Revisiting 2D Numerical Models for the 19th century outbursts of Carinae
We present here new results of two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of
the eruptive events of the 1840s (the great) and the 1890s (the minor)
eruptions suffered by the massive star Car. The two bipolar nebulae
commonly known as the Homunculus and the little Homunculus were formed from the
interaction of these eruptive events with the underlying stellar wind. As in
previous work (Gonzalez et al. 2004a, 2004b), we assume here an interacting,
nonspherical multiple-phase wind scenario to explain the shape and the
kinematics of both Homunculi, but adopt a more realistic parametrization of the
phases of the wind. During the 1890s eruptive event, the outflow speed {\it
decreased} for a short period of time. This fact suggests that the little
Homunculus is formed when the eruption ends, from the impact of the
post-outburst Car wind (that follows the 1890s event) with the eruptive
flow (rather than by the collision of the eruptive flow with the pre-outburst
wind, as claimed in previous models; Gonzalez et al. 2004a, 2004b). Our
simulations reproduce quite well the shape and the observed expansion speed of
the large Homunculus. The little Homunculus (which is embedded within the large
Homunculus) becomes Rayleigh-Taylor unstable and develop filamentary structures
that resembles the spatial features observed in the polar caps. In addition, we
find that the interior cavity between the two Homunculi is partially filled by
material that is expelled during the decades following the great eruption. This
result may be connected with the observed double-shell structure in the polar
lobes of the Car nebula. Finally, as in previous work, we find the
formation of tenuous, equatorial, high-speed features that seem to be related
to the observed equatorial skirt of Car.Comment: accepted for publication in MNRA
Generalized method for analysis of unbalanced diallels
Apresenta-se um procedimento generalizado de estimação das capacidades geral e especÃfica de combinação em cruzamentos dialélicos, com número desigual de repetições para tratamentos (genitores e combinações hÃbridas F1), avaliados em um delineamento com restrições na casualização. Neste caso, as médias ajustadas estimadas são interdependentes e heterocedásticas, devendo-se, para estimar os parâmetros desejados, utilizar o modelo linear generalizado de Gauss-Markov. O objetivo deste trabalho foi a dedução teórica do método e sua aplicação a um exemplo prático. Foram analisados os dados obtidos de um dialelo completo, sem os recÃprocos, envolvendo cinco genitores: CB 511687-1, CB 733753, Diamante Negro, Rosinha G-2 e Compuesto Chimaltenango 2. Os genitores CB 733753, CB 511687-1 e Diamante Negro contribuem geneticamente para a resistência, enquanto Rosinha G-2 e Compuesto Chimaltenango 2 contribuem para a suscetibilidade do feijoeiro ao crestamento-bacteriano comum. Na maioria dos cruzamentos analisados constatou-se a dominância parcial da suscetibilidade do feijoeiro a Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli.A general procedure for estimation of general and specific combining ability in diallelic crosses with unequal number of replications for treatments (parents and F1 hybrid combinations), evaluated in a design with restricted randomization, is presented. In this case, the estimates of adjusted means are interdependent and heterocedastic, demanding the use of the Gauss-Marcov generalized linear model. The objective of this study was the theoretical deduction of the model and its application to a practical example. A complete diallel crossing without reciprocals was performed, including five parents: CB 511687-1, CB 733753, Diamante Negro, Rosinha G-2 and Compuesto Chimaltenango 2. The parents CB 511687-1, CB 733753 and Diamante Negro contribute genetically for resistance while Rosinha G-2 and Compuesto Chimaltenango 2 contribute for susceptibility of dry bean to common bacterial blight. Most of the crosses analyzed showed partial dominance for susceptibility of bean to Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli
