Infrared Spectrophotometry of Transient Nova Events

伍德沃德博士将解决经典新星演化研究中的五个研究问题：(1)来自日冕和禁止发射线光谱的新星喷出物的化学丰度；(2)新星尘埃的颗粒尺寸分布和矿物组成；(3)碳-氮-氧新星和氧-霓虹灯-镁新星宽带光谱能量分布和光曲线随时间演化的差异；(4)新星喷出物的动力学研究；以及(5)喷出物的密度和质量的测量。***

Woodward, Charles 95-26486 Dr. Woodward will address five research problems in the study of classical novae evolution: (1) chemical abundances of nova ejecta from coronal and forbidden emission line spectroscopy; (2) determinations of the grain size distribution and mineral composition of nova dust; (3) differences in the temporal evolution of the broadband spectral energy distribution and light curves in the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen vs oxygen-neon- magnesium novae; (4) dynamical studies of nova ejecta; and (5) measurements of the density and masses of the ejecta. ***
