This is a beautiful villa and a garden overlooking the bay of Napoli, in a very quiet part of Anacapri. The owner and manager is the most hospitable man, always there for you, happy to give you a ride, to recommend places to go and local restaurants. Room was clean and fairly large. Fruit from the garden (figs, parsimmons, etc)are on you breakfast table daily, fresh from the tree. Lovely place to relax and enjoy the views, but be prepared to walk the narrow streets, 8 minutes to center of Anacapri up the hill. Off-season October price was very modest.

This was our second stay at Il Giardina Dell'Arte and we will most definitely be returning. Franco and his family are so warm and welcoming, willing to bend over backwards to ensure your stay is memorable and relaxing. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are large and come equipped with typical European furnishings (toilet & biday). Hairdryers are installed on the walls so you can leave yours at home. The gardens at Franco's are fabulous, you are surrounded by color throughout your stay with him. You are also within walking distance of the center of Anacapri and its delightful shops, as well as the famous Grotta Azurra (Blue Grotto) though the bus can get you there much more quickly. All in all another fabulous experience, my wife and I HIGHLY recommend Il Giardinno dell'Arte to all of our friends looking for good tips on where to go when traveling to Europe.

The property is in a beautiful setting and the gardens are lovely. I am a gardener and appreciate all the vegetation. Franco is a delightfully helpful and gracious host, a great resource for everything regarding Capri. He really provided a very high level of service, and it was hard going to other accommodations on the rest of our trip and not having the level of service that Franco provided. It was a really great experience.

Franco, the owner of the guest house, is charming and hospitable. His guest house is surrounded by gardens with a breath taking view of sunsets over the Mediterranean.

Franco was a great host. The grounds of Il Giardino are beautiful and the rooms are very nice as well. Air conditioning worked great, and we had a very good breakfast served on our terrace. Franco had lots of suggestions for us and did everything he could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We would recommend enthusiastically to anyone and if/when we go back to Capri, we will be staying at Il Giardino again without question. Thanks, Franco!

It's even more beautiful than on the pictures. The garden is just incredible and the rooms are spacious, very clean and furnished with much love to details. Excellent service (transport from and to harbour, suggestions where to go...), you can really feel that it's run by somebody who loves what he's doing. We enjoyed it very much.

Franco, whose family has been on Capri for generations, retired after 42 years with one of the most prestigious hotels on Capri. His "retirement hobby" was to build a top end bed and breakfast. I say hobby, because Franco is clearly a man with an enormous amount of energy as demonstrated by his well-run B&B and his beautiful flower and fruit gardens. This was the best stay in our 12-day trip to southern Italy. Frank is a gracious and knowledgeable host who made arrangements for us on the island for restaurants, boat tours etc. We highly recommend Il Giardino del Arte without reservation. This is actually more of a luxury boutique hotel than a b&b in many ways.

Interlagos is a middle-class neighborhood located in the district of Socorro in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Its name comes from the fact that the region is located between two large reservoirs, Guarapiranga and Billings, built in the early 20th century to supply water and electric power to the city. The suburb of Interlagos is located in the south region of São Paulo City to the right[clarification needed] edge of the Guarapiranga reservoir.
The Autódromo José Carlos Pace itself is still commonly called Interlagos, although that has not been its official name since the 1970s, and it is actually located in the district of Cidade Dutra, not Socorro.
The history of the Interlagos circuit dates back to the 1920s, when the city of São Paulo was undergoing a process of fast urbanization.

Others may think that you have a great deal of confidence at this time, but, ironically, you might feel as if you aren't standing on very solid ground. Unfortunately, it only makes matters worse when you project an air of false optimism. Instead, just be honest. It's best to let others know if you are experiencing uncertainty beneath your sunny veneer. Ultimately, everyone involved will breathe a sigh of relief once the truth is out in the open.

Bullitt - Bullitt's Apartment
Below, director Peter Yates captures one of San Francisco's many vistas on a misty morning as Bullitt heads east down Broadway from Taylor on his way to his apartment (locals will recognize he's actually heading away from his apartment).
Then ... The Bay Bridge is in the distance and there's a small twin-domed church on the left.
He drives his Mustang down Clay Street, crosses Taylor, then makes a slick reverse (below) in front of the cream Austin Healey (CitySleuth is salivating - he used to own one). Bullitt's apartment house, 1153 Taylor Street, is the dark blue house on the corner of Clay - his place is on the top floor.
Then ... looking up Clay.
Then ... At the corner market opposite his apartment he isn't above helping himself to a newspaper when he's short of change.
Then ... In the composited image below, Bullitt crosses Taylor and climbs the front steps to his apartment door.
... and Now, below are the entrance steps of 1153 Taylor leading to the building's three apartments, 1153, 1155 and 1157. Bullitt's was 1153, the door on the left, which leads up to the top floor.
Inside the apartment Cathy has breakfast in the living room. The corner window view looks east down Clay Street - San Francisco Bay and part of Yerba Buena Island can be seen in the distance.

Finding Your Soul Mate to Your Core Purpose
Last month, I received my bi-annual edition of the Ball State Alumnus magazine. The cover donned an image of the honorary Dame of the British Empire, Angela Ahrendts, soon to be Apple's new Senior Vice President of Retail and Online Stores. Hailing from the same small Indiana town, and graduating from the same college, she's truly been an inspiration to me, showing that you can get anywhere in life as long as you have the right attitude and work ethic.
I had originally seen part of Ahrendts' Alumnus feature on her LinkedIn page back in November entitled From the Heart: The Importance of Enduring Values, but her words still resonate with me. She quotes management thinker Jim Collins as saying:
"A Core Purpose is your reason for being, it captures your soul, with the primary role to guide and inspire. You cannot fulfill a Purpose, it is like a guiding star on the horizon, forever pursued but never reached."
Ahrendts goes on to discuss core values, "the soul mate of your core purpose" as she so eloquently put it. Your beliefs, conscience and convictions that stick with you throughout your life that guide your interactions and define who you are. Making sure you are living in integrity with your self-defined values is critical in setting the tone for your personal and professional successes.
Here are a few of my own core values:
Being from small-town Indiana, one of my core values is compassion. Hoosier hospitality has taught me the art of being genuinely concerned for others by being kind, empathetic and understanding. Compassion has been my guiding light to developing the capacity to forgive others and myself, to celebrate the contributions of others, and to recognize the effects my actions will have on others.
Another core value of mine is striving to be the highest authentic expression of myself. I am always working to become a better person than the one I was yesterday. Soaking up knowledge like a sponge by researching, experimenting and reflecting on how my fundamental nature can be improved to better not only myself, but the world around me.
My last core value I will share with you is truthfulness. I am committed to being open and sincere, without distortion or embellishment. Truthfulness helps me to be humble, honest and accountable. It is my driver to building my credibility and gaining trust in my peers and clients.
"Values are not like laws – you cannot break them. You can only break yourself against them."
-Mark Wright

I just finished Eclipse last night and can hardly wait for the fourth book in
the Twilight series. I went online last night to find out when that book would
be published (Aug 2) and was overjoyed to find she had written The Host. Not
only that, but the first Twilight movie will be released in December 2008! I
watched the trailer. Can't wait!
Meyer is a wonderfully talented
writer and I look forward to many more of her books.

I'm firmly LDS and a geek. Reading and writing fantasy and
sci-fi is not against the standards of the church at all. I don't read
individual books that contain offensive material, just as Meyer doesn't write
it. There's no reason the two very broad sci-fi and fantasy genres would be
considered taboo altogether. They're just stories. That would be like asking how
an orthodox LDS sports fan can justify watching football on Monday night because
the team plays on Sunday too.

Occult mschult. Writing about vampires isn't occultic. She's not teaching kids how to become vampires and suck people's blood out. She's telling a fantasy derived story. Where a young man finds himself to be a vampire, and still tries to rise above his natural tendencies to be a better being. I can't believe how overly literal people can be when it comes to FICTION.

I am LDS and served a mission and I lover her books. I have never in my
lifetime heard any teaching or anything saying books, movies or entertainment
about witches,vampires,monsters etc. is off limits. We have been told to avoid
R rated movies. There are several Christian denominations that would call her
books Occultic and evil. Similar to what they said about Harry Potter. And I
have even known a few LDS people who felt that way. However, the majority that
I know of do not feel this way. And there has never been any church position on
such matters, that I know of.

Don't forget one of the most famous sci-fi writers of all time, Orson Scott
Card, is a devout Latter-day Saint Mormon. In fact, he often incorporates some
Mormon ideas in his writing.
Also, Glen Larson, who wrote Battle
Star Galactica, was also a Mormon, and he put some pretty obvious Mormon ideas
in that show, including allusions to temple sealings, eternal marriage,etc.
Obviously, reading or writing sci-fi and fantasy novels is not against
church doctrine, as long as it is done tastefully, and doesn't promote
immorality, or other sinful behavior.
As for connections with the
occult being evil at face value, some people say Mormonism is occult. People
need to realize, the true meaning of occult is simply unknown, or hidden, secret
(sacred) wisdom. By that definition, the study of occult teachings is not
necessarily evil. Otherwise, the teachings of the Temple, which are sacred, and
thus hidden from the outside world, could be considered evil.

To Judy;
you are entitled to your opinion however how can you say I quote
"There is nothing in them that could be a role model for the many teens reading
them." when this series obviously promotes the idea of abstinence until
marriage, in a world where morality is easily exchange for money or popularity
is refreshing to find some solace in a popular book, also how about the subtle
background theme of trying to be a better person regardless of the hand you've
been dealt. Please read the series before you make such an ignorant remark.

Cognos 8 is primarily a web based reporting tool that is widely used by businesses to give its users access to required and authorized information. In most cases this information is stored in large data warehouses that are housed on common database platforms like DB2, Oracle or SQL server. This article focuses on setting up of connection between one such database platform - IBM DB2 and the Cognos 8 reporting environment. After completing the steps outlined below, you should be able to successfully access the data stored in the DB2 database through any of the reporting tools provided as part of the Cognos 8 suite. The connection process can be broadly broken down into two types of set ups. These two set ups can be viewed as independent from each other in operation but not in functionality. The steps below will provide more detailed information on each of the two set ups. The first connection set up is between the Cognos 8 server and the IBM DB2 database. The second connection set up is between the client machine that has the Framework Manger software installed on it and the IBM DB2 database. In most cases this client machine will be operated by the modeler of the Cognos 8 package. All the steps below can be classified into one of the two set ups. The connection information is accessed independently through the database client that is set up on each of the machines, therefore they also operation independently. They are dependant in functionality because the connection that is created in the Cognos Connection portal is used by the Cognos server and the client modeler machine. Like when dealing with most applications that connect to the database, you are required to create an authorized user that the Cognos 8 server can use to run the Cognos SQL generated by the reports. The steps that need to be followed on the DB2 server are: The database information stored in the DB2 client is used by the Cognos server to connect to the source database. The following steps need to be completed on the Cognos server: The database information stored in the DB2 client is used by the client machine to connect to the source database. The configuration information used is similar to the one used to set up the client on the server. The following steps need to be followed on the user modeler machine: Note: Although the metadata wizard in Cognos Frame-Work Manager shows all the sources that have been created in cognos connection, the configuration settings used to connect to the data source from frame work manager are the local settings stored on the client. The data source connections created in the cognos connection page is used by the server tools only and is in no way related to the frame work manager installed on the client machine. To add the ODBC data source on the server and client machine do the following: This final step relates to the creating the data source connection through the Cognos Connection web portal page. The user creating the connection needs to have administrative access. The connection created in this section will be available to both the web tools used by the report authors to build the reports and the data modeler designing the package. The following are the steps you need to do in Cognos Connection portal: Although, this article primarily focuses on setting up connection between IBM DB2 and Cognos 8, it is important to note that the same principle of setting up the database client on the server, the Framework Manager machine and then using the connection created in Cognos Connection portal could be applied while connecting to any other relational database like Oracle or SQL server. Mahesh Kalyanshetty is a BI Analyst for Crowe Horwath LLP. Located at Oak Brook, IL
Connecting to IBM DB2 Database Source from Cognos 8
May 1, 2009
Step 1: Creating user in the DB2 database:
Username- COGNOS_USERS Pass- Password1
Step 2: Installing the DB2 client on the Cognos server
Step 3: Installing the DB2 client on the client machine (desktop)
Step 4: Adding the ODBC data source on the server and client machine
Step 5: Creating the source database connection in Cognos Connection
This is where the user would enter in the name/name value pairs that DB2 or ODBC vendors can accept. Depending on your environment in rare cases it would be needed.
Collation sequence is required only in rare cases where there may be sorting discrepancies between IBM Cognos 8 and a database. Collation sequence is needed in situations for example if you use sorting functions such as running-totals in reports, you may need to add a collation sequence to the database connection string to maintain data integrity. Otherwise, when sorting a report that is grouped by one or more columns containing foreign characters, you may get inconsistent results. This is because without the collation sequence information, the default locale is used to sort data, whereas databases may use different collations in their sorting. To prevent sorting inconsistencies, you need to add the correct collation sequence to your database connection string when you create a data source or add a connection. If you enter a collation sequence, the syntax would be included in the connection string.
Open asynchronously check box can be selected if you want the connection to process requests independent of each other. Do not check this box if you want the connection to complete the current request before starting another one.
This is the time that the Cognos server will wait for a response from the data source)

Im asking for YOUR opinion. I can play both a tank and a mage equally well. So which do you think is best for RANKED gameplay?
Senior Member
Shen when not banned.
Shen's gonna be banned all game. Leblanc is good until late game where she can do massive damage but will die easily if focused or get survivability and not do sufficient damage.
Private Akali
http://www.grimfiend.com/demacia.html Leblanc
Brian Li
Shen is the obvious pick if he isn't banned, but LeBlanc is generally more fun to play imo - especially if there are a lot of squishy champions to faceroll. If the enemy team is tanky/off tanky I'd say Shen is better IF you can get him. Just take a look at your team composition and your enemies team composition and accommodate. Also unless you're VERY good with LeBlanc I wouldn't recommend her for ranked at higher ELO. She seems to taper off late game so you really have to impose your will early/mid and farm up kills and levels so you can stay relevant. I'd imagine if you are good with her she owns lower ELO because a lot of people don't understand how she works and therefore cannot adjust. That's one thing she has going for her.
CEO o Dbags
Easy answer = Play Shen if he's not banned, otherwise play Leblanc.

How do i find a c ranked girl to date ?
I've been trying to find but to no avail. is there a certain place i should visit where there'll be chances of finding that girl ? or just wonder around aimlessly ?
Answer from: Carter
You will encounter c ranked girls easily in the sushi bar, but you have to be higher in status (high d status) or else they will not want to talk to you. or you must spend stars on charming them. but it i would advise to do a bit more movies first for fame.

ABSTRACT: The expanding ejecta from a classical nova remains hot enough ($\sim10^{4}\, {\rm K}$) to be detected in thermal radio emission for up to years after the cessation of mass loss triggered by a thermonuclear instability on the underlying white dwarf (WD). Nebular spectroscopy of nova remnants confirms the hot temperatures observed in radio observations. During this same period, the unstable thermonuclear burning transitions to a prolonged period of stable burning of the remnant hydrogen-rich envelope, causing the WD to become, temporarily, a super-soft X-ray source. We show that photoionization heating of the expanding ejecta by the hot WD maintains the observed nearly constant temperature of $(1-4)\times10^4\mathrm{~K}$ for up to a year before an eventual decline in temperature due to either the cessation of the supersoft phase or the onset of a predominantly adiabatic expansion. We simulate the expanding ejecta using a one-zone model as well as the Cloudy spectral synthesis code, both incorporating the time-dependent WD effective temperatures for a range of masses from $0.60\ M_{\odot}$ to $1.10\ M_{\odot}$. We show that the duration of the nearly isothermal phase depends most strongly on the velocity and mass of the ejecta and that the ejecta temperature depends on the WD's effective temperature, and hence its mass.01/2015; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Type Iax supernovae are stellar explosions that are spectroscopically similar to some type Ia supernovae at the time of maximum light emission, except with lower ejecta velocities. They are also distinguished by lower luminosities. At late times, their spectroscopic properties diverge from those of other supernovae, but their composition (dominated by iron-group and intermediate-mass elements) suggests a physical connection to normal type Ia supernovae. Supernovae of type Iax are not rare; they occur at a rate between 5 and 30 per cent of the normal type Ia rate. The leading models for type Iax supernovae are thermonuclear explosions of accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs that do not completely unbind the star, implying that they are 'less successful' versions of normal type Ia supernovae, where complete stellar disruption is observed. Here we report the detection of the luminous, blue progenitor system of the type Iax SN 2012Z in deep pre-explosion imaging. The progenitor system's luminosity, colours, environment and similarity to the progenitor of the Galactic helium nova V445 Puppis suggest that SN 2012Z was the explosion of a white dwarf accreting material from a helium-star companion. Observations over the next few years, after SN 2012Z has faded, will either confirm this hypothesis or perhaps show that this supernova was actually the explosive death of a massive star.Nature 08/2014; 512(7512):54-6. · 42.35 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are thermonuclear explosions that are related to SNe Ia, but are physically distinct. The most important differences are that SNe Iax have significantly lower luminosity (1% - 50% that of typical SNe Ia), lower ejecta mass (~0.1 - 0.5 M_sun), and may leave a bound remnant. The most extreme SN Iax is SN 2008ha, which peaked at M_V = -14.2 mag, about 5 mag below that of typical SNe Ia. Here, we present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of UGC 12682, the host galaxy of SN 2008ha, taken 4.1 years after the peak brightness of SN 2008ha. In these deep, high-resolution images, we detect a source coincident (0.86 HST pixels; 0.043"; 1.1 sigma) with the position of SN 2008ha with M_F814W = -5.4 mag. We determine that this source is unlikely to be a chance coincidence, but that scenario cannot be completely ruled out. If this source is directly related to SN 2008ha, it is either the luminous bound remnant of the progenitor white dwarf or its companion star. The source is consistent with being an evolved >3 M_sun initial mass star, and is significantly redder than the SN Iax 2012Z progenitor system, the first detected progenitor system for a thermonuclear SN. If this source is the companion star for SN 2008ha, there is a diversity in SN Iax progenitor systems, perhaps related to the diversity in SN Iax explosions. If the source is the bound remnant of the white dwarf, it must have expanded significantly. Regardless of the nature of this source, we constrain the progenitor system of SN 2008ha to have an age of <80 Myr.The Astrophysical Journal 08/2014; 792(1). · 6.28 Impact Factor -
Article: Identification of the Optical Counterpart of Fermi Black Widow Millisecond Pulsar PSR J1544+4937
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report the optical identification of the companion to the {\it Fermi} black widow millisecond pulsar PSR J1544+4937. We find a highly variable source on Keck LRIS images at the nominal pulsar position, with 2 magnitude variations over orbital period in the B, g, R, and I bands. The nearly achromatic light curves are difficult to explain with a simply irradiated hemisphere model, and suggest that the optical emission is dominated by a nearly isothermal hot patch on the surface of the companion facing the pulsar. We roughly constrain the distance to PSR J1544+4937 to be between 2 and 5 kpc. A more reliable distance measurement is needed in order to constrain the composition of the companion.The Astrophysical Journal Letters 06/2014; 791(1). · 5.60 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Asteroseismology of 1.0-2.0 M ☉ red giants by the Kepler satellite has enabled the first definitive measurements of interior rotation in both first ascent red giant branch (RGB) stars and those on the helium burning clump. The inferred rotation rates are 10-30 days for the 0.2 M ☉ He degenerate cores on the RGB and 30-100 days for the He burning core in a clump star. Using the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Evolution code, we calculate state-of-the-art stellar evolution models of low mass rotating stars from the zero-age main sequence to the cooling white dwarf (WD) stage. We include transport of angular momentum due to rotationally induced instabilities and circulations, as well as magnetic fields in radiative zones (generated by the Tayler-Spruit dynamo). We find that all models fail to predict core rotation as slow as observed on the RGB and during core He burning, implying that an unmodeled angular momentum transport process must be operating on the early RGB of low mass stars. Later evolution of the star from the He burning clump to the cooling WD phase appears to be at nearly constant core angular momentum. We also incorporate the adiabatic pulsation code, ADIPLS, to explicitly highlight this shortfall when applied to a specific Kepler asteroseismic target, KIC8366239.The Astrophysical Journal 05/2014; 788(1):93. · 6.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: We search for the Fe K${\alpha}$ line in spectra of Ultra Compact X-ray Binaries (UCXBs). For this purpose we have analyzed XMM-Newton observations of five confirmed UCXBs. We find that the object 2S 0918-549 - whose optical spectrum bears tentative signatures of a C/O accretion disk - is devoid of any emission features in the 6-7 keV range, with an upper limit of less than 10 eV for the equivalent width (EW) of the iron line. 4U 1916-05 - whose optical spectrum is consistent with reflection from a He-rich accretion disk - exhibits a bright broad iron emission line. This behavior is in agreement with the theoretical predictions presented in Koliopanos, Gilfanov and Bildsten (2013). Namely, we expect strong suppression of the Fe K${\alpha}$ emission line in spectra originating in moderately bright (LogLx less than $\approx$ 37.5) UCXBs with C/O or O/Ne/Mg-rich donors. On the other hand the EW of the iron line in spectra from UCXBs with He-rich donors is expected to retain its nominal value of $\approx$ 100 eV. Our analysis also reveals a strong Fe K${\alpha}$ line in the spectrum of 4U 0614+091. This detection points towards a He-rich donor and seems to be at odds with the source's classification as C/O-rich. Nevertheless, a He-rich donor would explain the bursting activity reported for this system. Lastly, based on our theoretical predictions, we attribute the lack of a strong iron emission line - in the two remaining UCXB sources in our sample (XTE J1807-294, 4U 0513-40) - as an indication of a C/O or O/Ne/Mg white dwarf donor. From the upper limits of the Fe K${\alpha}$ line EW in 4U 0513-40, 2S 0918-549 and XTE J1807-294 we obtain a lower limit on the oxygen-to-iron ratio,O/Fe$\ge$ 10$\times$[O/Fe]$_{\odot}$.04/2014; - The Astrophysical Journal 01/2014; 782(2). · 6.28 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The iPTF detection of the most recent outburst of the recurrent nova system RX J0045.4+4154 in the Andromeda Galaxy has enabled the unprecedented study of a massive (M>1.3 $M_\odot$) accreting white dwarf (WD). We detected this nova as part of the near daily iPTF monitoring of M31 to a depth of R$\approx$21 and triggered optical photometry, spectroscopy and soft X-ray monitoring of the outburst. Peaking at an absolute magnitude of M_R$\approx$-6.6 mag, and with a decay time of 1 mag per day, it is a faint and very fast novae. It shows optical emission lines of He/N and expansion velocities of 1900 to 2600 km/s 1-4 days after the optical peak. The Swift monitoring of the X-ray evolution revealed a supersoft source (SSS) with $kT_{eff}$ $\approx$ 90-110 eV that appeared within 5 days after the optical peak, and lasted only 12 days. Most remarkably, this is not the first event from this system, rather it is a recurrent nova with a time between outbursts of approximately 1 year, the shortest known. Recurrent X-ray emission from this binary was detected by ROSAT in 1992 and 1993, and the source was well characterized as a M>1.3 $M_\odot$ WD SSS. Both the duration and effective temperature of the SS phase imply M>1.32 $M_\odot$, while MESA models of accreting WDs allow us to constrain the accretion rate to $\dot{M}>1.7\times10^{-7}$ $M_\odot$/yr and WD mass >1.32 $M_\odot$. If the WD keeps 30% of the accreted material, it will take less than a Myr to reach core densities high enough for carbon ignition (if made of C/O) or electron capture (if made of O/Ne) to end the binary evolution.The Astrophysical Journal 01/2014; 786(1). · 6.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present high-quality ULTRACAM photometry of the eclipsing detached double-white dwarf binary NLTT 11748. This system consists of a carbon/oxygen white dwarf and an extremely-low mass (< 0.2 Msun) helium-core white dwarf in a 5.6 hr orbit. To date such extremely-low mass WDs, which can have thin, stably-burning outer layers, have been modeled via poorly-constrained atmosphere and cooling calculations where uncertainties in the detailed structure can strongly influence the eventual fates of these systems when mass-transfer begins. With precise (individual precision ~1%) high-cadence (~2 s) multi-color photometry of multiple primary and secondary eclipses spanning >1.5 yr, we constrain the masses and radii of both objects in the NLTT 11748 system to a statistical uncertainty of a few percent. However, we find that overall uncertainty in the thickness of the envelope of the secondary carbon/oxygen white dwarf leads to a larger (~13%) systematic uncertainty in the primary He WD's mass. Over the full range of possible envelope thicknesses we find that our primary mass (0.136-0.162 Msun) and surface gravity (log(g)=6.32-6.38; radii are 0.0423-0.0433 Rsun) constraints do not agree with previous spectroscopic determinations. We use precise eclipse timing to detect the Romer delay at 7 sigma significance, providing an additional weak constraint on the masses and limiting the eccentricity to e*cos(omega)= -4e-5 +/- 5e-5. Finally, we use multi-color data to constrain the secondary's effective temperature (7600+/-120 K) and cooling age (1.6-1.7 Gyr).The Astrophysical Journal 11/2013; 780(2). · 6.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present our observations of SN 2010mb, a Type Ic SN lacking spectroscopic signatures of H and He. SN 2010mb has a slowly-declining light curve ($\sim600\,$days) that cannot be powered by $^{56}$Ni/$^{56}$Co radioactivity, the common energy source for Type Ic SNe. We detect signatures of interaction with hydrogen-free CSM including a blue quasi-continuum and, uniquely, narrow oxygen emission lines that require high densities ($\sim10^9$cm$^{-3}$). From the observed spectra and light curve we estimate that the amount of material involved in the interaction was $\sim3$M$_{\odot}$. Our observations are in agreement with models of pulsational pair-instability SNe described in the literature.The Astrophysical Journal 09/2013; 785(1). · 6.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examine the properties of white dwarfs (WDs) accreting hydrogen-rich matter in and near the stable burning regime of accretion rates as modeled by time-dependent calculations done with Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). We report the stability boundary for WDs of masses between 0.51 solar masses and 1.34 solar masses as found via time-dependent calculations. We also examine recurrent novae that are accreting at rates close to, but below, the stable burning limit and report their recurrence times and ignition masses. Our dense grid in accretion rates finds the expected minimum possible recurrence times as a function of the WD mass. This enables inferences to be made about the minimum WD mass possible to reach a specific recurrence time. We compare our computational models of post-outburst novae to the stably burning WDs and explicitly calculate the duration and effective temperature (Teff) of the post-novae WD in the supersoft phase. We agree with the measured turnoff time - Teff relation in M31 by Henze and collaborators, infer WD masses in the 1.0-1.3 solar masses range, and predict ejection masses consistent with those observed. We close by commenting on the importance of the hot helium layer generated by stable or unstable hydrogen burning for the short- and long-term evolution of accreting white dwarfs.The Astrophysical Journal 09/2013; 777(2). · 6.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Accreted helium layers on white dwarfs have been highlighted for many decades as a possible site for a detonation triggered by a thermonuclear runaway. In this paper, we find the minimum helium layer thickness that will sustain a steady laterally propagating detonation and show that it depends on the density and composition of the helium layer, specifically C12 and O16. Detonations in these thin helium layers have speeds slower than the Chapman-Jouget (CJ) speed from complete helium burning, v_cj=1.5e9 cm/s. Though gravitationally unbound, the ashes still have unburned helium (~ 80% in the thinnest cases) and only reach up to heavy elements such as Ca40, Ti44, Cr48, and Fe52. It is rare for these thin shells to generate large amounts of Ni56. We also find a new set of solutions that can propagate in even thinner helium layers when O16 is present at a minimum mass fraction of ~0.07. Driven by energy release from alpha captures on O16 and subsequent elements, these slow detonations only create ashes up to Si28 in the outer detonated He shell. We close by discussing how the unbound helium burning ashes may create faint and fast ".Ia" supernovae as well as events with virtually no radioactivity, and speculate on how the slower helium detonation velocities impact the off-center ignition of a carbon detonation that could cause a Type Ia supernova in the double detonation scenario.The Astrophysical Journal 08/2013; 776(2). · 6.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Non-solar composition of the donor star in ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) may have a pronounced effect on the fluorescent lines appearing in their spectra due to reprocessing of primary radiation by the accretion disc and the white dwarf surface. We show that the most dramatic and easily observable consequence of the anomalous C/O abundance is the significant, by more than an order of magnitude, attenuation of the Kα line of iron. It is caused by screening of the presence of iron by oxygen - in the C/O-dominated material the main interaction process for an E ≈ 7 keV photon is absorption by oxygen rather than by iron, contrary to the solar composition case. Ionization of oxygen at high mass accretion rates adds a luminosity dependence to this behaviour - the iron line is significantly suppressed only at low luminosity, log (LX) ≲ 37-37.5, and should recover its nominal strength at higher luminosity. The increase of the equivalent width of the Kα lines of carbon and oxygen, on the other hand, saturates at rather moderate values. Screening by He is less important, due to its low ionization threshold and because in the accretion disc it is mostly ionized. Consequently, in the case of the He-rich donor, the iron line strength remains close to its nominal value, determined by the iron abundance in the accretion disc. This opens the possibility of constraining the nature of donor stars in UCXBs by means of X-ray spectroscopy with moderate energy resolution.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 06/2013; 432(2):1264-1273. · 5.23 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The progenitor channel responsible for the majority of Type Ia supernovae is still uncertain. One emergent scenario involves the detonation of a He-rich layer surrounding a C/O white dwarf, which sends a shock wave into the core. The quasi-spherical shock wave converges and strengthens at an off-center location, forming a second, C-burning, detonation that disrupts the whole star. In this paper, we examine this second detonation of the double detonation scenario using a combination of analytic and numeric techniques. We perform a spatially resolved study of the imploding shock wave and outgoing detonation and calculate the critical imploding shock strengths needed to achieve a core C detonation. We find that He detonations in recent two-dimensional simulations yield converging shock waves that are strong enough to ignite C detonations in C/O cores, with the caveat that a truly robust answer requires multi-dimensional detonation initiation calculations. We also find that, due to the greatly increased difficulty of igniting O-burning, convergence-driven detonations in O/Ne cores are far harder to achieve and are perhaps unrealized in standard binary evolution.The Astrophysical Journal 05/2013; · 6.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report the discovery of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) using the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). RCB stars are rare hydrogen-deficient, carbon-rich supergiant variables, most likely the merger products of two white dwarfs. These new RCBs, including two confirmed ones and two candidates, are the first to be found beyond the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. All of M31 RCBs showed >1.5 mag irregular declines over timescales of weeks to months. Due to the limiting magnitude of our data (R~21-22 mag), these RCB stars have R~19.5 to 20.5 mag at maximum light, corresponding to M_R= -4 to -5, making them some of the most luminous RCBs known. Spectra of two objects show that they are warm RCBs, similar to the Milky Way RCBs RY Sgr and V854 Cen. We consider these results, derived from a pilot study of M31 variables, as an important proof-of-concept for the study of rare bright variables in nearby galaxies with the PTF or other synoptic surveys.The Astrophysical Journal Letters 03/2013; 767(2). · 5.60 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Some observations suggest that very massive stars experience extreme mass-loss episodes shortly before they explode as supernovae as do several models. Establishing a causal connection between these mass-loss episodes and the final explosion would provide a novel way to study pre-supernova massive-star evolution. Here we report observations of a mass-loss event detected 40 days before the explosion of the type IIn supernova SN 2010mc (also known as PTF 10tel).

ABSTRACT: We present optical and infrared monitoring data of SN 2012hn collected by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (PESSTO). We show that SN 2012hn has a faint peak magnitude (MR ~ -15.7) and shows no hydrogen and no clear evidence for helium in its spectral evolution. Instead, we detect prominent Ca II lines at all epochs, which relates this transient to previously described 'Ca-rich' or 'gap' transients. However, the photospheric spectra (from -3 to +32 d with respect to peak) of SN 2012hn show a series of absorption lines which are unique, and a red continuum that is likely intrinsic rather than due to extinction. Lines of Ti II and Cr II are visible. This may be a temperature effect, which could also explain the red photospheric colour. A nebular spectrum at +150d shows prominent CaII, OI, CI and possibly MgI lines which appear similar in strength to those displayed by core-collapse SNe. To add to the puzzle, SN 2012hn is located at a projected distance of 6 kpc from an E/S0 host and is not close to any obvious starforming region. Overall SN 2012hn resembles a group of faint H-poor SNe that have been discovered recently and for which a convincing and consistent physical explanation is still missing. They all appear to explode preferentially in remote locations offset from a massive host galaxy with deep limits on any dwarf host galaxies, favouring old progenitor systems. SN 2012hn adds heterogeneity to this sample of objects. We discuss potential explosion channels including He-shell detonations and double detonations of white dwarfs as well as peculiar core-collapse SNe.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 02/2013; · 5.23 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Some observations suggest that very massive stars experience extreme mass-loss episodes shortly before they explode as supernovae, as do several models. Establishing a causal connection between these mass-loss episodes and the final explosion would provide a novel way to study pre-supernova massive-star evolution. Here we report observations of a mass-loss event detected 40 days before the explosion of the type IIn supernova SN 2010mc (also known as PTF 10tel). Our photometric and spectroscopic data suggest that this event is a result of an energetic outburst, radiating at least 6 × 10(47) erg of energy and releasing about 10(-2) solar masses of material at typical velocities of 2,000 km s(-1). The temporal proximity of the mass-loss outburst and the supernova explosion implies a causal connection between them. Moreover, we find that the outburst luminosity and velocity are consistent with the predictions of the wave-driven pulsation model, and disfavour alternative suggestions.Nature 02/2013; 494(7435):65-7. · 42.35 Impact Factor -
Article: Asteroseismic classification of stellar populations among 13000 red giants observed by Kepler
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Of the more than 150000 targets followed by the Kepler Mission, about 10% were selected as red giants. Due to their high scientific value, in particular for Galaxy population studies and stellar structure and evolution, their Kepler light curves were made public in late 2011. More than 13000 (over 85%) of these stars show intrinsic flux variability caused by solar-like oscillations making them ideal for large scale asteroseismic investigations. We automatically extracted individual frequencies and measured the period spacings of the dipole modes in nearly every red giant. These measurements naturally classify the stars into various populations, such as the red giant branch, the low-mass (M/Msol < 1.8) helium-core-burning red clump, and the higher-mass (M/Msol > 1.8) secondary clump. The period spacings also reveal that a large fraction of the stars show rotationally induced frequency splittings. This sample of stars will undoubtedly provide an extremely valuable source for studying the stellar population in the direction of the Kepler field, in particular when combined with complementary spectroscopic surveys.The Astrophysical Journal Letters 02/2013; 765(2). · 5.60 Impact Factor

Williams scores 24, Hawks beat Wizards in OT
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- The Washington Wizards have lost games every way possible this season. With 19 losses in 22 games, and four rotation players missing, the Wizards can still stay close in most games.
On Tuesday night, Washington took a team to overtime for the fourth time this season - and lost yet again.
Lou Williams scored a season-high 24 points and Josh Smith had 17 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 100-95 overtime win over the Wizards.
Most of Washington's losses this season have been close. Just four have been by more than 10 points.
Coach Randy Wittman, who on Monday wondered if an exorcist could come into the Verizon Center, admitted to questioning nearly everything in his world.
"I look up every morning to make sure the sky is up there - that it's not falling in on me," Wittman said.
He took to snapping at fans who chided him for removing Nene from the game during overtime. Nene has been hampered by a left foot injury, and he's playing limited minutes. Wittman has tried to limit him to 20 minutes. On Tuesday, he played 24, but that didn't satisfy the crowd.
"I had fans heckling me," Wittman said. "They're killing me. I had to turn around and say something to them today."
Kyle Korver had 16 points and Jeff Teague added 13 as Atlanta (15-7) won for the third time in three meetings with the Wizards (3-19) this season.
Jordan Crawford had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to lead the Wizards. It was Washington's first triple-double since Crawford had one on Apr. 1, 2011. Nene scored 18 points, Bradley Beal had 17 and Martell Webster 11.
"The way we play you would think giving ourselves a fighting chance in all these games, that record should be flipped," Webster said.
After Washington took a 93-92 lead on a jumper by Earl Barron with 3:05 to play in overtime, the Hawks scored six straight points to go up five with 1:29 to play.
"It's always little things we mess up on," Barron said.
Williams hit one of two free throws to tie the score, and DeShawn Stevenson hit a 3-pointer with 2:08 left to put Atlanta back ahead for good, 96-93. After he made the shot, the former Wizard turned toward the booing crowd, waving his hand in front of his face.
"A lot of people was talking smack, so I had to bring it out," Stevenson said.
"I'm not worried about Washington, beating them. I think we've got a good thing going, and that was a big win."
Originally coach Larry Drew wanted to rest Stevenson since the Hawks were beginning a stretch of four games in five nights, but Devin Harris suffered a foot injury in the first half and didn't return.
"I had no choice but to play DeShawn," Drew said. "And I'll you what, he really stepped it up big time for me. His presence was felt immediately."
Stevenson and Al Horford each made 1 of 2 free throws, and Crawford hit a jumper with 48 seconds left to pull Washington to 98-95.
Nene had a jumper blocked by Smith with 9 seconds to play, and Korver made two free throws to cap the scoring.
Barron scored his first basket of the game with 23 seconds left in regulation to tie it at 90. He missed his previous eight field goals.
With the score tied at 58-all, Beal went up for a dunk. Smith blocked it, and Beal fell hard to the floor, stayed motionless for a few moments and left the game with 5:29 to play in the third quarter. A minute later, Beal left the floor with trainer Eric Waters.
Without Beal, the Hawks ran off a quick seven straight points on a 3-pointer and a dunk by Teague and another dunk by Smith. Beal returned to the bench a few minutes later. After three quarters, Atlanta led 72-69.
The Hawks led through nearly the entire first half with a 52-46 advantage at halftime. Beal was 6 for 7 from the field and had 12 points in the opening half.
Williams had 16 of his 24 points in the second half.
"We didn't play with a lot of energy, so I just wanted to be aggressive any time I had the ball," Williams said.
NOTES: Stevenson made a dunk late in the third quarter. His previous 25 baskets had been 3-pointers. His last 2-pointer came nine games ago on Nov. 21 against the Wizards. ... Atlanta G Anthony Morrow missed his second straight game with a sore back. ... Washington F Trevor Ariza, who has missed the last seven games with a sore left calf is improving, Wittman said, and he hopes to have him back next week. ... The Hawks host Oklahoma City on Wednesday. The Thunder are 20-4 and have won 11 straight games.
