Science Programs for a 2 m-class Telescope at Dome C, Antarctica: PILOT, the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope
M. G. Burton, J. Lawrence, M. C. B. Ashley +24
The cold, dry and stable air above the summits of the Antarctic plateau provides the best ground-based observing conditions from optical to sub-mm wavelengths to be found on the Ea…
A first-overtone RR Lyrae star with cyclic period changes
A. Derekas, L. L. Kiss, A. Udalski +2
A detailed light curve analysis is presented for a first-overtone RR Lyrae star, MACHO* J050918.712-695015.31, based on MACHO and OGLE-III observations. As a foreground object of t…
Oscillation frequencies and mode lifetimes in alpha Centauri A
Timothy R. Bedding, Hans Kjeldsen, R. Paul Butler +5
We analyse our recently-published velocity measurements of alpha Cen A (Butler et al. 2004). After adjusting the weights on a night-by-night basis in order to optimize the window f…
Altair: The Brightest Delta Scuti Star
D. L. Buzasi, H. Bruntt, T. R. Bedding +7
We present an analysis of observations of the bright star Altair (alpha Aql) obtained using the star camera on the Wide-Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) satellite. Although Altair li…
Period and chemical evolution of SC stars
Albert A. Zijlstra, T. R. Bedding, Andrew J. Markwick +8
The SC and CS stars are thermal-pulsing AGB stars with C/O ratio close to unity. Within this small group, the Mira variable BH Cru recently evolved from spectral type SC (showing Z…
Multi-wavelength Diameters of Nearby Miras and Semiregulars
M. J. Ireland, P. G. Tuthill, T. R. Bedding +2
We have used optical interferometry to obtain multi-wavelength visibility curves for eight red giants over the wavelength range 650--1000 nm. The observations consist of wavelength…
Simulating stochastically excited oscillations. The mode lifetime of xi Hya
D. Stello, H. Kjeldsen, T. R. Bedding +5
The discovery of solar-like oscillations in the giant star xy Hya (G7III) was reported by Frandsen et al. (2002). Their frequency analysis was very limited due to alias problems in…
