A STUDY OF MASS LOSS AND DUST FORMATION NEAR HOT STARS
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2015, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
At present dust formation is well studied only near cool stars, whose surface temperatures are close to those of dust sublimation. Hot stars need to supply large amounts of circumstellar material to allow dust formation around them. Such conditions naturally exist near supergiants with masses over 25 M⊙. The theory of stellar evolution predicts that less massive stars do not provide enough matter for dust formation. Nevertheless, dust exists near dwarfs with the B[e] phenomenon and giants of A–G spectral types which do not belong to star formation regions. A large group of objects with the B[e] phenomenon with extremely strong emission-line spectra that are neither young nor highly evolved has been recently identified. They are called FS CMa type objects. Their infrared excesses imply a large amount of recently created dust. Therefore, these objects can noticeably contribute to the Galactic dust content, but they have not been taken into consideration from this perspective.

DETERMINATION OF THE GALAXY CLUSTER ORIENTATION USING X-RAY IMAGES BY FOCAS METHOD
In our work we considered orientations of bright X-ray halos of the galaxy clusters (mainly Abell clusters). 78 appropriate clusters were selected using data from Xgal sample of extragalactic objects in XMM-Newton observ...
INFLUENCE OF SPACE WEATHER ON A CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM OF A HUMAN BEING DURING VARIOUS SOLAR CYCLE PHASES
The study of relationship of dynamics of space weather parameters to changes of cardiovascular system state of a human being was carried out by data of measurements of volunteer groups in October – December 2009 and Marc...
FIVE DIMENSIONAL BOOSTS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD IN KALUZA-KLEIN THEORY
A stationary, spherically symmetric, 5D Kaluza-Klein theory exhibits 5D boosts. After reduction of 5D vacuum Einstein action of a diagonal 5D metric, we obtained Einstein equations with energy-momentum tensor of a massle...
