Thermonuclear Burst Observations for Model Comparisons: A Reference Sample
Galloway, Duncan K.; Goodwin, Adelle J.; Keek, Laurens
We present observations of thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts, selected for comparison with numerical models. We provide examples of four distinct cases of ignition: He-ignition in mixed H/He fuel (case 1); He-ignition in pure He fuel, following exhaustion of accreted H by steady burning (case 2); ignition in (almost) pure He accumulated from an …
Unbiased Large Spectroscopic Surveys of Galaxies Selected by SPICA Using Dust Bands
Pozzi, F.; Scott, D.; Wang, L. +27 more
The mid-infrared range contains many spectral features associated with large molecules and dust grains such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and silicates. These are usually very strong compared to fine-structure gas lines, and thus valuable in studying the spectral properties of faint distant galaxies. In this paper, we evaluate the capability…
Dynamical Study of the Exoplanet Host Binary System HD 106515
Rica, F. M.; Barrena, R.; Henríquez, J. A. +2 more
HD 106515 AB (STF1619 AB) is a high common proper motion and common radial velocity binary star system composed of two G-type bright stars located at 35 pc and separated by about 7 arcsec. This system was observed by the Hipparcos satellite with a precision in distance and proper motion of 3 and 2%, respectively. The system includes a circumprimar…
An All-Sky Portable (ASP) Optical Catalogue
Flesch, Eric Wim
This optical catalogue combines the all-sky USNO-B1.0/A1.0 and most-sky APM catalogues, plus overlays of SDSS optical data, into a single all-sky map presented in a sparse binary format that is easily downloaded at 9 Gb zipped. Total count is 1 163 237 190 sources and each has J2000 astrometry, red and blue magnitudes with PSFs and variability ind…
