چکیده
We report the discovery of the first known symbiotic star in IC10, a starburst galaxy belonging to the Local Group, at a distance of ∼750 kpc. The symbiotic star was identified during a survey of emission-line objects. It shines at V =24.62±0.04, V −RC=2.77±0.05 and RC−IC=2.39±0.02 and suffers from EB−V =0.85±0.05 reddening. The spectrum of the cool component well matches that of solar neighborhood M8III giants. The observed emission lines belong to Balmer series, [SII], [NII] and [OIII]. They suggest a low electronic density, negligible optical depth effects and 35,000<Teff<90,000 K for the ionizing source. The spectrum of the new symbiotic star in IC10 is an almost perfect copy of that of Hen 2-147, a well known Galactic symbiotic star and Mira.

The interacting two winds model and a spherical density distribution function are introduced to study the dynamical and ionization structure of the planetary nebula IC 418. A fast wind with a mechanical luminousity 2/34×1034erg.s-1 of interacts with a super wind with a mass-loss rate of 2×10-5M(°)yr-1 and a velocity of 10 , and produces a dense and luminous medium. In this model, the exp...
متن کاملThe Anti-Proliferative and Anti-Angiogenic Effect of the Methanol Extract from Brittle Star
Background: Anti-angiogenic therapy is a crucial step in cancer treatment. The discovery of new anti-angiogenic compounds from marine organisms has become an attractive concept in anti-cancer therapy. Because little data correlated to the pro- and anti-angiogenic efficacies of Ophiuroidea, which include brittle star, the current study was designed to explore the anti-angiogenic potential of bri...
متن کاملOn co-Farthest Points in Normed Linear Spaces
In this paper, we consider the concepts co-farthest points innormed linear spaces. At first, we define farthest points, farthest orthogonalityin normed linear spaces. Then we define co-farthest points, co-remotal sets,co-uniquely sets and co-farthest maps. We shall prove some theorems aboutco-farthest points, co-remotal sets. We obtain a necessary and coecient conditions...
متن کاملDiscovery of Young Stellar Objects at the Edge of the Optical Disk of Our Galaxy
We report a discovery of young stellar objects associated with a molecular cloud at the edge of the optical disk of our Galaxy. This cloud is denoted as Cloud 2 in the list by Digel et al. and it is one of the most distant molecular clouds from the Galactic center known to date, with a probable distance of 15–19 kpc. We found seven red near-infrared sources associated with this cloud. Based on ...
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
