ISO Observations of Classical Novae

Kessler, M. F.; Clavel, J.; Metcalfe, L. +8 more

We describe the ISO programme to observe classical novae. The programme includes observations of novae during and shortly after eruption, and old novae. ISO observations of far infrared fine structure lines are providing us with information about physical conditions in nova ejecta which complement and extend knowledge obtained from ground-based ob…

Refining the Fundamental Parameters of the 3 Post-AGB Stars: HR 4049, HD 52961 and HD 133656 Using Improved Model Atmospheres

Parthasarathy, M.; Monier, R.

Distance Scales After HIPPARCOS

Feast, M. W.

A general review is given of the use of Hipparcos data to calibrate basic distance indicators.

Infrared Observations of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries

Waters, L. B. F. M.; van Loon, J. Th.; Kaper, L. +2 more

We present the first results of our ISO program on High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs). Infrared photometry, obtained at different aspect angles of the systems, is used to investigate the massive star's disrupted stellar wind and the accretion flow towards the compact X-ray source. Scenarios for massive binary evolution predict that HMXBs receive a l…

ISOPHOT Observations of the RS CVN -Type Star HR 7428

Pagano, I.; Messina, S.; Rodonò, M. +3 more

Dust Emission from AGB Stars ISO-SWS Observations of Long-Period Variables

Hron, J.; Kerschbaum, F.; Aringer, B.

AGB Stars in the Magellanic Clouds

Groenewegen, M. A. T.

Some recent results on AGB research in the Magellanic Clouds are reviewed. Discussed are optical and IRAS based surveys, and recent results from the near-infrared DENIS survey, and ISO observations.

Hydrodynamical Modelling of the Evolution of Dusty Outflows from AGB-Stars

Steffen, M.; Szczerba, R.; Schönberner, D.

Infrared Astrophysics in the Space with ISO From ISO to FIRST

Cernicharo, J.

I present some of the results we have obtained with the four instruments on board of the ISO satellite. The determination of water vapour abundance, the study of star forming regions and the determination of the physical and chemical conditions in evolved stars are discussed. The implication of these results for future space-based observatories li…

ISO-LWS Observations of the NGC7129 Star Forming Region

Giannini, Teresa; Nisini, Brunella; Lorenzetti, Dario +2 more

We present far-infrared observations of the surroundings of the Herbig Be star LkHα234 in NGC7129, obtained with the Long Wavelength Spectrometer on board of the Infrared Space Observatory. [CII]158µm, [OI]63µm and [OI]146µm lines are detected everywhere in the mapped region and their intensity ratios are consistent with the model predictions of a…
