The Puppis OB III association: polarization measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical linear polarization measurements of association members and field stars in the region of the Puppis OB III association are presented. The association members are found to have larger values of polarization than the field stars.In the direction of the association there are two regions of polarizing interstellar medium with magnetic fields that are nearly at right angles to each other. The observed ratio of polarization to reddening for stars in this direction is about a factor of 3 smaller than the mean interstellar value indicating either a very poor efficiency of dust grain alignment, or a magnetic field configuration that is predominantly longitudinal.

Bright OB stars distribution in the region Canis Major
The picture of galactic structure in the Canis Major-Puppis-Vela (215 o < l < 275 o) section of the Milky Way is studied and updated via uvby photometry of OB luminous stars (LS). We use all data from the literature to create a magnitude-limited sample of 98 % completeness to 9.5 mag. Our sample contains 270 LS stars with uvby pho-tometry, 219 of them classiied as OB-type. With the help of the ...
متن کاملX-ray Emission Line Profile Modeling of O stars: Fitting a Spherically-Symmetric Analytic Wind-Shock Model to the Chandra Spectrum of ζ Puppis
X-ray emission line profiles provide the most direct insight into the dynamics and spatial distribution of the hot, X-ray-emitting plasma above the surfaces of OB stars. The O supergiant ζ Puppis shows broad, blueshifted, and asymmetric line profiles, generally consistent with the wind-shock picture. We model the profiles of eight lines in the Chandra HETGS spectrum of this prototypical hot sta...

متن کاملModeling O-Star X-Ray Emission-Line Profiles
X-ray emission from hot (Oand B-type) stars is a long-standing astrophysical puzzle. High-resolution x-ray spectroscopy of hot stars resolves emission line profile shapes, offering direct insight into the dynamics and spatial distribution of the x-ray-emitting plasma. The O supergiant ζ Puppis shows broad, blueshifted, and asymmetric line profiles, generally consistent with the wind-shock pictu...

In this paper, the effect of penicillin G benzathine (PGB) drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The inhibition efficiency (IE) was found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. Potentiodynamic polarization measure...
