    The ultraviolet spectra of M31 globular clusters (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Ultraviolet spectra of 11 of the brightest globular clusters in M31 show that some exhibit residual flux below 3000 A, greater than that expected from the bright, evolved stars in the cluster. There seems to be no apparent correlation of the strength of this ultraviolet flux with parameters such as metallicity, U-B color, visual magnitude, X-ray emission, or location within the parent galaxy. However, comparison of the ultraviolet colors of the M31 globular clusters with those in the Galaxy and in the Large Magellanic Cloud suggests that the M31 clusters may contain a high percentage of blue horizontal-branch stars or that some clusters could be as young as about 2 x 10 to the 9th yr.

    Optical and UV spectroscopy of the black hole binary candidate LMC X-1 (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Both further optical spectroscopy of the binary star identified with LMC X-1, obtained between 1983 and 1985, and a series of IUE UV spectra taken during a 5 day interval in 1984 are presented. The optical data are used to refine the orbital period to 4.2288 days, and improved orbital parameters are derived. The velocity of the optical emission lines is antiphased with the absorption lines and has twice the velocity amplitude. These new results support the estimates of the masses in the system given earlier. The most probable component masses are approximately 20 solar masses for the primary and near 6 solar masses (for the x-ray star), suggesting the the latter may be a black hole. The UV spectra show very weak, low-velocity stellar-wind lines. It is suggested that much of the surrounding medium is highly ionized by the X-ray flux. The 'nonwind' UV spectral lines and the UV continuum temperature are consistent with the optical data, indicating a late O type star of M(bol) = -8.5. There is a weak modulation of absorption-line strengths with orbital phase, suggestive of a lack of axisymmetry in the X-irradiation of the primary star and indicative of a fairly low orbital inclination.

    In-situ observations of cometary pick-up ions greater than 0.2 AU upstream of Comet Halley - ICE observations (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Burst-like enhancements of energetic ions were observed by the EPAS instrument on the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) during its closest approach to (28 x 10 to the 6th km upstream of) Comet P/Halley, in late March 1986. The ion intensity was modulated by the varying solar wind speed (the latter reaching maxima of around 600 km/s), as was found to be the case for heavy cometary ions accelerated by pick-up in the solar wind flow, during the ICE encounter with Comet P/Giacobini-Zinner (G-Z). Therefore it is concluded that the observed pick-up ions (most probably greater than or equal to 65 keV oxygen ions) are produced by heavy neutrals from Comet Halley. The observations of energetic ions at such large distances suggest the presence, in the neutral atmosphere surrounding the nucleus, of a component with an ionization scale length of 5-10 million km, resulting from a relatively high expansion speed of a few km/s and/or an ionization time scale of a few times 10 to the 6ths.

    Observations of the interactions of heavy ions from Comet P/Giacobini-Zinner with the solar wind (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: During the encounter between the ICE spacecraft and Comet Giacobini-Zinner, intense fluxes of energetic heavy ions were observed up to 4 x 10 to the 6th km from the comet. In this paper the authors correlated observations of heavy ions, the solar wind velocity and the magnetic field direction, and compare the observations of the ions with the theoretical predictions for their variations with distance from the comet, wih the solar wind velocity and with the magnetic field direction.

    Gyroradius effects on the energetic ions in the tail lobes of Comet P/Giacobini-Zinner (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: It is reported that during the ICE fly-by of comet P/Giacobini-Zinner, a depletion was seen in the energetic ion intensities (E greater than 65 keV for 'water group' ions) extending to about 40 min on either side of the time of closest approach (1102 UT on September 11, 1985). It is demonstrated that the physical size of this hole is a few ion gyroradii (about 1.5 x 10 to the 4 km). Angular analysis of the ion distributions in the 'gyroradius region' can distinguish those ions whose gyromotion is entirely in one comet lobe from those that cross the current sheet into the other lobe. In the central tail within a few minutes of closest approach, the single-lobe ions exhibit high intensities and little pitch angle dependence, whereas the ions crossing the current sheet have lower intensities and are streaming along the magnetic field away from the comet. The derived density gradients are used to determine the orientation of the current sheet at closest approach, as 44 degrees east of north.

    Time-resolved UV spectroscopy of BE Ursae Majoris (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Far-ultraviolet spectra have been obtained of the eclipsing, hot subdwarf binary, BE UMa, with phase coverage in the 2.3-day orbital period concentrated near minimum light. No clearly phase-related spectra changes were found, but the UV continuum appeared to be in a highly variable state, with changes of a factor of two occurring on a time scale of hours. The hot star in this system may be one of the few known PG1159-035 variables, which show nonradial pulsations. If so, this is the first such star known in a binary system and thus should be important for determining the physical properties of these stars.

    Plasma wave, magnetic field and energetic ion observations in the ion pick-up region of Comet Giacobini-Zinner (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Simultaneous plasma wave, magnetic field, and energetic ion observations made by the ICE spacecraft in the extended ion pick-up region surrounding comet Giacobini-Zinner are examined to determine the conditions under which two characteristic wave emissions, electrostatic waves at a few kHz, and electromagnetic waves at a few tens of Hz, are generated. The data are consistent with the view that the kHz electrostatic emissions result from an instability of the pick-up photoelectron 'beam' produced when the angle alpha between the magnetic field and the solar wind velocity vector is less than about 60 deg, while the behavior of the tens of Hz electromagnetic waves suggests that they are generated by the pick-up ion 'ring' which is present when alpha exceeds about 60 deg.

    ISEE 3 observations during the CDAW 8 intervals - Case studies of the distant geomagnetic tail covering a wide range of geomagnetic activity (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Observations made by the ISEE 3 spacecraft in the distant geomagnetic tail during the eight CDAW 8 intervals are discussed, along with their relation to concurrent geomagnetic activity. This extensive multiinstrument case study of distant tail data covers a wide range of geomagnetic conditions from extended intervals of magnetic quiet with isolated substorms to prolonged periods of intense disturbance. Plasmoids are observed in the distant tail following disturbance enhancements, the time of their appearance being generally consistent with disconnection from the near-earth region at the time of the enhancement. Their structure is entirely consistent with the neutral line model. However, not all enhancements in geomagnetic activity result in the observation of plasmoids. In particular, the CDAW 8 data suggest that, during extended intervals of strong activity, a continuous neutral line may reside in the near-earth tail and some disturbance enhancements may then relate to an increase in the reconnection rate at a preexisting neutral line, rather than to new neutral line and plasmoid formation.

    Generation of Tollmien-Schlichting waves on interactive marginally separated flows (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: This paper is concerned with the interaction of very-long-wavelength free-stream disturbances with the small but abrupt changes in the mean flow that occur near the minimum-skin-friction point in an interactive marginally separated boundary layer. The source frequency is chosen so that the eigensolutions with that frequency have an 'interactive' structure in the region of marginal separation. The eigensolution wavelength scale must then differ from the lengthscale of the marginal separation, and a composite expansion technique has to be used to obtain the solution. The initial instability wave amplitude turns out to be exponentially small, but eventually dominates the original disturbance owing to its exponential growth. It then begins to decay but ultimately turns into a standard spatially growing Tollmien-Schlichting wave much further downstream.

    Cool magnetic CP stars (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The paper reviews progress in research on the cool magnetic CP stars especially during the past four years. Studies of energy distributions and abundances are analyzed to reveal their systematics. Model atmospheres do not yet accurately describe the average energy distributions much less the variability with the rotational periods of these stars.
