Constraining fundamental stellar parameters using seismology
We apply the Levenberg-Marquardt minimization algorithm to seismic and classical observables of the αCen binary system in order to derive the fundamental parameters of αCenA+B, and to analyze the dependence of these parameters on the chosen observables, on their uncertainty, and on the physics used in stellar modelling. The seismological data are those by Bouchy & Carrier (2002) for αCen A, and...
متن کاملNew high resolution synthetic stellar libraries for the Gaia Mission
High resolution synthetic stellar libraries are of fundamental importance for the preparation of the Gaia Mission. We present new sets of spectral stellar libraries covering two spectral ranges: 300 –1100 nm at 0.1 nm resolution, and 840 – 890 nm at 0.001 nm resolution. These libraries span a large range in atmospheric parameters, from super-metalrich to very metal-poor (-5.0 <[Fe/H]<+1.0), fro...
متن کاملDesign tradeoffs for a high spectral resolution mid-infrared echelle spectrograph on the Thirty-Meter Telescope
A feasibility design study was undertaken to assess the requirements of a mid-infrared echelle spectrograph (MIRES) with a resolving power of 120,000 and its associated mid-infrared adaptive optics (MIRAO) system on the Thirty-Meter Telescope. Our baseline design incorporates a 2Kx2K Si:As array or array mosaic for the spectrograph and a 1Kx1K Si:As array for the slit viewer. Various tradeoffs ...
متن کاملPlanetary seismology: High risk, high return
Except for specialists, planetary seismology refers first to Earth seismology, and stimulates thoughts about earthquakes, tsunamis, and all such rare and brutal events that everyone knows by experience and/or fears. According to etymology, seismology shakes and shocks our bodies and our minds. According to semantics, all languages make the difference between “superficial” and “deep” things, so ...
متن کاملGMTNIRS – The High Resolution Near-IR Spectrograph for the Giant Magellan Telescope
We present a conceptual design for a powerful, high-resolution near-infrared spectrograph for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). This instrument, the Giant Magellan Telescope Near-Infrared Spectrograph (GMTNIRS), uses silicon immersion gratings as the primary dispersing elements. The design has two modules, one for 1.1-2.4 m for use under native seeing conditions and one for 3-5.5 m to be used...
