  • Lurking in the Shadows: Wide-Separation Gas Giants As Tracers of Planet Formation
    Lurking in the Shadows: Wide-Separation Gas Giants as Tracers of Planet Formation Thesis by Marta Levesque Bryan In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California 2018 Defended May 1, 2018 ii © 2018 Marta Levesque Bryan ORCID: [0000-0002-6076-5967] All rights reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank Heather Knutson, who I had the great privilege of working with as my thesis advisor. Her encouragement, guidance, and perspective helped me navigate many a challenging problem, and my conversations with her were a consistent source of positivity and learning throughout my time at Caltech. I leave graduate school a better scientist and person for having her as a role model. Heather fostered a wonderfully positive and supportive environment for her students, giving us the space to explore and grow - I could not have asked for a better advisor or research experience. I would also like to thank Konstantin Batygin for enthusiastic and illuminating discussions that always left me more excited to explore the result at hand. Thank you as well to Dimitri Mawet for providing both expertise and contagious optimism for some of my latest direct imaging endeavors. Thank you to the rest of my thesis committee, namely Geoff Blake, Evan Kirby, and Chuck Steidel for their support, helpful conversations, and insightful questions. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Brendan Bowler. His talk at Caltech my second year of graduate school introduced me to an unexpected population of massive wide-separation planetary-mass companions, and lead to a long-running collaboration from which several of my thesis projects were born.

  • From Luminous Hot Stars to Starburst Galaxies
    9780521791342pre CUP/CONT July 9, 2008 11:48 Page-i FROM LUMINOUS HOT STARS TO STARBURST GALAXIES Luminous hot stars represent the extreme upper mass end of normal stellar evolution. Before exploding as supernovae, they live out their lives of only a few million years with prodigious outputs of radiation and stellar winds which dramatically affect both their evolution and environments. A detailed introduction to the topic, this book connects the astrophysics of mas- sive stars with the extremes of galaxy evolution represented by starburst phenomena. A thorough discussion of the physical and wind parameters of massive stars is pre- sented, together with considerations of their birth, evolution, and death. Hll galaxies, their connection to starburst galaxies, and the contribution of starburst phenomena to galaxy evolution through superwinds, are explored. The book concludes with the wider cosmological implications, including Population III stars, Lyman break galaxies, and gamma-ray bursts, for each of which massive stars are believed to play a crucial role. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in astrophysics who are interested in massive stars and their role in the evolution of galaxies. Peter S. Conti is an Emeritus Professor at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astro- physics (JILA) and theAstrophysics and Planetary Sciences Department at the University of Colorado. Paul A.

  • Culmination of a Constellation
    Culmination of a Constellation Over any night, stars and constellations in the sky will appear to move from east to west due to the Earth’s rotation on its axis. A constellation will culminate (reach its highest point in the sky for your location) when it centres on the meridian - an imaginary line that runs across the sky from north to south and also passes through the zenith (the point high in the sky directly above your head). For example: When to Observe Constellations The taBle shows the approximate time (AEST) constellations will culminate around the middle (15th day) of each month. Constellations will culminate 2 hours earlier for each successive month. Note: add an hour to the given time when daylight saving time is in effect. The time “12” is midnight. Sunrise/sunset times are rounded off to the nearest half an hour.

  • Binocular Challenges
    This page intentionally left blank Cosmic Challenge Listing more than 500 sky targets, both near and far, in 187 challenges, this observing guide will test novice astronomers and advanced veterans alike. Its unique mix of Solar System and deep-sky targets will have observers hunting for the Apollo lunar landing sites, searching for satellites orbiting the outermost planets, and exploring hundreds of star clusters, nebulae, distant galaxies, and quasars. Each target object is accompanied by a rating indicating how difficult the object is to find, an in-depth visual description, an illustration showing how the object realistically looks, and a detailed finder chart to help you find each challenge quickly and effectively. The guide introduces objects often overlooked in other observing guides and features targets visible in a variety of conditions, from the inner city to the dark countryside. Challenges are provided for viewing by the naked eye, through binoculars, to the largest backyard telescopes. Philip S. Harrington is the author of eight previous books for the amateur astronomer, including Touring the Universe through Binoculars, Star Ware, and Star Watch. He is also a contributing editor for Astronomy magazine, where he has authored the magazine’s monthly “Binocular Universe” column and “Phil Harrington’s Challenge Objects,” a quarterly online column on Astronomy.com. He is an Adjunct Professor at Dowling College and Suffolk County Community College, New York, where he teaches courses in stellar and planetary astronomy.

According to our current understanding, a subclass of the upper main sequence chemically peculiar stars, called mercury- manganese (HgMn), is non-magnetic. Nevertheless, chemical inhomogeneities were recently discovered on their surfaces. At the same time, no global magnetic fields stronger than 1–100 G are detected by modern studies. Aims. The goals of our study are to search for magnetic field in the HgMn binary system 66 Eri and to investigate chemical spots on the stellar surfaces of both components. Methods. Our analysis is based on high quality spectropolarimetric time-series observations obtained during 10 consecutive nights with the HARPSpol instrument at the ESO 3.6-m telescope. To increase the sensitivity of the magnetic field search we employed a least-squares deconvolution (LSD). We used spectral disentangling to measure radial velocities and study line profile variability. Chemical spot geometry was reconstructed using multi-line Doppler imaging.

We present results of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio continuum observations of massive stars in the ScoOBl association. Most stars detected in the program show spectral indices lower than value expected from thermal free-free emission. 1. Introduction The Sco OBI association, with the very young open cluster NGC 6231 as its nucleus, stands out among OB associations because of its wealth of hot luminous stars. Therefore, at a relatively nearby distance of about 1.8 kpc, this region is ideal for studying the properties of the stellar winds from OB and Wolf-Rayet stars. Radio observations of Wolf-Rayet and OB-type massive stars provide one of the key ways of studying their dense, ionized supersonic winds. The strong winds from such stars produce extended radio photospheres at mm and em wave- lengths, which result from optically-thick thermal free-free emission.

    Nr. 93 1/2015 Mitteilungen des Arbeitskreis Sternfreunde Lübeck e.V. Astronomische Impressionen von Rüdiger Buggenthien und Knud Henke Im Frühjahr 1999 war der Mars dominierend am Himmel und ein lohnendes Objekt für alle Beobach- ter. Rüdiger Buggenthien zeichnete den Mars vom 30.04.–11.05.1999 und fotografierte ihn durch seinen 7“ Starfire. Damals war die digitale Fotografie noch nicht erfunden, so dass nur wenigen solch beeindru- ckende Aufnahmen gelangen. Eine 90-minütige Startrail-Aufnahme von Knud Henke. Titelbild und Rückseite Nach vielen Jahren konnten wir am zusammen mit etlichen hundert Besuchern 20.03.2015 wieder eine Sonnenfinsternis beobachten konnten. Die Sonne grinste (Sofi) in Lübeck beobachten. Die Wetteraus- uns die ganze Zeit an, wie man unschwer sichten waren für Norddeutschland recht erkennen kann. Die Aufnahmen stammen regnerisch, selbst am Tag vorher wurde ein von Stephan Brügger. bedeckter Himmel vorhergesagt. Auf der Rückseite sehen wir den 1000 Licht- Wie gut, dass man sich auf die Wetter- jahre entfernten California-Nebel (NGC 1499) vorhersage wieder einmal nicht verlassen im Sternbild Perseus. Diese Aufnahme gelang konnte und wir die komplette Finsternis Torsten Brinker mit einem 300mm Objektiv.
