    Data management projects that result in a lot of errors in the calculation of the value of ongoing projects, the needs of the necessary materials and material expenditures, doubling the data (redundancy data) because often repeated each time recording a procurement process or the preparation of the report either daily / monthly. The absence of good data base management hinder the process of delivering information to the leader and partner. The purpose of this final project is to build a system that is able to improve materials procurement services to partners, may determine material requirements and support management activities. The stages of the development of systems that use the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with stages of system analysis, system design, system implementation and system maintenance. The results of this system is a system that is capable of handling data collection materials, data collection partner, material procurement transactions, project transactions, transaction expenses and manufacturing materials materials procurement reports

    Massive stars reveal variations of the stellar initial mass function in the Milky Way stellar clusters

    Full text link
    We investigate whether the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is universal, or whether it varies significantly among young stellar clusters in the Milky Way. We propose a method to uncover the range of variation of the parameters that describe the shape of the IMF for the population of young Galactic clusters. These parameters are the slopes in the low and high stellar mass regimes, γ\gamma and Γ\Gamma, respectively, and the characteristic mass, MchM_{ch}. The method relies exclusively on the high mass content of the clusters, but is able to yield information on the distributions of parameters that describe the IMF over the entire stellar mass range. This is achieved by comparing the fractions of single and lonely massive O stars in a recent catalog of the Milky Way clusters with a library of simulated clusters built with various distribution functions of the IMF parameters. The synthetic clusters are corrected for the effects of the binary population, stellar evolution, sample incompleteness, and ejected O stars. Our findings indicate that broad distributions of the IMF parameters are required in order to reproduce the fractions of single and lonely O stars in Galactic clusters. They also do not lend support to the existence of a cluster mass-maximum stellar mass relation. We propose a probabilistic formulation of the IMF whereby the parameters of the IMF are described by Gaussian distribution functions centered around γ=0.91\gamma=0.91, Γ=1.37\Gamma=1.37, and Mch=0.41M_{ch}=0.41 M_{\odot}, and with dispersions of σγ=0.25\sigma_{\gamma}=0.25, σΓ=0.60\sigma_{\Gamma}=0.60, and σMch=0.27\sigma_{M_{ch}}=0.27 M_{\odot} around these values.Comment: Accepted to MNRAS, 17 pages, 13 figures.

    The inner wind of IRC+10216 revisited: New exotic chemistry and diagnostic for dust condensation in carbon stars

    Aims. We model the chemistry of the inner wind of the carbon star IRC+10216 and consider the effect of periodic shocks induced by the stellar pulsation on the gas to follow the non-equilibrium chemistry in the shocked gas layers. We consider a very complete set of chemical families, including hydrocarbons and aromatics, hydrides, halogens and phosphorous-bearing species. Derived abundances are compared to the latest observational data from large surveys and Herschel. Results. The shocks induce a non-equilibrium chemistry in the dust formation zone of IRC+10216 where the collision destruction of CO in the post-shock gas triggers the formation of O-bearing species (H2O, SiO). Most of the modelled abundances agree very well with the latest values derived from Herschel data on IRC+10216. Hydrides form a family of abundant species that are expelled into the intermediate envelope. In particular, HF traps all the atomic fluorine in the dust formation zone. Halogens are also abundant and their chemistry is independent of the C/O ratio of the star. Therefore, HCl and other Cl-bearing species should also be present in the inner wind of O-rich AGB or supergiant stars. We identify a specific region ranging from 2.5 R* to 4 R*, where polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons form and grow. The estimated carbon dust-to-gas mass ratio derived from the mass of aromatics ranges from 1.2 x 10^(-3) to 5.8 x 10^{-3} and agrees well with existing observational values. The aromatic formation region is located outside hot layers where SiC2 is produced as a bi-product of silicon carbide dust synthesis. Finally, we predict that some molecular lines will show flux variation with pulsation phase and time (e.g., H2O) while other species will not (e.g., CO). These variations merely reflect the non-equilibrium chemistry that destroys and reforms molecules over a pulsation period in the shocked gas of the dust formation zone.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures.

    We present 10 and 20 micron images of IRAS 19500-1709 taken with the mid-infrared camera, OSCIR, mounted on the Gemini North Telescope. We use a 2-D dust radiation transport code to fit the spectral energy distribution from UV to sub-mm wavelengths and to simulate the images.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures.

    A representative sample of Be stars III: H band spectroscopy

    Get PDF
    We present H band (1.53 - 1.69 micron) spectra of 57 isolated Be stars of spectral types O9-B9 and luminosity classes III,IV & V. The HI Brackett (n-4) series is seen in emission from Br 11-18, and FeII emission is also apparent for a subset of those stars with HI emission. No emission from species with a higher excitation temperature, such as He II or CIII is seen, and no forbidden line emission is present. A subset of 12 stars show no evidence for emission from any species; these stars appear indistinguishable from normal B stars of a comparable spectral type. In general the line ratios constructed from the transitions in the range Br 11-18 do not fit case B recombination theory particularly well. Strong correlations between the line ratios with Br-gamma and spectral type are found. These results most likely represent systematic variations in the temperature and ionization of the circumstellar disc with spectral type. Weak correlations between the line widths and projected rotational velocity of the stars are observed; however no systematic trend for increasing line width through the Brackett series is observed.Comment: accepted for publication in A&A (this version correctly formatted

    Simultaneously modelling far-infrared dust emission and its relation to CO emission in star forming galaxies

    Full text link
    We present a method to simultaneously model the dust far-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) and the total infrared - carbon monoxide (CO) integrated intensity (SIRICO)(S_{\rm IR}-I_{\rm CO}) relationship. The modelling employs a hierarchical Bayesian (HB) technique to estimate the dust surface density, temperature (TeffT_{\rm eff}), and spectral index at each pixel from the observed far-infrared (FIR) maps. Additionally, given the corresponding CO map, the method simultaneously estimates the slope and intercept between the FIR and CO intensities, which are global properties of the observed source. The model accounts for correlated and uncorrelated uncertainties, such as those present in Herschel observations. Using synthetic datasets, we demonstrate the accuracy of the HB method, and contrast the results with common non-hierarchical fitting methods. As an initial application, we model the dust and gas on 100 pc scales in the Magellanic Clouds from Herschel FIR and NANTEN CO observations. The slopes of the logSIRlogICO\log S_{\rm IR}-\log I_{\rm CO} relationship are similar in both galaxies, falling in the range 1.1-1.7. However, in the SMC the intercept is nearly 3 times higher, which can be explained by its lower metallicity than the LMC, resulting in a larger SIRS_{\rm IR} per unit ICOI_{\rm CO}. The HB modelling evidences an increase in TeffT_{\rm eff} in regions with the highest ICOI_{\rm CO} in the LMC. This may be due to enhanced dust heating in the densest molecular regions from young stars. Such simultaneous dust and gas modelling may reveal variations in the properties of the ISM and its association with other galactic characteristics, such as star formation rates and/or metallicities.Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures, Updated to match MNRAS accepted versio

    Condensation of MgS in outflows from carbon stars

    Full text link
    The basic mechanism responsible for the widespread condensation of MgS in the outflows from carbon rich stars on the tip of the AGB is discussed with the aim of developing a condensation model that can be applied in model calculations of dust formation in stellar winds. The different possibilities how MgS may be formed in the chemical environment of outflows from carbon stars are explored by some thermochemical calculations and by a detailed analysis of the growth kinetics of grains in stellar winds. The optical properties of core-mantle grains with a MgS mantle are calculated to demonstrate that such grains reproduce the structure of the observed 30 μ\mum feature. These considerations are complemented by model calculations of circumstellar dust shells around carbon stars. It is argued that MgS is formed via precipitation on silicon carbide grains. This formation mechanism explains some of the basic observed features of MgS condensation in dust shells around carbon stars. A weak secondary peak at about 33 ... 36 μ\mum is shown to exist in certain cases if MgS forms a coating on SiC.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure

    Probing the Dust Properties of Galaxies up to Submillimetre Wavelengths I. The Spectral Energy Distribution of dwarf galaxies using LABOCA

    Get PDF
    We present 870 micron images of four low metallicity galaxies (NGC1705, Haro11, Mrk1089 and UM311) observed with the Large APEX BOlometer CAmera (LABOCA). We model their spectral energy distributions combining the submm observations of LABOCA, 2MASS, IRAS, Spitzer photometric data and the IRS data for Haro11. We find that a significant mass of dust is revealed when using submm constraints compared to that measured with only mid-IR to far-IR observations extending only to 160 microns. For NGC1705 and Haro11, an excess in submillimeter wavelengths is detected and we rerun our SED procedure adding a cold dust component (10K) to better describe the high 870 micron flux derived from LABOCA observations, which significantly improves the fit. We find that at least 70% of the dust mass of these two galaxies can reside in a cold dust component. We also show that the subsequent dust-to-gas mass ratios, considering HI and CO observations, can be strikingly high for Haro11 in comparison with what is usually expected for these low-metallicity environments. Furthermore, we derive the SFR of our galaxies and compare them to the Schmidt law. Haro11 falls anomalously far from the Schmidt relation. These results may suggest that a reservoir of hidden gas could be present in molecular form not traced by the current CO observations. We also derive the total IR luminosities derived from our models and compare them with relations that derive this luminosity from Spitzer bands. We find that the Draine & Li (2007) formula compares well to our direct IR determinations.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures, 10 tables, accepted for publication in A&
