The interacting binary V 393 Scorpii: another clue for Double Periodic Variables

Leukocyturia, another clue to inflammation in acute coronary syndrome

Introduction: Cronary artery disease is the main cause of mortality in developed countries. Classic risk factors have not been able to explain epidemiologic variants in this disease, hence other risk factors including systemic infections are under survey. This study was designed to evaluate the possible role of local and systemic infections in producing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: ...

The Orbit of the Binary Star Delta Scorpii

Although δ Sco is a bright and well-studied star, the details of its multiplicity have remained unclear. Here we present the first diffractionlimited image of this 0. ′′12 binary star, made using optical interferometry, and resolve the confusion that has existed in the literature over its multi-

CE - 315 : A New Interacting Double - degenerate Binary Star

We present spectroscopic observations of object CE-315 revealing a blue continuum with strong emission lines. Most of the detected lines are identified with He I or He II in emission with a handful of faint lines of nitrogen. Notable is the complete absence of hydrogen lines. The He lines exhibit triple-peaked profiles with remarkably broad widths, of ∼2000 km s (FWZP). The observations show th...

Near - Infrared Studies of V 1280 Sco ( Nova Scorpii 2007 )

We present spectroscopic and photometric results of Nova V1280 Sco which was discovered in outburst in early 2007 February. The large number of spectra obtained of the object leads to one of the most extensive, near-infrared spectral studies of a classical nova. The spectra evolve from a P-Cygni phase to an emission-line phase and at a later stage is dominated by emission from the dust that for...

Mid-dermal elastolysis: another dermatological clue to autoimmunity?
