Um estudo sobre o momentum angular total de estrelas com planetas

Since Michel Mayor and his student Didier Queloz s pioneer announcement, in 1995, of the existence of a planet orbiting the star 51 Peg, up to present date, 695 extrasolar planets orbiting stars of spectral type F, G, K and M have been discovered. A study on the behavior of the total angular momentum of the planetary systems known up to present date becomes relevant when we know that about 98% of the angular momentum of the solar system is associated with the planets, although they represent only 0.15 percent of the mass of the whole system. In this dissertation we study the behavior of stellar angular momentum, orbital angular momentum and total angular momentum in a sample of 282 stars harboring planets, including 40 multiple systems. We observed that planetary systems containing more than one known planet have both higher orbital angular momentum and total angular momentum compared to those who have only one planet. This analysis shows that multiplanet systems tend to have higher momenta, suggesting that the planets in such systems that contribute to the greater portion momenta have been found. Thus, planetary systems with lower values for the momenta represent the best candidates to the discovery of new planets

Caracterização infravermelho e distribuição espectral de energia para as estrelas com planetas

Neste trabalho estudamos o comportamento das estrelas pertencentes a sistemas planetários no que diz respeito às suas características infravermelho e à distribuição espectral de energia (SED). Nosso estudo tem como base uma análise detalhada do comportamento da emissão no infravermelho de 48 estrelas com planetas, classificadas como estrelas da seqüência principal, subgigantes ou gigantes. Foram analisados dados de fotometria infravermelho nas bandas 12, 25 e 60µm do catálogo de fontes IRAS puntiformes (IPSC) e nas bandas JHK do projeto 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). A partir do cálculo da discrepância na posição de apontamento da fonte e do cálculo do índice de cor, selecionamos e localizamos os objetos no diagrama de cor-cor do IRAS. Este diagrama permite-nos identificar possíveis objetos detentores de disco de poeira. Fizemos também uma análise da distribuição espectral de energia onde observamos também traços de excesso de fluxo no infravermelho, com isso, confirmarmos a presença do disco de poeira nos objetos identificados no diagrama de cor. Apesar da atual amostra de estrelas com planetas incluir apenas um subconjunto de estrelas com planetas detectadas na vizinhança solar, a presente análise do fluxo infravermelho nesses objetos oferecem uma possibilidade única de estudar as características infravermelho das estrelas pertencentes aos sistemas planetários extra-solar. Neste contexto, nosso estudo aponta resultados interessantes, entre outros destacamos o fato de algumas estrelas com planetas apresentarem um peculiar fluxo IRAS [60-25], indicando a co-existência de poeira juntamente com os planetas destes sistemas extra solar

Em busca de um novo indicador Espectroscópico do período de rotação das Estrelas do tipo solar

The study of sunspots consistently contributed to a better understanding of magnetic phenomena of the Sun, as its activity. It was found with the dynamics of sunspots that the Sun has a rotation period of twenty-seven days around your axis. With the help of Project Sun-As-A-Star that solar spectra obtained for more than thirty years we observed oscillations of both the depth of the spectral line and its equivalent width, and analysis of the return information about the characteristics of solar magnetism. It also aims to find patterns of solar magnetic activity cycle and the average period of rotation of the Sun will indicate the spectral lines that are sensitive to magnetic activity and which are not. Sensitive lines how Ti II 5381.0 Å stands as the best indicator of the solar rotation period and also shows different periods of rotation cycles of minimum and maximum magnetic activity. It is the first time we observe clearly distinct rotation periods in the different cycles. The analysis also shows that Ca II 8542.1 Å and HI 6562.0 Å indicate the cycle of magnetic activity of eleven years. Some spectral lines no indicated connection with solar activity, this result can help us search for programs planets using spectroscopic models. Data analysis was performed using the Lomb-Scargle method that makes the time series analysis for unequally spaced data. Observe different rotation periods in the cycles of magnetic activity accounts for a discussion has been debated for many decades. We verified that spectroscopy can also specify the period of stellar rotation, thus being able to generalize the method to other stars

Prevalência e fatores associados a lesões labiais e periorais decorrentes da exposição solar em trabalhadores de praia

This study aimed to verify the prevalence of lip and perioral lesions in worker who were under sunshine on the beaches of Natal/RN and to investigate possible associations of these with sociodemographic, occupational and general health variables. For this, 362 individuals who had one of the urban beaches (Ponta Negra / Environment / Redinha) in the city of Natal/RN as a working environment in the study. We excluded people under 18 years old. Data collection was done through epidemiological analysis and extra-oral validated questionnaire with questions that characterize socioeconomic and demographic factors, occupational exposure and general health. The male subjects (72.6%) were the majority in the sample. The people who worked directly exposed to high peaks of ultraviolet radiation, as well as informal workers predominated. Considering the total sample of individuals, ephelides in the perioral region (33.7%) and labial region (24.0%), solar lentigo perioral (15.2%) and actinic cheilitis (13.8%) stood out as the most prevalent lesions. Indoor workers and those who had a habit occurrence of injuries by 19% and 21% respectively higher when compared to outdoor workers and people without habits. The variable use of cap / hat was associated with the presence of cold sores (Qui2 = 1,328, p = 0,058). On the threshold of significance, the type of work was also associated with lesions in lip occurrence (p = 0,042). Men showed a lower incidence of perioral lesions when compared to female workers (PR=0,716, p valor = 0,002). The present study showed high prevalence of lip and perioral lesions. The premalignant lesions were the most identified, both as in lip skin. It is important therefore to be encouraged to adopt protective measures against excessive sun exposure, fairly and consistently
