Mmt Hypervelocity Star Survey
We describe a new survey for unbound hypervelocity stars (HVSs), stars traveling with such extreme velocities that dynamical ejection from a massive black hole (MBH) is their most likely origin. We investigate the possible contribution of unbound runaway stars, and show that the physical properties of binaries constrain low mass runaways to bound velocities. We measure radial velocities for HVS...
متن کاملMeasuring Velocity Changes along a Solar Chimney
The increasing consumption of energy from fossil fuels on the one hand and the pollution created by it on the other hand has always raised the concern of replacing clean and renewable energy with fossil fuels in the human mind. Generating electricity through clean energy can be a good solution to reduce pollutants and prevent global warming. One of the most available types of renewable energy i...
متن کاملConstraining the Spin-down of the Nearby Isolated Neutron Star Rx J2143.0+0654
Magnetic field estimates for nearby isolated neutron stars (INS) help to constrain both the characteristics of the population and the nature of their peculiar X-ray spectra. From a series of XMM-Newton observations of RX J2143.0+0654, we measure a spin-down rate of ν̇ = (−4.6 ± 2.0)× 10 Hz s. While this does not allow a definitive measurement of the dipole magnetic field strength, fields of & 10...
متن کاملConstraining MOND with Solar System dy- namics
In this letter we investigate the deep Newtonian regime of the MOND paradigm from a purely phenomenological point of view by exploiting the least-square estimated corrections to the secular rates of the perihelia of the inner and of some of the outer planets of the Solar System by E.V. Pitjeva with the EPM2004 ephemerides. By using μ(x) ≈ 1 − k0(1/x)n for the interpolating MONDian function We f...
متن کاملA hypervelocity star from the Large Magellanic Cloud
We study the acceleration of the star HE 0437–5439 to hypervelocity and discuss its possible origin in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The star has a radial velocity of 723 km s and is located at a distance of 61 kpc from the Sun. With a mass of about 8M⊙, the travel time from the Galactic centre is of about 100Myr, much longer than its main sequence lifetime. Given the relatively small dista...
