چکیده

Our observations with the ISO SWS revealed that H2O band at 2.7μm appears as absorption already in an M2 giant β Peg and strengthens towards later M giants. Further, CO2 4.2μm band appears as absorption in an M7 giant SWVir and especially strong in a Mira variable SVir. The excitation temperatures of these molecular bands estimated from their band shapes turn out to be 750 – 1,250K in M giants as well as in a Mira variable. Absorption features of CO and SiO at 4μm region appear to be weaker in cooler M giants and almost disappear in SVir (Mira), suggesting filling in by the emission of CO and SiO themselves. The absorption and/or emission may be produced in a rather warm molecule forming region above the photosphere. This molecular envelope should be related to the quasi-static molecular zone previously suggested from the high resolution FTS spectra of CO in the near IR.

Letter to the Editor Detection of warm SO2 gas in oxygen-rich AGB stars

We report the discovery of the ν3 band of SO2 at 7.3 μm in the ISO/SWS spectra of oxygen-rich AGB stars. The band is clearly detected in three stars, UX Cyg, o Cet and T Cep, and marginally detected in at least four other stars. The band is seen in absorption in UX Cyg, while it is in emission in o Cet. Seven spectra of T Cep taken at different phases show that the feature changes from emission...

Improvement of Die Corner Filling of Stepped Tubes Using Warm Hybrid Forming

Aluminum and magnesium alloys are of materials for decreasing vehicle weight and consequently reducing fuel consumption. However, forming limitations regarding their low formability at room temperature are found when being manufactured by conventional forming processes. For this reason, development of new forming techniques, such as warm tube hydroforming, is needed to overcome such limitations...

Treatment of COVID-19 patients using plasma therapy: Letter to Editor

The symptoms of COVID-19, caused by the newly known type of coronavirus, vary widely from asymptomatic, mild to severe respiratory infection leading to hospitalization or death of patients. To date, no specific drug has been reported for the treatment of patients affected by this virus. One of the approaches adopted for the treatment of this disease is the use of plasma therapy, which contains ...
