Pulsations in hot supergiants
Massive stars are the cosmic engines that shape and drive our Universe. Many issues such as their formation, their stability and the mass loss effects, are far from being completely understood. Recent ground-based and space observations have shown pulsations in massive MS and post-MS stars, such as acoustic and gravity modes excited by the κ-mechanism and even solar-like oscillations. Theoretic...
متن کاملAn analysis of STIS HST UV spectra of M33 early B supergiants
We present terminal velocities of M33 B-supergiants, obtained from STIS HST spectra as part of our programme to investigate the Wind Momentum – Luminosity Relationship (WLR) in the Local Group. Terminal velocities are derived from their N V, C IV, and Si IV resonance lines in UV spectra. Comparing with IUE spectra of Galactic B-supergiants we found evidence of low metallicity in three of our ob...
متن کاملStis Uv Spectroscopy of Early B Supergiants in M31
We analyze STIS spectra in the 1150-1700 Å wavelength range obtained for six early B supergiants in the neighboring galaxy M31. Because of their likely high (nearly solar) abundance, these stars were originally chosen to be directly comparable to their Galactic counterparts, and represent a much-needed addition to our current sample of B-type supergiants, in our efforts to study the dependence ...
متن کاملDetermination of size and concentration of gold nanoparticles from UV-vis spectra.
The dependence of the optical properties of spherical gold nanoparticles on particle size and wavelength were analyzed theoretically using multipole scattering theory, where the complex refractive index of gold was corrected for the effect of a reduced mean free path of the conduction electrons in small particles. To compare these theoretical results to experimental data, gold nanoparticles in ...
متن کاملDetermination of diclofenac released from suppositories using UV spectrophotometry, spectra derivative spectrophotometry and HPLC.
Spectrophotometric method is often recommended in dissolution testing of not only tablets or capsules but also suppositories. Dissolution rate of diclofenac sodium was studied using a pharmacopoeial flow-through apparatus and pH 7.3 buffer. For two lipophilic suppository bases (Witepsol W-32 and H-19) dissolution rate was overestimated with the spectrophotometric zero-order method in comparison...
