Broad-band Spectral Evolution of Scorpius X-1 along its Color-Color Diagram

2007

We analyze a large collection of RXTE archive data from April 1997 to August 2003 of the bright X-ray source Scorpius X-1 in order to study the broadband spectral evolution of the source for different values of the inferred mass accretion rate by studying energy spectra from selected regions in the Z-track of its Color-Color Diagram. A two-component model, consisting of a soft thermal component interpreted as thermal emission from an accretion disk and a thermal Comptonization component, is unable to fit the whole 3--200 keV energy spectrum at low accretion rates. Strong residuals in the highest energy band of the spectrum require the addition of a third component that can be fitted with a …

23 GHz VLBI observations of SN 2008ax (Research Note)

2009

We report on phase-referenced 23 GHz Very-Long-Baseline-Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the type IIb supernova SN 2008ax, made with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) on 2 April 2008 (33 days after explosion). These observations resulted in a marginal detection of the supernova. The total flux density recovered from our VLBI image is 0.8 ± 0.3 mJy (one standard deviation). As it appears, the structure may be interpreted as either a core-jet or a double source. However, the supernova structure could be somewhat confused with a possible close by noise peak. In such a case, the recovered flux density would decrease to 0.48 ± 0.12 mJy, compatible with the flux densities measured with the…

Brown Dwarfs in ChaI Dark Cloud

2004

We present the results of a multiband survey for brown dwarfs in the Chamaeleon I dark cloud with the Wide Field Imager (WFI) camera at the ESO/MPG 2.2-m telescope on La Silla (Chile) on 28-May to 03-Jun 1999. The survey has revealed a substantial population of brown dwarfs in this southern star-forming region. Candidates were selected from R, I and H{alpha} imaging observations. We also observed in two medium-band filters, M855 and M915, for spectral type determination. The former filter covers a wavelength range containing spectral features characteristic of M-dwarfs, while the latter lies in a relatively featureless wavelength region for these late-type objects. A correlation was found b…

VCNS II. The IR-excess-selected population

2015

We performed a deep wide-field (6.76 square-degrees) near-infrared survey with the VISTA telescope that covers the entire extent of the Carina nebula complex. Complementing the VISTA near-infrared catalog with Spitzer IRAC mid-infrared photometry improves the situation of the background contamination considerably. We find that a (J-H) versus (Ks-[4.5]) color-color diagram is well suited to tracing the population of YSO-candidates (cYSOs) by their infrared excess. We identify 8781 sources with strong infrared excess, which we consider as cYSOs. This sample is used to investigate the spatial distribution of the cYSOs with a nearest-neighbor analysis. The surface density distribution of cYSOs …

Variability in proto-PNe. II.

2014

We have carried out a detailed observational study of the light, color, and velocity variations of two bright, carbon-rich proto-planetary nebulae, IRAS 22223+4327 and 22272+5435. The light curves are based upon our observations from 1994 to 2011, together with published data by Arkhipova and collaborators. They each display four significant periods, with primary periods for IRAS 22223+4327 and 22272+5435 being 90 and 132 days, respectively. For each of them, the ratio of secondary to primary period is 0.95, a value much different from that found in Cepheids, but which may be characteristic of post-asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Fewer significant periods are found in the smaller radia…

Czy intymność, namiętność i zobowiązanie kształtują satysfakcję seksualną seniorów? Wyniki badania eksploracyjnego

2018

Wstęp: Seks stanowi manifestację relacji miłosnej pozwalającą na osiągnięcie pełni miłości. Seks osób starszych bywa jednak często pomijany lub niedoceniany w dyskusjach nad ludzką seksualnością. Aktywność seksualna w wieku senioralnym jest formą wyrażania uczuć i bliskości, ale również wzajemnej lojalności i zaufania. Ma również właściwości prozdrowotne. Badacze twierdzą, że aż 67% osób starszych jest zadowolonych ze swojej aktywności seksualnej. Materiały i metody: W badaniu wzięły udział 83 osoby w wieku 61–81 lat, 33 mężczyzn oraz 55 kobiet. Byli to członkowie Uniwersytetu Trzeciego Wieku oraz różnych kół zainteresowań dla osób starszych. Aktywność seksualną deklarowało 68% kobiet oraz …

Koksnes staru veidošanās parastajā priedē Pinus sylvestris Tomē lāna briestaudzē

2020

Parastā priede ir pasaulē visplašāk izplatītākā un ekonomiski nozīmīga skujkoku suga. Tā veido biomasas pieaugumu, izmantojot pašreizējos asimilātus, tomēr tās augšanai tiek izmantotas arī iepriekš izveidotās rezerves, kas noglabātas koksnes staru veidā. Mainīgos vides, īpaši ekstrēmos apstākļos mainās arī uzkrāto rezervju daudzums, kas var ietekmēt biomasas pieaugumu nākotnē. Koksnes staru izmēri atspoguļo uzkrāto rezervju daudzumu koksnē un pēc tā var spriest par koku reakciju uz meteoroloģiskajiem faktoriem un sociālā statusa nozīmi vienas audzes ietvaros. Par pētījuma vietu izvēlēta saimnieciska parastās priedes audze lāna tipa mežā, Tomē. Pētījumam ievāca urbumus no I un III Krafta kla…

W pułapce samotności : pracownik socjalny wobec wykluczenia samotnych seniorów z lokalnej przestrzeni społecznej

2017

Pracownicy socjalni w swojej codziennej pracy spotykają ludzi, którzy nie radzą sobie sami z otaczającą ich rzeczywistością. Starają się więc pomóc im w samodzielnym pokonywaniu napotkanych trudności. Czynią to na różne sposoby przy zastosowaniu metod pracy socjalnej, z których najczęściej stosowane są metody pracy z indywidualnym przypadkiem i grupą (rodziną). Najrzadziej wykorzystują w realizacji powierzonych im zadań metodę organizowania środowiska. Jedną z przyczyn wykluczenia społecznego jednostki jest brak trafnej diagnozy powodów, dla których jednostki izolują się od funkcjonujących w ich przestrzeni społecznej innych ludzi. Zamykają się w swoich domach, izolują od życia w szerszych …

Discovery of slow X-ray pulsations in the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54

2008

Context. The source 4U 2206+54 is one of the most enigmatic high-mass X-ray binaries. In spite of intensive searches, X-ray pul- sations have not been detected in the time range 10−3–103 s. A cyclotron line at ∼30 keV has been suggested by various authors but never detected with significance. The stellar wind of the optical companion is abnormally slow. The orbital period, initially reported to be 9.6 days, disappeared and a new periodicity of 19.25 days emerged. Aims. The main objective of our RXTE monitoring of 4U 2206+54 is to study the X-ray orbital variability of the spectral and timing parameters. The new long and uninterrupted RXTE observations allow us to search for long (∼1 h) puls…

8.4GHz VLBI observations of SN2004et in NGC6946

2007

We report on 8.4GHz Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the type II-P supernova SN2004et in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946, made on 20 February 2005 (151 days after explosion). The Very Large Array (VLA) flux density was 1.23$\pm$0.07 mJy, corresponding to an isotropic luminosity at 8.4GHz of (4.45$\pm$0.3)$\times10^{25}$ erg s$^{-1}$ Hz$^{-1}$ and a brightness temperature of (1.3$\pm$0.3)$\times10^{8}$ K. We also provide an improved source position, accurate to about 0.5 mas in each coordinate. The VLBI image shows a clear asymmetry. From model fitting of the size of the radio emission, we estimate a minimum expansion velocity of 15,700$\pm$2,000 km s$^{-1}$. This velocity…
