چکیده
Schwartz 82 (IM Lupi; HBC 605; IRAS 15528-3747) is an M0 T Tauri star located within the Lupus star forming clouds at a distance of ∼190 pc (Wichmann et al. 1998). It is one of four young stellar objects in a small CO(1-0) core near the extreme T Tauri star RU Lupi (Tachihara et al. 1996). Unlike its more famous neighbor, Sz 82 displays only a modest amount of emission-line activity, with an Hα equivalent width which is known to vary from 7.5 21.5 aA (Batalha & Basri 1993). A detailed study of Hα emission in this star by Reipurth et al. (1996) concluded that the Hα feature shows an inverse P Cygni pro£le with evidence for infall. The relatively weak emission lines and lack of optical veiling caused Finkenzeller & Basri (1987) and Martin et al. (1994) to classify this object as a weak-line T Tauri star, although it is more properly catagorized as a borderline classical T Tauri star. The V-band linear polarization of Sz 82 is low, 0.5%± 0.1% at a position angle of 1 (Bastien 1985). The star is an irregular variable (Batalha et al. 1998), and has been observed to ¤are dramatically in the U band (Gahm et al. 1993). Hipparcos observations suggested a companion with a separation of only 0.4 arcsec (Wichmann et al. 1998); however, neither nearIR speckle observations (Ghez et al. 1997) nor the current HST observations con£rm the presence of a close companion. Ages for this system range from 10 yr to 10 yr (Hughes et al. 1994), depending on the pre-main sequence evolutionary track used. Sz 82 is not associated with any known optical or molecular out¤ow, although HH 55 is located nearby.

Hubble Space Telescope STIS Observations of the Accreting White Dwarfs in BWScl, BCUMa and SWUMa
We have observed the short-period dwarf novae BWScl, BCUMa and SWUMa using the Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. In all three systems, the white dwarf is the dominant source of farultraviolet flux, even though in BCUMa and SWUMa an additional continuum component contributes ∼ 10% and ∼ 20% of the 1400 Å flux, respectively. Fitting the data with detailed white dwarf mo...

Bimodal globular cluster metallicity distributions have now been seen in a handful of large ellipticals. Here we report the discovery of a bimodal distribution in the dominant group elliptical NGC 5846, using the Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). The two peaks are located at V–I = 0.96 and 1.17, which roughly correspond to metallicities of [Fe/H] = –1.2 and –0....
متن کاملPulsating red giant and supergiant stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...

The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) is a versatile, general purpose instrument installed aboard the Hubble Space Telescope in February, 1997. During the following Servicing Mission Orbital Verification (SMOV) period, STIS has been made operational and aligned, and initial checkout and calibration completed. The overall optical performance goals have largely been achieved and a summa...

The planetary nebula M94–20 in the Large Magellanic Cloud was serendipitously observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the Hubble Space Telescope Archival Pure Parallel Program. We present spatially resolved imaging and spectral data of the nebula and compare them with ground based data, including detection of several emission lines f...
متن کاملSeasonal change in Titan’s haze 1992–2002 from Hubble Space Telescope observations
[1] Images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) document the seasonal migration of haze in Titan’s atmosphere. Image profiles show darkening of the north relative to the south at 439 nm (blue) but no change at 619 nm. The limb profile at 889 nm has inverted, becoming north-bright, a variation consistent with haze transport towards the winter hemisphere by winds. The complex altitude-time varia...
