We present Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectra and supporting ground-based data for a sample of nine intermediate-mass T Tauri stars (IMTTSs; 1.5-4 Msolar). ... We compare our simultaneous optical-UV data with predictions from accretion shock models to get accretion luminosities and mass accretion rates (M) for the targets. ... Finally, we find that the relation between accretion luminosity and BrнЕ luminosity found for low-mass T Tauri stars extends to the intermediate-mass regime. ...

Astronomers have found a radio pulsar with a companion at least 11 times the mass of the Sun - the most massive pulsar companion known. The identity of the companion is uncertain: it may be a massive late-type (red) star, a massive but compact blue star, or possibly a black hole. ... The probability of this late-type star being there by chance, and not being the pulsar companion, is only about 1.3%," says team member Dr. Fernando Camilo of Columbia University. ... So what can the companion be? ...

Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ...

Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...
