Three - micron spectra of AGB stars and supergiants in nearby galaxies ⋆
The dependence of stellar molecular bands on the metallicity is studied using infrared L-band spectra of AGB stars (both carbon-rich and oxygen-rich) and M-type supergiants in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) and in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy. The spectra cover SiO bands for oxygen-rich stars, and acetylene (C 2 H 2), CH and HCN bands for carbon-rich AGB stars. T...
متن کاملTen-micron Observations of Nearby Young Stars
We present new 10μm photometry of 21 nearby young stars obtained at the Palomar 5-meter and at the Keck I 10-meter telescopes as part of a program to search for dust in the habitable zone of young stars. Thirteen of the stars are in the F–K spectral type range (“solar analogs”), 4 have B or A spectral types, and 4 have spectral type M. We confirm existing IRAS 12μm and ground-based 10μm photome...
متن کاملASTROPHYSICS Variable stars in nearby galaxies ?
The light curves of Cepheids and other variable stars in Field A of IC 1613, obtained with a CCD and no filter (Wh photometry), have been analyzed. It is possible to separate first overtone from fundamental mode population I Cepheids taking into account the pulsation amplitude, the shape of the light curve and the period. The expected separation is verified in the period–luminosity PL diagram. ...
متن کاملVariable stars in nearby galaxies . ⋆ I . Search
The first results are presented of a four-year program dedicated to the CCD observations of Cepheids in the nearby galaxy IC 1613. The goal was to obtain good light curves for Fourier decomposition and to detect shorter period Cepheids. Since the program was carried out with a relatively small telescope, the Dutch 0.9 m at ESO-La Silla, the observations were performed without filter (white ligh...
متن کاملAGB stars and the chemical evolution of galaxies
Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are important players in the chemical evolution modelling of galaxies, because they are major producers of several chemical elements and excellent tracers of the structure and of the star formation activity of their parent galaxies. A few examples on the importance of AGB stars are presented in this review, together with a number of open problems affecting ch...
