The Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (brava): I. Techniques and a Rotation Curve
We are undertaking a large scale radial velocity survey of the Galactic bulge which uses M giant stars selected from the 2MASS catalog as targets for the CTIO 4m Hydra multi-object spectrograph. The aim of this survey is to test dynamical models of the bulge and to quantify the importance, if any, of cold stellar streams in the bulge and its vicinity. Here we report on the kinematics of a strip...
متن کاملRebuilding the Cepheid Distance Scale I: A Global Analysis of Cepheid Mean Magnitudes
Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We develop a statistical method for using multicolor photometry to determine distances using Cepheid variables including the effects of temperature, extinction, and metallicity and apply it to UBVRIJHK photometry of 694 Cepheids in 17 galaxies. We derive homogeneous distance, extinction and uncertainty estimates for four models, starting from the standard extr...
متن کاملKeck Measurement of the Xte J2123–058 Radial Velocity Curve
We measured the radial velocity curve of the companion of the neutron star X-ray transient XTE J2123–058. Its semi-amplitude (K2) of 298.5±6.9 km s−1 is the highest value that has been measured for any neutron star LMXB. The high value for K2 is, in part, due to the high binary inclination of the system but may also indicate a high neutron star mass. The mass function ( f2) of 0.684± 0.047M⊙, a...
متن کاملThe Systemic Velocity of Eta Carinae
High-resolution spectra of molecular hydrogen in the Homunculus nebula allow for the first direct measurement of the systemic velocity of η Carinae. Near-infrared longslit data for H2 1-0 S(1) λ21218 obtained with the Phoenix spectrometer on the Gemini South telescope give Vsys=−8.1±1 km s −1 (heliocentric), or VLSR=−19.7±1 km s , from the average of the near and far sides of the Homunculus. Th...
متن کاملthe study of bright and surface discrete cavity solitons dynamics in saturable nonlinear media
امروزه سالیتون ها بعنوان امواج جایگزیده ای که تحت شرایط خاص بدون تغییر شکل در محیط منتشر می-شوند، زمینه مطالعات گسترده ای در حوزه اپتیک غیرخطی هستند. در این راستا توجه به پدیده پراش گسسته، که بعنوان عامل پهن شدگی باریکه نوری در آرایه ای از موجبرهای جفت شده، ظاهر می گردد، ضروری است، زیرا سالیتون های گسسته از خنثی شدن پراش گسسته در این سیستم ها بوسیله عوامل غیرخطی بوجود می آیند. گسستگی سیستم عامل...
