N ov 2 00 7 M 31 N - 2007 - 06 b : A Nova in the M 31 Globular Cluster Bol 111
نویسنده
چکیده
We report spectroscopic observations of the nova M31N-2007-06b, which was found to be spatially coincident with the M31 globular cluster Bol 111. This nova is the first out of more than 700 discovered in M31 over the past century to be associated with one of the galaxy’s globular clusters. A total of three spectra of the nova were obtained 3, 6, and 36 days post discovery. The data reveal broad (FWHM∼ 3000 km s) Balmer, NII, and NIII emission lines, and show that the nova belongs to the He/N spectroscopic class. The He/N class of novae are relatively rare, making up roughly 15% of the novae with measured spectra in M31, and roughly 20-25% of the Galactic novae for which spectroscopic data are available. The implications of a nova, particularly an He/N nova, occurring in a globular cluster are discussed.

A velocity dispersion has been measured for the luminous globular cluster M31 037–B327, claimed to be the most massive star cluster in the Local Group and to be a young “super star cluster” that has survived to an old age. M31 037– B327 has a mass comparable to that of M31 G1, but not significantly larger. Although near the upper end for the mass distribution of globular clusters, it is not an ...

We report the determination of high-accuracy radial velocities for 299 members of the globular cluster M92 using the Hydra multi-object spectrograph on the WIYN telescope. We have concentrated on stars outside of the central region of the cluster, located up to 14. ′ 4 from the cluster center. Candidate members were selected for spectroscopy based on a photometric metallicity index determined f...

The moduli space of G-bundles on an elliptic curve with additional flag structure admits a Poisson structure. The bivector can be defined using double loop group, loop group and sheaf cohomology constructions. We investigate the links between these methods and for the case SL2 perform explicit computations, describing the bracket and its leaves in detail.

We describe the pion electroproduction processes in the ∆(1232)-resonance region within the framework of chiral effective-field theory. By studying the observables of pion electroproduction in a next-to-leading order calculation we are able to make predictions and draw conclusions on the properties of the N → ∆ electromagnetic form factors.

There is a constant C 0 such that all nonabelian finite simple groups of rank n over Fq, with the possible exception of the Ree groups 2 G 2 (3 2e+1), have presentations with at most C 0 generators and relations and total length at most C 0 (log n + log q). As a corollary, we deduce a conjecture of Holt: there is a constant C such that dim H 2 (G, M) ≤ C dim M for every finite simple group G, e...
