray observations. In…
Spatially Resolved Ultraviolet Spectra of the High-Velocity Nuclear Outflow of NGC 1068
Brent Groves, Gerald Cecil, Pierre Ferruit +1
We present ultraviolet emission-line maps of the narrow-line region (NLR) of NGC 1068. The maps span 115--318 nm, the biconical ionization cone, several posited jet/ISM interaction…
Evolution and Fragmentation of Wide-Angle Wind Driven Molecular Outflows
Andrew Cunningham, Adam Frank, Peggy Varnière +3
We present two dimensional cylindrically symmetric hydrodynamic simulations and synthetic emission maps of a stellar wind propagating into an infalling, rotating environment. The r…
Bigger Rip with No Dark Energy
Paul H. Frampton, Tomo Takahashi
By studying a modified Friedmann equation which arises in an extension of general relativity which accommodates a time-dependent fundamental length , we consider cosmological…
The Identification of Blue Horizontal Branch Stars in the Integrated Spectra of Globular Clusters
Ricardo P. Schiavon, James A. Rose, Stephane Courteau +1
A major uncertainty in the spectroscopic dating of extragalactic globular clusters concerns the degenerate effect that age and horizontal branch morphology have on the strength of…
The Peculiar Pulsations of PY Vul
Susan E. Thompson, J. C. Clemens, M. H. van Kerkwijk +2
The pulsating white dwarf star PY Vul (G~185-32) exhibits pulsation modes with peculiar properties that set it apart from other variable stars in the ZZ Ceti (DAV) class. These pec…
Observations of Non-radial Pulsations in Radio Pulsars
J. Christopher Clemens, R. Rosen
We introduce a model for pulsars in which non-radial oscillations of high spherical degree (l) aligned to the magnetic axis of a spinning neutron star reproduce the morphological f…
Are Domain Walls ruled out ?
Luca Conversi, Alessandro Melchiorri, Laura Mersini +1
Recent analysis of the combined data of cosmic microwave background, galaxy clustering and supernovae type Ia observations have set strong constraints on the equation of state para…
The Indo-U.S. Library of Coude Feed Stellar Spectra
Francisco Valdes, Ranjan Gupta, James A. Rose +2
We have obtained spectra for 1273 stars using the 0.9m Coudé Feed telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. This telescope feeds the coudé spectrograph of the 2.1m telescope. Th…
