- Description:
- The paper presents the results of determination of fundamental parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, luminosity, mass, radius, rotation velocity, and radial velocity) for 146 stars observed at the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences with the Main Stellar Spectrograph during 2009-2011; 124 of the stars are magnetic or potentially magnetic objects. We obtained and analyzed at least 500 pairs of circularly-polarized-emission spectra. Various methods and approaches were used in estimating the fundamental parameters.

- Description:
- The general context of this study is the inversion of stellar fundamental parameters from high-resolution Echelle spectra. We aim at developing a fast and reliable tool for the post-processing of spectra produced by ESPaDOnS and Narval spectropolarimeters. Our inversion tool relies on principal component analysis. It allows reducing dimensionality and defining a specific metric for the search of nearest neighbours between an observed spectrum and a set of observed spectra taken from the Elodie stellar library. Effective temperature, surface gravity, total metallicity, and projected rotational velocity are derived. Various tests presented in this study that were based solely on information coming from a spectral band centred on the Mgi b-triplet and had spectra from FGK stars are very promising.

- FUSE spectra analysis of hot subdwarf stars
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/764/25

- Description:
- When the neutral interstellar medium is exposed to extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray radiation, the argon atoms in it are far more susceptible to being ionized than the hydrogen atoms. We make use of this fact to determine the level of ionization in the nearby warm neutral medium. By analyzing Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observations of ultraviolet spectra of 44 hot subdwarf stars a few hundred parsecs away from the Sun, we can compare column densities of Ar I to those of O I, where the relative ionization of oxygen can be used as a proxy for that of hydrogen. The measured deficiency [ArI/OI]=-0.427+/-0.11dex below the expectation for a fully neutral medium implies that the electron density n(e){approx}0.04/cm3 if n(H)=0.5/cm3. This amount of ionization is considerably larger than what we expect from primary photoionizations resulting from cosmic rays, the diffuse X-ray background, and X-ray emitting sources within the medium, along with the additional ionizations caused by energetic secondary photoelectrons, Auger electrons, and photons from helium recombinations. We favor an explanation that bursts of radiation created by previous, nearby supernova remnants that have faded by now may have elevated the ionization, and the gas has not yet recombined to a quiescent level. A different alternative is that the low-energy portion of the soft X-ray background is poorly shielded by the H I because it is frothy and has internal pockets of very hot, X-ray emitting gases.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- New spectra have been obtained for the pole-on Be star HR 5223 (HD 120991) using the Far Ultraviolet Satellite Explorer (FUSE). We give a complete description of the far-UV spectral range (920 to 1180{AA}). The spectra are affected by strong blends with interstellar lines and molecular bands that also significantly lower the energy distribution of the star. We produce a synthetic spectrum of the interstellar medium (ISM) to determine the column densities of several elements (H_2_, H I, N I, O I ...) seen towards HR 5223 and to disentangle the components due to the ISM, the photosphere and/or to the circumstellar envelope.

- FUV and optical absorption in 47 Tucanae
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The Bright Star in the globular cluster 47Tucanae (NGC104) is a post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) star of spectral type B8III. The ultraviolet spectra of late-B stars exhibit myriad absorption features, many due to species unobservable from the ground. The Bright Star thus represents a unique window into the chemistry of 47Tuc. We have analyzed observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle Spectrograph on the Magellan Telescope. By fitting these data with synthetic spectra, we determine various stellar parameters (Teff=10850{+/-}250K, logg=2.20{+/-}0.13) and the photospheric abundances of 26 elements, including Ne, P, Cl, Ga, Pd, In, Sn, Hg, and Pb, which have not previously been published for this cluster. Abundances of intermediate-mass elements (Mg through Ga) generally scale with Fe, while the heaviest elements (Pd through Pb) have roughly solar abundances. Its low C/O ratio indicates that the star did not undergo third dredge-up and suggests that its heavy elements were made by a previous generation of stars. If so, this pattern should be present throughout the cluster, not just in this star. Stellar-evolution models suggest that the Bright Star is powered by a He-burning shell, having left the AGB during or immediately after a thermal pulse. Its mass (0.54{+/-}0.16M{sun}) implies that single stars in 47Tuc lose 0.1-0.2M{sun} on the AGB, only slightly less than they lose on the red giant branch.

- Description:
- Besides the astrometric mission of the Gaia satellite, its repeated and high-precision measurements also serve as an all-sky photometric transient survey. The sudden brightenings of the sources are published as Gaia Photometric Science Alerts and are made publicly available, allowing the community to photometrically and spectroscopically follow up on the object. The goal of this paper is to analyze the nature and derive the basic parameters of Gaia18aen, a transient detected at the beginning of 2018. This object coincides with the position of the emission-line star WRAY 15-136. The brightening was classified as a "nova?" on the basis of a subsequent spectroscopic observation. We analyzed two spectra of Gaia18aen and collected the available photometry of the object covering the brightenings in 2018 and also the preceding and following periods of quiescence. Based on this observational data, we derived the parameters of Gaia18aen and discussed the nature of the object. Gaia18aen is the first symbiotic star discovered by Gaia satellite. The system is an S-type symbiotic star and consists of an M giant of a slightly super-solar metallicity, where Teff~3500K, a radius of ~230R_{sun}_, and a high luminosity L~7400L_{sun}_. The hot component is a hot white dwarf. We tentatively determined the orbital period of the system 487d. The main outburst of Gaia18aen in 2018 was accompanied by a decrease in the temperature of the hot component. The first phase of the outburst was characterized by the high luminosity L~27000L_{sun}_, which remained constant for about three weeks after the optical maximum, later followed by the gradual decline of luminosity and increase of temperature. Several re-brightenings have been detected on the timescales of hundreds of days.

- Gaia and LAMOST DR4 M giant members of Sgr stream
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/874/138
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We use LAMOST DR4 M giants combined with Gaia DR2 proper motions and ALLWISE photometry to obtain an extremely pure sample of Sagittarius (Sgr) stream stars. Using TiO5 and CaH spectral indices as indicators, we selected a large sample of M-giant stars from M-dwarf stars in LAMOST DR4 spectra. Considering the position, distance, proper motion, and angular momentum distribution, we obtained 164 pure Sgr stream stars. We find that the trailing arm has higher energy than the leading arm in the same angular momentum. The trailing arm we detected extends to a heliocentric distance of ~130kpc at {Lambda}_{sun}_~170{deg}, which is consistent with the feature found in RR Lyrae in Sesar+ (2017, J/ApJ/844/L4). Both of these detections of Sgr, in M-giants and in RR Lyrae, imply that the Sgr stream may contain multiple stellar populations with a broad metallicity range.

- Description:
- As the event displayed an increased brightness, spectroscopic follow-up observations were immediately scheduled. Low-resolution spectra (R~500) were obtained using the FLOYDS spectrograph, which is mounted on the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) 2-m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory In addition,we used the X-shooter instrument mounted on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) which is a multi-wavelength, medium-resolution spectrograph consisted of three spectroscopic arms allowing for simultaneous observations at three wavelength ranges: UVB (300-559.5nm), VIS (559.5-1024nm), and NIR (1024-2480nm). Spectra used in this publication.
