Rapid Star Formation and Global Gravitational Collapse

Lee Hartmann, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Fabian Heitsch

Most young stars in nearby molecular clouds have estimated ages of 1-2 Myr, suggesting that star formation is rapid. However, small numbers of stars in these regions with inferred…

Eclipses During the 2010 Eruption of the Recurrent Nova U Scorpii

Bradley E. Schaefer, Ashley Pagnotta, Aaron LaCluyze +34

The eruption of the recurrent nova U Scorpii on 28 January 2010 is now the all-time best observed nova event. We report 36,776 magnitudes throughout its 67 day eruption, for an ave…

Complex Structure in Class 0 Protostellar Envelopes II: Kinematic Structure from Single-Dish and Interferometric Molecular Line Mapping

John J. Tobin, Lee Hartmann, Hsin-Fang Chiang +6

We present a study of dense molecular gas kinematics in seventeen nearby protostellar systems using single-dish and interferometric molecular line observations. The non-axisymmetri…

The Coalsack near and far

H. Beuther, J. Kainulainen, Th. Henning +2

Context: The large Coalsack dark cloud is one of the rare molecular clouds without clear signs of star formation. Aims: We investigate the dynamical properties of the gas within th…

Nuclear astrophysics: the unfinished quest for the origin of the elements

Jordi Jose, Christian Iliadis

Half a century has passed since the foundation of nuclear astrophysics. Since then, this discipline has reached its maturity. Today, nuclear astrophysics constitutes a multidiscipl…

Radial Velocity Confirmation of a Binary Detected from Pulse Timings

Brad N. Barlow, Bart H. Dunlap, J. Christopher Clemens

A periodic variation in the pulse timings of the pulsating hot subdwarf B star CS 1246 was recently discovered via the O-C diagram and suggests the presence of a binary companion w…

The MUCHFUSS project - Searching for hot subdwarf binaries with massive unseen companions: Survey, target selection and atmospheric parameters

S. Geier, H. Hirsch, A. Tillich +9

The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims at finding sdBs with compact companions like supermassive white dwarfs (M>1.0 Msun)…

Binaries discovered by the MUCHFUSS project SDSS J08205+0008 - An eclipsing subdwarf B binary with brown dwarf companion

S. Geier, V. Schaffenroth, H. Drechsel +11

Hot subdwarf B stars (sdBs) are extreme horizontal branch stars believed to originate from close binary evolution. Indeed about half of the known sdB stars are found in close binar…

W43: the closest molecular complex of the Galactic Bar?

Q. Nguyen Luong, F. Motte, F. Schuller +9

We used a large database extracted from Galaxy-wide surveys of H {\scriptsize I}, CO 1-0, $8 \micron$ and $870 \micron$ continuum to trace diffuse atomic gas, low- to medium…

The Effects of Thermonuclear Reaction-Rate Variations on 26Al Production in Massive Stars: a Sensitivity Study

Christian Iliadis, Art Champagne, Alessandro Chieffi +1

We investigate the effects of thermonuclear reaction rate variations on 26Al production in massive stars. The dominant production sites in such events were recently investigated by…

Substellar companions and the formation of hot subdwarf stars

S. Geier, U. Heber, A. Tillich +12

We give a brief review over the observational evidence for close substellar companions to hot subdwarf stars. The formation of these core helium-burning objects requires huge mass…

Theoretical Evaluation of the Reaction Rates for 26Al(n,p)26Mg and 26Al(n,a)23Na

Babatunde Oginni, Christian Iliadis, Art Champagne

The reactions that destroy 26Al in massive stars have significance in a number of astrophysical contexts. We evaluate the reaction rates of 26Al(n,p)26Mg and 26Al(n,a)23Na using cr…

Orbital and physical parameters of eclipsing binaries from the ASAS catalogue -- III. Two new low-mass systems with rapidly evolving spots

K. G. Hełminiak, M. Konacki, K. Złoczewski +8

We present the results of our spectroscopic and photometric analysis of two newly discovered low-mass detached eclipsing binaries found in the All-Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) catal…
