And Space-Based Photometry

Received: 2018 November 7; in original from 2018 April 6 ABSTRACT We have initiated a dedicated project to follow-up with ground-based photometry the transiting planets discovered by CoRoT in order to refine the orbital elements, constrain their physical parameters and search for additional bodies in the system. From 2012 September to 2016 December we carried out 16 transit observations of six CoRoT planets (CoRoT-5b, CoRoT-8b, CoRoT-12b, CoRoT-18b, CoRoT-20 b, and CoRoT-27b) at three observatories located in Germany and Spain. These observations took place between 5 and 9 yr after the planet’s discovery, which has allowed us to place stringent constraints on the planetary ephemeris. In five cases we obtained light curves with a deviation of the mid-transit time of up to ∼115 min from the predictions. -

The overdensity corresponds to a Zone-of-Avoidance crossing of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster filament. Although it is known that this filament contains an X-ray galaxy cluster (3C 129) hosting two strong radio galaxies, little is known about galaxies associated with this potentially rich cluster because of the high Galactic dust extinction. -

You may have noticed that this newsletter is showing up a little bit later than usual, and it’s for good reason: release of the newsletter will now happen after the monthly business meeting so that we can have a chance to keep everybody up to date on the latest information. Sometimes, this will mean the newsletter shows up a couple of days late. But, the upshot is that you’ll now be able to see what we discussed at the recent business meeting and have time to digest it before our general meeting in case you want to give some feedback. Now that we’re on the new format, business meetings (and the oft neglected Light Pollution Committee Meeting), are going to start being open to all members of the club again by simply joining up in the respective chat rooms the Wednesday before the first Monday of the month—which I encourage people to do, especially if you have some ideas you want to see the club put into action. -

Type II Supernovae Preface This volume applies the physical laws and principles of the universe of motion to a consideration of the large-scale structure and properties of that universe, the realm of astronomy. Inasmuch as it presupposes nothing but a familiarity with physical laws and principles, it is self-contained in the same sense as any other publication in the astronomical field. However, the laws and principles applicable to the universe of motion differ in many respects from those of the conventional physical science. For the convenience of those who may wish to follow the development of thought all the way from the fundamentals, and are not familiar with the theory of the universe of motion, I am collecting the most significant portions of the previously published books and articles dealing with that theory, and incorporating them, together with the results of some further studies, into a series of volumes with the general title The Structure of the Physical Universe. -

Congratulations on the purchase of your Tasco SpaceStation Goto Telescope! It is our sincere hope Your Tasco telescope can bring the wonders of the universe to your eye. While this manual that you will enjoy this telescope for years to come! is intended to assist you in the set-up and basic use of this instrument, it does not cover everything you might like to know about astronomy. Although SpaceStation will give a respectable tour of the night sky, it is recommended you get a very simple star chart and a flashlight with a red bulb or red cellophane over the end. For objects other than stars and constellations, a basic guide to astronomy is a must. Some recommended sources appear on our website at www.Tasco.com. Also on our website will be current events in the sky for suggested viewing. But, some of the standbys that you can see are: The Moon—a wonderful view of our lunar neighbor can be enjoyed with any magnification. Try viewing at different phases of the moon. Lunar highlands, lunar maria (lowlands called “seas” for their dark coloration), craters, ridges and mountains will astound you. Saturn—even at the lowest power you should be able to see Saturn’s rings and moons. -
IAU Division C Working Group on Star Names 2019 Annual Report

The Terms of Reference and membership for WG Star Names (WGSN) are provided at the IAU website: https://www.iau.org/science/scientific_bodies/working_groups/280/. WGSN was re-proposed to Division C and was approved in April 2019 as a functional WG whose scope extends beyond the normal 3-year cycle of IAU working groups. The WGSN was specifically called out on p. 22 of IAU Strategic Plan 2020-2030: “The IAU serves as the internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and their surface features. To do so, the IAU has a number of Working Groups on various topics, most notably on the nomenclature of small bodies in the Solar System and planetary systems under Division F and on Star Names under Division C.” WGSN continues its long term activity of researching cultural astronomy literature for star names, and researching etymologies with the goal of adding this information to the WGSN’s online materials. -
Proper Motion Analysis of the Jet of R Aquarii

Johnson4 1 Tuorla Observatory, Väisäläntie 20, 21500 Piikkiö, Finland e-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Physics, 20014 Turku University, Finland 3 Department of Physical Sciences, PO Box 64, 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland 4 Charterhouse, Godalming, Surrey, GU7 2DX, UK Received 15 December 2003 / Accepted 18 May 2004 Abstract. We have observed the jet of R Aquarii at high resolution with the VLA in 1992.83 and in 1999.78. Observations in the first epoch have resolved the base of the jet which shows a helical structure. We cannot detect the expected new jet component at either epoch. This does not disprove the idea of periodic ejection. Either the timing inferred from the acceleration models, or the assumed periastron passage is incorrect. Alternatively, a single new component cannot be resolved due to the dense core. Proper motion analysis of the jet components shows that previously derived acceleration models do not fit our new data. Indeed, the first ∼1 of the jet, both to north-east and south-west, appears fixed and has slowly moving shocks at the termination points, whereas the positions of the outer components fit best a ballistic orbit. We propose that the components are formed due to enhanced matter flow at periastron, accelerated during the first 1 and then ejected as bullets. Component A at a distance of ∼4 from the core has broken into two parts, similar to what was previously assumed to have happened to the outermost components B and D.
