Astronomy and Astrophysics the Radial Pulsation of Ai Aurigae

چکیده
We present an analysis of eleven years of Strömgren by photometry of the red semiregular variable star AI Aurigae. An early period determination of 63.9 days is confirmed by the long-term light curve behaviour. The light curve shows semi-regular changes with a mean period of 65 days reaching an amplitude of 0. m 6 in some cycles. The b − y colour changes perfectly parallel the V light curve, suggesting radial oscillation to be the main reason for the observed variations. We estimate the main characteristics of the star (mass, radius, effective temperature) that suggest radial pulsation in fundamental or first overtone mode.

Complicated pulsation in the δ Scuti variable 59 Aurigae
Eight-night photoelectric photometric observations through v and y bands confirm the complicated pulsation of δ Scuti variable 59 Aurigae. Power spectra of light curves show multi-period pulsation behavior, and eight pulsation frequencies f1=6.8283, f2=6.3179, f3=5.0074, f4=5.9535, f5=4.3285, f6=5.6854, f7=9.0206 and f8=8.6260 cycles per day are identified. After subtraction of the best eight f...
متن کاملAstronomy and Astrophysics the Δ Scuti Star Fg Vir. Iv. Mode Identifications and Pulsation Modelling
This paper examines the mode identification and presents pulsation models for FG Vir, for which 24 frequencies have been detected. Histograms of the frequency spacings show peaks which are identified with adjacent radial orders and rotational splitting. Pulsational l values are deduced for eight modes by comparing the observed photometric phase lags between v and y variations with calculated va...
متن کاملAurigae: strong evidence for non-radial pulsations
We present further photometric observations of the unusual F0 V star 9 Aurigae and present evidence that this star’s radial velocity, spectroscopic line widths and line depths are also variable with the same frequencies as the photometric data (f1 ≈ 0.795 and f2 ≈ 0.345 d ). The phases of these sinusoids are stable over time scales of longer than one year, though the amplitudes can vary, making...

The damages and logical failures in dierent parts of a satellite may occur during a solar event, when a bulk of solar energetic particles approaching the Earth. During solar events, these particles may cause extensive damages which are even permanent (hard errors). A way of damage reduction is designing a proper coating as the fuselage. As protons are the major component of solar particles and ...
