Reanalysis of two eclipsing binaries: EE Aqr and Z Vul
We study the radial-velocity and light curves of the two eclipsing binaries
EE Aqr and Z Vul. Using the latest version of the Wilson & Van Hamme (2003)
model, absolute parameters for the systems are determined. We find that EE Aqr
and Z Vul are near-contact and semi-detached systems, respectively. The primary
component of EE Aqr fills about 96% of its 'Roche lobe', while its secondary
one appears close to completely filling this limiting volume. In a similar way,
we find fill-out proportions of about 72 and 100% of these volumes for the
primary and secondary components of Z Vul respectively. We compare our results
with those of previous authors.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, 10 table
Should science educators deal with the science/religion issue?
I begin by examining the natures of science and religion before looking at the ways in which they relate to one another. I then look at a number of case studies that centre on the relationships between science and religion, including attempts to find mechanisms for divine action in quantum theory and chaos theory, creationism, genetic engineering and the writings of Richard Dawkins. Finally, I consider some of the pedagogical issues that would need to be considered if the science/religion issue is to be addressed in the classroom. I conclude that there are increasing arguments in favour of science educators teaching about the science/religion issue. The principal reason for this is to help students better to learn science. However, such teaching makes greater demands on science educators than has generally been the case. Certain of these demands are identified and some specific suggestions are made as to how a science educator might deal with the science/religion issue. © 2008 Taylor & Francis
