Binary, Pulsating, and Irregular Variables Among Planetary Nuclei

sdB+WD binary with a pulsating subdwarf

The recently discovered subdwarf B (sdB) pulsator KIC 11558725 is one of the 16 pulsating sdB stars detected in the Kepler field. It features a rich g-mode frequency spectrum, with a few low-amplitude p-modes at short periods. This makes it a promising target for a seismic study aiming to constrain the internal structure of this star, and of sdB stars in general. We have obtained ground-based s...

Binary Variables and Mechanistic Codes

In response to the transition by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to a risk-informed, performance-based fire protection rulemaking standard, Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methods have been improved, particularly in the areas of advanced fire modeling and computational methods. As the methods for the quantification of fire risk are improved, the methods for the qu...

γ Doradus Stars: Defining a New Class of Pulsating Variables

In this paper we describe a new class of pulsating stars, the prototype of which is the bright, early, F-type dwarf, γ Doradus. These stars typically have between 1 and 5 periods ranging from 0.4 to 3 days with photometric amplitudes up to 0. 1 in Johnson V . The mechanism for these observed variations is high-order, low-degree, non-radial, gravity-mode pulsation. Subject headings: Stars: varia...

Binary Subdivision Schemes for Functionsover Irregular Knot

For a wide class of stationary subdivision methods, we derive necessary and suucient conditions for these schemes to produce C k continuous limit curves. These stationary schemes include those arising from midpoint subdivision of irregularly-spaced knot sequences. We also describe a matrix method for computing various derivative schemes associated with such stationary schemes. x1. Introduction ...
