AbstractIn order to study the apparent near instability of supergiant atmospheres high-resolution (λ/Δ λ = 8×104) BUSS (Balloon-borne Ultraviolet Stellar Spectrometer) spectra of the supergiant Alpha Cyg have been investigated. Equivalent widths of lines yield the variation of the line-of-sight microturbulent velocity component ζµwith optical depth τ. We find at τ5= 0.1: ζµequal to the velocity of sound. The consequent turbulent acceleration is directed outward, it increases outward and is about half the effective acceleration at τ5= 0.01. The macroturbulent velocity profile is double peaked with up- and downward velocities of 14 km s−1. We suggest that these motions are stochastic pulsations of large elements. At any time there are 30 to 40 such elements on the visible disk.

The eclipsing binary U Cephei has proven to be of great interest in the study of stellar evolution in close binary systems. Batten (1974), Hall and Walter (1974), Rhombs and Fix (1976), Markworth (1977), and Olson (1978), among others, have recently reported on their intensive ground based studies of U Cephei. Kondo, McCluskey and Wu (1978) have investigated the ultraviolet light curves of U Cephei obtained with Astronomical Netherlands Satellite (ANS). Kondo, McCluskey and Stencel (1979) have discussed the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spectra of U Cephei. This paper discusses results incorporating additional IUE high resolution spectra of U Cephei obtained in both far-ultraviolet and mid-ultraviolet spectral regions.

AbstractChandra has deeply observed the clusters and parallel fields in four Frontier Fields. These observations allow us to dramatically improve our understanding of cluster mergers by comparing the detailed mapping of the hot cluster gas with high resolution mass maps and by identifying merger shocks and cold fronts. In merging clusters, relativistic particles can be re-accelerated to produce radio relics. A comparison of lensing maps and Chandra images allows us to determine the cluster morphology and dynamical state and if there are offsets between the dark matter and the hot gas.

AbstractThe high resolution ultraviolet spectra of the 4.4-day period binary R Arae, observed in 1980 with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), show that its continuum flux level varied outside of eclipse by more than a factor of two in ten days, and by over 50 percent within a same orbital cycle. The flux level varied non-monotonically at different wavelengths. The resonance lines of Mg II and Si IV exhibited shortward–shifted absorption components near phase 0.4, indicating the presence of a gas stream toward the observer at a velocity of some –450 to –500 km s–1. Our observations of R Arae with the Einstein satellite show it to be an X–ray source.
