The Pristine survey - XXI. Exploring the metal-poor boundary with ESPaDoNS

Pascale Jablonka

In this paper, we study high-resolution spectra of 19 stars that have metallicity estimates below -3.5 using at least two metallicity-sensitive photometric indices based on Pristine photometry. The purpose is to understand what kind of stars populate this ...

Measurement of the 171Tm beta spectrum

Lesya Shchutska, Maarten Willibrord Uriël Van Dijk, Alexey Boyarsky

The beta spectrum of the main transition of the 171Tm was measured using a double focalizing spectrometer. The instrument was lately improved in order to reduce its low energy threshold to 34 keV. We used the spectrometer to measure the energy end-point of ...

A landmark environmental law looks ahead

Devis Tuia

In late December 1973, the United States enacted what some would come to call “the pitbull of environmental laws.” In the 50 years since, the formidable regulatory teeth of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) have been credited with considerable successes, ob ...

The eta Aquilae System: Radial Velocities and Astrometry in Search of eta Aql B

Richard Irving Anderson

The classical Cepheid eta Aql was not included in past Leavitt Law work because of a presumed complicating orbit due to a known B9.8V companion. To determine the orbit of eta Aql B, we analyze a significant number of radial velocity (RV) measurements from ...

Discovery of a Binary-origin Classical Cepheid in a Binary System with a 59 day Orbital Period

Richard Irving Anderson

We report the discovery of a surprising binary configuration of the double-mode Cepheid OGLE-LMC-CEP-1347 pulsating in the first (P-1= 0.690 days) and second-overtone (P-2= 0.556 days) modes. The orbital period (P-orb= 59 days) of the system is five times ...
