ABSTRACT We present intensity interferometry of the luminous blue variable P Cyg in the light of its H α emission performed with 1 m-class telescopes. We compare the measured visibility points to synthesized interferometric data based on the CMFGEN physical modelling of a high-resolution spectrum of P Cyg recorded almost simultaneously with our interferometry data. Tuning the stellar parameters of P Cyg and its H α linear diameter, we estimate the distance of P Cyg as 1.56 ± 0.25 kpc, which is compatible within 1σ with 1.36 ± 0.24 kpc reported by the Gaia DR2 catalogue of parallaxes recently published. Both the values are significantly smaller than the canonic value of 1.80 ± 0.10 kpc usually adopted in literature. Our method used to calibrate the distance of P Cyg can apply to very massive and luminous stars both in our Galaxy and neighbouring galaxies, and can improve the so-called wind momentum–luminosity relation that potentially applies to calibrate cosmological candles in the local Universe.

AbstractHigh resolution images, obtained during July 11, 1991 total solar eclipse, allowed us to estimate the degree of solar corona polarization in the light of FeXIV 530.3 nm emission line and in the white light, as well. Very preliminary analysis reveals remarkable differences in the degree of polarization for both sets of data, particularly as for level of polarization and its distribution around the Sun’s limb.

The visible emission spectrum of the GdO molecule has been produced in a DC arc source and has been photographed in the first order of a 10.6 m grating spectrograph. Bands are shown to have a six-headed structure and improved vibrational constants have been obtained in this study. Isotopic shifts have been calculated for the various isotopic molecules. Tentative suggestions regarding the nature of the transition have been made.

Abstract A novel analytical method using high resolution 13C-NMR spectroscopy to study polymer latex, which is a heterogeneous system comprising polymer dispersoid and water, is described. The appropriate concentrations of surfactant and dried rubber content of a polybutadiene latex, which give the best spectrum, were found to be 1 w/v % and 10%, respectively. The half-widths of resonance peaks for the latex sample were almost identical to the half-widths obtained in solution, which were about one-third the width of those obtained using a solid sample of either a crosslinked or soluble polybutadiene. Nevertheless, the signal to noise ratio for the latex sample was slightly smaller than that for the solution sample. The values of spin-lattice relaxation time, T1, for the latex sample were similar to those for the solid sample. These demonstrate that the latex state C-NMR spectroscopy will be a powerful technique for structural characterization of crosslinked gels in the dispersoid because it gives a high resolution spectrum comparable to solution state spectroscopy, showing short T1 values corresponding to those for solid state C-NMR spectroscopy. High resolution latex state 13C-NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the concentrations of the various isomers of the polybutadiene in the dispersoid.
