The Emergent Flux and Effective Temperature of δ Canis Majoris
نویسندگان
چکیده
New angular diameter determinations for the bright southern F8 supergiant δ CMa enable the bolometric emergent flux and effective temperature of the star to be determined with improved accuracy. The spectral flux distribution and bolometric flux have been determined from published photometry and spectrophotometry and combined with the angular diameter to derive the bolometric emergent flux F = (6.50 ± 0.24) × 10 Wm and the effective temperature Teff = 5818 ± 53K. The new value for the effective temperature is compared with previous interferometric and infrared flux method determinations. The accuracy of the effective temperature is now limited by the uncertainty in the bolometric flux rather than by the uncertainty in the angular diameter.

The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of Ag nanoparticles as the flux pinning centers. Ag nanoparticles with different particle sizes from 30 to 1000 nm were prepared through the chemical reduction of AgNO3 in an alcohol solution. Then, samples of YBa2Cu3O7-δ superconductors were doped by 1 and 2 weight percentage of Ag nanoparticles with different sizes. Samples were charac...
متن کاملVY Canis Majoris: The Astrophysical Basis of Its Luminosity
The luminosity of the famous red supergiant VY CMa ( L ∼ 4− 5× 105L⊙) is well-determined from its spectral energy distribution and distance, and places it near the empirical upper luminosity limit for cool hypergiants. In contrast, its surface temperature is fundamentally ill-defined. Both contradict a recent paper by Massey, Levesque and Plez (2006). Implications for its location on the HR Dia...

We present optical spectroscopy of the dwarf nova HL Canis Majoris over a span of four years. The observations were made during standstill, outburst, and quiescence. We determine an orbital period of 0.2167867 ± 0.0000017 days, based on radial velocities determined from Hα, Hβ, and HeI λ 5876 emission. We also present equivalent widths of the spectral features in outburst and in quiescence. Sub...

We report on extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectroscopic observations of the B bright giant ǫ Canis Majoris made during the ORFEUS-SPAS II mission. We assess the performance of the instrument in the EUV and find that the effective area is roughly 3 times that of the Extreme-Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) long-wavelength spectrometer and that the spectral resolution is λ/∆λ ≈ 1250. We identify most of ...
متن کاملAn asteroseismic study of the β Cephei star β Canis Majoris
We present a spectroscopic study of the β Cephei star β Canis Majoris. Hundreds of highresolution spectra were gathered during 4.5 years and the Si III line profiles centered on 4560 Å were subjected to a detailed line profile analysis. We searched for oscillation frequencies in different line diagnostics, compared them with those known from photometric studies and concluded the presence of thr...
