Í flestum tilfellum voru viðfangsefnin óeiginlegar breytistjörnur, aðallega myrkvatvístirni, en einnig var fylgst með nokkrum fjarreikistjörnum. Í mælingum á myrkvatvístirnum og fjarreikistjörnum er markmiðið að tímasetja myrkva og þvergöngur. Einnig er sagt frá niðurstöðum á nándarstjörnunni Ross 248 og athugunum á lausþyrpingunni NGC 7790 og breytistjörnum í nágrenni hennar. Markmið mælinga á nándarstjörnu og lausþyrpingum er að meta fjarlægðir eða aðra eiginleika fyrirbæranna. Að lokum eru kynntar athuganir á litrófi nokkurra bjartra stjarna. Í samantektinni er sagt frá hverju viðfangsefni í sérköflum. Þessi samantekt er sú þriðja um stjörnuathuganir sem er gefin út af Náttúrustofu Suðausturlands. Niðurstöður hafa verið sendar í alþjóðlegan gagnagrunn þar sem þær, ásamt fjölda sambærilegra mæligagna frá stjörnuáhugamönnum, eru aðgengilegar stjarnvísindasamfélaginu.

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

This is one of the first telescopes ever created that actually speaks to you to educate you about the night sky. Consider this feature as your personal astronomy assistant. After reading through this manual and preparing for your observing session as outlined in these pages you can start enjoying the Real Voice Output feature by doing the following: To activate your telescope, simply turn it on! The Real Voice Output feature is built in to the remote control handset. Along the way the telescope will speak various helpful comments during the alignment process. Once aligned, the Real Voice Output feature will really shine anytime the enter key is depressed when an object name or number is displayed at the bottom right of the LCD viewscreen. That object description will be spoken to you as you follow along with the scrolling text description. If at anytime you wish to disable the speaking feature, you can cancel the speech by pressing the “Back” button on the remote control keypad. It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy this telescope for years to come! NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN ❂ WITH YOUR TELESCOPE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES MAY OCCUR WHERE DO I START? Your Bushnell telescope can bring the wonders of the universe to your eye.

Subjects and activities in this series of booklets are designed to supplementa basic curriculum or to form a total curriculum, and relate to practicalprocess oriented science instruction rather than theoryor module building. Included in each booklet is a student section withan introduction, performance objectives, and science activities whichcan be performed individually or as a class, and a teacher section containingnotes on the science activities, resource lists, and references. This booklet presents independent study of astronomy, astronomical instruments, the solar system, Earth time zones, and stars. The estimated timefor completing the activities in this module is 8-9 weeks.

  • The Detectability of Nightside City Lights on Exoplanets
    Draft version September 6, 2021 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX63 The Detectability of Nightside City Lights on Exoplanets Thomas G. Beatty1 1Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721; [email protected] ABSTRACT Next-generation missions designed to detect biosignatures on exoplanets will also be capable of plac- ing constraints on the presence of technosignatures (evidence for technological life) on these same worlds. Here, I estimate the detectability of nightside city lights on habitable, Earth-like, exoplan- ets around nearby stars using direct-imaging observations from the proposed LUVOIR and HabEx observatories. I use data from the Soumi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite to determine the surface flux from city lights at the top of Earth's atmosphere, and the spectra of commercially available high-power lamps to model the spectral energy distribution of the city lights. I consider how the detectability scales with urbanization fraction: from Earth's value of 0.05%, up to the limiting case of an ecumenopolis { or planet-wide city. I then calculate the minimum detectable urbanization fraction using 300 hours of observing time for generic Earth-analogs around stars within 8 pc of the Sun, and for nearby known potentially habitable planets. Though Earth itself would not be detectable by LUVOIR or HabEx, planets around M-dwarfs close to the Sun would show detectable signals from city lights for urbanization levels of 0.4% to 3%, while city lights on planets around nearby Sun-like stars would be detectable at urbanization levels of & 10%. The known planet Proxima b is a particu- larly compelling target for LUVOIR A observations, which would be able to detect city lights twelve times that of Earth in 300 hours, an urbanization level that is expected to occur on Earth around the mid-22nd-century.

  • One of the Most Useful Accessories an Amateur Can Possess Is One of the Ubiquitous Optical Filters
    One of the most useful accessories an amateur can possess is one of the ubiquitous optical filters. Having been accessible previously only to the professional astronomer, they came onto the marker relatively recently, and have made a very big impact. They are useful, but don't think they're the whole answer! They can be a mixed blessing. From reading some of the advertisements in astronomy magazines you would be correct in thinking that they will make hitherto faint and indistinct objects burst into vivid observ­ ability. They don't. What the manufacturers do not mention is that regardless of the filter used, you will still need dark and transparent skies for the use of the filter to be worthwhile. Don't make the mistake of thinking that using a filter from an urban location will always make objects become clearer. The first and most immediately apparent item on the downside is that in all cases the use of a filter reduces the amount oflight that reaches the eye, often quite sub­ stantially. The brightness of the field of view and the objects contained therein is reduced. However, what the filter does do is select specific wavelengths of light emitted by an object, which may be swamped by other wavelengths. It does this by suppressing the unwanted wavelengths. This is particularly effective in observing extended objects such as emission nebulae and planetary nebulae. In the former case, use a filter that transmits light around the wavelength of 653.2 nm, which is the spectral line of hydrogen alpha (Ha), and is the wavelength oflight respons­ ible for the spectacular red colour seen in photographs of emission nebulae.
