Stellar differential rotation from direct starspot tracking
On the Sun, the rotation periods of individual sunspots not only trace the latitude dependence of the surface rotation rate, but also provide clues as to the amount of subsurface fluid shear. In this paper we present the first measurements of stellar differential rotation made by tracking the rotation of individual starspots with sizes comparable to the largest sunspots. To achieve this we re-a...
متن کاملStellar population synthesis diagnostics
A quantitative method is presented to compare observed and synthetic colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). The method is based on a χ merit function for a point (ci,mi) in the observed CMD, which has a corresponding point in the simulated CMD within nσ(ci,mi) of the error ellipse. The χ merit function is then combined with the Poisson merit function of the points for which no corresponding point wa...
متن کاملAGN variability time scales and the discrete - event model
We analyse the ultraviolet variability time scales in a sample of 15 Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) observed by IUE. Using a structure function analysis, we demonstrate the existence in most objects of a maximum variability time scale of the order of 0.02–1.00 year. We do not find any significant dependence of these maximum variability time scales on the wavelength, but we observe a weak c...
متن کاملStellar Population Diagnostics of Elliptical Galaxy Formation
Major progress has been achieved in recent years in mapping the properties of passively-evolving, early-type galaxies (ETG) from the local universe all the way to redshift ∼ 2. Here, age and metallicity estimates for local cluster and field ETGs are reviewed as based on color-magnitude, color-σ, and fundamental plane relations, as well as on spectral-line indices diagnostics. The results of app...
متن کاملRotational Instabilities in Post–Collapse Stellar Cores
A core–collapse supernova might produce large amplitude gravitational waves if, through the collapse process, the inner core can aquire enough rotational energy to become dynamically unstable. In this report I present the results of 3-D numerical simulations of core collapse supernovae. These simulations indicate that for some initial conditions the post–collapse inner core is indeed unstable. ...
