Near-infrared observations of RR Lyrae and Type II Cepheid variables in the metal-rich bulge globular cluster NGC 6441 by A. Bhardwaj et al. on Thursday 08 September NGC 6441 is a bulge globular cluster with an unusual horizontal branch morphology and a rich population of RR Lyrae (RRL) and Type II Cepheid (T2C) variables that is unexpected for its relatively high metallicity. We present near-infrared (NIR, $JHK_s$) time-series observations of 42 RRL, 8 T2Cs, and 10 eclipsing binary candidate variables in NGC 6441. The multi-epoch observations were obtained using the FLAMINGOS-2 instrument on the 8-m Gemini South telescope. Multi-band data are used to investigate pulsation properties of RRL and T2C variables including their light curves, instability strip, period--amplitude diagrams, and period--luminosity and period--wesenheit relations (PLRs and PWRs) in $JHK_s$ filters. NIR pulsation properties of RRL variables are well fitted with theoretical models that have canonical helium content and mean-metallicity of NGC 6441 ([Fe/H]$=-0.44pm0.07$~dex). The helium-enhanced RRL models predict brighter NIR magnitudes and bluer colors than the observations of RRL in the cluster. This suggests that these RRL variables in NGC 6441 are either not significantly helium enhanced as previously thought or the impact of such enhancement is smaller in NIR than the predictions of the pulsation models. We also use theoretical calibrations of RRL period--luminosity--metallicity (PLZ) relations to simultaneously estimate the mean reddening, $E(J-K_s)=0.26pm0.06$~mag, and the distance, $d=12.67pm0.09$~kpc, to NGC 6441. Our mean reddening value and the distance are consistent with the independent estimates from the bulge reddening map based on red clump stars and the latest Gaia data, respectively. Our distance and reddening values provide a very good agreement between the PLRs of T2Cs in NGC 6441 and those for RRL and T2Cs in Galactic globular clusters that span a broad range of metallicity. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.03384v1

In 2020 nuclear energy created more zero-carbon energy across the world than any other source, beating out wind, solar, and hydroelectric. While the United States is retiring more nuclear plants than it's building, China is building nuclear power plants at a breakneck speed. In most situations, Sean Kenny is not a fan of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). But the speed with which they are building nuclear power plants is something to be commended. It's a very much-needed development, seeing as China is currently the number one polluter worldwide. Not only are they building a number of PWRs (pressurized water reactors), they're also developing 4th gen nuclear reactors that will generate less waste. The reason they're doing this is due to numerous environmental disasters over the past years. An estimated 30 million Chinese citizens have died due to breathing the polluted air and in some cities, the smog is so thick you can't tell what time of day it is. It's disappointing that it took hitting this point for action to be taken, but at least it is being taken. Of course, China can only mobilize in this fashion because it is an authoritarian state that cares little for individual freedoms. We don't expect the United States to be able to mobilize on this scale and we certainly don't want it to do so at the cost of individual rights. But other countries have been able to transition to mostly nuclear (France namely), so we know it is possible to get there eventually. For now, we commend China on rolling out these nuclear plants and cleaning up their skies. #china #nuclearenergy #greenenergy #zerocarbon Check out our community tab for channel updates: https://www.youtube.com/c/RockLogicWithSeanKenny/community ======================== Want an audio-only experience on the go?
