High Resolution Optical Spectroscopy
This experiment will allow you to learn a specific optical technique with applications over a wide variety of phenomena. You will use a commercial spectrometer (a very common piece of equipment in research labs) to obtain the emission wavelengths of particular elements (e.g. mercury, sodium, hydrogen and deuterium) as well as to compare the outputs of gas and solid state lasers. You will be abl...
متن کاملEmission line variability of RS Ophiuchi ⋆
We report that the Hα emission line of RS Oph was strongly variable during our 2004 observations on a time scale of 1 month. The line consisted of both a double peaked central narrow component (FWHM∼220 km s) and a strongly variable broad one (FWHM>2000 km s). The base of the Hα line was very broad with FWZI≈4600 km s on all spectra from 1986 to 2004. The variability of the broad component exte...
متن کاملRS Ophiuchi : Thermonuclear Explosion or Disc Instability ?
Sokoloski et al (2008) have recently reported evidence that the recurrent nova RS Ophi-uchi produced a pair of highly collimated radio jets within days of its 2006 outburst. This suggests that an accretion disc must be present during the outburst. However in the standard picture of recurrent novae as thermonuclear events, any such disc must be expelled from the white dwarf vicinity, as the nucl...
متن کاملPrediction of Supersoft X-ray Phase during the 2006 Outburst of Rs Ophiuchi
RS Ophiuchi is one of the well-observed recurrent novae and also a candidate progenitor of Type Ia supernovae. Its sixth recorded outburst was discovered on 12 February 2006. Detection of a supersoft X-ray phase will provide a firm confirmation of hydrogen shell-burning on the white dwarf and its turn-on/turn-off dates strongly constrain a mass range of the white dwarf, which clarify whether or...
متن کاملHigh resolution optical spectroscopy of Praesepe white dwarfs ⋆
We present the results of a high resolution optical spectroscopic study of nine white dwarf candidate members of Praesepe undertaken with the VLT and UVES. We find, contrary to a number of previous studies, that WD0836+201 (LB390, EG59) and WD0837+199 (LB393, EG61) are magnetic and non-magnetic white dwarfs respectively. Subsequently, we determine the radial velocities for the eight non-magneti...
