HST and VLT observations of the Symbiotic Star Hen 2-147
M. Santander-Garcia, R. L. M. Corradi, P. A. Whitelock +5
We investigate the dynamics of the nebula around the symbiotic star Hen 2-147, determine its expansion parallax, and compare it with the distance obtained via the Period-Luminosity…
First science with SALT: peering at the accreting polar caps of the eclipsing polar SDSS J015543.40+002807.2
D. O'Donoghue, D. A. H. Buckley, L. A. Balona +48
We describe briefly the properties of the recently completed Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), along with its first light imager SALTICAM. Using this instrument, we present…
Near-Infrared Photometry of Carbon Stars
Patricia A. Whitelock, Michael W. Feast, Freddy Marang +1
Near-infrared, JHKL, photometry of 239 Galactic carbon-rich variable stars is presented and discussed. From these and published data the stars were classified as Mira or non-Mira v…
Properties of galactic B[e] supergiants. IV. Hen3-298 and Hen3-303
A. S. Miroshnichenko, K. S. Bjorkman, M. Grosso +3
We present the results of optical and near-IR spectroscopic and near-IR photometric observations of the emission-line stars Hen3-298 and Hen3-303. Strong emission in the H-alpha li…
V838 Mon: light echo evolution and distance estimate
Lisa A. Crause, Warrick A. Lawson, John W. Menzies +1
Following its 2002 February eruption, V838 Mon developed a light echo that continues to expand and evolve as light from the outburst scatters off progressively more distant circums…
Whole Earth Telescope observations of BPM 37093: a seismological test of crystallization theory in white dwarfs
A. Kanaan, A. Nitta, D. E. Winget +3
BPM 37093 is the only hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarf currently known which has sufficient mass (~ 1.1 M_sun) to theoretically crystallize while still inside the ZZ Ceti instabilit…
