New Grids of ATLAS9 Model Atmospheres
F. Castelli, R. L. Kurucz
New opacity distribution functions (ODFs) for several metallicities have been computed. The main improvements upon previous ODFs computed by Kurucz (1990) are: (1) the replacement…
Spatially Resolved STIS Spectroscopy of Betelgeuse's Outer Atmosphere
A. Lobel, J. Aufdenberg, A. K. Dupree +3
We present spatially resolved spectra observed with HST-STIS of the upper chromosphere and dust envelope of Alpha Orionis (M2 Iab). In the fall of 2002 a set of five high-resolutio…
The "Extra-Solar Giant Planets" are Brown Dwarfs
Robert L. Kurucz
After an M, K, G, or F star forms, it magnetically compresses the infall dregs to produce a close in brown dwarf.
The formation of life
Robert L. Kurucz
The formation of life is an automatic stage in the consolidation of rocky or "terrestrial" planets. The organic (=carbonaceous) matter, light elements, gases, and water must "float…
An outline of radiatively-driven cosmology
Robert L. Kurucz
A Big Bang universe consisting, before recombination, of H, D, 3He, 4He, 6Li, and 7Li ions, electrons, photons, and massless neutrinos, at closure density, with a galaxy-size pertu…
A correction to the pp reaction
Robert L. Kurucz
These descriptive comments are made to encourage detailed three-body, relativistic, quantum collision calculations for the pp reaction. In stars, coulomb barrier tunneling, as in t…
