The Meinunger “Nicht Rote” Objects

چکیده

Four high-latitude slow variable stars have been noted by Meinunger (1972) as “nicht rote” (“not red”) objects and thus curious. We have previously reported (Margon & Deutsch 1997) that one of these objects, CC Boo, is in fact a QSO. Here we present observations demonstrating that the remaining three are also highly variable active galactic nuclei. The most interesting object of the four is perhaps S 10765 (= NGP9 F324-0276706), which proves to be a resolved galaxy at z = 0.063. Despite the rapid and large reported variability amplitude (∆m ∼ 1.6 mag), the spectrum is that of a perfectly normal galaxy, with no emission lines or evident nonthermal continuum. We also present new spectroscopic and photometric observations for AR CVn, suggested by Meinunger to be an RR Lyrae star despite its very faint magnitude (=19.4). The object is indeed one of the most distant RR Lyrae stars known, at a galactocentric distance of ∼ 40 kpc.

Investigating the Effects of Rote and Contextualized Memorization on Iranian Elementary EFL Learners’ Vocabulary Development

It is obvious that vocabulary lies in the center of language learning and communication. This issue shows that vocabulary has a vital role in mastering all the skills of a language. Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) facilitate the process of learning lexical items. The present study investigated the role of two specific strategy types in vocabulary learning, including rote and contextualized...

The Impact of Rote Learning on Vocabulary Learning: The Case of Iranian EFL Learners with Visual and Auditory Learning Styles

This study aimed to explore the effect of rote learning (word list learning) on boosting visual and auditory learners' vocabulary retention. To this end, the Oxford Placement Test (2007) was administered, in order to identify the learners' proficiency level. Then 31 subjects who were studying at the Iran Language Institute (ILI) in Bushehr, Iran, and belonged to available sampling were singled ...

Threshold arrangements and the knapsack problem

We show that a combinatorial question which has been studied in connection with lower bounds for the knapsack problem by Brimkov and Dantchev (2001) is related to threshold graphs, threshold arrangements, and other well-studied combinatorial objects, and we correct an error in the analysis given in that paper.
