Ultraviolet spectroscopy of V Sagittae in high, intermediate and low states from HST and IUE satellites
Sanad, M. R.
We present the first phase resolved ultraviolet spectroscopic study of V Sge in high, intermediate and low states observed with the Hubble Space Telescope High Resolution Spectrograph (HST HRS) and International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) during the period 1978–1996 to diagnose the ultraviolet fluxes of C IV 1550 Å and He II 1640 Å emission lines …
Structural and morphological properties of ultraluminous infrared galaxies at 1<z<3
Fang, Guanwen; Kong, Xu; Chen, Yang +1 more
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) near-infrared high-resolution imaging from the 3D-HST survey, we analyze the morphology and structure of 502 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs; LIR>1012L⊙) at 1<z< 3. Their rest-frame optical morphologies show that high-redshift ULIRGs…

Hunt for Philae hangs in the balance
Gibney, Elizabeth
Rosetta mission would have to sacrifice other science to search for comet lander.
Revived Philae poised to do comet science
Gibney, Elizabeth
Comet lander has enough power to do experiments but needs a better communications link.
On the origin of two unidentified radio/X-ray sources discovered with XMM-Newton
García, Federico; Combi, Jorge A.; Romero, Gustavo E. +1 more
Aims: We aim at clarifying the nature of the emission of two spatially related unidentified X-ray sources detected with XMM-Newton telescope at intermediate-low Galactic latitude
Methods: We use the imaging and spectral capabilities of XMM-Newton to study the X-ray properties of these two sources. In addition, we complement our study wit…
Rosetta team bags Physics World award
Johnston, Hamish
The Physics World 2014 Breakthrough of the Year has been awarded to the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission for being the first to land a spacecraft on a comet.
"Constant" eclipsing binary in the instability strip
Çakırlı, Ö.
The eclipsing binary OO Peg consist of two late-A type stars in circular orbit with a period of 2.985 days. I use the high-resolution spectroscopic and extensive light curves from the ASAS and Hipparcos survey to measure the physical properties of the system. Previous attempts to model the light and radial velocity curves of the system have met wi…
Solar wind interaction with the terrestrial planets
Radioti, Aikaterini; Milillo, Anna; Garnier, Philippe
This issue entitled "Solar wind interaction with the terrestrial planets" follows the recurrent session PS5.1 (Planetary Plasma Physics and Interactions in the Solar System) held at the European Geophysical Union conference. The EGU session hosts original studies on all aspects of planetary plasma physics and interactions in the Solar System. This…
Ice processes and organic matter in space: observations and laboratory simulations
Martín-Doménech, R.; Muñoz Caro, G. M.
The formation of ice mantles on interstellar and circumstellar dust grains is governed by the accretion and desorption processes. Thermal processing of astrophysical ices takes place in circumstellar environments, near protostars, or already formed stars (comets and other icy bodies). Temperature-programmed desorption experiments of ice composed o…
