In one myth, Orion boasted he would kill all the wild animals on the earth. But, the earth goddess Gaia, who was the protector of all animals, produced a gigantic scorpion, whose body was so heavily encased that Orion was unable to pierce through the armour, and was himself stung to death. His companion Artemis was greatly saddened and arranged for Orion to be immortalised among the stars. Scorpius, the scorpion, was placed on the opposite side of the sky so that Orion would never be hurt by it again. To this day, Orion is never seen in the sky at the same time as Scorpius.

Práce obsahuje několik tradičních i neobvyklých metod pro studii otevřených hvězdokup. V práci je kladen důraz na komplexnost propojením dílčích výsledků. Pomocí převzatých astrometrických dat byl proveden morfologický a dynamický rozbor hvězdokupy. Z naměřených spektroskopických dat byly určeny některé obecné parametry pro celou hvězdokupu. Za použití vlastní absolutní CCD fotometrie a výsledků z astro- metrické a spektroskopické studie byly nalezeny zbylé parametry hvězdokupy. Nalezené parametry byly porovnány s hodnotami z předchozích studií. Abstract This diploma thesis deals with complex study of the open cluster NGC 2281.

  • A. L. Observing Programs Object Duplications
    A. L. OBSERVING PROGRAMS OBJECT DUPLICATIONS Compiled by Bill Warren Note: This report is limited to the following A. L. observing programs: Arp Peculiar Galaxies; Binocular Messier; Caldwell; Deep Sky Binocular; Galaxy Groups & Clusters; Globular Cluster; Herschel 400; Herschel II; Lunar; Messier; Open Cluster; Planetary Nebula; Universe Sampler; and Urban. It does not include the other A. L. observing programs, none of which contain duplicated objects. Like the A. L. itself, I’m using constellation names, not genitives (e.g., Orion, not Orionis) with double stars as an aid for beginners who might be referencing this. -Bill Warren Considerable duplication exists among the various A.L. observing programs. In fact, no less than 228 objects (8 lunar, 14 double stars and 206 deep-sky) appear in more than one program. For example, M42 is on the lists of the Messier, Binocular Messier, Universe Sampler and Urban Program. Duplication is important because, with certain exceptions noted below, if you observe an object once you can use that same observation in other A. L. programs in which that object appears. Of the 110 Messiers, 102 of them are also on the Binocular Messier list (18x50 version). To qualify for a Binocular Messier pin, you need only to find any 70 of them. Of course, they are duplicates only when you observe them in binocs; otherwise, they must be observed separately. Among its 100 targets, the Urban Program contains 41 Messiers, 14 Double Stars and 27 other deep-sky objects that appear on other lists. However, they are duplicates only if they are observed under light-polluted conditions; otherwise, they must be observed separately.

Bordeaux, CNRS, UMR 5804, 33615 Pessac, France Received 26 May 2017 / Accepted 29 January 2018 ABSTRACT Context. The Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) subset of the first Gaia catalogue contains an unprecedented sample of proper motions and parallaxes for two million stars brighter than G 12 mag. Aims. We take advantage of the full astrometric solution available∼ for those stars to identify the members of known open clusters and compute mean cluster parameters using either TGAS or the fourth U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC4) proper motions, and TGAS parallaxes. Methods. We apply an unsupervised membership assignment procedure to select high probability cluster members, we use a Bayesian/Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to fit stellar isochrones to the observed 2MASS JHKS magnitudes of the member stars and derive cluster parameters (age, metallicity, extinction, distance modulus), and we combine TGAS data with spectroscopic radial velocities to compute full Galactic orbits.

  • Binocular Universe: Aurigan Treasures
    Binocular Universe: Aurigan Treasures February 2012 Phil Harrington ead outside this evening and take a look high overhead. If you live in midnorthern latitudes, you will find a lone beacon cresting near the zenith as Hthe sky darkens. That's Capella, the Alpha (α) star of the constellation Auriga the Charioteer. Tracing back to ancient Rome, the name Capella translates as "She-Goat," a reference to the position it holds in the picture of the Charioteer. He is often portrayed as holding a goat and two kids in his arms. Above: Winter star map from Star Watch by Phil Harrington. Finder chart for this month's Binocular Universe, adapted from TUBA, www.philharrington.net/tuba.htm Today, we know that Capella is actually a binary star system lying some 42 light years away. Each of Capella's suns is classified as a type-G yellow star, like our Sun. That means that all three have roughly the same surface temperature, although our yellow dwarf Sun is only about one-tenth as large as either of the Capella giants. There is little hope of spotting the two Capella component stars through even the largest telescopes, since they are only separated by about 60 million miles, less than the distance from the Sun to Venus. The Charioteer’s pentagonal body highlights a wonderful area of the winter sky to scan with binoculars. There, you will find three of the season’s brightest open star clusters as well as an array of lesser known targets. M38, one of Auriga's three Messier open clusters, is centrally positioned within Auriga’s pentagonal body.

  • AL Urban Observing Program
    AL Urban Observing Program Introduction The purpose of the Urban Program is to bring amateur astronomy back to the cities, back to those areas that are affected by heavy light pollution. Amateur astronomy used to be called "backyard astronomy". This was in the days when light pollution was not a problem, and you could pursue your hobby from the comfort of your backyard. But as cities grew, so did light pollution, and the amateur astronomer was forced to drive further and further out into the country to escape that light pollution. It is not uncommon today for a city dweller to drive 100 miles to enjoy his/her hobby. But many people do not have the time or the resources to drive great distances to achieve dark skies. That is the reason for the creation of this program, to allow those who want to enjoy the wonders of the heavens in the comfort of their own neighborhoods to do so, and to maximize the observing experience despite the presence of heavy light pollution. The list of Urban Program objects consists of 87 deep-sky objects, 12 double stars and 1 variable star. The objects on this list have been observed from the East Coast to Middle America to the West Coast, and from major metropolitan areas like Miami, Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles. Sky limiting magnitudes went from a high of 4, down to 2, to a "Geez" on one particularly bad evening. Instruments ranged from a six-inch reflector to a ten-inch SCT. There is a world of objects out there that can be enjoyed under even poor skies, and it only takes a small to medium sized telescope to enjoy them.

  • New Catalogue of Blue Stragglers in Open Clusters
    A&A 463, 789–797 (2007) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20054590 & c ESO 2007 Astrophysics New catalogue of blue stragglers in open clusters J. A. Ahumada and E. Lapasset Observatorio Astronómico, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Laprida 854, 5000 Córdoba, Argentina e-mail: [javier;lapasset]@oac.uncor.edu Received 25 November 2005 / Accepted 26 September 2006 ABSTRACT We present a catalogue of blue-straggler candidates in galactic open clusters. It is based on the inspection of the colour–magnitude diagrams of the clusters, and it updates and supersedes the first version (Ahumada & Lapasset 1995). A new bibliographical search was made for each cluster, and the resulting information is organised into two tables. Some methodological aspects have been revised, in particular those concerning the delimitation of the area in the diagrams where the stragglers are selected. A total of 1887 blue-straggler candidates have been found in 427 open clusters of all ages, doubling the original number. The catalogued stars are classified into two categories mainly according to membership information. Key words. catalogs – open clusters and associations: general – stars: blue stragglers 1.
