... Massive stars, having 10-150 masses of the Sun, with metallicities Z tens to hundreds times less than that of the Sun (Zo), are the main regulators of the galaxy formation and evolution processes in the early Universe. ... In this galaxy, using the 6 m BTA telescope, a new massive blue variable star with high luminosity (>=10 5 Sun's luminocities in visible light) was found. As far as its properties are concerned, this star falls into an LBV (Luminous Blue Variable) class of stars. ...

Next: The Evolutionary Status of Up: No Title Previous: Massive X-ray Binaries . After 25 years of pulsar studies, a radiopulsar has been discovered in a binary system with a massive optical companion (Johnston et al. ... As shown in the very first calculations of joint evolution of NS and normal stars in binaries (Kornilov and Lipunov, 1983b[ 86 ]) a considerable fraction (maybe, the majority) of NS in binary systems having an optical companion must be at the ejector љ (E) state. ...

... Stars . ... Cepheid variable stars have been known since the 18th century. ... Regularly brightening to a peak over days, weeks or months before fading these variable stars were remarkable curiosities to astronomers in past centuries.€а The term Cepheid is taken from the star Delta Cephei in the constellation of Cepheus, which was identified as variable€а in 1784 by the teenaged prodigy John Goodricke (1764-96). ... Tweets that mention Cepheids: Inconstant Stars which break the rules | ...

. 66%) of the extreme AGB stars are variable and only smaller fractions of carbon-rich (6.1%) and oxygen-rich (2.0%) stars are detected as variable sources. We also detect a population of variable young stellar object candidates. [ ADS ] . ADS Citation Query . # citations = 41 . citations vs. year [year,citations] .

... A new study using AAT ?chelle spectroscopy and HST spectrophotometry has revised this value upwards to (Woolf & Jeffery 2000). Measuring for the PVTel variables poses considerable difficulties. ... In spite of these constraints, Jeffery et al.

... Credit: Greg Bacon ( STScI ), NASA Explanation: The last decade saw the profound discovery of many worlds beyond our solar system, but none analogs of our home planet Earth . Exploiting precise observational techniques, astronomers inferred the presence of well over two dozen extrasolar planets , most nearly as massive as gas giant Jupiter or more, in close orbits around sun-like stars. ...

Hot stars of *spectral type O, B, and A. They were originally thought, wrongly, to be at an earlier stage of evolution that *late-type stars. ... Young massive O stars that show selectively enhanced emission lines of ionized helium (HeII) and nitrogen (NIII) in addition to a well-developed absorption spectum. ... The emission lines are thought to arise in an expanding stellar atmosphere moving at very high speeds of up to 3000 km/s so that the star is continuously and rapidly losing mass. ...
