Fundamental Parameters of Massive Stars
We discuss the determination of fundamental parameters of ‘normal’ hot, massive OB-type stars, namely temperatures, luminosities, masses, gravities and surface abundances. We also present methods used to derive properties of stellar winds – mass-loss rates and wind velocities from early-type stars.
متن کاملAsymmetries in Limb Darkening
The cause of the asymmetries in limb darkening reported by Neckel and Labs (1987) is discussed on the basis of new, stray-light-free observations, and found to be of instrumental origin.
متن کاملFundamental parameters of Galactic luminous OB stars
We study the effect of microturbulence in the line formation calculations of H and He lines, in the parameter range typical for O and early B stars. We are specially interested in its effect on the determination of stellar parameters: Teff , log g and specially on the He abundance. We first analyze the behaviour of H and He model lines between 4 000 and 5 000 Å with microturbulence and find tha...
متن کاملAccurate fundamental parameters of eclipsing binary stars
The study of detached eclipsing binaries is one of the most powerful ways to investigate the properties of individual stars and stellar systems. We present preliminary masses, radii and effective temperatures for the eclipsing binary WWAurigae, which is composed of two metallic-lined A-type stars. We also reanalyse the data on HD23642, an A-type eclipsing binary member of the Pleiades open clus...
متن کاملVery low mass stars: non-linearity of the limb-darkening laws
Linear and non-linear limb-darkening coefficients for the photometric bands u v b y U B V R I J H K are computed for very low effective temperatures stars. The atmosphere models used (PHOENIX-NextGen) do not include the effects of dust formation and dust opacities. These calculations are presented for the first time. The calculations extend the range of effective temperatures (2000 K 50000 K) c...
