This month’s meeting will be at LIGO in Livingston on July 15th, along with the pot luck picnic, gates will open to BRAS members and family members at 11:00 a.m. After the picnic and a short meeting, we will assist LIGO on their public day along with solar viewing. If you and yours have not been to LIGO, you are in for a treat! Open to the public from 1 to 5 p.m. We will sell a few more tickets for the Meade telescope, and then announce the winner! Last month’s riddle winners, Scott Cadwallader, Bart Bennet, and Roz Readinger will get their free raffle tickets for being the first 3 to send me the answer to last month’s question, if they show up at the picnic. -

We study the effects of local environmental conditions affecting the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) carriers within the Upper Scorpius subgroup of the Sco OB2 association. The aim is to reveal how the still unidentified DIB carriers respond to different physical conditions prevailing in interstellar clouds, in order to shed light on the origin of the DIB carriers. Methods. We obtained optical spectra with FEROS on the ESO 1.52m telescope at La Silla, Chile, and measured the equivalent widths of five DIBs (at 5780, 5797, 6196, 6379, and 6613 Å) as well as those of absorption lines of di-atomic molecules (CH, CH+, CN) and atoms (K i, Ca i) towards 89 targets in the direction of Upper Scorpius. We construct a simple radiative transfer and chemical network model of the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) sheet in front of Upp Sco to infer the effective radiation field. -
Appendix A: Orbital Elements
Appendix A: Orbital Elements Many of the items in this Appendix have been explained elsewhere in the text, but, for clarity, they have been drawn together into this one section. The size and shape of a satellite’s orbit is determined by its speed and mass, and also by the mass of the object it is orbiting. The size, shape and orientation of an orbit can be described by six orbital elements or orbital parameters, known as Keplerian ele- ments or element sets. Different sets of elements can be used for different purposes. The terms used sound complicated, but taken individually each is relatively simple. These explanations have been taken with reference to an Earth-orbiting satellite, however, they can easily be adapted for satellites orbiting other celestial bodies. If all of the elements are known, the exact location of a satellite can be calculated. The Keplerian elements are: Inclination (i) Longitude of the ascending node (W) Argument of periapsis (w) Eccentricity (e) Semi-major axis (a) Anomaly at epoch (v) Time of periapsis or perigee passage (T) may be used instead of the Anomaly at epoch (v) Inclination (i) A satellite will always travel around the centre of the body it is orbiting and therefore it will always cross the equator twice in every orbit, unless, of course, it orbits directly above the equator. It will cut it as it travels from the southern hemisphere to the northern and again when it crosses from the northern to the southern hemi- sphere. The angle it makes when it crosses the equator from the 303 304 It’s ONLY Rocket Science southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere is called the inclination, and this defines the orientation of the orbit with respect to the equator. -
