The cool Galactic R Coronae Borealis variable DY Persei
Results of first CCD photometry during the recent deep light decline, and high-resolution spectroscopy, are presented for DY Persei. The spectra show variable blueshifted features in the sodium D lines. The C lines are strong whereas neutron- capture elements are not enhanced. The isotopic 13 CN(2, 0) lines relative to 12 CN are of similar strength with those for the carbon star U Hya. All these confirm the RCB nature of DY Per and the existence of ejected clouds. At least two clouds are revealed at −197.3 and −143.0 km s −1 . A star was detected about 0. 4t o the west and 2 . 5 to the north from DY Per. This anonymous companion, with observed colour indices (B − V) = 0.68 and (V − R) � 1…
A comprehensive analysis of the cool RCB star DY Persei
Context. Theoretically, the number of cool Galactic R Coronae Borealis stars (RCBs) should be greater than the warm RCBs, however to date, only a few candidates have been detected. Aims. Observations of the extremely cool RCB candidate, DY Per, and the anonymous nearby star (the “Taipei star”) are presented to specify its fundamental parameters and evolutionary status. Methods. CCD BVRI photometry and low-resolution spectroscopy at deep light decline was carried out in 2004. A high-resolution spectrum was gathered near the maximum light in 2002, and a qualitative analysis was made relative to the typical carbon stars of various types. Results. Near the light maximums, the nearby anonymous s…
DYNAMICAL PHENOMENA IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE PROTO-PLANETARY NEBULA IRAS 22272+5435
Radial velocity monitoring of the star HD 235858 confirmed regular variations with a peak-to-peak amplitude of about 10 km s–1 and a period of about 131.2 days. The light, color, and velocity variations are typical for RV Tauri stars. Splitting of low-excitation atomic lines was detected. The components are both blue- and redshifted relative to the systemic velocity. Significant variations are observed in the intensity of C2 and CN lines. Variable emission in the Hα profile, splitting of low-excitation atomic absorption lines, appearance of CN emission lines, blue wings of strong lines, and recent reddening give evidence of shocks and mass outflow obviously induced by atmospheric pulsations.
