Baltic Astronomy, vol. 25, 384–392, 2016 HIDDEN POPULATION OF ALGOLS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of Monte Carlo simulation aiming to estimate the frequency of semi-detached Algol-type binaries among the stars observed as single. When an account is taken of various detection biases (mostly due to inclination of orbits), the fraction of Algols among the Galactic disk stars appears to be 0.1–0.2%. However, this number should be regarded as a lower limit only, since there are still unaccounted-for selection effects and other types of photometrically unresolved binaries. Hidden binarity appears to be an important phenomenon that should be taken into account when considering stellar statistics and constructing the fundamental relations between stellar parameters.

High-precision measurements of radial velocities of the M67 cluster members are used to calculate the radial-velocity dispersions in the stellar groups found earlier in the cluster’s corona. The previously detected feature in one of the groups (Group 60) consisting of stars with almost identical space velocities was confirmed. The possibility of more accurate future studies of the parameters of...

We present a review of open-source data for stellar spectroscopy investigations. It includes lists of the main archives of medium-to-high resolution spectroscopic observations, with brief characteristics of the archive data (spectral range, resolving power, flux units). We also review atomic and molecular databases that contain parameters of spectral lines, cross-sections and reaction rates nee...

It is shown that in the duration-hardness plane the GRBs of the third intermediate subgroup are well defined. Their durations are intermediate (i.e. roughly between 2 and 10 seconds), but their hardnesses are the smallest. They are even softer than the long bursts.

Equivalent widths of spectral lines in the optical spectra of galaxies are commonly used to characterize their stellar populations and to get some insight on their evolution. Here we describe a new method to measure automatically equivalent widths of spectral lines with a good accuracy. This makes possible to classify galaxies according to the presence/absence and intensity of [O II] and Hδ lin...

The article describes microwave observations of the Sun with the radio telescope RT-32 of the Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Center. The observations were performed using a multichannel spectral polarimeter for the 6.3–9.4 GHz frequency range. A set of 2D microwave emission maps of the Sun for the Stokes I and V parameters has been obtained and analyzed.
