Long Period Variables detected by ISO in the SMC
This article presents the study of the light–curves extracted from the MACHO database of a sample of stars observed by the Infrared Space Observatory in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These stars belong to the ISO–Mini-Survey catalogue of the Magellanic Clouds (ISO–MCMS, Loup et al. in preparation). Most of them are in the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and supergiant phases. The dominant period an...
متن کاملProperties of the short period CoRoT - planet population I
Context. We study the planet populations in the discovery window of the CoRoT-space-telescope scheduled for launch on December 27th. We base the prediction on 'first principles' calculations of planet formation in the framework of the planetesimal hypothesis. Aims. To provide a-priori planetary initial mass functions for confrontation with the CoRoT-planet discoveries in the entire range of sen...
متن کاملLong Period Variables in NGC 5128 : II . Near - IR properties ⋆
Long Period Variable stars are ubiquitous among the bright red giant branch stars in NGC 5128. Mostly they are found to be brighter than the tip of the first ascent giant branch with magnitudes ranging from about K = 19 to K = 21.5. They have periods between 155 and 1000 days and K-band amplitudes between 0.1 and 2 mag, characteristic of semi-regular and Mira variables. We compare the colors, p...
متن کاملLong Period Variables in NGC 5128 : I . Catalogue ⋆ ⋆
The first variable star catalogue in a giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) is presented. Using multi-epoch observations with ISAAC at the VLT we have detected 1504 red variables in two halo fields covering 10.46 arcmin square. For the variables with at least 10 good measurements, periods and amplitudes were determined using Fourier analysis and non-linear sine-curve fitting algorithm...
متن کاملThe minimum period problem in cataclysmic variables
We investigate if consequential angular momentum losses (CAML) or an intrinsic deformation of the donor star in CVs could increase the CV bounce period from the canonical theoretical value ∼ 65 min to the observed value P min ≈ 77 min, and if a variation of these effects in a CV population could wash out the theoretically predicted accumulation of systems near the minimum period (the period spi...
