چکیده

Different observation data for cool star—Procyon (Obs IDs of 63, 1461 and 1224) available from Chandra Data Public Archive were co-added and analyzed. Emissivities of emission lines of highly charged silicon ions (Si VII–Si XII) were calculated over temperatures by adopting the published data of Liang et al. (2007, Atom. Data and Nucl. Data Tables, 93, 375). Using the emission measure derived by Raassen et al. (2002, A&A, 389, 228), the theoretical line fluxes are predicted, and the theoretical spectra are constructed by assuming the Gaussian profile with instrumental broadening (0.06 Å ). By detailed comparison between observation and predictions, several emissions lines are identified firstly such as emissions at 43.663 Å (Si XI), 45.550 Å (Si XII), 46.179 Å (Si VIII), 50.874 Å (Si X), 64.668 Å (Si IX), and 73.189 Å (Si VII) etc. Several emission lines are re-assigned in this work, such as the emission line at 52.594 Å to Si X (52.612 Å ), at 69.641 Å to the blending of Si VII (69.632 Å ) and Si VIII (69.664 Å ) lines, as well as at 70.050 Å to Si VII (70.027 Å ). The prediction reveals the large discrepancies between the 3s–2p line (63.715 Å ) versus 3d–2p line (61.012 Å ) again for lower charge stage Si VIII. Solar flare observation is also added for the assessment of present calculation. Different assignments for some lines between Procyon and solar flare, have been found to be due to the hotter emitter in Sun than in Procyon coronae.

Soft X-ray emissions of Si IX in Procyon

An analysis of n = 3 → 2 transition lines of carbon-like silicon reveals that some ratios of line intensities are sensitive to the electron density. The ratio between two group of 3d → 2p transition lines at 55.246 Å and 55.346 Å is a good ne-diagnostic technique, due to its insensitivity to the electron temperature. Using this property, a lower limit of the density of 0.6×10cm is derived for P...

High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of 14 Cooling-flow Clusters of Galaxies Using the Reflection Grating Spectrometers on Xmm-newton

We present high resolution X-ray spectra of 14 coolingflow X-ray clusters and groups obtained with the Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RGS) on XMM-Newton. The spectra exhibit line emission from a number of Fe L charge states as well as O VIII, Mg XII, Ne X, Si XIV & XIII, N VII, and C VI. All spectra show a deficit of soft X-ray lines predicted from the isobaric multi-phase spectral model as ...

Line identification in soft X - ray spectra of stellar coronae by comparison with the hottest white dwarf ’ s photosphere : Procyon , α Cen A + B , and H 1504 + 65

H 1504+65 is a young white dwarf with an effective temperature of 200 000 K and is the hottest post-AGB star ever analysed with detailed model atmospheres. Chandra LETG+HRC-S spectra have revealed the richest X-ray absorption line spectrum recorded from a stellar photosphere to date. The line forming regions in this extremely hot photosphere produce many transitions in absorption that are also ...

بررسی فازی ترکیبات Mo + 2(1 - x) Si + 2xAl

X-ray powder diffraction data for Mo2.85Al1.91Si4.81 are presented here. The new Mo2.85Al1.91Si4.81 compound was successfully prepared, using the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique. The starting atomic mixture of reactant powders was Mo + 2(1 - x)Si + 2xAl with 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.5. The final powder compound obtained by the SHS technique was determined to be in x = 0.2; Mo(Si,...
