- Description:
- We present new grids of colors and bolometric corrections for F-K stars having 4000 K {<=} Teff {<=} 6500 K, 0.0 {<=} log(g) {<=} 4.5, and -3.0 {<=} [Fe/H] {<=} 0.0. Colors are tabulated for Johnson U-V and B-V, Cousins V-R and V-I, Johnson-Glass V-K, J-K, and H-K, and CIT/CTIO V-K, J-K, H-K, and CO. We have developed these color-temperature relations by convolving synthetic spectra with the best-determined, photometric filter transmission profiles. The synthetic spectra have been computed with the SSG spectral synthesis code (Bell & Gustafsson 1978; Gustafsson & Bell 1979) using MARCS stellar atmosphere models (Gustafsson et al. 1975; Bell et al. 1976) as input. Both of these codes have been improved substantially, especially at low temperatures, through the incorporation of new opacity data. The resulting synthetic colors have been put onto the observational systems by applying color calibrations derived from models and photometry of field stars that have effective temperatures determined by the infrared flux method. These color calibrations have zero points that change most of the original synthetic colors by less than 0.02 mag, and the corresponding slopes generally alter the colors by less than 5%.

- Description:
- We have obtained spectra for 1273 stars using the 0.9m coude feed telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. This telescope feeds the coude spectrograph of the 2.1m telescope. The spectra have been obtained with the No.5 camera of the coude spectrograph and a Loral 3Kx1K CCD. Two gratings have been used to provide spectral coverage from 3460 to 9464{AA}, at a resolution of ~1{AA} FWHM and at an original dispersion of 0.44{AA}/pix. For 885 stars we have complete spectra over the entire 3460 to 9464{AA} wavelength region (neglecting small gaps of less than 50{AA}), and partial spectral coverage for the remaining stars. The 1273 stars have been selected to provide broad coverage of the atmospheric parameters T_eff_, logg, and [Fe/H], as well as spectral type. The goal of the project is to provide a comprehensive library of stellar spectra for use in the automated classification of stellar and galaxy spectra and in galaxy population synthesis. In this paper we discuss the characteristics of the spectral library, viz., details of the observations, data reduction procedures, and selection of stars. We also present a few illustrations of the quality and information available in the spectra. The first version of the complete spectral library is now publicly available from the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) via ftp and http, at http://www.noao.edu/cflib .

- Description:
- In order to investigate the relations between the mass loss from pulsating red giants and quantities which can be obtained from observations, we have explored the behavior of theoretical models which treat the time-dependent hydrodynamics of circumstellar outflows, including a detailed treatment of the dust formation process. This approach, while ignoring effects such as a possible non-sphericity of the stellar atmospheres which are difficult to assess, accounts correctly for factors such as the grain formation and destruction which are crucial to the mass-loss mechanism. We built a grid of ~150 models covering a wide range of physical situations. This grid allows us to characterize the effects of different parameters, such as the stellar luminosity and temperature, the period and the amplitude of the pulsation, and the C/O element abundance ratio, on the behavior of AGB winds and on the rates of mass loss. We find two regimes for the stellar outflows.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- In order to investigate the formation of O I 7771-5 and [O I] 6300/6363 lines, extensive non-LTE calculations for neutral atomic oxygen were carried out for wide ranges of model atmosphere parameters, which are applicable to early-K through late-F halo/disk stars of various evolutionary stages. The formation of the triplet O I lines was found to be well described by the classical two-level-atom scattering model, and the non-LTE correction is practically determined by the parameters of the line-transition itself without any significant relevance to the details of the oxygen atomic model. This simplifies the problem in the sense that the non-LTE abundance correction is essentially determined only by the line-strength (W_{lambda}_), if the atmospheric parameters of Teff, logg, and {xi} are given, without any explicit dependence of the metallicity; thus allowing a useful analytical formula with tabulated numerical coefficients. On the other hand, our calculations lead to the robust conclusion that LTE is totally valid for the forbidden [O I] lines.

- Description:
- Results are presented of an extensive X-ray survey of 380 giant and supergiant stars of spectral types from F to M, carried out with the Einstein Observatory. It was found that the observed F giants or subgiants (slightly evolved stars with a mass M less than about 2 solar masses) are X-ray emitters at the same level of main-sequence stars of similar spectral type. The G giants show a range of emission more than 3 orders of magnitude wide; some single G giants exist with X-ray luminosities comparable to RS CVn systems, while some nearby large G giants have upper limits on the X-ray emission below typical solar values. The K giants have an observed X-ray emission level significantly lower than F and F giants. None of the 29 M giants were detected, except for one spectroscopic binary.

- Description:
- Iron plays a crucial role in studies of late-type stars. In their atmospheres, neutral iron is the minority species and lines of FeI are subject to the departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). In contrast, one believes that LTE is a realistic approximation for FeII lines. The main source of the uncertainties in the non-LTE (NLTE) calculations for cool atmospheres is a treatment of inelastic collisions with hydrogen atoms. We investigate the effect of FeI+HI and FeII+HI collisions and their different treatment on the FeI/FeII ionisation equilibrium and iron abundance determinations for Galactic halo benchmark stars HD 84937, HD 122563, and HD 140283 and a sample of 38 very metal-poor (VMP) giants in the dwarf galaxies with well known distances. We perform the NLTE calculations for FeI-FeII with applying quantum-mechanical rate coefficients for collisions with HI from recent papers of Barklem (2018, Cat. J/A+A/612/A90B18), Yakovleva, Belyaev, and Kraemer (2018CP....515..369Y, YBK18), and Yakovleva, Belyaev, and Kraemer (2019MNRAS.483.5105Y , YBK19). We find that collisions with HI serve as efficient thermalisation processes for FeII, such that the NLTE abundance corrections for FeII lines do not exceed 0.02dex, in absolute value, for [Fe/H]~>-3 and reach +0.06dex at [Fe/H]~-4. For a given star, different treatments of FeI+HI collisions by B18 and YBK18 lead to similar average NLTE abundances from the FeI lines, although there exist discrepancies in the NLTE abundance corrections for individual lines. With using quantum-mechanical collisional data and the Gaia based surface gravity, we obtain consistent abundances from the two ionisation stages, FeI and FeII, for a red giant HD 122563. For a turn-off star HD 84937 and a subgiant HD 140283, we analyse the iron lines in the visible and the ultra-violet (UV, 1968 to 2990{AA}) range. For either FeI or FeII, abundances from the visible and UV lines are found to be consistent in each star. The NLTE abundances from the two ionisation stages agree within 0.10dex, when using the YBK18 data, and 0.13dex in case of B18. The FeI/FeII ionisation equilibrium is achieved for each star of our stellar sample in the dwarf galaxies, with the exception of stars at [Fe/H]~<-3.7.

- Description:
- The degree of complexity of physics due to proximity effects in close binary stars is one of the most important challenges in theoretical stellar physics. The knowledge of how the specific intensity is distributed over the stellar disk is primordial to model the light curves of eclipsing binaries and planetary transits correctly. In order to provide theoretical input for light curve modelling codes, we present new calculations of gravity- and limb darkening coefficients for a wide range of effective temperatures, gravities, metallicities and microturbulent velocities. We have computed limb darkening coefficients for several atmosphere models, covering the transmission curves of the Kepler, CoRoT and Spitzer space missions as well as more widely used passbands (Stroemgren, Johnson-Cousins, Sloan). In addition to these computations, which were computed by adopting the Least-Square Method, we also performed calculations for the bi-parametric approximations by adopting the Flux Conservation Method to provide users with an additional tool to estimate the theoretical error bars. To facilitate the modelling of the effects of tidal and rotational distortions, we computed the GDCs y({lambda}) using the same models of stellar atmospheres as in the case of limb-darkening. Compared to previous work, a more general differential equation was used which now takes into account local gravity variations and the effects of convection. The limb darkening coefficients were computed with a larger numerical resolution (100um points instead of 15 or 17 as is often used in the ATLAS models) and five equations were used to describe the specific intensities (linear, quadratic, root-square, logarithmic and a 4-coefficient law (Equation 5)). Concerning the GDCs, the influence of the local gravity on y({lambda}) is shown as well as the effects of convection, which turn out to be very significant for cool stars. The results are tabulated for log(g)'s ranging from 0.0 to 5.0,-5.0<=log[M/H]<=+1, 2000K<=Teff<=50000K and for 5 values of the microturbulent velocity (0, 2, 4, 6, 8). ATLAS and PHOENIX plane-parallel atmosphere models were used for all the computations.

- Description:
- We present grids of limb-darkening coefficients computed from non-LTE, line-blanketed TLUSTY model atmospheres, covering effective-temperature and surface-gravity ranges of 15-55kK and 4.75dex (cgs) down to the effective Eddington limit, at 2x, 1x, 0.5x (Large Magellanic Cloud), 0.2x (Small Magellanic Cloud), and 0.1x solar. Results are given for the Bessell UBVRI_C_JKHL, Sloan ugriz, Stromgren ubvy, WFCAM ZYJHK , Hipparcos, Kepler, and Tycho passbands, in each case characterized by several different limb-darkening 'laws'. We examine the sensitivity of limb darkening to temperature, gravity, metallicity, microturbulent velocity, and wavelength, and make a comparison with LTE models. The dependence on metallicity is very weak, but limb darkening is a moderately strong function of logg in this temperature regime.

- Description:
- The distribution of the specific intensity over the stellar disk is an essential tool for modeling the light curves in eclipsing binaries, planetary transits, and stellar diameters through interferometric techniques, line profiles in rotating stars, gravitational microlensing, etc. However, the available theoretical calculations are mostly restricted to stars on the main sequence or the giant branch, and very few calculations are available for compact stars. The main objective of the present work is to extend these investigations by computing the gravity and limb-darkening coefficients for white dwarf atmosphere models with hydrogen, helium, or mixed compositions (types DA, DB, and DBA). We computed gravity and limb-darkening coefficients for DA, DB, and DBA white dwarfs atmosphere models, covering the transmission curves of the Sloan, UBVRI, Kepler, TESS, and Gaia photometric systems. Specific calculations for the HiPERCAM instrument were also carried out. For all calculations of the limb-darkening coefficients we used the least-squares method. Concerning the effects of tidal and rotational distortions, we also computed for the first time the gravity-darkening coefficients $y(\lambda)$ for white dwarfs using the same models of stellar atmospheres as in the case of limb-darkening. A more general differential equation was introduced to derive these quantities, including the partial derivative <{\partial}lnI_o_(lambda)/{\partial}lng)_Teff_. Six laws were adopted to describe the specific intensity distribution: linear, quadratic, square root, logarithmic, power-2, and a more general one with four coefficients. The computations are presented for the chemical compositions log[H/He]=-10.0 (DB), -2.0 (DBA) and He/H=0 (DA), with logg varying between 5.0 and 9.5 and effective temperatures between 3750K-100000K. For effective temperatures higher than 40000K, the models were also computed adopting nonlocal thermal equilibrium (DA). The adopted mixing-length parameters are ML2/{alpha}= 0.8 (DA case) and 1.25 (DB and DBA). The results are presented in the form of 112 tables. Additional calculations, such as for other photometric systems and/or different values of log[H/He], logg, and Teff can be performed upon request.
