Some Observational Aspects of R Coronae Borealis Stars
Some of the observational aspects related to the evolutionary status and dust production in R Cor Bor stars are discussed. Recent work regarding the surface abundances, stellar winds and evidence for dust production in these high luminosty hydrogen deficient stars are also reviewed. Possibility of the stellar winds being maintained by surface magnetic fields is also considered.
متن کاملFluorine in R Coronae Borealis Stars
Neutral fluorine (F i) lines are identified in the optical spectra of several RCoronae Borealis stars (RCBs) at maximum light. These lines provide the first measurement of the fluorine abundance in these stars. Fluorine is enriched in some RCBs by factors of 800 to 8000 relative to its likely initial abundance. The overabundances of fluorine are evidence for the synthesis of fluorine. These res...
متن کاملWinds in R Coronae Borealis Stars
We present new spectroscopic observations of the He I λ10830 line in R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars which provide the first strong evidence that most, if not all, RCB stars have winds. It has long been suggested that when dust forms around an RCB star, radiation pressure accelerates the dust away from the star, dragging the gas along with it. The new spectra show that nine of the ten stars obse...
متن کاملUBV JHKLM photometry and modeling of R Coronae Borealis
We present the results of UBV JHKLM photometry of RCrB spanning the period from 1976 to 2001. Studies of the optical light curve have shown no evidence of any stable harmonics in the variations of the stellar emission. In the L band we found semi-regular oscillations with the two main periods of ∼ 3.3 yr and ∼ 11.9 yr and the full amplitude of ∼ 0. 8 and ∼ 0. 6, respectively. The colors of the ...
متن کاملThe R Coronae Borealis stars – atmospheres and abundances
An abundance analysis of the H-deficient and Heand C-rich R Coronae Borealis (R CrB) stars has been undertaken to examine the ancestry of the stars. The investigation is based on high-resolution spectra and line-blanketed H-deficient model atmospheres. The models successfully reproduce the flux distributions and all spectral features, both molecular bands and high-excitation transitions, with o...
