Outﬂows in protostellar clusters: a multi-wavelength, multi-scale view Adele L. Plunkett1, H. G. Arce1, S. A. Corder2, M. M. Dunham1, D. Mardones3 1-Yale University; 2-ALMA; 3-Universidad de Chile Interferometer and Single Dish Overview Combination FCRAO-only v=-2 to 6 km/s FCRAO-only v=10 to 17 km/s K km s While protostellar outflows are generally understood as necessary components of isolated star formation, further observations are -1 needed to constrain parameters of outflows particularly within protostellar clusters. In protostellar clusters where most stars form, outflows impact the cluster environment by injecting momentum and energy into the cloud, dispersing the surrounding gas and feeding turbulent motions. Here we present several studies of very dense, active regions within low- to intermediate-mass Why: protostellar clusters. Our observations include interferometer (i.e. CARMA) and single dish (e.g. FCRAO, IRAM 30m, APEX) To recover flux over a range of spatial scales in the region observations, probing scales over several orders of magnitude. How: Based on these observations, we calculate the masses and kinematics of outflows in these regions, and provide constraints for Jy beam km s Joint deconvolution method (Stanimirovic 2002), CARMA-only v=-2 to 6 km/s CARMA-only v=10 to 17 km/s models of clustered star formation. These results are presented for NGC 1333 by Plunkett et al. (2013, ApJ accepted), and -1 comparisons among star-forming regions at different evolutionary stages are forthcoming. using the analysis package MIRIAD. -1 1212COCO Example: We mapped NGC 1333 using CARMA with a resolution of ~5’’ (or 0.006 pc, 1000 AU) in order to Our study focuses on Class 0 & I outflow-driving protostars found in clusters, and we seek to detect outflows and associate them with their driving sources.

Apus Constellation Visible at Latitudes Between +5° and -90°
Apus Constellation Visible at latitudes between +5° and -90°. Best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of July. Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky. It represents a bird-of-paradise, and its name means "without feet" in Greek because the bird-of-paradise was once wrongly believed to lack feet. First depicted on a celestial globe by Petrus Plancius in 1598, it was charted on a star atlas by Johann Bayer in his 1603 Uranometria. The French explorer and astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille charted and gave the brighter stars their Bayer designations in 1756. The five brightest stars are all reddish in hue. Shading the others at apparent magnitude 3.8 is Alpha Apodis, an orange giant that has around 48 times the diameter and 928 times the luminosity of the Sun. Marginally fainter is Gamma Apodis, another ageing giant star. Delta Apodis is a double star, the two components of which are 103 arcseconds apart and visible with the naked eye. Two star systems have been found to have planets. Apus was one of twelve constellations published by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman who had sailed on the first Dutch trading expedition, known as the Eerste Schipvaart, to the East Indies. It first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1598 in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius. De Houtman included it in his southern star catalogue in 1603 under the Dutch name De Paradijs Voghel, "The Bird of Paradise", and Plancius called the constellation Paradysvogel Apis Indica; the first word is Dutch for "bird of paradise".

The Lore of the Stars, for Amateur Campfire Sages
obscure. Various claims have been made about Babylonian innovations and the similarity between the Greek zodiac and the stories, dating from the third millennium BCE, of Gilgamesh, a legendary Sumerian hero who encountered animals and characters similar to those of the zodiac. Some of the Babylonian constellations may have been popularized in the Greek world through the conquest of The Lore of the Stars, Alexander in the fourth century BCE. Alexander himself sent captured Babylonian texts back For Amateur Campfire Sages to Greece for his tutor Aristotle to interpret. Even earlier than this, Babylonian astronomy by Anders Hove would have been familiar to the Persians, who July 2002 occupied Greece several centuries before Alexander’s day. Although we may properly credit the Greeks with completing the Babylonian work, it is clear that the Babylonians did develop some of the symbols and constellations later adopted by the Greeks for their zodiac. Contrary to the story of the star-counter in Le Petit Prince, there aren’t unnumerable stars Cuneiform tablets using symbols similar to in the night sky, at least so far as we can see those used later for constellations may have with our own eyes.

Have Pictures of the Constellations (Cygnus, Perseus, Corona Borelis, Cassiopeia, Orion, Big Dipper, and Virgo) on the Seminary Tables in Front
1. Gathering Activity : Have pictures of the constellations (Cygnus, Perseus, Corona Borelis, Cassiopeia, Orion, Big Dipper, and Virgo) on the seminary tables in front. Give each YW a chance to identify the constellation on a piece of paper. 2. Introduction : Before cell phones, GPS, satellites, or even maps, people navigated the globe by looking up to the heavens. Star constellations that we can see tonight have been around since before Christ’s birth. They have been a light and a standard to help people find their way home. This year the Mutual theme comes from Doctrine and Covenants 115:5 “Arise and shine forth that thy light may be a standard for the nations.” As children of God, we are being asked to be a standard, a light for people to find their way back to their Heavenly Father. Tonight as we introduce the YW program we are going to use stars and constellation to help teach and guide you about the Young Women’s program. 3. Young Women Motto and Logo: Just as stars shine brightly in the night time sky, the Young Women’s logo is a torch burning brightly. It is surrounded by the Young Woman Motto: “Stand for Truth and Righteousness”. The Moto invites all young women to make a commitment to hold up their light by being an example and remaining worthy to make and keep sacred covenants and receive the ordinances of the temple. When I think of the Young Woman’s motto, it makes me think of _____________________________________________________. 4. Young Women Theme/ Values Constellations were created to bring order to the night time chaos in the heavens.

CONSTELLATION BOÖTES, the HERDSMAN Boötes Is the Cultivator Or Ploughman Who Drives the Bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor Around the Pole Star Polaris
CONSTELLATION BOÖTES, THE HERDSMAN Boötes is the cultivator or Ploughman who drives the Bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor around the Pole Star Polaris. The bears, tied to the Polar Axis, are pulling a plough behind them, tilling the heavenly fields "in order that the rotations of the heavens should never cease". It is said that Boötes invented the plough to enable mankind to better till the ground and as such, perhaps, immortalizes the transition from a nomadic life to settled agriculture in the ancient world. This pleased Ceres, the Goddess of Agriculture, so much that she asked Jupiter to place Boötes amongst the stars as a token of gratitude. Boötes was first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century and is home to Arcturus, the third individual brightest star in the night sky, after Sirius in Canis Major and Canopus in Carina constellation. It is a constellation of large extent, stretching from Draco to Virgo, nearly 50° in declination, and 30° in right ascension, and contains 85 naked-eye stars according to Argelander. The constellation exhibits better than most constellations the character assigned to it. One can readily picture to one's self the figure of a Herdsman with upraised arm driving the Greater Bear before him. FACTS, LOCATION & MAP • The neighbouring constellations are Canes Venatici, Coma Berenices, Corona Borealis, Draco, Hercules, Serpens Caput, Virgo, and Ursa Major. • Boötes has 10 stars with known planets and does not contain any Messier objects. • The brightest star in the constellation is Arcturus, Alpha Boötis, which is also the third brightest star in the night sky.

It consists of a humorous 24-minute show and educator’s package. The Orion Educator’s Guide is designed for Planetarians, Teachers, and parents. The information is researched, organized, and laid out so that the educator need not spend hours coming up with lesson plans or labs. This has already been accomplished by certified educators. The guide is written to alleviate the fear of space and the night sky (that many elementary and middle school teachers have) when it comes to that section of the science lesson plan. It is an excellent tool that allows the parents to be a part of the learning experience. The guide is devised in such a way that there are plenty of visuals to assist the educator and student in finding the Winter constellations.
