    Spectroscopic binaries with elliptical orbits

    Full text link
    The radial velocity curves of many spectroscopic binaries (SBs) are perturbed by gas streams or proximity effects. For SBs with circular orbits, these perturbations can give rise to spurious orbital eccentricities of high statistical significance. But tests to identify such anomalous orbits can be constructed since perturbed velocity curves are in general no longer Keplerian. The derived tests are applied both to synthetic and to observed velocity curves.Comment: 9pages,3figures,accepted by A&

    Bayesian inference for orbital eccentricities

    Full text link
    Highest posterior density intervals (HPDI's) are derived for the true eccentricities of spectroscopic binaries with measured values e ~ 0. These yield upper limits when e is below the detection threshold e_th and seamlessly transform to upper and lower bounds when e > e_th. In the main text, HPDI's are computed with an informative eccentricity prior representing orbital decay due to tidal dissipation. In an appendix, the corresponding HPDI's are computed with a uniform prior and are the basis for a revised version of the Lucy-Sweeney test, with the previous outcome e = 0 now replaced by an upper limit. Sampling experiments with known prior confirm the validity of the HPDI's.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures. Error in terminology corrected. Results unchanged. Accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysic

    Industrijska fotografija - svijet rada i proizvodnje

    Pojava industrijske, dokumentarne fotografije datira iz druge polovice 19. st., ali ni do danas nije u potpunosti istražena. Riječ je o posebnom području primijenjene fotografije u kojemu je sadržaj važniji od forme i koje pruža manje mogućnosti za osobno izražavanje fotografa i njegovu umjetničku kreativnost. NajčeŔće je nastajala prema narudžbi poslovnih subjekata ili države, unutar tvornice ili postrojenja, a na njoj su motivi industrijskih kompleksa, tvorničkih pogona, proizvodnih procesa, radnika u radnom okružju i konačnih rezultata proizvodnje. Angažirani fotograf mora potpuno ovladati fotografskom tehnikom i dobro poznavati materiju snimanja. Primjenjuje se za različite svrhe: za predstavljanje tvornice ili industrijskog kompleksa javnosti, kao sastavni dio obavijesti za različite medije i za izradu promotivnih materijala
