UV Radiation in Different Stellar Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied the UV radiation in the range 180 to 330 nm emitted by several stars with planetary systems, in order to determine the constraints on the habitable zones posed by the radiation levels. The observations were taken from the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) satellites database. The stellar sample was chosen to cover the range of what are usually called solartype stars, from late F to K stars. We found that the planets discovered around Epsilon Eridani and 16 Cyg B are within both the optical and UV habitable zones.

Stellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملReprocessed UV pulses from the binary companions of X-ray pulsars
A search for reprocessed X-rays causing UV pulsations in the companion stars to X-ray pulsars was carried out in a 200 Å wide bandpass centered at 1450 Å using the High Speed Photometer on theHubble Space Telescope.We observed the systems A0535+26 = HD245770, 4U0900-40 (Vela XR-1) = HD77581, A1118-61 = He3-640, and 4U1145-619 = HD102567. We confirm the existence of reprocessed X-rays reported i...
متن کاملThe UV spectrum of HS 1700 + 6416 I . Predicting the metal line content of the far UV spectrum
In preparation of a study of the He /H ratio towards the bright QSO HS 1700+6416, we predict the metal line content of the far-UV spectral range by modelling 18 metal absorption line systems with redshifts 0.2 < z < 2.6 identified in the spectrum of this quasar. For that purpose, we investigate the spectral energy distribution of the metagalactic ionizing radiation field. Simple photoioniza...
متن کاملUltraviolet Radiation Constraints around the Circumstellar Habitable Zones
Ultraviolet radiation is known to inhibit photosynthesis, induce DNA destruction and cause damage to a wide variety of proteins and lipids. In particular, UV radiation between 200-300 nm becomes energetically very damaging to most of the terrestrial biological systems. On the other hand, UV radiation is usually considered one of the most important energy source on the primitive Earth for the sy...

Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the main source of vitamin D production and is also the most important environmental risk factor for cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) development. In the present study the relationships between daily or seasonal UV radiation doses and vitamin D status, dietary vitamin D intake and CMM incidence rates at different geographical latitudes were investigated. No...
