Galactic Nonlinear Dynamic Model
We develop a model for spiral galaxies based on a nonlinear realization of
the Newtonian dynamics starting from the momentum and mass conservations in the
phase space. The radial solution exhibits a rotation curve in qualitative
accordance with the observational data.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure. Talk given in the 7th Alexander Friedmann

Giant planets around two intermediate-mass evolved stars and confirmation of the planetary nature of HIP67851 c
Precision radial velocities are required to discover and characterize planets
orbiting nearby stars. Optical and near infrared spectra that exhibit many
hundreds of absorption lines can allow the m/s precision levels required for
such work. However, this means that studies have generally focused on
solar-type dwarf stars. After the main-sequence, intermediate-mass stars
(former A-F stars) expand and rotate slower than their progenitors, thus
thousands of narrow absorption lines appear in the optical region, permitting
the search for planetary Doppler signals in the data for these types of stars.
We present the discovery of two giant planets around the intermediate-mass
evolved star HIP65891 and HIP107773. The best Keplerian fit to the HIP65891 and
HIP107773 radial velocities leads to the following orbital parameters: P=1084.5
d; msin = 6.0 M; =0.13 and P=144.3 d; msin = 2.0
M; =0.09, respectively. In addition, we confirm the planetary nature
of the outer object orbiting the giant star HIP67851. The orbital parameters of
HIP67851c are: P=2131.8 d, msin = 6.0 M and =0.17. With
masses of 2.5 M and 2.4 M HIP65891 and HIP107773 are two of the
most massive stars known to host planets. Additionally, HIP67851 is one of five
giant stars that are known to host a planetary system having a close-in planet
( 0.7 AU). Based on the evolutionary states of those five stars, we
conclude that close-in planets do exist in multiple systems around subgiants
and slightly evolved giants stars, but probably they are subsequently destroyed
by the stellar envelope during the ascent of the red giant branch phase. As a
consequence, planetary systems with close-in objects are not found around
horizontal branch stars.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&
Search for associations containing young stars (SACY). V. Is multiplicity universal? Tight multiple systems
Context: Dynamically undisrupted, young populations of stars are crucial to
study the role of multiplicity in relation to star formation. Loose nearby
associations provide us with a great sample of close (150 pc) Pre-Main
Sequence (PMS) stars across the very important age range (5-70 Myr) to
conduct such research.
Aims: We characterize the short period multiplicity fraction of the SACY
(Search for Associations Containing Young stars) accounting for any
identifiable bias in our techniques and present the role of multiplicity
fractions of the SACY sample in the context of star formation.
Methods: Using the cross-correlation technique we identified double-lined
spectroscopic systems (SB2), in addition to this we computed Radial Velocity
(RV) values for our subsample of SACY targets using several epochs of FEROS and
UVES data. These values were used to revise the membership of each association
then combined with archival data to determine significant RV variations across
different data epochs characteristic of multiplicity; single-lined multiple
systems (SB1).
Results: We identified 7 new multiple systems (SB1s: 5, SB2s: 2). We find no
significant difference between the short period multiplicity fraction
() of the SACY sample and that of nearby star forming regions
(1-2 Myr) and the field (10%) both as a function of
age and as a function of primary mass, , in the ranges [1:200 day] and
[0.08 -].
Conclusions: Our results are consistent with the picture of universal star
formation, when compared to the field and nearby star forming regions (SFRs).
We comment on the implications of the relationship between increasing
multiplicity fraction with primary mass, within the close companion range, in
relation to star formation.Comment: 14 pages, 18 figures, published, A&A
