A high - sensitivity OH 5 - cm line survey in late - type stars ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
We have undertaken a comprehensive search for 5-cm excited OH maser emission from evolved stars representative of various stages of late stellar evolution. Observed sources were selected from known 18-cm OH sources. This survey was conducted with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope to achieve high signal to noise ratio observations and a sensitivity limit of about 0.05 to 0.1 Jy. A total of 64 stellar sources were searched for both main line and satellite line emission. We confirm the previous detection of 5 cm OH in Vy 2-2, do not confirm emission from NML-Cyg and do not report any other new detection within the above sensitivity limit. Implications of these results on the pumping mechanism of the OH radical in circumstellar envelopes are briefly discussed.

We present 86 GHz (v = 1, J = 2 → 1) SiO maser line observations with the IRAM 30-m telescope of a sample of 441 late-type stars in the Inner Galaxy (−4 < l < +30). These stars were selected on basis of their infrared magnitudes and colours from the ISOGAL and MSX catalogues. SiO maser emission was detected in 271 sources, and their line-of-sight velocities indicate that the stars are located i...

We present preliminary results on the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre medium sensitivity survey, with 0.54.5 keV flux limit 2 × 10 erg cm s. At present, 19 fields have been examined with a total of 239 X-ray sources. Identifications for about 2/3 of these reveal that type 1 AGN dominate, but type 2 AGN, absorption-line galaxies and clusters as well as stars are also present. We also discuss on...

متن کاملThe Evolutionary Status of High-lithium, High-activity Cool Dwarfs
We have used the newly available Hipparcos parallaxes to study the evolutionary status of a number of high-lithium, high-activity late-type dwarfs found in X-ray based surveys, i.e. the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey and the Einstein Slew Survey. The sample stars are placed on evolutionary tracks thus estimating their age.

Using the Livermore X-ray Spectral Synthesizer, which calculates spectral models of highly charged ions based primarily on HULLAC atomic data, we investigate the temperature, density, and photoexcitation dependence of the I(11.92 Å)/I(11.77 Å) line ratio of Fe XXII. We find that this line ratio has a critical density nc ≈ 5× 10 cm, is approximately 0.3 at low densities and 1.5 at high densities...
