22571. Type Ibc SNe in disturbed galaxies

Title:
Type Ibc SNe in disturbed galaxies
Short Name:

Description:
We compare the radial locations of 178 core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) to the R-band and H{alpha} light distributions of their host galaxies. When the galaxies are split into "disturbed" and "undisturbed" categories, a striking difference emerges. The disturbed galaxies have a central excess of CCSNe and this excess is almost completely dominated by supernovae of types Ib, Ic, and Ib/c, whereas type II supernovae dominate in all other environments. The difference cannot easily be explained by metallicity or extinction effects, and thus we propose that this is direct evidence for a stellar initial mass function that is strongly weighted toward high-mass stars, specifically in the central regions of disturbed galaxies.

Type Ic SN 2010mb optical photometry
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present our observations of SN 2010mb, a Type Ic supernova (SN) lacking spectroscopic signatures of H and He. SN 2010mb has a slowly declining light curve (LC) (~600 days) that cannot be powered by ^56^Ni/^56^Co radioactivity, the common energy source for Type Ic SNe. We detect signatures of interaction with hydrogen-free circumstellar material including a blue quasi-continuum and, uniquely, narrow oxygen emission lines that require high densities (~10^9^/cm^3^). From the observed spectra and LC, we estimate that the amount of material involved in the interaction was ~3 M_{sun}_. Our observations are in agreement with models of pulsational pair-instability SNe described in the literature.

Description:
In the second part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars (OIII-CVS) we present 197 type II Cepheids and 83 anomalous Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The sample of type II Cepheids consists of 64 BL Her stars, 96 W Vir stars and 37 RV Tau stars. Anomalous Cepheids are divided into 62 fundamental-mode and 21 first-overtone pulsators. These are the largest samples of such types of variable stars detected anywhere outside the Galaxy.

Type II and anomalous Cepheids luminosities

Description:
Type II and anomalous Cepheids (ACs) are useful distance indicators when there are too few classical Cepheids or when RR Lyrae stars are too faint. Type II and ACs follow a period-luminosity relation as well, but they are less well-studied classes of objects. In this paper we study the sample of 335 Type II and ACs in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds detected in OGLE-III data. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are constructed from photometric data available in the literature and fitted with a dust radiative transfer model, thereby leading to a determination of luminosity and effective temperature. In addition, a subsample of targets is investigated for possible binarity by looking for the light-time travel effect (LITE). Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams (HRD) are constructed and compared to evolutionary tracks and theoretical instability strips (ISs). In agreement with previous suggestions, the BL Her subclass can be explained by the evolution of ~0.5-0.6M_{sun}_ stars evolving off the zero-age horizontal branch and the ACs can be explained by the evolution of ~1.1-2.3M_{sun}_ stars. The evolution of the W Vir subclass is not clear. These objects are at higher luminosities than ACs and evolutionary tracks of ~2.5-4M_{sun}_ stars cross this region in the HRD, but the periods of the W Vir are longer than those of the short period classical Cepheids at these luminosities, which indicates the former have lower masses. A low-mass star experiencing a thermal pulse when the envelope mass is small can make a blue loop into the IS region of the W Vir stars. But the timescale is extremely short, so this is also no explanation for the W Vir as a class. A relation to binarity might be at the origin of the W Vir stars, which has already been explicitly suggested for the peculiar W Vir stars. For ~60% of the RV Tau and ~10% of the W Vir objects an infrared excess is detected from the SED fitting. A recent result is confirmed that stars exist with luminosities below that predicted from single-star evolution, which show a clear infrared excess, and the shape of the excess suggests a connection to binary evolution. The investigation of the LITE effect revealed 20 systems that appear to show periodic variations and may be new binaries, although this study requires follow-up. About 40 stars show significant period changes.

Type II bursts in the Rapid Burster

Description:
Type II bursts are thought to arise from instabilities in the accretion flow on to a neutron star in an X-ray binary. Despite having been known for almost 40 years, no model can yet satisfactorily account for all their properties. To shed light on the nature of this phenomenon and provide a reference for future theoretical work, we study the entire sample of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data of type II bursts from the Rapid Burster (MXB 1730-335). We find that type II bursts are Eddington-limited in flux, that a larger amount of energy goes in the bursts than in the persistent emission, that type II bursts can be as short as 0.130s, and that the distribution of recurrence times drops abruptly below 15-18s. We highlight the complicated feedback between type II bursts and the NS surface thermonuclear explosions known as type I bursts, and between type II bursts and the persistent emission. We review a number of models for type II bursts. While no model can reproduce all the observed burst properties and explain the source uniqueness, models involving a gating role for the magnetic field come closest to matching the properties of our sample. The uniqueness of the source may be explained by a special combination of magnetic field strength, stellar spin period and alignment between the magnetic field and the spin axis.

Type II Cepheid and RR Lyrae variables

Description:
Infrared and optical absolute magnitudes are derived for the type II Cepheids kappa Pav and VY Pyx using revised Hipparcos parallaxes and for kappa Pav, V553 Cen and SW Tau from pulsational parallaxes. Revised Hipparcos and HST parallaxes for RR Lyrae agree satisfactorily and are combined in deriving absolute magnitudes. Phase-corrected J, H and Ks mags are given for 142 Hipparcos RR Lyraes based on Two-Micron All-Sky Survey observations. Pulsation and trigonometrical parallaxes for classical Cepheids are compared to establish the best value for the projection factor (p) used in pulsational analyses.

Description:
We have obtained VR photometry of 447 Cepheid variable star candidates with declinations north of -14{deg}30', most of which were identified using the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) data archive. Periods and other photometric properties were derived from the combination of our data with the NSVS data. Atmospheric parameters were determined for 81 of these stars from low-resolution spectra. The identification of type II Cepheids based on the data presented in all four papers in this series is discussed. On the basis of spectra, 30 type II Cepheids were identified while 53 variables were identified as cool, main sequence stars and 283 as red giants following the definitions in Paper III. An additional 30 type II Cepheids were identified on the basis of light curves. The present classifications are compared with those from the Machine-learned All Sky Automated Survey Classification Catalog for 174 stars in common.

Type II Cepheids

Description:
We have determined the photospheric compositions of five luminous F-G variables in globular clusters: V11 in M2, V42 in M5, V84 in M5, V2 in M10, and V17 in M28, three of which are classified as RV Tau variable stars. Unlike the recent findings that the photospheres of field RV Tau variables have been altered by a gas-dust separation process, none of these stars, except possibly V2 in M10, show such signs. We suggest that either a smaller carbon abundance in the photosphere of a globular cluster RV Tau star (compared to its field analogues) might be a factor in the gas-dust separation process due to the lack of sufficient carbon grain formation, or the stellar winds and their efficacy as dust-grain separators is influenced by the metallicity of the stellar envelope which, unlike the photosphere, is never subject to alteration by a dust-gas separation. Our analysis is most complete for V84, for which we have estimated the abundances of 19 chemical elements. Compared to the other giants in M5, this star displays a very large excess of Na and a deficit of O. This finding is consistent with a recently proposed mechanism of Na production in the ON-cycling region of metal-poor RGB stars. The value of [Al/Fe] for V84 is also high (also consistent with ON-cycling), but a comparison with the other cluster giants cannot be performed until Al is measured in their spectra. The s-process elements are not significantly enhanced in the atmosphere of V84 relative to the other cluster members. (c) 1997 American Astronomical Society.
22579. Type II Cepheids abundances

Title:
Type II Cepheids abundances
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/477/2276
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The chemical composition of 28 Population II Cepheids and one RR Lyrae variable has been studied using high-resolution spectra. The chemical composition of W Vir variable stars (with periods longer than 8 d) is typical for the halo and thick disc stars. However, the chemical composition of BL Her variables (with periods of 0.8-4 d) is drastically different, although it does not differ essentially from that of the stars belonging to globular clusters. In particular, the sodium overabundance ([Na/Fe]~=0.4) is reported for most of these stars, and the Na-O anticorrelation is also possible. The evolutionary tracks for BL Her variables (with a progenitor mass value of 0.8 solar masses) indicate that mostly helium-overabundant stars (Y=0.30-0.35) can fall into the instability strip region. We suppose that it is the helium overabundance that accounts not only for the existence of BL Her variable stars but also for the observed abnormalities in the chemical composition of this small group of pulsating variables.

Description:
We present new Near-Infrared photometry of Type II Cepheids in the Bulge from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey (VVV) (Minniti et al., 2010NewA...15..433M; Saito et al., 2012A&A...537A.107S, Cat. II/337. We provide the largest sample (894 stars) of T2Cs with JHKs observations that have accurate periods from the OGLE catalog (Soszynski et al., 2017, Cat. J/AcA/67/297). Our analysis makes use of the Ks-band time-series observations to estimate mean-magnitudes and individual distances by means of the Period-Luminosity PL relation. To constrain the kinematic properties of our targets, we complement our analysis with proper motions based on both the VVV and Gaia Data Release 2.
