New VLBI observations of SS 433
The unique object SS433 is brieey reviewed with particular reference to the part played by the stellar wind ejected by the early type companion star. The aims of this observational campaign are described and the theory of the mass loss rate measurements explained. VLBA 1.6 GHz maps are presented as well as preliminary 23 GHz VLA and MERLIN maps. Mass loss rates of around 510 ?6 M yr ?1 are foun...
متن کاملComet Dust from Airborne Leonid Storm Observations
For the past five years, rare Leonid meteor storms offered unique access to cometary dust by spectacular manifestations of recently ejected dust grains, which could be observed by exceptional meteor observing techniques. The final storms, those of November 19, 2002, measured the dust distribution in a comet dust trail far from the position of the comet itself. The measured spatial and particle ...
متن کاملXMM − Newton observations of the eastern jet of SS 433
Context. The radio supernova remnant W50 hosts at its center the peculiar galactic X-ray binary SS 433. It shows a central spherical structure with two " ears " which are supposed to be formed by the interaction of the precessing jets of SSwith the supernova shell. Aims. A study of the spectral and spatial structure of the X-ray emission can reveal the physical conditions of the interaction of ...
متن کاملRadar observations of 8P/Tuttle: A contact-binary comet
Arecibo radar imagery of Comet 8P/Tuttle reveals a 10-km-long nucleus with a highly bifurcated shape consistent with a contact binary. A separate echo component was also detected from large (>cm-size), slow-moving grains of the type expected to contribute to the Ursid meteor stream. ! 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
متن کاملRadar observations of Comet 2P/Encke during the 2003 apparition
The nucleus of Comet 2P/Encke was detected with the Arecibo radar during the close approach of November, 2003, making this the first comet to yield radar detections at two different apparitions. Although the measured radar cross section of 1.0 km2 was close to that obtained in 1980, the Doppler bandwidth was nearly four times larger. Most of this bandwidth difference can simply be attributed to...
