I was in the final stretch of last work before writing my essay. The student, who was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D. program, went on to s ay, “I see people from your group working so much, putting in extra hours, even at night.” It set me thinking a lot.As a first-year Ph.D. student, I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student. I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers. As a student from Colombia, I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of, I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand, and I was older than most of the people in my cohort.I noticed that most of the people around me seemed to be working all the time. I began to spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab. But my strategy didn’t work. I crashed from burnout. The tiredness took a toll on my productivity and motivation. During one of many mindless Sundays in the office, I realized I’d fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues’ work habits were the standard for belonging and being worthy of respect —and it wasn’t sustainable.From then on, I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in, leaving space every day for exercising and doing activities that I enjoyed. Eventually, I realized nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t something I needed to worry about.I noticed that having more time for myself made me more rested and motivated when I went back to work. I continued quietly along this path for years, until that conversation in the hallway. So, when I ran into her again, weeks later, I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D., I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t working overtime. I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine.14. What can we learn about the student?A.He spent much time in lab work. B.He had finished the Ph.D. program.C.He was concerned about the author. D.He was putting in extra hours at night. 15.

However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color.Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes —it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “T hus,we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”18. The primary purpose of the study is to ________.A.restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB.determine the substance making up the foliumC.prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD.identify which class of color folium belongs to19. The underlined phrase “poring over” in the second paragraph means ________.A.discussing publicly B.testing repeatedlyC.passing directly D.reading carefully20. What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A.It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B.It was the only kind made from wild berries.C.It could be carried and used easily.D.It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.21. The article is mainly about _________.A.how the mystery of a thousand-year-old blue dye was solvedB.why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC.what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD.when and where the discovery of the dye was madeThe Human Spark“What is civilization?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now. ”And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院).It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s collapsing steeple is in fact profoundly human – and in a particularly 21st-century way.It is not just the economy that is global today, it is culture too. People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building onwhose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself.This visual age has endowed beauty with new power, and social media have turned great works of art into superstars. Only a few, though, have achieved this status. Just as there is only ever a handful of world-famous actors, so the pantheon of globally recognizable cultural symbols is tiny: the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo’s David, the Taj Mahal, the Great P yramid – and Notre Dame. Disaster, too, is visual. In the 24 hours after the fire started, videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Nobody could look up into that vaulted ceiling without wondering at the genius of the thousands of anonymous craftsmen who, over a century and a half, realized a vision so grand in its structure and so delicate in its detail. Its survival through war and revolution connects the present to the past.The fire also binds people to each other. The outpouring of emotion it has brought forth is proof that we are all in it together. When nationalism is a rising threat, shared sadness makes borders suddenly irrelevant; a love of culture has the power to unite. When extremism divides Muslim from Christian and religious people from non-religious, those of all faiths and none are mourning together.And it will be rebuilt. The morning after the fire, the many Parisians who went to the cathedral to mourn its destruction found comfort instead. Although the spire is gone, the towers are still standing and it seems likely that the whole building can be revived. The effort to rebuild it, like the fire, will bring people together. Within 24 hours, €600m ($677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people, and a rash of crowdfunding campaigns started. A high-resolution laser scan of the building, carried out recently, should help.It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrote in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, “Great edifices, like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made...Time is the architect. The nation is the builder.”22. According to the author, ______.A.we should not care more about a building than we do about peopleB.it’s understandable that the floods in Africa has attracted more attentionC.it’s human for people to feel deeply sorry for the destruction of Notre DameD.people are supposed to feel guilty if they are more concerned about buildings23. In 21st century, what make great works of art even more popular?A.The beauty of art and value of cultureB.People’s search for jobs and sense of securityC.The expression of humanity and amazing craftsmanshipD.The arrival of visual age and popularity of social media24. The author believes that culture ______.A.is an expression of humanity at its collective bestB.arouses emotions and reminds people what they are losingC.brings people together regardless of their nationality and religious beliefD.threatens the outpouring of emotions and makes people’s sadness irrelevant25. Which word can best describe the writer’s attitude towards the rebuilding of Notre Dame?A.Positive B.Negative C.Neutral D.ConcernedArt comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 26 . It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.Realistic art is easy to understand. Viewers can easily recognize what is portrayed. Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. 27 , helping us to learn about the past.Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 28 . They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.29 . Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging. 30 .注意:1) 每组多余一个词;2)所填词可能有时态、词性和单复数的变化;3)每词限用一次,每空仅填一个词。

佛耶戈英语作文In the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, there lies a city where history and modernity blend seamlessly, where the echoes of the past meet the whispers of the future. This city is Vigo, a place where the Atlantic Ocean kisses the shores of Spain, and where the language of the world is spoken through the universal dialect of English.Vigo's story is not just written in the stones of its ancient streets or the walls of its storied buildings; it is also narrated by its people. They are the custodians of a rich cultural heritage, a people whose resilience and warmth are as renowned as the city's famed seafood cuisine. The spirit of Vigo is not captured through mere observation; it is experienced through interaction, through the exchange of words and ideas in English, the lingua franca of our global village.The city's educational institutions stand as beacons of learning, where English is not just taught as a subject but embraced as a key to unlocking opportunities and bridging cultures. In classrooms overlooking the sea, students from diverse backgrounds come together, their voices merging in a symphony of accents, all united by their desire to master English.Vigo's commitment to English education is evident in its approach to teaching. Here, language is not confined to textbooks; it is brought to life through innovative methods that encourage active participation and real-world application. Students engage in debates, perform in plays, and participate in community projects, all in English, fostering not only linguistic proficiency but also critical thinking and empathy.The city's embrace of English extends beyond the classroom. It is present in the international conferences that convene within its convention centers, in the business deals struck in its bustling port, and in the casual conversations between locals and tourists on the sun-drenched terraces of cafés.Vigo's narrative is one of transformation, a testament to the power of language to connect and empower. It is a narrative that continues to evolve, as each generation ofVigueses takes up the mantle of English proficiency, ensuring that their city remains a vibrant participant in the global dialogue.As the sun sets over the Ria de Vigo, casting a golden glow over the city, one can hear the laughter of children playing in the plazas, the chatter of friends sharing stories, and the murmur of students pondering their futures. All these sounds are woven together by the common thread of English, a language that in Vigo, is more than a means of communication—it is a bridge to the world.In this city, where the old fortresses stand guard over new horizons, English is the key that unlocks the gates to global citizenship. It is the language that allows Vigueses to share their heritage with the world and, in turn, to bring the world back to Vigo.Through the study and use of English, Vigo continues to write its story, a narrative of progress and hope, of a city that looks outward to the sea and beyond, ready to play its part on the world stage. And as the night descends and the stars emerge, one can sense the promise of tomorrow, a promise spoken in the universal language of English, echoing through the streets of Vigo. 。

the cask of Amontillado Edgar Allan Poe阿芒提拉多的水桶埃德加艾伦坡福吐纳托对我百般迫害,我都尽量忍在心头,可是一旦他胆敢侮辱我,我就发誓要报仇了,您早就摸熟我生性脾气,总不见得当我说说吓唬人。
总有一天我要报仇雪恨;这个注意坚定不移,既然拿定主意不改,就没想到会出危险。
我不仅要给他吃吃苦头,还要干得绝了后患。
报仇的自己得到报应,这笔仇就没了清。
复仇的不让冤家知道是谁害他,这笔仇也没了清。
不消说,我一言一语,一举一动都没引起福吐纳托怀疑是存心不良。
还是照常对他笑脸相迎,可他没看出如今我是想到要送他命才笑呢。
福吐纳托这人在某些方面虽令人尊重,甚至令人敬畏,可就是有个弱点。
他自夸是品酒老手。
意大利人没几个具有真正行家的气质。
他们的热诚,多半都用来随机应变,看风使舵,好让英国和奥地利的大财主上当。
谈到古画和珠宝方面,福吐纳托跟他同胞一样,夸夸其谈,不过谈到陈酒方面,倒是真正识货。
这点我跟他大致相同——对意大利葡萄酒,我也算内行,只要办得到的话,就大量买进。
在热闹的狂欢节里,有天傍晚,正当暮色苍茫,我碰到了这位朋友。
他亲热的招呼我,因为他肚里灌饱了酒。
这家伙扮成小丑,身穿杂色条纹紧身衣,头戴圆尖帽,上面系着铃铛。
我看见他真是高兴极了,不由想握着他的手久久不放。
我对他说:“老兄啊,幸会,幸会。
你今天气色真是好到极点。
我弄到一大桶所谓白葡萄酒(西班牙蒙蒂利亚生产的一种甜酒),可我不放心。
”“怎的?”他说,“白葡萄酒?一大桶?不见得吧!在狂欢节期间哪弄得到?”“我不放心,”我答道,“我真笨透了,居然没跟你商量,就照白葡萄酒的价钱全付清了。
找又找不到你,可又生怕错过这笔买卖。
”“白葡萄酒!”“我不放心。
”“白葡萄酒!”“我一定得放下这条心!”“白葡萄酒!”“瞧你有事,我正想去找卢克雷西呢。
只有他才能品酒。
他会告诉我——”“可有些傻瓜硬说他眼力跟你不相上下呢。
”“快,咱们走吧。
The Historical Figure Through My EyesHistory is a vast tapestry woven with the threads of countless lives, each with its own unique hue and texture. Among the myriad figures that have shaped the course of our past, some stand out with a particular brilliance, capturing the imagination of generations. One such figure, who has always fascinated me, is Leonardo da Vinci. His life and works offer a glimpse into the boundless potential of the human spirit.Growing up, I was always drawn to stories of the Renaissance, a period of rebirth in art, science, and thought. It was a time when the world was rediscovering the wisdom of the ancients and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Leonardo da Vinci was not only a product of this era but also a driving force behind its progress. His insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge made him a true polymath.Da Vincis journey began in the small town of Vinci, Italy, where he was born out of wedlock to a notary and a peasant woman. Despite the social stigma of his birth, he was apprenticed to the renowned artist Andrea del Verrocchio at a young age. This apprenticeship was the first step in a lifelong journey of learning and discovery. Under Verrocchios tutelage, da Vinci honed his skills in painting, sculpting, and metalworking, but his interests extended far beyond the confines of the workshop.As I delved deeper into da Vincis life, I was struck by the sheer breadth of his interests. He was not content to master one discipline he sought to understand the world in all its complexity. His notebooks, filled with sketches, diagrams, and musings, are a testament to his boundless curiosity. From the flight of birds to the flow of water, from the human anatomy to the mechanics of war machines, da Vinci explored it all.One of the most captivating aspects of da Vincis life is his artistic legacy. His paintings, such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, are not only masterpieces of technique but also windows into the human soul. The enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa, for instance, has intrigued viewers for centuries, inviting endless speculation about the subjects emotions and the artists intentions. This ability to capture the essence of humanity is what sets da Vinci apart from his contemporaries.Moreover, da Vincis contributions to science and engineering are equally impressive. His designs for flying machines, although not realized in his lifetime, laid the groundwork for modern aviation. His studies of anatomy, which involved dissecting human corpses, provided detailed insights into the workings of the human body that were centuries ahead of their time. His inventions, ranging from the diving suit to the parachute, demonstrate a mind that was constantly pushing the boundaries of what was possible.However, da Vincis life was not without its challenges. His relentless pursuit of knowledge often led him to start many projects but complete few. His notebooks are filled with ideas that were never fully realized, a testament to the struggle between ambition and the limitations of time. This aspect of his life serves as a reminder that even the most brilliant minds are not immune to the constraints of the human condition.In conclusion, Leonardo da Vinci is a historical figure who continues to inspire me with his relentless curiosity, his boundless creativity, and his unwavering pursuit of knowledge. His life is a reminder that the potential of the human spirit is limitless, and that we should never stop seeking to understand the world around us. As I continue my own journey of learning and discovery, I am grateful for the example set by da Vinci, a true luminary of the Renaissance and a beacon of human potential.。

a rXiv:as tr o-ph/243v12Fe b2A Search for Exozodiacal Dust and Faint Companions Near Sirius,Procyon,and Altair with the NICMOS Coronagraph 1Marc J.Kuchner Palomar Observatory,California Institute of Technology,Pasadena,CA 91125Michael E.Brown 2Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences,California Institute of Technology,Pasadena,CA 91125ABSTRACT We observed Sirius,Altair,and Procyon with the NICMOS Coronagraph on the Hubble Space Telescope to look for scattered light from exo-zodiacal dust and faint companions within 10AU from these stars.We did not achieve enough dynamic range to surpass the upper limits set by IRAS on the amount of exo-zodiacal dust in these systems,but we did set strong upper limits on the presence of nearby late-type and sub-stellar companions.Subject headings:binaries:visual —circumstellar matter —interplanetary medium —stars:individual (Altair,Procyon,Sirius)—stars:low mass,brown dwarfs 1.IntroductionSeveral main sequence stars are close enough that a large telescope operating at the diffraction limit can resolve the terrestrial planet-forming region within 10AU from the star (Kuchner,Brown &Koresko 1998).We used the NICMOS coronagraph to image three of the nearest main-sequence stars in the near-infrared to look for circumstellar material—exozodiacal dust and faint companions—in this relatively uncharted circumstellar region.Any dust orbiting close to one of our targets must have been generated recently by some population of larger bodies,since dust near a star quickly spirals into the star due to Poynting-Robertson drag(Robertson1937).Ten micron diameter dust3AU from a G star spirals into the star on time scales of∼105years;for brighter stars,this timescale is shorter.Around the sun,zodiacal dust forms when asteroids collide and when comets outgass;a search for exozodiacal dust is therefore implicitly a search for extra-solar asteroid or comet-like bodies that make dust.Several disks around nearby main-sequence stars appear to have exozodiacal components.Some,such as the disk associated with Beta-Pictoris,reveal their warm dust as a silicate emission feature at10microns(Telesco&Knacke1991).Others,like the disk around HR4796,show resolved emission at10microns that is interpreted as exozodiacal (Koerner et al.1998).Dust clouds like these,which have∼1000times as much warm dust as our sun,emit thermal radiation substantially in excess of the stellar photospheric emission,and can often be detected photometrically by studying the spectral energy distribution of the star in the mid-infrared.However,many less massive exozodiacal clouds may never be detectable photometrically because no stellar spectrum is known to better than∼3%in the mid-infrared(Cohen et al.1996).We have begun to search for disk that are too faint to be detected photometrically by spatially resolving the critical regions less than10AU from nearby stars.Coronagraphic images can also reveal faint companions to nearby stars.Such companions can go undetected by radial velocity surveys because of their small massesor long orbital periods.Siruis and Procyon both have white dwarf companions whose orbits are well studied,but analyses of the orbital motion in these systems leave room for additional low mass companions.The Sirius system in particular,so prominent in the night sky,has spurred much debate in the last century over its properties.Three analyses of the proper motion of Sirius have suggested that there may be a perturbation in the orbit of Sirius B with a∼6year period(Volet1932;Walbaum&Duvent1983;Benest&Duvent1995).These analyses do not indicate whether the perturbing body orbits Sirius A or B,and dynamical simulations indicate that stable orbits exist around both Sirius A and B at circumstellar distances up to more than half the binary’s periastron separation(Benest1989).If such a companion were in a simple face-on circular orbit it would appear at a separation of4.2AU(1.6arcsec)from Sirius A or a separation of3.3AU(1.3arcsec)from Sirius B assuming that the masses for Sirius A and B a are2.1and1.04M⊙respectively(Gatewood&Gatewood1978).Benest &Duvent(1995)do not derive a mass for the hypothetical companion from observations of the system,but they estimate that a perturber much more massive than0.05M⊙wouldrapidly destroy the binary.Perhaps the most interesting debate about Sirius is whether or not the system appeared red to ancient observers∼2000years ago.Babylonian,Graeco-Roman and Chinese texts from this time period have separately been interpreted to say that Sirius was a red star (Brecher1979;Schlosser&Bergman1985,Bonnet-Bidaud&Gry1991).Tang(1986),van Gent(1984)and McCluskey(1987)have attacked some of these reports,claiming that they represent mistranslations or misidentifications of the star.However,if the Sirius system did indeed appear red,the existence of a third star in the group interacting periodically with Sirius A could explain the effect(Bonnet-Bidaud1991).The low mass companions(<0.1M⊙)that we could hope to detect with NICMOS are late-type stars or warm brown dwarfs,shining with their own thermal power in the near-infrared.Schroeder and Golimowski(1996)recently imaged Sirius,Procyon and Altair at visible wavelengths with the Planetary Camera on HST in a search for faint companions. Our observations are more sensitive to late-type companions because of the high dynamic range of the NICMOS coronagraph,and because these objects are brighter in the infrared than the optical.2.ObservationsWe observed our target stars with the NICMOS Camera2coronagraph onfive dates during1999October.We used the F110filter,the bluest available near-infraredfilter,with an effective wavelength of1.104microns,to take advantage of the higher dynamic range the coronagraph has at shorter wavelengths.We took images of Sirius and Procyon at two different orientations,rolling the telescope about the axis to the star by15◦between them. When we searched for faint companions in the images,we subtracted the images taken at one roll angle from the images taken at the other angle to cancel the light in the wings from the image of the occulted star.We planned to image Altair at a second roll angle,but on our second visit to the star the telescope’s Fine Guidance Sensors failed to achievefine lock on the guide star due to“walkdown”failure.At each roll angle we took50short exposures in ACCUM mode,lasting0.6seconds each,and we co-added them,for total integration times of30seconds.Even though we used the shortest available exposure times,our images saturated interior to about1.9 arcseconds for Sirius,1.4arcseconds for Procyon,and0.7arcseconds for Altair.The actual coronagraphic hole is only0.3arcseconds in radius.Table1summarizes the timing and orientations of our observations.Figure1shows an image of Sirius taken at one roll angle.The white dwarf Sirius B appears to the left of Sirius A,at a separation of3.79arcseconds.We derived photometry of Sirius B at1.1microns from the roll subtracted image of Sirius using a prescription from Rieke(1999).We measured theflux in circular apertures with radii7.5pixels around the positive and negative images and multiplied theflux in those regions by an aperture correction of1.110to extrapolate to the totalflux.Then we used a factor of1.996×10−6 Jy/ADU/Sec to convert from ADU to Janskys.In this manner,we measured theflux in Sirius B to be0.503±0.15Jy.Procyon also has a white dwarf companion,Procyon B, that has been previously detected by HST(Provencal et al.1997).It is not visible in our images,because it is currently at a separation of∼5arcseconds from Procyon A.3.Exozodiacal DustWe compared our observations of Sirius,Procyon and Altair to a simple model for what our zodiacal cloud would look like if it were placed aound these stars.Kelsall et al. (1998)fit an88-parameter model of the zodiacal cloud to the maps of the infrared sky made by the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment(DIRBE)aboard the Cosmic Background Explorer(COBE)satellite.We used the smooth component of this model,which has a face-on optical depth of7.11×10−8(r/1AU)−0.34,and extrapolated it to an outer radius of10AU.We used a scattering phase function consisting of a linear combination of three Henyey-Greenstein functions that Hong(1985)fit to visible light observations of the zodiacal cloud with the Helios Satellite,and we assumed an albedo of0.2,from the Kelsall et al.(1998)fit to the1.25micron DIRBE maps.For this part of our search,we could not use roll-subtraction to cancel the light in the images of our target stars,because this approach would also cancel most of the light from an exozodiacal disk,even if the disk were edge-on.Instead we subtracted images of Altair from the images of Procyon and Sirius,with the assumption that all three of our stars would not have identical circumstellar structures.We used the IDP3data analysis software (Lytle et al.1999)to perform sub-pixel shifts on the images of Altair before we subtracted them from our images of Sirius and Procyon to compensate for the slightly different relative alignments of the three stars and the coronagraphic hole.Figures2a and3a show our images of Sirius and Procyon minus our image of Altair. Software masks hide the regions where the images are saturated and the four maindiffraction spikes.The bright horn just above the masked area in the Procyon image is a well known NICMOS artifact.Figures2b and3b show the same images plus synthesized images of exozodiacal clouds seen in scattered light.The models are brightest immmediately to the left and the right of the circular masked regions.The symmetry planes of the model disks are inclined30◦from edge-on.The dust densities in these have been enhanced to>105×solar levels so they are marginally discernible from the residuals from the PSF subtraction.We used these models for the sake of comparison with the solar zodiacal cloud;real disks with this much dust would be severely collisionally depleted in their centers,unlike the solar cloud.Despite the high dynamic range of the NICMOS coronagraph and our efforts at PSF calibration,we were not able to improve upon photometric detection limits for exozodiacal dust around these stars;if the stars actually had this much circumstellar dust,the thermal emission from the dust would have been seen as a photometric excess by IRAS.Our study demonstrates the difficulty of detecting exozodiacal dust in the presence of scattered light from a bright star in a single-dish telescope.Faint companions can be differentiated from the wings of the telescope PSF by techniques like roll subtraction, but if exozodiacal clouds resemble the solar zodiacal cloud,light from these clouds will resemble the PSF wings.Even though coronagraphs can suppress the PSF wings from an on-axis source by as much as an order of magnitude,the dynamic range obtainable with a coronagraph on a large,diffraction-limited telescope in the near-infrared is far from that required to probe dust levels comparable to the solar cloud.4.Faint CompanionsFor our faint companion search we created roll-subtracted images of Sirius and Procyon using the IDP3software.Tofind the detection limits for faint companions among the non-gaussian PSF residuals,we tested our abilities to see artificial stars added to our images.We examined roughly350copies of the PSF-subtracted images of each of Sirius, Procyon and Altair with help from a few of our patient colleagues.Tofive-sixths of the images,we added images of artificial stars,copied from our image of Sirius B,at random positions and magnitudes that were unknown to the examiner.The other images were left unaltered and mixed with the images that contained artificial stars.The examiners were shown each image one at at time,and asked whether they could say confidently that the image they were shown had an artificial star.Only2%of the time did an examiner claim to see an artificial star when none had been added to the image.We quote as our detection limit the threshold forfinding90%of the artificial companions;that is,the examiners reported90%of the artificial companions brighter than our detection limit at a given separation.Figure4shows these detection limits.For comparison,we plot the expectedmagnitudes of two kinds of possible companions to these objects:an L0dwarf like2MASP J0345432+254023(Kirkpatrick et al.1999)and a cool brown dwarf,Gl229B(Matthews et al.1996).Our apparent detection limits for Procyon are somewhat better than our detection limits for Sirius because Procyon is almost a magnitude fainter in the the near infrared; the two sets of observations yielded about the same dynamic range.Although Altair is fainter than Procyon,our absolute detection limits for faint companions to Altair are not much better than our detection limits for companions around Procyon because we have only exposures at only one roll angle for Altair.Based onfigure4,we can rule out the existence of M dwarf companions farther than1.4arcseconds from Altair,1.6arcseconds from Procyon and1.8arcsecons from Sirius at greater than the90%confidence level.It should be noted,however,that the coronagraph hole is only3.5arcseconds from the edge of the chip,and that artificial faint companions that were behind one of the four maindiffration spikes at one roll angle were harder to detect than artificial companions at other position angles;figure4is averaged over position angle.If we compare our upper limits to the J magnitude of T Dwarf Gl229B(Matthews et al.1996),wefind that we can rule out dwarfs hotter than this object—including all L dwarfs—farther than2.3arcseconds from Procyon and∼3.0arcseconds from Sirius and Altair.For comparison,note that Gl229B was discovered7.7arcseconds from a M1V star with an intrinsic luminosity5magnitudes fainter than Sirius in the J band(Nakajima et al.1995).We do not see any evidence for previously undetected faint companions in our images. If there were a low-mass companion orbiting Sirius at4.2AU we could not detect it because it would lie in the saturated parts of our images.However,we did survey a large fraction of the space where a companion orbiting Sirius B might be found,and we could have detected a brown dwarf like Gl229B throughout most of this zone.If there is a third object in the Sirius system,and it orbits Sirius B with a6year orbit,it is probably fainter than a brown dwarf.We thank Glen Schneider and Aaron Evans for help with the data reduction,and Edo Berger,John Carpenter,Micol Christopher,Ulyana Dyudina,David Frayer,Roy Gal, Pensri Ho,Matthew Hunt,Shardha Jogee,Olga Kuchner,Charlie Qi,Michael Santos,Alice Shapley and David Vakil for searching for artificial stars in our data.This research made use of the Simbad database,operated at the Centre de Donnees de Strasbourg(CDS),Strasbourg,France.Support for this work was provided by NASA through grant number GO-07441.01-96A from the Space Telescope Science Institute,which is operated by AURA,Inc.,under NASAcontract NAS5-26555.REFERENCESBenest,D.1989,A&A,223,361Benest,D.&Duvent,J.L.1995,A&A,299,621Bonnet-Bidaud,J.M.&Gry,C.1991,A&A,252,193Brecher,K.1979in Astronomy of the ancients.Brecher,Feirtag eds.MIT Press,Cambride p.91Cohen,M.,Witteborn,F.C.,Carbon,D.F.,Davies,J.K.,Wooden,D.H.,&Bregman,J.D.1996,AJ,112,2274Gatewood,G.D.&Gatewood,C.V.1978,ApJ,225,191Hong,S.S.1985,A&A,146,67Kelsall et al.1998,ApJ,508,44Kirkpatrick,J.D.,Reid,I.N.,Liebert,J.,Cutri,R.M.,Nelson,B.,Beichman,C.A., Dahn,C.C.,Monet,D.G.,Gizis,J.E.,&Skrutskie,M.,F.1999,ApJ,519,802 Koerner,D.W.,Ressler,M.E.,Werner,M.W,&Backman,D.E.1998,ApJ,503,L83 Kuchner,M.J.,Brown,M.E.,&Koresko,C.D.1998,PASP,110,1336Lytle,D.,Stobie,E.,Ferro,A.,&Barg,I.1999,ASP Conf.Ser.172,Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems VIII,ed.
