Modelling the Soft X-Ray and EUV Emission in Classical Novae: EUVE and ROSAT Observations of V1974 Cygni
No full textMassive Star Forming Regions in the Galactic Plane: A Comparative Study Using BGPS, Spitzer, & Optical/Near-IR Surveys
No full textAbstractThe Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) is a 1.1 mm continuum survey that has detected more than 8300 clumps over a 170 square degree survey area in the Galactic plane. The full power of these data is realised only when considering the full complement of data spanning millimetre through x-ray wavelengths.</jats:p
Infrared emission of young HII regions: a Herschel/Hi-GAL study
No full textContext. Investigating the relationship between radio and infrared emission of HII regions may help shed light on the nature of the ionizing stars and the formation mechanism of early-type stars in general.
Aims. We have taken advantage of recent unbiased surveys of the Galactic plane such as Herschel/Hi-GAL and VLA/CORNISH to study a bona fide sample of young HII regions located in the Galactic longitude range 10°–65° by comparing the mid- and far-IR continuum emission to the radio free-free emission at 5 GHz.
Methods. We have identified the Hi-GAL counterparts of 230 CORNISH HII regions and reconstructed the spectral energy distributions of 204 of these by complementing the Hi-GAL fluxes with ancillary data at longer and shorter wavelengths. Using literature data, we obtained a kinematical distance estimate for 200 HII regions with Hi-GAL counterparts and determined their luminosities by integrating the emission of the corresponding spectral energy distributions. We have also estimated the mass of the associated molecular clumps from the (sub)millimeter flux densities.
Results. Our main finding is that for ~1/3 of the HII regions the Lyman continuum luminosity appears to be greater than the value expected for a zero-age main-sequence star with the same bolometric luminosity. This result indicates that a considerable fraction of young, embedded early-type stars presents a “Lyman excess” possibly due to UV photons emitted from shocked material infalling onto the star itself and/or a circumstellar disk. Finally, by comparing the bolometric and Lyman continuum luminosities with the mass of the associated clump, we derive a star formation efficiency of 5%.
Conclusions. The results obtained suggest that accretion may still be present during the early stages of the evolution of HII regions, with important effects on the production of ionizing photons and thus on the circumstellar environment. More reliable numerical models describing the accretion process onto massive stars are required to shed light on the origin of the observed Lyman excess
Comparative analysis of atmospheric parameters from high-resolution spectroscopic sky surveys: APOGEE, GALAH,
No full textContext. SDSS-IV APOGEE-2, GALAH, and Gaia-ESO are high-resolution, ground-based, multi-object spectroscopic surveys providing fundamental stellar atmospheric parameters and multiple elemental abundance ratios for hundreds of thousands of stars of the Milky Way. Data from these and other surveys contribute to investigations of the history and evolution of the Galaxy.
Aims. We undertake a comparison between the most recent data releases of these surveys to investigate the accuracy and precision of derived parameters by placing the abundances on an absolute scale. We also discuss the correlations in parameter and abundance differences as a function of main parameters. Uncovering the variants provides a basis to continue the efforts of future sky surveys.
Methods. Quality samples from the APOGEE−GALAH (15 537 stars), APOGEE−GES (804 stars), and GALAH−GES (441 stars) overlapping catalogs were collected. We investigated the mean variants between the surveys, and linear trends were also investigated. We compared the slope of correlations and mean differences with the reported uncertainties.
Results. The average and scatter of vrad, Teff, log g, [M/H], and vmicro, along with numerous species of elemental abundances in the combined catalogs, show that in general there is a good agreement between the surveys. We find large radial velocity scatters ranging from 1.3 km s−1 to 4.4 km s−1 when comparing the three surveys. We observe some weak trends (e.g., in ΔTeff vs. Δlog g for the APOGEE−GES stars) and a clear correlation in the vmicro − Δvmicro planes in the APOGEE−GALAH common sample. For [α/H], [Ti/H] (APOGEE−GALAH giants), and [Al/H] (APOGEE−GALAH dwarfs) potential strong correlations are discovered as a function of the differences in the main atmospheric parameters, and we also find weak trends for other elements.
Conclusions. In general we find good agreement between the three surveys within their respective uncertainties. However, there are certain regimes in which strong variants exist, which we discuss. There are still offsets larger than 0.1 dex in the absolute abundance scales
The Stony Brook / SMARTS Atlas of (mostly) Southern Novae
No full textABSTRACT We introduce the Stony Brook / SMARTS Atlas of (mostly) Southern Novae. This atlas contains both spectra and photometry obtained since 2003. The data archived in this atlas will facilitate systematic studies of the nova phenomenon and correlative studies with other comprehensive data sets. It will also enable detailed investigations of individual objects. In making the data public we hope to engender more interest on the part of the community in the physics of novae. The atlas is on-line a
