This sample consists of a client console program (.exe) and a service library (.dll) hosted by Internet Information Services (IIS). The service implements a duplex contract. The contract is defined by the ICalculatorDuplex interface, which exposes math operations (Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide). In this sample, the ICalculatorDuplex interface allows the client to perform math operations, calculating a running result over the session. Independently, the service returns results on the ICalculatorDuplexCallback interface. A duplex contract requires a session, because a context must be established to correlate the set of messages being sent between client and service. The WSDualHttpBinding binding supports duplex communication. The setup procedure and build instructions for this sample are located at the end of this topic. The samples may already be installed on your machine. Check for the following (default) directory before continuing. If this directory does not exist, go to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) Samples for .NET Framework 4 to download all Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and WF samples. This sample is located in the following directory. To configure a service endpoint with the WSDualHttpBinding , specify the binding in the endpoint configuration as shown. On the client, you must configure an address that the server can use to connect to the client as shown in the following sample configuration. When you run the sample, the operation requests and responses are displayed in the client console window. Press ENTER in the client window to shut down the client. When you run the sample, you see the messages returned to the client on the callback interface sent from the service. Each intermediate result is displayed, followed by the entire equation upon completion of all operations. Press ENTER to shut down the client. To set up, build, and run the sample. Install ASP.NET 4.0 using the following command. To build the C# or Visual Basic .NET edition of the solution, follow the instructions in Building the Windows Communication Foundation Samples. To run the sample in a single- or cross-machine configuration, follow the instructions in Running the Windows Communication Foundation Samples. When running the client in a cross-machine configuration, be sure to replace localhost in both the address attribute of the <endpoint> of <client> element and the clientBaseAddress attribute of the <binding> element of the <wsDualHttpBinding> element with the name of the appropriate machine, as shown: Delphinus Constellation. Delphinus constellation is located in the northern sky. Its name means “dolphin” in Latin. In Greek mythology, the constellation represents the dolphin sent by the sea god Poseidon to find Amphitrite, the Nereid he wanted to marry. It is also associated with the story of Arion, the Greek poet and musician whose life was saved by dolphins at sea. Delphinus is one of the smallest constellations in the sky. It is one of the Greek constellations, first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy of Alexandria in the 2nd century CE. Delphinus is recognizable for the diamond-shaped pattern formed by its brightest stars, known as Job’s Coffin, which outlines the body of the celestial Dolphin. The constellation is home to several interesting deep sky objects: the globular clusters NGC 6934 and NGC 7006, and the planetary nebulae NGC 6891 and NGC 6905 (the Blue Flash Nebula). Facts, location & map. Delphinus is the 69th constellation in size, occupying an area of 189 square degrees. It lies in the fourth quadrant of the northern hemisphere (NQ4) and can be seen at latitudes between +90° and -70°. The neighboring constellations are Aquarius, Aquila, Equuleus, Pegasus, Sagitta, and Vulpecula. Delphinus has five stars with known planets and contains no Messier objects. The brightest star in the constellation is Rotanev, Beta Delphini, with an apparent magnitude of 3.617. There are no meteor showers associated with the constellation. Delphinus contains five formally named stars. The star names approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) are Aldulfin (Epsilon Delphini), Musica (18 Delphini), Rotanev (Beta Delphini A), Shama (HAT-P-23), and Sualocin (Alpha Delphini Aa). Delphinus constellation map by IAU and Sky&Telescope magazine. How to find Delphinus. Delpinus is easy to find because its brightest stars form a distinct asterism that represents the celestial dolphin. Alpha (Sualocin), Beta (Rotanev), Gamma and Delta Delphini form the dolphin’s body and Aldulfin (Epsilon Delphini) marks the tail. The diamond-shaped asterism representing the dolphin’s body is also known as Job’s Coffin. Location of Delphinus, image: Wikisky. The constellation Delphinus lies in the region of the sky between the bright Altair in the constellation Aquila and the Great Square of Pegasus. Aldulfin can be found by extending a line from Vega, one of the three bright stars that form the Summer Triangle, through Albireo, the star at the base of the Northern Cross (or at the beak of the Swan) in Cygnus. The stars of the Summer Triangle are easy to distinguish because Deneb also marks the top of the Northern Cross, Altair is flanked by the relatively bright Alshain and Tarazed, and Vega is part of Lyra‘s lyre-shaped pattern (similar to that of Delphinus, but slightly larger). Delphinus location, image: Wikisky. Delphinus myth. There are two myths associated with the constellation Delphinus. In one, the dolphin constellation represents Poseidon’s messenger. When the sea god courted the nymph Amphitrite, one of the Nereids, she resisted his advances and took refuge among her sisters. Poseidon sent messengers to find her and bring her to him, among them a dolphin. The dolphin found the nymph, soothed her and brought her back to the god. The two were later married. Poseidon decided to honour the dolphin and placed his image among the stars. Delphinus constellation, plate 13 in Urania’s Mirror (1824) In the other myth, it was Apollo, the god of poetry and music, who placed the dolphin among the constellations for saving the life of Arion, a poet and musician born on the island of Lesbos, whose skill with the lyre made him famous in the 7th century BC. Arion was sailing back to Greece after a concert tour of southern Italy when the sailors who were also on the ship started plotting to kill him and take the money he had earned. Surrounded, Arion asked them to let him sing one last song. The sailors allowed this, and Arion’s music drew several dolphins to the ship. As he played, the dolphins swam alongside the ship and Arion decided to take a leap of faith and he jumped overboard. One of the dolphins saved him and carried him all the way back to Greece. Later, Arion confronted the sailors and had them sentenced to death. In this version of the myth, Apollo placed the dolphin next to the constellation Lyra in the sky, and Lyra represents Arion’s lyre. The constellation Delphinus was also sometimes referred to as Job’s Coffin because of its long, box-like shape. Mostly, the name was restricted to the asterism formed by Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta Delphini. Major stars in Delphinus. Rotanev – β Delphini (Beta Delphini) Beta Delphini is the brightest star in Delphinus. It has an apparent magnitude of 3.617 and lies at a distance of 101 light years from Earth. The star’s traditional name, Rotanev, was given to it by the Italian astronomer Niccolò Cacciatore (1770 – 1841). Rotanev spelled backwards is Venator, which is the Latinized version of Cacciatore’s family name, which means “hunter.” Beta Delphini was discovered to be a binary star in 1873 by the American astronomer S. W. Burnham. The star system is about 1.79 billion years old and it consists of a pair of white stars of the spectral types F5 III and F5 IV, a giant and a subgiant. The stars appear as a single point of light to the naked eye. They orbit each other with a period of 26.66 years. They are separated by only 0.44 arcseconds, which makes them difficult to resolve in a telescope. Delphinus stars, image: Wikisky. Sualocin – α Delphini (Alpha Delphini) Alpha Delphini is the second brightest star in the constellation. It has a combined apparent magnitude of 3.777 and lies at a distance of 254 light years from Earth. It is a multiple star consisting of a physical pair, designated Alpha Delphini A, and five fainter stars, designated Alpha Delphini B, C, D, E, and F, which are likely optical companions. The main pair form a spectroscopic binary star. The two components are separated by only 0.2 arcseconds and can only be resolved interferometrically. They orbit each other with a period of 17 years. The primary component, Alpha Delphini Aa, has the stellar classification B9IV, indicating a blue-white subgiant star.

Kraupe Narrator: Regina Lemnitz Recorded at Primetime Studio, Hamburg, 2015 ---------- The night sky … both beautiful and mysterious. The subject of camp-fire stories, ancient myths and awe for as long as there have been people. Living beneath the open dark sky the earliest humans were aware of nightly changes as planets marched across the sky, the Moon waxed and waned, and occasional meteors flared across the horizon. Slowly the simple early observations revealed patterns that could be depended upon, leading to the first calendars. With the yearly cycle mapped out, settlements and agriculture could develop and early civilisations thrived. At the same time, the first maps of the sky grouped the brightest stars into familiar constellations, helping to develop navigational skills, expanding trade and aiding exploration. But the first astronomers had no real concept of the order behind the patterns of the sky. These early scientists and philosophers were still bound by a view of the cosmos that was tightly interwoven with mythology. The ancient Greeks, with their rigorous intellectual approach, took the first steps towards separating the young science of astronomy from the ancient sky myths.

  • Globular Cluster Club
    Globular Cluster Observing Club Raleigh Astronomy Club Version 1.2 22 June 2007 Introduction Welcome to the Globular Cluster Observing Club! This list is intended to give you an appreciation for the deep-sky objects known as globular clusters. There are 153 known Milky Way Globular Clusters of which the entire list can be found on the seds.org site listed below. To receive your Gold level we will only have you do sixty of them along with one challenge object from a list of three. Challenge objects being the extra-galactic globular Mayall II (G1) located in the Andromeda Galaxy, Palomar 4 in Ursa Major, and Omega Centauri a magnificent southern globular. The first two challenge your scope and viewing ability while Omega Centauri challenges your ability to plan for a southern view. A Silver level is also available and will be within the range of a 4 inch to 8 inch scope depending upon seeing conditions. Many of the objects are found in the Messier, Caldwell, or Herschel catalogs and can springboard you into those clubs. The list is meant for your viewing enrichment and edification of these types of clusters. It is also meant to enhance your viewing skills. You are encouraged to view the clusters with a critical eye toward the cluster’s size, visual magnitude, resolvability, concentration and colors. The Astronomical League’s Globular Clusters Club book “Guide to the Globular Cluster Observing Club” is an excellent resource for this endeavor. You will be asked to either sketch the cluster or give a short description of your visual impression, citing seeing conditions, time, date, cluster’s size, magnitude, resolvability, concentration, and any star colors.

  • The Caldwell Catalogue+Photos
    The Caldwell Catalogue was compiled in 1995 by Sir Patrick Moore. He has said he started it for fun because he had some spare time after finishing writing up his latest observations of Mars. He looked at some nebulae, including the ones Charles Messier had not listed in his catalogue. Messier was only interested in listing those objects which he thought could be confused for the comets, he also only listed objects viewable from where he observed from in the Northern hemisphere. Moore's catalogue extends into the Southern hemisphere. Having completed it in a few hours, he sent it off to the Sky & Telescope magazine thinking it would amuse them. They published it in December 1995. Since then, the list has grown in popularity and use throughout the amateur astronomy community. Obviously Moore couldn't use 'M' as a prefix for the objects, so seeing as his surname is actually Caldwell-Moore he used C, and thus also known as the Caldwell catalogue. http://www.12dstring.me.uk/caldwelllistform.php Caldwell NGC Type Distance Apparent Picture Number Number Magnitude C1 NGC 188 Open Cluster 4.8 kly +8.1 C2 NGC 40 Planetary Nebula 3.5 kly +11.4 C3 NGC 4236 Galaxy 7000 kly +9.7 C4 NGC 7023 Open Cluster 1.4 kly +7.0 C5 NGC 0 Galaxy 13000 kly +9.2 C6 NGC 6543 Planetary Nebula 3 kly +8.1 C7 NGC 2403 Galaxy 14000 kly +8.4 C8 NGC 559 Open Cluster 3.7 kly +9.5 C9 NGC 0 Nebula 2.8 kly +0.0 C10 NGC 663 Open Cluster 7.2 kly +7.1 C11 NGC 7635 Nebula 7.1 kly +11.0 C12 NGC 6946 Galaxy 18000 kly +8.9 C13 NGC 457 Open Cluster 9 kly +6.4 C14 NGC 869 Open Cluster

  • CN Variations in NGC 7006
    A&A 409, 553–561 (2003) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20031174 & c ESO 2003 Astrophysics CN variations in NGC 7006 D. Harbeck1, G. H. Smith2, and E. K. Grebel1 1 Max-Planck-Institut f¨ur Astronomie, K¨onigsstuhl 17, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany 2 UCO/Lick Observatory, University of California, CA 95064, USA Received 11 June 2003 / Accepted 29 July 2003 Abstract. Rotationally induced mixing with subsequent dredge-up of nucleosynthesized material is discussed as a second pa- rameter of the horizontal branch morphology in globular clusters. CNO abundances have been proposed as tracers of the dredge up of processed material. NGC 7006 is a prominent example of a second parameter GC: Its HB morphology is too red for its metallicity. We present spectroscopic measurements of CN molecular band strengths S(3839) and CH band CH(4300) strengths for 12 giants in NGC 7006 to test rotationally-driven mixing as a second parameter in this cluster. Our observations reveal (i) a scatter in star-to-star CN absorption strengths with the same amplitude as seen in other GCs of the same metallicity, but different HB morphologies; (ii) a possible continuous distribution of CN absorption strength with a preference for CN-enriched stars, and (iii) a possible weak radial gradient in the number ratio of CN-strong and CN-weak stars. We argue against the hypothesis that CN-variations are directly correlated with the second parameter effect of the HB morphology. However, the small sample of stars measured in NGC 7006 prevents us from drawing firm conclusions. Finally, we identify one star of our sample as a foreground dwarf carbon star.

In particular, we seek to figure out which stars imprinted the peculiar chemical signature of GCs. One of the best ways is to study the light-element anti-correlations in a large sample of GCs that are analysed homogeneously. As part of our spectroscopic survey of GCs with FLAMES, we present here the results of our study of about 30 red giant member stars in the low-mass, low-metallicity Milky Way cluster NGC 6535. We measured the metallicity (finding [Fe/H] = −1:95, rms = 0.04 dex in our homogeneous scale) and other elements of the cluster and, in particular, we concentrate here on O and Na abundances.

  • Culpeper Astronomy Club Meeting September 24 , 2018 Overview
    Galaxies: Types and Classification Culpeper Astronomy Club Meeting September 24 , 2018 Overview • Introductions • Galaxies Classes • Constellations: Aquila, Delpinus, and Scutum • Observing Session “The Year in Review…” • Began the year with a study of the Sun, stars, their evolution…and the different types of stars (sizes, composition)…with plans to return to types (Carbon Stars, Variable Stars)… • Looked at the clusters and groupings in which stars are organized…Binaries and Multiple stars, Open and Globular Clusters… • Last month took a more in-depth look at nebulae…the gaseous clouds from which stars are born…and to which they give rise when they die… • This month we will look at much larger and far more distant objects…the galaxies… Galaxy Population • Astronomers used HST to peer into a seemingly empty part of the sky and identified all the galaxies in it (Hubble Ultra Deep Field) • Revised the estimate for the number of galaxies, by a factor of 10, from 200 billion to 2 trillion • James Webb Space Telescope is going to carry a telescope mirror with 25 square meters of collecting surface, compared to Hubble’s 4.5 square meters • Furthermore, JWST is IR telescope able to look at cooler objects, and galaxies which are billions of light- years away Galaxy Classes • The most widely used classification scheme for galaxies is based on one devised by Edwin P. Hubble • Work produced a dramatic change in people’s beliefs about the universe, proving it is home to galaxies besides the Milky Way • It uses the three main types, and then further
