  • A Joint ESA-CONSTELLATION Workshop on the Formation of Brown Dwarfs
    -ESA- Space Science Faculty Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech CONSTELLATION is a European Commission Sixth Framework Marie Curie Research Training Network (contract number MRTN-CT-2006-035890) A joint ESA-CONSTELLATION workshop on the formation of brown dwarfs Contact info: [email protected]! www.rssd.esa.int/BD2009 Gemini Observatory/AURA WORKSHOP Recipes for making brownies: theory vs. observations Scientific Rationale: The origin of Brown Dwarfs (BDs) is an important component of the theory of star formation. Recent ground based and satellite observations are revealing an increasing number of BDs; however, their origin remains somewhat mysterious as their mass is 2 orders of magnitude below the average Jeans mass in star-forming clouds. Explaining why they are so common thus requires detailed understanding of the fragmentation processes during star formation, as well as exploring other formation scenarios. This workshop will focus on recent theoretical and observational progresses in the field of BD formation as well as explore current and future perspectives. Our purpose is to bring together the leading experts working in this field, foster new collabora- tions and, in particular, promote extended interactions among young PhD/post-doc researchers. SOC: L.

  • Abstract a Search for Extrasolar Planets Using Echoes Produced in Flare Events
    ABSTRACT A SEARCH FOR EXTRASOLAR PLANETS USING ECHOES PRODUCED IN FLARE EVENTS A detection technique for searching for extrasolar planets using stellar flare events is explored, including a discussion of potential benefits, potential problems, and limitations of the method. The detection technique analyzes the observed time versus intensity profile of a star’s energetic flare to determine possible existence of a nearby planet. When measuring the pulse of light produced by a flare, the detection of an echo may indicate the presence of a nearby reflective surface. The flare, acting much like the pulse in a radar system, would give information about the location and relative size of the planet. This method of detection has the potential to give science a new tool with which to further humankind’s understanding of planetary systems.

In 2009 we started an intense radial-velocity monitoring of a few nearby, slowly-rotating and quiet solar-type stars within the dedicated HARPS-Upgrade GTO program. Aims. The goal of this campaign is to gather very-precise radial-velocity data with high cadence and continuity to detect tiny signatures of very-low-mass stars that are potentially present in the habitable zone of their parent stars. Methods. Ten stars were selected among the most stable stars of the original HARPS high-precision program that are uniformly spread in hour angle, such that three to four of them are observable at any time of the year.

  • Thursday, December 22Nd Swap Meet & Potluck Get-Together Next First
    Io – December 2011 p.1 IO - December 2011 Issue 2011-12 PO Box 7264 Eugene Astronomical Society Annual Club Dues $25 Springfield, OR 97475 President: Sam Pitts - 688-7330 www.eugeneastro.org Secretary: Jerry Oltion - 343-4758 Additional Board members: EAS is a proud member of: Jacob Strandlien, Tony Dandurand, John Loper. Next Meeting: Thursday, December 22nd Swap Meet & Potluck Get-Together Our December meeting will be a chance to visit and share a potluck dinner with fellow amateur astronomers, plus swap extra gear for new and exciting equipment from somebody else’s stash. Bring some food to share and any astronomy gear you’d like to sell, trade, or give away. We will have on hand some of the gear that was donated to the club this summer, including mirrors, lenses, blanks, telescope parts, and even entire telescopes. Come check out the bargains and visit with your fellow amateur astronomers in a relaxed evening before Christmas. We also encourage people to bring any new gear or projects they would like to show the rest of the club. The meeting is at 7:00 on December 22nd at EWEB’s Community Room, 500 E. 4th in Eugene. Next First Quarter Fridays: December 2nd and 30th Our November star party was clouded out, along with a good deal of the month afterward. If that sounds familiar, that’s because it is: I changed the date in the previous sentence from October to November and left the rest of the sentence intact. Yes, our autumn weather is predictable. Here’s hoping for a lucky break in the weather for our two December star parties.

  • Another Unit of Distance (I Like This One Better): Light Year
    How far away are the nearest stars? Last time: • Distances to stars can be measured via measurement of parallax (trigonometric parallax, stellar parallax) • Defined two units to be used in describing stellar distances (parsec and light year) Which stars are they? Another unit of distance (I like this A new unit of distance: the parsec one better): light year A parsec is the distance of a star whose parallax is 1 arcsecond. A light year is the distance a light ray travels in one year A star with a parallax of 1/2 arcsecond is at a distance of 2 parsecs. A light year is: • 9.460E+15 meters What is the parsec? • 3.26 light years = 1 parsec • 3.086 E+16 meters • 206,265 astronomical units The distances to the stars are truly So what are the distances to the stars? enormous • If the distance between the Earth and Sun were • First measurements made in 1838 (Friedrich Bessel) shrunk to 1 cm (0.4 inches), Alpha Centauri • Closest star is Alpha would be 2.75 km (1.7 miles) away Centauri, p=0.75 arcseconds, d=1.33 parsecs= 4.35 light years • Nearest stars are a few to many parsecs, 5 - 20 light years 1 When we look at the night sky, which So, who are our neighbors in space? are the nearest stars? Altair… 5.14 parsecs = 16.8 light years Look at Appendix 12 of the book (stars nearer than 4 parsecs or 13 light years) The nearest stars • 34 stars within 13 light years of the Sun • The 34 stars are contained in 25 star systems • Those visible to the naked eye are Alpha Centauri (A & B), Sirius, Epsilon Eridani, Epsilon Indi, Tau Ceti, and Procyon • We won’t see any of them tonight!
