... Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: The role of magnetic fields in the intermediate-mass star formation process . ... Spectropolarimetric observations of Herbig Ae/Be stars indicate that magnetic fields are important ingredients of intermediate mass star formation. To properly understand the physics involved in the intermediate mass star formation process, it is particularly important to know the origin of the magnetic fields in these stars. ...

I-GALFA Survey Fields . ... Most I-GALFA fields are observed by ``nodding'' the telescope north and south along the meridian to trace out a zig-zag pattern on the sky as the Earth rotates. ... The I-GALFA fields fill the AO DEC range and overlap with each other by 20', with one field 3 degrees wide at the zenith and four others 9.3 degrees wide covering the rest of the survey. ... The LST range of each field is shown in blue. ... Field . ... The I-GALFA fields are shown in Galactic coordinates below. ...

We discuss the opportunity of explanation of the current observational data in the framework of this hypothesis. ... Some of my papers I devoted to the phenomena. ...

Next: Phase Dispersion Minimization Up: Period Analysis Previous: Period Analysis . Period determination for short period stars is performed by observing target fields several times per night for several consecutive, or closely spaced, nights. ... First the individual frames are debiased and flat--fielded, then fluxes within a four arcsecond aperture around each star (targets and randomly chosen background stars) are extracted. ... Phase Dispersion Minimization . ...

... Astronomers of the SAO together with an international group of scientists have proposed an explanation to the long-standing mystery of why magnetic fields are more common amongst cool white dwarf stars than amongst young and hotter ones. ... As the result magnetic white dwarfs demonstrate excess in their frequencies in the temperature range below 14000K. The authors also show that the strongly magnetic white dwarfs are of the oldest stars of the Galaxy originated from intermediate-mass relic stars. ...

... However, while low mass stars are usually found to form in loose groups with densities of a few stars per cubic parsecs, high mass stars are known to form in dense clusters with up to 10000 stars per cubic parsec. ... We have undertaken a survey of a cospicuous number of fields around intermediate mass young stars (Herbig Ae/Be stars, HAeBe) with the aim of detect and characterize the groups of young stars that may have formed together with the HAeBe star. ...

SAS home . ... EPIC background spectra are normally extracted from regions of the observation field-of-view, once "contamination" due to individual discrete celestial sources has been removed. ... In order to cope with this situation, blank sky event lists can be downloaded from the XMM-Newton Science Operations Center web site. ... It is in principle possible as well to extract background spectra from blank field event lists, if the spectrum accumulation regions are defined in sky coordinates. ...
