Polarization Observations of 1800 Stars

Observations of Pulsating Stars

Pulsations discussed will begin at the “top” of the instability strip with pulsating red giants and Miras, which are evolved stars nearing their own demise. The next discussed will be the Cepheids, both the “Classical” ones as well as the W Virginis (Population II stars). While moving down the instability strip of the HR Diagram, the next major type of variable (pulsating) star are the RR Lyrae...

EUVE Observations of Neutron Stars

We present the results of searches for EUV emission from neutron stars conducted with the EUVE Deep Survey and Scanner Telescopes. To date, 21 fields containing known neutron stars have been observed in the Lexan/Boron (40–190 Å ) band. Of these, 11 fields were simultaneously observed in the Aluminum/Carbon (160-385 Å ) band. Five neutron stars which have been detected in the EUV have been repo...

IRAS Observations of Scuti Stars

Observations of Cooling Neutron Stars

Observations of cooling neutron stars allow to measure photospheric radii and to constrain the equation of state of nuclear matter at high densities. In this paper we concentrate on neutron stars, which show thermal (photospheric) Xray emission and have measured distances. After a short summary of the radio pulsars falling into this category we review the observational data of the 7 radio quiet...

Stars: an Agglomeration of Stellar Polarization Catalogs

We present an agglomeration of stellar polarization catalogs with results for 9286 stars. We have endeavored to eliminate errors, provide accurate (∼arcsecond) positions, sensibly weight multiple observations of the same star, and provide reasonable distances. This catalog is available by anonymous FTP as ascii file /pub/polcat/p14.out at vermi.berkeley.edu. This manuscript is also available at...
