-Slow Solutions and Be Star Disks

I. Araya, C. E. Jones, M. Curé +4

As the disk formation mechanism(s) in Be stars is(are) as yet unknown, we investigate the role of rapidly rotating radiation-driven winds in this process. We implemented the effect…

Investigating the Circumstellar Disk of the Be Shell Star 48 Librae

J. Silaj, C. E. Jones, A. C. Carciofi +6

A global disk oscillation implemented in the viscous decretion disk (VDD) model has been used to reproduce most of the observed properties of the well known Be star Tau. 48 Lib…

Line-Driven Winds Revisited in the Context of Be Stars: -slow Solutions with High Values

J. Silaj, M. Cure, C. E. Jones

The standard, or fast, solutions of m-CAK line-driven wind theory cannot account for slowly outflowing disks like the ones that surround Be stars. It has been previously shown that…

Accurate age determinations of several nearby open clusters containing magnetic Ap stars

J. Silaj, J. D. Landstreet

Aims: Our aim is to obtain ages that are as accurate as possible for the seven nearby open clusters alpha Per, Coma Ber, IC 2602, NGC 2232, NGC 2451A, NGC 2516, and NGC 6475, each…

Atmospheric velocity fields in tepid main sequence stars

J. D. Landstreet, F. Kupka, H. A. Ford +5

The line profiles of the stars with v sin i below a few km/s can reveal direct signatures of local velocity fields (e.g. convection) in stellar atmospheres. This effect is well est…

Searching for links between magnetic fields and stellar evolution III. Measurement of magnetic fields in open cluster Ap stars with ESPaDOnS

J. D. Landstreet, J. Silaj, V. Andretta +7

We are carrying out a survey of magnetic fields in Ap stars in open clusters in order to obtain the first sample of magnetic upper main sequence stars with precisely known ages. Th…
