Abstract:
We have made 3.6 cm VLBI observations of the RS CVn binary star IM Pegasi (HR 8703) approximately four times per year since 1997 in support of the NASA/Stanford Relativity Gyroscope Experiment (Gravity Probe B). Phase-referenced maps reveal structural changes in the radio emission of the star on hour time scales during several of the sessions. Analyses of the VLBI phase delays with a Kalman-filter estimator reveal submilliarcsecond motions of the radio centroid of the star on hour and even subhour time scales. The observed structural changes and centroid motions often coincide with rapid chang

These high quality data give the first information on the temporal and spectral variability of CC Eri in the X-ray energy band.During the ROSAT observations the X-ray intensity of the source is variable on timescales from a few minutes to several hours.

Manipulating light quality is a potential alternative method of regulating plant height in the commercial production of ornamental crops.

We investigated the effects of the R:FR and duration of EOD lighting in regulating extension growth and flowering of two poinsettia cultivars, White Glitter and Marble Star.

The criticisms of Clarice Lispector’s The Hour of the Star (1977) were analyzed by (re) evaluating its relevance and the legacy of its author. After a critical review of the texts in popular publications, it was found that, in Brazil, the debates about the novel were centered between explicitness and introspection, social commitment and aesthetic sublimation. Foreign critics, on the other hand, raised Lispector’s ability to reach diverse audiences and the readability of her work, including disputes over her prestige as an author among other great writers and the relevance of her compositions.

AbstractV479 And is a 14.26 hour, close binary system, comprised of a G8-K0 star departing from the main sequence and a compact primary star accreting matter from the donor. The object is an X-ray source, modulated with the orbital period. This, and the presence of an intense He II line, leads us to speculate that the compact object is a magnetic white dwarf. However, we do not find strong constraints on the upper mass limit of the compact object, and we may have a neutron star in a low mass X-ray binary instead of a cataclysmic variable. The orbital period is certainly too short for the donor

These compressional structures are most likely mirror mode waves. There is a clear wave transition in the magnetosheath which probably results from the change of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) cone angle. The wave characteristics in the magnetosheath are strongly controlled by the type of the upstream bow shock.

AbstractIt is shown here that the peculiar properties of AE Aqr can can be accounted for if the mass transfer from an evolved 0.7M⊙ secondary K4-5 star (qi ≈ 0.8, i.e. < 1) initiated when the orbital period of the binary was Porb,i ≈ 8.5 hours and the white dwarf period P*,i ≈ 1 hour. This resulted in a significant amount of orbital angular momentum being accreted by the white dwarf in an initial discless spin-up phase towards P* ≈ 0.1 Porb,i. This destabilized the mass transfer, resulting in a run-away mass transfer from the secondary that lasted for approximately 104 years, with the orbit

The propagation of radio waves from distant compact radio sources through turbulent interstellar plasma in our Galaxy causes these sources to twinkle, a phenomenon called interstellar scintillation. Such scintillations are a unique probe of the micro-arcsecond structure of radio sources as well as of the sub-AU-scale structure of the Galactic interstellar medium. Weak scintillations (i.e. an intensity modulation of a few percent) on timescales of a few days or longer are commonly seen at centimetre wavelengths and are thought to result from the line-of-sight integrated turbulence in the inters

An axisymmetric density distribution likely to be representative for many Planetary Nebulae (PN). We suggest that the axial symmetry of PN results from a predominant ejection of matter in the equatorial direction due to the duplicity of the central star (Livio et al.,1979, Ap. J.,188,1). We present an illustrative example of the formation of the bipolar PN Soutern Crab (He 2–104). In this model high velocity matter ejected by hot central star interacts with an outer oblate envelope located around a symbiotic binary star. The binary consists of a Mira variable, ejected matter forming a thick di

AbstractWe have obtained 21 ~one-hour observations of the prototypical spotted star, BY Dra, with the VLA. These data are sufficiently well spaced in time to allow for complete rotational and orbital phase coverage; the resultant radio light curves are compared to their optical counterpart. We also plot the emission versus time without phase-folding, in order to search for longer periods of activity. Splitting the data into smaller (three minute) time bins allows for the determination of the normalized amplitude distribution of the flux; we compare this with known stellar optical and X-ray fla

ABSTRACT By virtue of their sub-hour orbital periods, ultra-compact X-ray binaries are promising sources for the space-borne gravitational-wave interferometers LISA, Taiji, and TianQin. Some of these systems contain a neutron star primary, whose spin period can be measured directly via pulse timing, or indirectly through rotational modulations of burst phenomena. It is pointed out here that since actively accreting stars, with spin frequencies in the hundreds of Hz, may continuously emit appreciable gravitational waves due to the presence of accretion-built mountains, toroidal magnetic fields,

AbstractThe high stellar densities at the centre of some globular clusters provide prolific breeding grounds for exotic stars, e.g., the 11 msec pulsars in 47 Tuc and numerous blue stragglers. The same high density of stars as viewed on the sky makes ground-based photometry problematic for variable star detection. Even a very few tight binaries can be of fundamental importance for the dynamic evolution of the cluster core.

In this paper, we investigate induced oscillations by the gravitational field of a fast stellar object, such as a neutron star or a black-hole in a near miss collision with another star. Nonadiabatic collision conditions may lead to large amplitude oscillations in the star. We show that for a solar-type star a resonant condition can be achieved by a fast moving stellar object with velocity in the range of 100 to 1000 km/s, passing at a distance of a few multiples of the star radius. Although such collisions are rare, they are more frequent than head-on collisions, and their effects could be ob

We have described that, in adrenal and Leydig cells, the hormonal regulation of free arachidonic acid (AA) concentration is mediated by the concerted action of two enzymes: an acyl-CoA thioesterase (MTE-I or ARTISt) and an acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS4). In this study we analyzed the potential regulation of these proteins by hormonal action in steroidogenic cells. We demonstrated that ACS4 is rapidly induced by adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cAMP in Y1 adrenocortical cells. The hormone and its second messenger increased ACS4 protein levels in a time and concentration dependent way. Maximal concent
