چکیده
Slowly rotating collapsing spherical shells have flat spaces inside and the inertial frames there rotate at ω s (t) relative to infinity. As first shown by Lindblom & Brill the inertial axes within the shell rotate rigidly without time delays from one point to another. Although the rotation rate of the inertial axes is changing the axes are inertial so, relative to them, there is neither an ˙ ω s × r (Euler) fictitious force nor any other. However, Euler and other fictitious forces arise in the frame which is at rest with respect to infinity. An observer at the center who looks in one direction (φ = 0, θ = π 2 say) fixed to infinity will see that the sky appears to rotate and can compare its apparent rotation with those of the local inertial frame and of the shell itself. By contrast in the electromagnetic analogue there is a time delay in the propagation of the magnetic field inside a rotating collapsing charged shell in flat space. We demonstrate this time delay by devising a null experiment in which the Larmor precession of a charged oscillator would be exactly cancelled by the rotation of the inertial frame but for the delay. 1 In the " combined " problem of a collapsing charged shell we show that, due to the coupling of electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations , the instantaneous rotation of inertial frames inside the shell can be caused by pure electric currents in a non-rotating shell.

Preliminary results from a study of the isotopic compositions of the elements Hg and Pt in a number of HgMn stars are presented. This work represents an improvement over previous studies thanks to the very high spectral resolution available (R = 118 000) and to the new information on wavelengths and atomic structure of Hg II and Pt II.

We present a discussion on the effects of convection on the uvby colours of A and F stars. The mixing-length theory used in ATLAS9 is compared to the turbulent convection theory of Canuto & Mazzitelli (1991, 1992). Comparison with fundamental stars reveals that colours calculated using the Canuto & Mazzitelli convection theory are generally in better agreement than those obtained using mixing-l...

In this article the current knowledge of the group of λ Bootis stars is reviewed. These metal poor objects are quite outstanding compared to other chemically peculiar stars of the upper main sequence. Up to now no theory has been developed which is able to explain the majority of observational results. This article is mainly focused on the work which needs to be done in the future in order to c...

We present an abundance analysis of light elements in He-rich stars. The analysis is based on both low and high resolution observations collected at ESO, La Silla, Chile in the optical region and includes 6 standards and 21 He-rich stars. Light-element abundances display a diverse pattern: they range from under-solar up to above-solar values.
