Bona-fide, Strong-variable Galactic Luminous Blue Variable Stars Are Fast Rotators: Detection of a High Rotational Velocity in Hr Carinae
We report optical observations of the Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) HR Carinae which show that the star has reached a visual minimum phase in 2009. More importantly, we detected absorptions due to Si IV λλ4088–4116. To match their observed line profiles from 2009 May, a high rotational velocity of vrot ≃ 150± 20 km s −1 is needed (assuming an inclination angle of 30), implying that HR Car rotate...
متن کاملFiat and Bona Fide Boundaries
There is a basic distinction, in the realm of spatial boundaries, between bona fide boundaries on the one hand, and fiat boundaries on the other. The former are just the physical boundaries of old. The latter are exemplified especially by boundaries induced through human demarcation, for example in the geographic domain. The classical problems connected with the notions of adjacency, contact, s...
متن کاملWhat Are the bona fide GSK3 Substrates?
Nearly 100 proteins are proposed to be substrates for GSK3, suggesting that this enzyme is a fundamental regulator of almost every process in the cell, in every tissue in the body. However, it is not certain how many of these proposed substrates are regulated by GSK3 in vivo. Clearly, the identification of the physiological functions of GSK3 will be greatly aided by the identification of its bo...
متن کاملA Second Luminous Blue Variable in the Quintuplet Cluster.
H- and K-band moderate-resolution and 4 µm high-resolution spectra have been obtained for FMM 362, a bright star in the Quintuplet Cluster near the Galactic center. The spectral features in these bands closely match those of the Pistol Star, a luminous blue variable and one of the most luminous stars known. The new spectra and previously obtained photometry imply a very high luminosity for FMM ...
متن کاملFiat or Bona Fide Boundary—A Matter of Granular Perspective
BACKGROUND Distinguishing bona fide (i.e. natural) and fiat (i.e. artificial) physical boundaries plays a key role for distinguishing natural from artificial material entities and is thus relevant to any scientific formal foundational top-level ontology, as for instance the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). In BFO, the distinction is essential for demarcating two foundational categories of material ...
