  • 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.

  • Investigating the Beehive Cluster with Gaia Blaise Whitesell — Astronomy Capstone 2019
    Investigating the Beehive Cluster with Gaia Blaise Whitesell — Astronomy Capstone 2019 In this problem set, we will explore the capabilities of the publicly available data from Gaia DR2, which can be found at http://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/ or queried directly from within Python. We will focus on a single target: the Beehive cluster (M44, also known as Praesepe or NGC 2632). This open cluster is located at a distance of roughly 200 pc in the constellation Cancer with coordinates (α; δ) = (130:1°; 19:67°). We will download Gaia data in the vicinity of the cluster, select only the stars belonging to the cluster, and then characterize the properties of those stars in the cluster. 1. Getting Data For our analysis we need these columns from the Gaia DR2 database gaiadr2.gaia_source: source_id A numeric identifier for the object ra Right ascension (degrees) dec Declination (degrees) parallax Parallax (mas) pmra Proper motion in right ascension (mas/yr) pmdec Proper motion in declination (mas/yr) phot_g_mean_mag Magnitude in Gaia G band (mags) bp_rp Gaia BP–RP color (mags) Select objects within 4 degrees of the cluster center. At the rough distance of the Beehive cluster, how many parsecs does that correspond to? We want to include objects at least that far in front and behind the cluster. Since we don’t know distances as precisely, we should expand the range by a factor of 3 or 4 to avoid missing cluster stars. What parallaxes (in mas) does this distance range correspond to? Use those parallax values as conditions to exclude objects far away from the cluster.

Please join us for stargazing and educational activities. Please arrive on time to avoid headlight distraction. – For notice of “impromptu star parties” not listed, send e-mail to [email protected] to request e-mail notification of unscheduled observing sessions. – Events will be cancelled if skies are cloudy. Always check website for star party status two hours before event. – This is an outdoor activity in an unheated environment. Nighttime temperatures drop rapidly, even during summer. A general rule of thumb is to dress for 15 degrees cooler than predicted nighttime low temperature. – Please respect those who set up their telescopes. Children should be supervised at all times. The observatory grounds are no place for toys or tomfoolery. – Please, No Smoking on observatory grounds. Smoke reacts with optical surfaces, damaging optical coatings. – Please, no use of cell phones or tablets in observatory (to preserve night vision). April 18 – 8:15pm July 18 – 9:00pm Venus is well placed for observing early, and then we’ll view Come out to view open cluster NGC6633, Wild Duck Ghost of Jupiter and the beautiful star cluster M37 through Cluster, Ring Nebula, M26 Star Cloud, and Swan Nebula the 16” observatory telescope and view Beehive Cluster using an OIII filter. through the 100mm wide field telescope.

  • The Radio Properties of a Complete Sample of Bright Galaxies
    Aust. J. Phys., 1982,35,321-50 The Radio Properties of a Complete Sample of Bright Galaxies J. I. Harnett School of Physics, University of Sydney, Sydney, N.S.W. 2006. Abstract Results are given for the radio continuum properties of an optically complete sample of 294 bright galaxies, 147 of which have been detected. Data were obtained with the 408 MHz Molonglo Radio Telescope. The radio luminosity functions for all galaxies and for spiral galaxies alone are derived and the radio emission for different galaxy types is investigated. Spectral indices of 73 galaxies which had been detected at other frequencies were derived; the mean index of a reliable subsample is <ex) = -0,71. 1. Introduction There have been many extensive surveys of continuum radio emission from bright galaxies. The earliest comprehensive survey of high sensitivity was that of Cameron (1971a, 1971b) using the Molonglo Cross Radio Telescope at 408 MHz. Cameron observed two optically complete samples south of b = + 18° and defined the radio luminosity function with reasonable statistics at radio powers of ~ 1022 W HZ-I. In the past decade the optical properties of galaxies have been revised so that the selection of an optically complete sample is more reliable. In addition, between 1970 and 1978 the sensitivity of the 408 MHz Molonglo Cross was improved by more than a magnitude, permitting more detections and more accurate measurements of weak' radio emission. Before observations at 408 MHz with the Molonglo Cross ceased in 1978, a new survey was made to improve Cameron's results and provide the best possible data base for subsequent investigations at different frequencies.

  • Rotation Curves of High-Resolution LSB and SPARC Galaxies with Fuzzy and Multistate (Ultralight Boson) Scalar field Dark Matter

Received 2017 December 8; in original form 2017 January 4 ABSTRACT Cold dark matter (CDM) has shown to be an excellent candidate for the dark matter (DM) of the Universe at large scales; however, it presents some challenges at the galactic level. The scalar field dark matter (SFDM), also called fuzzy, wave, Bose–Einstein condensate, or ultralight axion DM, is identical to CDM at cosmological scales but different at the galactic ones. SFDM forms core haloes, it has a natural cut-off in its matter power spectrum, and it predicts well-formed galaxies at high redshifts. In this work we reproduce the rotation curves of high- resolution low surface brightness (LSB) and SPARC galaxies with two SFDM profiles: (1) the soliton+NFW profile in the fuzzy DM (FDM) model, arising empirically from cosmological simulations of real, non-interacting scalar field (SF) at zero temperature, and (2) the multistate SFDM (mSFDM) profile, an exact solution to the Einstein–Klein–Gordon equations for a real, self-interacting SF, with finite temperature into the SF potential, introducing several quantum states as a realistic model for an SFDM halo.
