Meetings start at 7 p.m. and are open to the public. Please note that food and drink are not allowed in the planetarium President Don Bryden Well I gave a star party and no one showed up! Not that I can blame them – it was raining and windy and cold – it even hailed! Still I dragged out the scope and got it ready to go. Briefly, between the clouds I looked at Jupiter and it was quite a treat. The Galilean moons were all tight to the planet either coming from just in front or behind. It gave a bejeweled look like a large ruby surrounded by four small diamonds. Even with the winds and clouds the sky was surprisingly steady and I went as high as 260x with ease, exposing the shadow of Europa transiting the planet. But soon more clouds came and inside we had a nice fire so I put the Artist's rendering DVD “400 Years of the Telescope” on and settled in for the night. My daughter had a few friends over after a skating party that afternoon and later when I went out for one more look they came out to see what was up.

The study is devoted to search for flare stars among confirmed members of Galactic open clusters using high-cadence photometry from TESS mission. We analyzed 957 high-cadence light curves of members from 136 open clusters. As a result, 56 flare stars were found, among them 8 hot B-A type ob- jects. Of all flares, 63 % were detected in sample of cool stars (Teff < 5000 K), and 29 % { in stars of spectral type G, while 23 % in K-type stars and ap- proximately 34% of all detected flares are in M-type stars.

    What's up This Month – December 2019 These Pages Are Intended to Help You Find Your Way Around the Sky

    WHAT'S UP THIS MONTH – DECEMBER 2019 THESE PAGES ARE INTENDED TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY AROUND THE SKY The chart above shows the night sky as it appears on 15th December at 21:00 (9 o’clock) in the evening Greenwich Meantime Time (GMT). As the Earth orbits the Sun and we look out into space each night the stars will appear to have moved across the sky by a small amount. Every month Earth moves one twelfth of its circuit around the Sun, this amounts to 30 degrees each month. There are about 30 days in each month so each night the stars appear to move about 1 degree. The sky will therefore appear the same as shown on the chart above at 10 o’clock GMT at the beginning of the month and at 8 o’clock GMT at the end of the month. The stars also appear to move 15º (360º divided by 24) each hour from east to west, due to the Earth rotating once every 24 hours. The centre of the chart will be the position in the sky directly overhead, called the Zenith. First we need to find some familiar objects so we can get our bearings. The Pole Star Polaris can be easily found by first finding the familiar shape of the Great Bear ‘Ursa Major’ that is also 1 sometimes called the Plough or even the Big Dipper by the Americans. Ursa Major is visible throughout the year from Britain and is always easy to find. This month it is in the north east.

    Messier Objects

    Messier Objects From the Stocker Astroscience Center at Florida International University Miami Florida The Messier Project Main contributors: • Daniel Puentes • Steven Revesz • Bobby Martinez Charles Messier • Gabriel Salazar • Riya Gandhi • Dr. James Webb – Director, Stocker Astroscience center • All images reduced and combined using MIRA image processing software. (Mirametrics) What are Messier Objects? • Messier objects are a list of astronomical sources compiled by Charles Messier, an 18th and early 19th century astronomer. He created a list of distracting objects to avoid while comet hunting. This list now contains over 110 objects, many of which are the most famous astronomical bodies known. The list contains planetary nebula, star clusters, and other galaxies. - Bobby Martinez The Telescope The telescope used to take these images is an Astronomical Consultants and Equipment (ACE) 24- inch (0.61-meter) Ritchey-Chretien reflecting telescope. It has a focal ratio of F6.2 and is supported on a structure independent of the building that houses it. It is equipped with a Finger Lakes 1kx1k CCD camera cooled to -30o C at the Cassegrain focus. It is equipped with dual filter wheels, the first containing UBVRI scientific filters and the second RGBL color filters. Messier 1 Found 6,500 light years away in the constellation of Taurus, the Crab Nebula (known as M1) is a supernova remnant. The original supernova that formed the crab nebula was observed by Chinese, Japanese and Arab astronomers in 1054 AD as an incredibly bright “Guest star” which was visible for over twenty-two months. The supernova that produced the Crab Nebula is thought to have been an evolved star roughly ten times more massive than the Sun.

Public Star Party Follows at the It’s that time of year when obstacles appear in the sky. In particular, this year is Centennial Obs. loaded with fog. It got in the way of letting us see the dance of the Jovian moons late last month, and it’s hindered our views of other unique shows. Still, members Club Officers reported finding enough of a clear sky to let us see Comet Lovejoy, and some great photos by members are popping up on the Facebook page. Robert Mayer, President This month, however, is a great opportunity to see the benefit of something [email protected] getting in the way. Our own Chris Anderson of the Herrett Center has been using 208-312-1203 the Centennial Observatory’s scope to do work on occultation’s, particularly with asteroids. This month’s MVAS meeting on Feb. 14th will give him the stage to Terry Wofford, Vice President show us just how this all works. [email protected] The following weekend may also be the time the weather allows us to resume 208-308-1821 MVAS-only star parties. Feb. 21 is a great window for a possible star party; we’ll announce the location if the weather permits. However, if we don’t get that Gary Leavitt, Secretary window, we’ll fall back on what has become a MVAS tradition: Planetarium night [email protected] at the Herrett Center.
  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

    The List of Possible Double and Multiple Open Clusters Between Galactic Longitudes 240O and 270O

    The list of possible double and multiple open clusters between galactic longitudes 240o and 270o Juan Casado Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, 08193, Bellaterra, Catalonia, Spain Email: [email protected] Abstract This work studies the candidate double and multiple open clusters (OCs) in the galactic sector from l = 240o to l = 270o, which contains the Vela-Puppis star formation region. To do that, we have searched the most recent and complete catalogues of OCs by hand to get an extensive list of 22 groups of OCs involving 80 candidate members. Gaia EDR3 has been used to review some of the candidate OCs and look for new OCs near the candidate groups. Gaia data also permitted filtering out most of the field sources that are not member stars of the OCs. The plotting of combined colour-magnitude diagrams of candidate pairs has allowed, in several cases, endorsing or discarding their link. The most likely systems are formed by OCs less than 0.1 Gyr old, with only one eccentric OC in this respect. No probable system of older OCs has been found. Preliminary estimations of the fraction of known OCs that form part of groups (9.4 to 15%) support the hypothesis that the Galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud are similar in this respect. The results indicate that OCs are born in groups like stars are born in OCs. Keywords Binary open clusters; Open cluster groups; Open cluster formation; Gaia; Manual search; Large Magellanic Cloud. 1. Introduction Open clusters are formed in giant molecular clouds and there is observational evidence suggesting that they can form in groups (Camargo et al.
