OPTICAL MONITORING OF NGC4151 DURING 110 YEARS
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2016, Vol 29, Issue
Abstract
We present the historical light curve of NGC 4151 for 1906–2016. The light curve (Oknyanskij and Lyuty, 2007) is primarily based on our published photoelectric data (1968–2007, about 1040 nightly mean measurements (Oknyanskij and Lyuty, 2007)) and photographic estimates (mostlyOdessaandMoscowplates taken in 1906 – 1982 (Oknyanskij, 1978, 1983), about 350 measurements). Additionally, we include all data obtained prior to 1968 (de Vaucouleurs and de Vaucouleurs, 1968; Barnes 1968; Sandage, 1967; Wisniewski and Kleinmann, 1968; Fitch et al., 1967) in total, 19 photoelectric observations from 1958–1967, were reduced by us to the same diaphragm aperture as that used in our measurements) as well as photographic data (Pacholczyk et al., 1983) (Harvard and Steward observatories' patrol plates taken in 1910–1968, about 210 measurements). The light curve includes our old and new photometrical data obtained during last years at SAI, ShAO and Weihai Observatory as well as other published data (Roberts and Rumstey, 2012; Schnülle et al., 2015). All these data were reduced to an uniform photometric system. Applying Fourier (CLEAN algorithm) we have found periodic component ~16 years in the 110 years light curve. 40 years ago about the same "period" was firstly reviled fromOdessa's photometrical data (Oknyanskij, 1977; 1978). This “period” seen in the light curve was then found independently in the spectral variability and interpreted as a case of the supermassive binary black hole (Bon et al., 2012). We interpret these circles as some accretion dynamic time.

THE MODEL FOR FINAL STAGE OF GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE MASSLESS SCALAR FIELD
It is known that in General relativity, for some spherically symmetric initial conditions, the massless scalar field (SF) experience the gravitational collapse (Choptuik, 1989), and arise a black hole (BH). According Bek...

PHASE PLANE ANALYSIS OF THE PHOTOMETRICAL VARIATIONS OF LONG-PERIOD VARIABLES
Using the phase plane diagrams, the phase light curves of a group of the Mira-type stars and semi-regular variables are analyzed. As generalized coordinates х and ẋ, we have used m – the brightne...

HOT DENSE MAGNETIZED SPINOR MATTER IN PARTICLE AND ASTROPARICLE PHYSICS: THE ROLE OF BOUNDARIES
We study the influence of boundaries on chiral effects in hot dense relativistic spinor matter in a strong magnetic field which is orthogonal to the boundaries. The most general set of boundary conditions ensuring the co...
