چکیده
Recent observations of the compact source embedded within the supernova remnant RCW 103 rekindle interest in the origin of this object’s emission. We contrast several models in which neutron-star cooling powers RCW 103. Specifically, either the presence of an accreted envelope or a sufficiently intense magnetic field can account for the X-ray emission from this object. Subject headings: stars: neutron — stars: magnetic fields — radiative transfer — X-rays: stars

We performed a spectroscopic study of the SB2 Mercury-Manganese star α And. Our measurements of the secondary’s radial velocities result in improved orbital elements. The secondary shows abundances typical of the metallic-line stars: a Ca deficiency, small overabundances of the iron-peak elements, and 1.0 dex overabundances of Sr and Ba.

The comparison of the observed and computed energy distributions of β CrB has shown that a model with the specific chemical composition of the star can account for the visual enery distribution, while it is still unable to reproduce ultraviolet observations shortward of 1700Å. Furthermore, the predicted absorption of strong Fe ii and Mg ii UV lines is much larger than the observed one.

We consider the nature of the elusive neutron star candidate 1E 161348−5055 using X-ray observations obtained with the ASCA Observatory. The compact X-ray source is centered on the shell-type Galactic supernova remnant RCW 103 and has been interpreted as a cooling neutron star associated with the remnant. The X-ray spectrum of the remnant shell can be characterized by a non-equilibrium ionizati...

In order to clarify the role of the magnetic field in generating abundance inhomogeneities in the atmospheres of Ap stars, we present new abundance Doppler images and an approximate magnetic field geometry for the Ap star ι Cas.
