Galactic vs. Extragalactic Origin of the Peculiar Transient SCP 06F6
Noam Soker, Adam Frankowski, Amit Kashi
We study four scenarios for the SCP 06F6 transient event that was announced recently. Some of these were previously briefly discussed as plausible models for SCP 06F6, in particula…
Prediction for the He I 10830A Absorption Wing in the Coming Event of Eta Carinae
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We propose an explanation to the puzzling appearance of a wide blue absorption wing in the He I 10830A P-Cygni profile of the massive binary star Eta Carinae several months before…
Entropy Limit and the Cold Feedback Mechanism in Cooling Flow Clusters
Noam Soker
I propose an explanation to the finding that star formation and visible filaments strong in Halpha emission in cooling flow clusters occur only if the minimum specific entropy and…
The Orientation of the Eta Carinae Binary System
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We examine a variety of observations that shed light on the orientation of the semi-major axis of the Eta Carinae massive binary system. Under several assumptions we study the foll…
The X-Ray Spectrum of a Planetary Nebula at High Resolution: Chandra Gratings Spectroscopy of BD+30 3639
Young Sam Yu, Raanan Nordon, Joel H. Kastner +3
We present the results of the first X-ray gratings spectroscopy observations of a planetary nebula (PN), the X-ray-bright, young BD+30 3639. We observed BD+30 3639 for a total of 3…
Shaping Planetary Nebulae by Light Jets
Muhammad Akashi, Noam Soker
We conduct numerical simulations of axisymmetrical jets expanding into a spherical AGB slow wind. The three-dimensional flow is simulated with an axially symmetric numerical code.…
