The GL 569 Multiple System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the results of high spectral and angular resolution infrared observations of the multiple system GL 569 A and B that were intended to measure the dynamical masses of the brown dwarf binary believed to comprise GL 569 B. Our analysis did not yield this result but, instead, revealed two surprises. First, at age ∼ 100 Myr, the system is younger than had been reported earlier. Second, our spectroscopic and photometric results provide support for earlier indications that GL 569 B is actually a hierarchical brown dwarf triple rather than a binary. Our results suggest that the three components of GL 569 B have roughly equal mass, ∼ 0.04 M ⊙

Quiescent X-ray Emission from an Evolved Brown Dwarf ?
I report on the X-ray detection of Gl 569 Bab. During a 25 ksec Chandra observation the binary brown dwarf is for the first time spatially separated in X-rays from the flare star primary Gl 569 A. Companionship to Gl 569 A constrains the age of the brown dwarf pair to 300 − 800 Myr. The observation presented here is only the second X-ray detection of an evolved brown dwarf. About half of the ob...
متن کاملOutcome of Patients with Cholinergic Insecticide Poisoning Treated with Gastric Lavage: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study
Background: Gastric lavage (GL) is one of the most commonly used decontamination method for cholinergic insecticide ingestion in developing countries despite lack of supporting evidence. This study was designed to evaluate the outcome of patients with cholinergic insecticide poisoning treated with GL in regards to timing and frequency of the procedure. Methods: In this prospective observational...
متن کاملThe Orbit of the Brown Dwarf Binary Gl 569 B
We present photometric, astrometric and spectroscopic observations of the nearby (9.8 pc) low-mass binary Gl 569Bab (in turn being a companion to the early-M star Gl 569A), made with the Keck adaptive optics facility. Having observed Gl 569Bab since August 1999, we are able to see orbital motion and to determine the orbital parameters of the pair. We find the orbital period to be 892 ± 25 days,...
متن کاملNew variants of the global Krylov type methods for linear systems with multiple right-hand sides arising in elliptic PDEs
In this paper, we present new variants of global bi-conjugate gradient (Gl-BiCG) and global bi-conjugate residual (Gl-BiCR) methods for solving nonsymmetric linear systems with multiple right-hand sides. These methods are based on global oblique projections of the initial residual onto a matrix Krylov subspace. It is shown that these new algorithms converge faster and more smoothly than the Gl-...
متن کاملGlobal least squares solution of matrix equation $sum_{j=1}^s A_jX_jB_j = E$
In this paper, an iterative method is proposed for solving matrix equation $sum_{j=1}^s A_jX_jB_j = E$. This method is based on the global least squares (GL-LSQR) method for solving the linear system of equations with the multiple right hand sides. For applying the GL-LSQR algorithm to solve the above matrix equation, a new linear operator, its adjoint and a new inner product are dened. It is p...
