Battaglia1, 2, and S. Taibi1, 2 1 Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, calle Via Lactea s/n, E-38205 La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain e-mail: [email protected] 2 Universidad de La Laguna, Dpto. Astrofisica, E-38206 La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain 3 INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Vicolo dell’Osservatorio 5, I-35122 Padova, Italy ABSTRACT A wealth of tiny galactic systems populates the surroundings of the Milky Way. However, some of these objects might actually have their origin as former satellites of the Magellanic Clouds, in particular of the LMC. Examples of the importance of understanding how many systems are genuine satellites of the Milky Way or the LMC are the implications that the number and luminosity/mass function of satellites around hosts of different mass have for dark matter theories and the treatment of baryonic physics in simulations of structure formation. Here we aim at deriving the bulk motions and estimates of the internal velocity dispersion and metallicity properties in four recently discovered distant southern dwarf galaxy candidates, Columba I, Reticulum III, Phoenix II and Horologium II. We combine Gaia DR2 astrometric measurements, photometry and new FLAMES/GIRAFFE intermediate resolution spectroscopic data in the region of the near-IR Ca II triplet lines; such combination is essential for finding potential member stars in these low luminosity systems. We find very likely member stars in all four satellites and are able to determine (or place limits on) the systems bulk motions and average internal properties.

  • The Constellation Microscopium, the Microscope Microscopium Is A
    The Constellation Microscopium, the Microscope Microscopium is a small constellation in the southern sky, defined in the 18th century by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in 1751–52 . Its name is Latin for microscope; it was invented by Lacaille to commemorate the compound microscope, i.e. one that uses more than one lens. The first microscope was invented by the two brothers, Hans and Zacharius Jensen, Dutch spectacle makers of Holland in 1590, who were also involved in the invention of the telescope (see below). Lacaille first showed it on his map of 1756 under the name le Microscope but Latinized this to Microscopium on the second edition published in 1763. He described it as consisting of "a tube above a square box". It contains sixty-nine stars, varying in magnitude from 4.8 to 7, the lucida being Gamma Microscopii of apparent magnitude 4.68. Two star systems have been found to have planets, while another has a debris disk. The stars that now comprise Microscopium may formerly have belonged to the hind feet of Sagittarius. However, this is uncertain as, while its stars seem to be referred to by Al-Sufi as having been seen by Ptolemy, Al-Sufi does not specify their exact positions. Microscopium is bordered Capricornus to the north, Piscis Austrinus and Grus to the west, Sagittarius to the east, Indus to the south, and touching on Telescopium to the southeast. The recommended three-letter abbreviation for the constellation, as adopted Seen in the 1824 star chart set Urania's Mirror (lower left) by the International Astronomical Union in 1922, is 'Mic'.

It consists of a humorous 24-minute show and educator’s package. The Orion Educator’s Guide is designed for Planetarians, Teachers, and parents. The information is researched, organized, and laid out so that the educator need not spend hours coming up with lesson plans or labs. This has already been accomplished by certified educators. The guide is written to alleviate the fear of space and the night sky (that many elementary and middle school teachers have) when it comes to that section of the science lesson plan. It is an excellent tool that allows the parents to be a part of the learning experience. The guide is devised in such a way that there are plenty of visuals to assist the educator and student in finding the Winter constellations.

  • These Sky Maps Were Made Using the Freeware UNIX Program "Starchart", from Alan Paeth and Craig Counterman, with Some Postprocessing by Stuart Levy
    These sky maps were made using the freeware UNIX program "starchart", from Alan Paeth and Craig Counterman, with some postprocessing by Stuart Levy. You’re free to use them however you wish. There are five equatorial maps: three covering the equatorial strip from declination −60 to +60 degrees, corresponding roughly to the evening sky in northern winter (eq1), spring (eq2), and summer/autumn (eq3), plus maps covering the north and south polar areas to declination about +/− 25 degrees. Grid lines are drawn at every 15 degrees of declination, and every hour (= 15 degrees at the equator) of right ascension. The equatorial−strip maps use a simple rectangular projection; this shows constellations near the equator with their true shape, but those at declination +/− 30 degrees are stretched horizontally by about 15%, and those at the extreme 60−degree edge are plotted twice as wide as you’ll see them on the sky. The sinusoidal curve spanning the equatorial strip is, of course, the Ecliptic −− the path of the Sun (and approximately that of the planets) through the sky. The polar maps are plotted with stereographic projection. This preserves shapes of small constellations, but enlarges them as they get farther from the pole; at declination 45 degrees they’re about 17% oversized, and at the extreme 25−degree edge about 40% too large. These charts plot stars down to magnitude 5, along with a few of the brighter deep−sky objects −− mostly star clusters and nebulae. Many stars are labelled with their Bayer Greek−letter names. Also here are similarly−plotted maps, based on galactic coordinates.

  • Morphology and Large-Scale Structure Within the Horologium-Reticulum Supercluster of Galaxies
    Morphology and Large-Scale Structure within the Horologium-Reticulum Supercluster of Galaxies Matthew Clay Fleenor A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Physics & Astronomy. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: James A. Rose Reader: Gerald Cecil Reader: Wayne A. Christiansen Reader: Dan Reichart Reader: Paul Tiesinga c 2006 Matthew Clay Fleenor ii ABSTRACT Matthew Clay Fleenor: Morphology and Large-Scale Structure within the Horologium-Reticulum Supercluster of Galaxies (Under the Direction of James A. Rose) We have undertaken a comprehensive spectroscopic survey of the Horologium-Reticulum supercluster (HRS) of galaxies. With a concentration on the intercluster regions, our goal is to resolve the “cosmic web” of filaments, voids, and sheets within the HRS and to examine the interrelationship between them. What are the constituents of the HRS? What can be understood about the formation of such a behemoth from these current constituents? More locally, are there small-scale imprints of the larger, surrounding environment, and can we relate the two with any confidence? What is the relationship between the HRS and the other superclusters in the nearby universe? These are the questions driving our inquiry. To answer them, we have obtained over 2500 galaxy redshifts in the direction of the intercluster regions in the HRS. Specifically, we have developed a sample of galaxies with a limiting brightness of bJ < 17.5, which samples the galaxy luminosity function down to one magnitude below M⋆ at the mean redshift of the HRS,z ¯ ≈ 0.06.
