  • Jerzykiewicz, M.; Lehmann, H.; Niemczura, E.; Molenda- Zakowicz, J.; Dymitrov, W.; Fagas, M.; Guenther, David B.; Hartmann, M.; Hrudkova, M.; Kaminski, K.; Weiss, Werner W. (Oxford University Press, 2013-06)

    MOST time series photometry of μ Eri, an SB1 eclipsing binary with a rapidly rotating SPB primary, is reported and analysed. The analysis yields a number of sinusoidal terms, mainly due to the intrinsic ...


  • Gruberbauer, Michael; Guenther, David B.; MacLeod, K.; Kallinger, T. (Oxford University Press, 2013-10)
    We study 23 previously published Kepler targets to perform a consistent grid-based Bayesian asteroseismic analysis and compare our results to those obtained via the Asteroseismic Modelling Portal. We find differences in ...

  • Gallo, Luigi C.; MacMackin, C.; Vasudevan, R.; Cackett, E. M.; Fabian, A. C.; Panessa, F. (Oxford University Press, 2013-07)

    1ES 1927+654 is an active galactic nucleus (AGN) that appears to defy the unification model. It exhibits a type-2 optical spectrum, but possesses little X-ray obscuration. XMM–Newton and Suzaku ...


  • Gallo, Luigi C.; Fabian, A. C. (Oxford University Press, 2013-09)
    In some radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGN), high-energy absorption features in the X-ray spectra have been interpreted as ultrafast outflows (UFOs) – highly ionized material (e.g. Fe XXV and Fe XXVI) ejected at mildly ...

  • Shellnutt, J. G.; Dostal, J.; Iizuka, Y. (American Geophysical Union, 2013-11-22)
    The role silicate-liquid immiscibility plays in the formation of macro-scale, bimodal volcanic/plutonic igneous complexes, and Fe-Ti oxide deposits is debated as the rock compositions produced by immiscibility are similar ...

  •  Heim, Amy; Lundholm, Jeremy T. (Jeremy Todd), 1970- (F1000Research, 2013-12-16)
    Green roofs are constructed ecosystems that provide ecosystem services in urban environments. Shallow substrate green roofs subject the vegetation layer to desiccation and other environmental extremes, so researchers have ...

  • Capuano, Paolo; Russo, Guido; Civetta, Lucia; Orsi, Giovanni; D’Antonio, Massimo; Moretti, Roberto (American Geophysical Union, 2013-10)
    We present an improved density model and a new structural map of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff caldera, the active portion of the nested Campi Flegrei caldera. The model was built using a new 3-D inversion of the available ...

  • Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Kovtyukh, V. V.; Luck, R. E.; Berdnikov, L. N. (IOP Publishing Limited, 2013-07-20)

    The determination of pulsation mode and distance for field Cepheids is a complicated problem best resolved by a luminosity estimate. For illustration a technique based on spectroscopic luminosity discrimination is applied ...


  • Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Kovtyukh, V. V.; Usenko, I. A.; Gorlova, N. I. (IOP Publishing Limited, 2013-01-01)

    A previously derived photometric parallax of 10.10 ± 0.20 mas, d = 99 ± 2 pc, is confirmed for Polaris by a spectroscopic parallax derived using line ratios in high dispersion spectra for the Cepheid. The ...


  • Dragomir, Diana; Matthews, Jaymie M.; Eastman, Jason D.; Cameron, Chris; Howard, Andrew W.; Guenther, David B.; Kuschnig, Rainer; Moffat, Anthony F. J.; Rowe, Jason F.; Rucinski, Slavek M. (IOP Publishing Limited, 2013-07-20)
    Through photometric monitoring of the extended transit window of HD 97658b with the MOST space telescope, we have found that this exoplanet transits with an ephemeris consistent with that predicted from radial velocity ...

  • Short, C. Ian (Christopher Ian), 1965-; Campbell, Eamonn A. (American Astronomical Society, 2013-06-01)
    We extend the grid of non-LTE (NLTE) models presented in Paper II to explore variations in abundance pattern in two ways: (1) the adoption of the Asplund et al. (GASS10) abundances, (2) for stars of metallicity, [M/H], ...

  • Zwintz, K.; Fossati, L.; Ryabchikova, T.; Kaiser, A.; Gruberbauer, Michael; Barnes, T. G.; Baglin, A.; Chaintreuil, S. (EDP Sciences, 2013-02)
    Context. Pulsations in pre-main sequence stars have been discovered several times within the last years. But nearly all of these pulsators are of [delta] Scuti-type. [gamma] Doradus-type pulsation in young stars has been ...

  • Richardson, Mark L. A.; Scannapieco, Evan; Thacker, Robert John, 1970- (American Astronomical Society, 2013-07-10)
    In the early universe, substantial relative “stream” velocities between the gas and dark matter arise due to radiation pressure and persist after recombination. To assess the impact of these velocities on high-redshift ...

  • Majaess, Daniel J.; Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Gieren, W. (American Astronomical Society, 2013-08-01)
    The form and metallicity dependence of Spitzer mid-infrared Cepheid relations are a source of debate. Consequently, Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 [mu]m period–magnitude and period–color diagrams were re-examined via robust routines, ...

  • Zwintz, K.; Fossati, L.; Guenther, David B.; Ryabchikova, T.; Baglin, A.; Themessl, N.; Barnes, T. G.; Matthews, J. M.; Auvergne, M.; Bohlender, D. (EDP Sciences, 2013-04)
    Context. The internal structure of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars is poorly constrained at present. This could change significantly through high-quality asteroseismological observations of a sample of such stars. Aims. We ...

  • Golubov, O.; Just, A.; Bienayme, O.; Bland-Hawthorn, J.; Gibson, Brad K.; Grebel, E. K.; Munari, U.; Navarro, J. F.; Parker, Q.; Seabroke, G. (EDP Sciences, 2013-09)
    Context. The determination of the local standard of rest (LSR), which corresponds to the measurement of the peculiar motion of the Sun based on the derivation of the asymmetric drift of stellar populations, is still a ...

  • Carraro, G.; Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Majaess, Daniel J.; Baume, G. (EDP Sciences, 2013-07)

    A new X-ray, UBVRIc, and JHKs study of the young cluster Westerlund 2 was undertaken to resolve discrepancies tied to the cluster’s distance. Existing spectroscopic observations for ...


  • Hall, Daniel Currie; Hall, Kathleen Currie (Ubiquity Press, 2016-12-06)
    The Contrastivist Hypothesis (CH; Hall 2007; Dresher 2009) holds that the only features that can be phonologically active in any language are those that serve to distinguish phonemes, which presupposes that phonemic status ...

  • Pollmann, E; Bennett, Philip Desmond, 1952-; Hopkins, J. L. (Konkoly Observatory, 2016-01-16)
    VV Cep is an eclipsing binary with a period of about 20.4 years that is comprised of an M2Iab primary star and an early B secondary star. A preliminary orbit was announced in 1933 by Harper & Christie (1936), and McLaughlin ...
