Temperature variations of one well-known UV ceti type flare star

Temperature variations of the flare star, EV Lac, at its quiet-state luminosity were computed from its colour indices,B - V, which were measured in Johnson's system, these daily temperature changes are the essential reason of the short-term behaviour appearance in the flare star which is due to the presence of active region(s) causing a temperature difference of a few hundred degrees from the photosphere. A correlation between the annual mean of temperature variations of the flare star at its quiet-state and the annual rate of some physical parameters of the flare star at its active-state was detected. This correlation can interpret the occurrence of the long-term behaviour of the flare star at its quiescent-state as found by Mavridiset al. (1982).     

Structure of magnetogasdynamic weak shock waves

The problem of the detailed structure of magnetogasdynamic shock waves is investigated. It is assumed that the flow takes place under normal magnetic fieldH ₀ and the conductivity of the medium is considered infinite. An approximate analytical solution of the nonlinear differential equations describing the phenomena is obtained. The suggested analytical results in this paper are in good agreement with the previous numerical computations for the thickness and the velocity distribution inside the transition region. In addition, the enthalpy distribution inside the shock front is predicted.     

Interaction of ion beam with dust grains produces dust-acoustic solitary waves in Herbig-Haro objects

Properties of dust-acoustic solitary waves in a warm dusty plasma are analyzed by using the hydrodynamic model for massive dust grains, electrons, ions, and streaming ion beam. For this purpose, Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation for the first-order perturbed potential and linear inhomogeneous KdV-type equation for the second-order perturbed potential have been derived and their analytical solutions are presented. In order to show the characteristics of the dust-acoustic solitary waves are influenced by the plasma parameters, the relevant numerical analysis of the KdV and linear inhomogeneous KdV-type equations are obtained. The dust-acoustic solitary waves, as predicted here, may be associated with the nonlinear structures caused by the interaction of polar jets with the interstellar medium, which is known as Herbig-Haro objects.
