- Description:
- Extensive optical and infrared photometry as well as low and high resolution spectroscopy are used as inputs in deriving robust estimates of the reddening, distance and nature of the progenitor of V838 Mon, the 2002 outbursting event that produced a most spectacular light-echo.

- Description:
- We present optical observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN) 2019ein, starting two days after the estimated explosion date. The spectra and light curves show that SN 2019ein belongs to a high-velocity (HV) and broad-line group with a relatively rapid decline in the light curves ({Delta}m_15_(B)=1.36+/-0.02mag) and a short rise time (15.37+/-0.55days). The SiII{lambda}6355 velocity, associated with a photospheric component but not with a detached high-velocity feature, reached ~20000km/s 12 days before the B-band maximum. The line velocity, however, decreased very rapidly and smoothly toward maximum light, to ~13000km/s, which is relatively low among HV SNe. This indicates that the speed of the spectral evolution of HV SNe Ia is correlated with not only the velocity at maximum light, but also the light-curve decline rate, as is the case for normal-velocity (NV) SNeIa. Spectral synthesis modeling shows that the outermost layer at >17000km/s is well described by an O-Ne-C burning layer extending to at least 25000km/s, and there is no unburnt carbon below 30000km/s; these properties are largely consistent with the delayed detonation scenario and are shared with the prototypical HV SN 2002bo despite the large difference in {Delta}m_15_(B). This structure is strikingly different from that derived for the well-studied NV SN 2011fe. We suggest that the relation between the mass of ^56^Ni (or {Delta}m_15_) and the extent of the O-Ne-C burning layer provides an important constraint on the explosion mechanism(s) of HV and NV SNe.

- Description:
- AG Peg is known as the slowest symbiotic nova, which experienced its nova-like outburst around 1850. After 165 years, during June of 2015, it erupted again showing characteristics of the Z And-type outburst. The primary objective is to determine basic characteristics, the nature and type of the 2015 outburst of AG Peg. We achieved this aim by modelling the spectral energy distribution using low-resolution spectroscopy (330-750nm), medium-resolution spectroscopy (420-720nm; R=11000), and UBVR_C_I_C_ photometry covering the 2015 outburst with a high cadence. Optical observations were complemented with the archival HST and FUSE spectra from the preceding quiescence. During the outburst, the luminosity of the hot component was in the range of 2-11x10^37^(d/0.8kpc})^2^erg/s. To generate the maximum luminosity the white dwarf (WD) had to accrete at ~3x10^-7^M_{sun}/yr, which exceeds the stable-burning limit and thus led to blowing optically thick wind from the WD. We determined its mass-loss rate to a few x10^-6^M_{sun}/yr. At the high temperature of the ionising source, 1.5-2.3x10^5^K, the wind converted a fraction of the WD's photospheric radiation into the nebular emission that dominated the optical. A one order of magnitude increase of the emission measure, from a few x10^59^(d/0.8kpc)^2^/cm^3^ during quiescence, to a few x10^60^(d/0.8kpc)^2^/cm^3^ during the outburst, caused a 2mag brightening in the LC, which is classified as the Z And-type of the outburst. The very high nebular emission and the presence of a disk-like HI region encompassing the WD, as indicated by a significant broadening and high flux of the Raman-scattered OVI 6825{AA} line during the outburst, is consistent with the ionisation structure of hot components in symbiotic stars during active phases.

- Description:
- Table 2 presents standard broad band U, B, V, R photoelectric photometry of AX Persei. Each value represents the average of the observations during a night. The uncertainty of these night-means is of a few x 0.001mag in the B, V and R bands, and up to 0.02mag in the U band. Table 3 presents observed spectrophotometric parameters of the spectrum: the line fluxes, fluxes in the local continuum and the radial velocities.

- Description:
- We have undertaken a spectroscopic search for ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the dense core of the dynamically evolved, massive Coma cluster as part of the Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys (HST/ACS) Coma Cluster Treasury Survey. UCD candidates were initially chosen based on color, magnitude, degree of resolution within the ACS images, and the known properties of Fornax and Virgo UCDs. Follow-up spectroscopy with Keck/Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer confirmed 27 candidates as members of the Coma cluster, a success rate >60% for targeted objects brighter than M_R_=-12. Another 14 candidates may also prove to be Coma members, but low signal-to-noise spectra prevent definitive conclusions.

- UCSD/Keck Damped Ly{alpha} Abundance Database

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We publish the Keck/HIRES and Keck/ESI spectra that we have obtained during the first 10 years of Keck observatory operations. Our full sample includes 42 HIRES spectra and 39 ESI spectra along 65 unique sight lines providing abundance measurements on about 85 DLA systems. The normalized data can be downloaded from the journal or from our supporting Web site. The database includes all of the sight lines that have been included in our papers on the chemical abundances, kinematics, and metallicities of the damped Ly{alpha} systems. This data has also been used to argue for variations in the fine-structure constant. We present new chemical abundance measurements for 10 damped Ly{alpha} systems and a summary table of high-resolution metallicity measurements (including values from the literature) for 153 damped Ly{alpha} systems at z>1.6. We caution, however, that this metallicity sample (and all previous ones) is biased to higher N_HI_ values than a random sample.

- Description:
- We present a phase-resolved spectroscopic study of the secondary star in the cataclysmic variable (CV) U Gem. We use our data to measure the radial velocity semi-amplitude, systemic velocity and rotational velocity of the secondary star. Combining this with literature data allows us to determine masses and radii for both the secondary star and white dwarf, which are independent of any assumptions about their structure. We use these to compare their properties to those of field stars and find that both components follow field mass-radius relationships. The secondary star has the mass, radius, luminosity and photometric temperature of an M2 star, but a spectroscopic temperature of M4. The latter may well be due to a high metallicity. There is a troubling inconsistency between the radius of the white dwarf inferred from its gravitational redshift and inclination and that inferred from its temperature, flux and astrometric distance.
