We fit general relativistic, geometrically thin accretion disk models with non-LTE atmospheres to near simultaneous multiwavelength data of 3C~273, extending from the optical to the far ultraviolet. Our model fits show no flux discontinuity…
Using CHARA and VLTI near-infrared spectro-interferometry with hectometric baseline lengths (up to 330m) and with high spectral resolution (up to 12000), we studied the gas distribution and kinematics around two classical Be stars. The…
For purposes of stellar population analysis, emission corrections for Balmer series indices on the Lick index system in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) stacked quiescent galaxy spectra are derived, along with corrections for continuum shape…
We study the physical conditions in DLAs, using a sample of 33 systems toward 26 QSOs acquired for a recently completed survey of H_2 by Ledoux et al. (2003). We use the column densities of H_2 in different rotational levels, together with…
Aims. In this paper we model, in a self-consistent way, polarimetric, photometric, spectrophotometric and interferometric observations of the classical Be star $\zeta$ Tauri. Our primary goal is to conduct a critical quantitative test of…
In circumstellar disks or shells it is often assumed that gas and dust temperatures are equal where the latter is determined by radiative equilibrium. This paper deals with the question whether this assumption is applicable for tenous…
We describe our recent progress in modeling supernova-fallback disks and neutron star (NS) atmospheres. We present a first detailed spectrum synthesis calculation of a SN-fallback disk composed of iron. We assume a thin disk with a radial…
We report on the successful science verification phase of a new observing mode at the Keck interferometer, which provides a line-spread function width and sampling of 150km/s at K'-band, at a current limiting magnitude of K'~7mag with…
Major mergers or/and the repeated minor mergers lead to dynamical heating of disks of galaxies. We analyze the available data on the velocity dispersion of stellar disks of S-S0 galaxies, including the new observational data obtained at 6m…
The abundances of carbon, oxygen, and iron in late-type stars are important parameters in exoplanetary and stellar physics, as well as key tracers of stellar populations and Galactic chemical evolution. We carried out three-dimensional (3D)…
We have used the He I discontinuities at 3421A to determine the electron temperatures, designated Te(He I), for a sample of five Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe). We compared Te(He I) with the electron temperatures derived from the hydrogen…
The Ca II resonance doublet (HK) and the near-infrared triplet (CaT) are among the strongest features in stellar spectra of FGK-type stars. These spectral lines remain prominent down to extremely low metallicities and are thus useful for…
The Be stars display variable optical emission lines originating in the circumstellar disc. Here we analyse high resolution spectroscopic observations of Be stars and the distance between the peaks of H-alpha, H-beta, and H-gamma emission…
While uniform temperature has no effect on equilibrium properties of hard-core systems, its gradient might substantially change their behaviour. In particular, in hard-disk system subject to temperature difference $\Delta T$ disks are…
The paper describes the modelling of the structure and spectra of the hot accretion spots on the surface of young stars with taking into account departures from LTE for hydrogen and helium. It has been found that the existence of the ram…
Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) line formation for Ca I-Ca II, Ti I-Ti II, and Fe I-Fe II is considered in model atmospheres of giant stars with an effective temperature of 4000 K $\le$ Teff $\le$ 5000 K and a metal abundance…
We identify a low-metallicity ($12+\log({\rm O}/{\rm H})=7.59$) Ly$\alpha$-emitting galaxy at $z=5.943$ with evidence of a strong Balmer jump, arising from nebular continuum. While Balmer jumps are sometimes observed in low-redshift…
We investigate the nonlinear growth stages of bending instability in stellar disks with exponential radial density profiles.We found that the unstable modes are global (the wavelengths are larger than the disk scale lengths) and that the…
Be stars are main-sequence massive stars with emission features in their spectrum, which originates in circumstellar gaseous discs. Even though the viscous decretion disc (VDD) model can satisfactorily explain most observations, two…
We investigate the physical properties of the inner gaseous disks of the three, hot, Herbig B2e stars, HD 76534, HD 114981 and HD 216629, by modelling CFHT-ESPaDOns spectra using non-LTE radiative transfer codes. We assume that the emission…
