Cool WISPs for stellar cooling excesses
Several stellar systems (white dwarfs, red giants, horizontal branch stars and possibly the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A) show a mild preference for a non-standard cooling mechanism when compared with theoretical models. This exotic cooling could be provided by Weakly Interacting Slim Particles (WISPs), produced in the hot cores and abandoning the star unimpeded, contribut...
متن کاملA Search for Cool Subdwarfs: Stellar Parameters for 134 Candidates
The results of a search for cool subdwarfs are presented. Kinematic (U, V, and W) and stellar parameters (Teff , log g, [Fe/H], and ξt) are derived for 134 candidate subdwarfs based on high resolution spectra. The observed stars span 4200K < Teff < 6400K and −2.70 < [Fe/H] < 0.25 including only 8 giants (log g < 4.0). Of the sample, 100 stars have MgH bands present in their spectra. The targets...
متن کاملBinarity in Cool Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars: a Galex Search for Ultraviolet Excesses
The search for binarity in AGB stars is of critical importance for our understanding of how planetary nebulae acquire the dazzling variety of aspherical shapes which characterizes this class. However, detecting binary companions in such stars has been severely hampered due to their extreme luminosities and pulsations. We have carried out a small imaging survey of AGB stars in ultraviolet light ...
متن کاملThe Molecular Line Opacity of MgH in Cool Stellar Atmospheres
A new, complete, theoretical rotational and vibrational line list for the A 2 Π ← X 2 Σ + electronic transition in MgH is presented. The list includes transition energies and oscillator strengths for all possible allowed transitions and was computed using the best available theoretical potential energies and dipole transition moment function with the former adjusted to account for experimental ...
متن کاملTiO and H2O absorption lines in cool stellar atmospheres
Over the past decade, model atmospheres and synthetic spectra for late-type stars have improved hand-in-hand with higher quality opacities. In 1994, quality lists of transitions of the water vapor molecule based on ab initio molecular calculations became available (Miller et al. 1994; Schryber, Miller, & Tennyson 1995; Jørgensen, Jensen, & Sørensen 1994) which allowed the computation of the fir...
