  • Filter Performance Comparisons for Some Common Nebulae
    Filter Performance Comparisons For Some Common Nebulae By Dave Knisely Light Pollution and various “nebula” filters have been around since the late 1970’s, and amateurs have been using them ever since to bring out detail (and even some objects) which were difficult to impossible to see before in modest apertures. When I started using them in the early 1980’s, specific information about which filter might work on a given object (or even whether certain filters were useful at all) was often hard to come by. Even those accounts that were available often had incomplete or inaccurate information. Getting some observational experience with the Lumicon line of filters helped, but there were still some unanswered questions. I wondered how the various filters would rank on- average against each other for a large number of objects, and whether there was a “best overall” filter. In particular, I also wondered if the much-maligned H-Beta filter was useful on more objects than the two or three targets most often mentioned in publications. In the summer of 1999, I decided to begin some more comprehensive observations to try and answer these questions and determine how to best use these filters overall. I formulated a basic survey covering a moderate number of emission and planetary nebulae to obtain some statistics on filter performance to try to address the following questions: 1. How do the various filter types compare as to what (on average) they show on a given nebula? 2. Is there one overall “best” nebula filter which will work on the largest number of objects? 3.

On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. Close to the horizon is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan with the handle stretching to your left. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The two right-hand stars are called the Pointers. Can you tell that the higher of the two, Dubhe is slightly yellowish compared to the lower, Merak? Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white- hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you upwards to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the left are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris.

  • Spaziergang Unter Sternen“ – Im Tübinger Ferienprogramm 2012 Ausgerichtet Von Der Astronomischen Vereinigung Tübingen E.V
    „Spaziergang unter Sternen“ – im Tübinger Ferienprogramm 2012 Ausgerichtet von der Astronomischen Vereinigung Tübingen e.V. = AVT (www.sternwarte-tuebingen.de); Wolfgang Martin Wettlaufer Der Sternenhimmel – in der freien Natur ist der nur zu erkennen unter einem dunklen Firmament. Weil die Sterne so unglaublich weit in der Ferne stehen, erscheinen sie uns nur als feine Lichtpunkte. Trotzdem sind sie gewaltige Himmelskörper wie ‚unser‘ Stern: die Sonne, und deshalb vermögen sie so blendend zu leuchten wie sie. Wie groß, wie hell und wie fern uns die Gestirne sind, das zu erkennen haben Astronomen lange forschen müssen! Wir wollen ein wenig über sie erfahren, während wir mit bloßen Augen und mit Ferngläsern zu ihnen aufblicken (abschließend noch mit den großen Teleskopen der Sternwarte). Auch ein paar von den 88 Sternbildern, die es am Himmel gibt, werden wir kennenlernen; oft bilden weniger helle Sterne ihre Umrisse. Deshalb wählen wir uns für einen tieferen Blick auf dieses große „Naturschauspiel“ auch einen mondlosen Abend, und dazu einen Ort, der möglichst weitab vom Streulicht der vielen Lampen gelegen ist. An den Anfang stellen wir nun ein wenig bekanntes Sternbild, das sich im Spätsommer und Herbst aber gut beobachten läßt; es steht abends im Norden hoch am Himmel: CEPHEUS. Benannt nach einem König aus der antiken griechischen Sagenwelt (die Nachbar-Sternbilder Cassiopeia = das „Himmels-W“, und Andromeda gehören auch dazu), zeigt es uns einige „bunte“ Sterne – rötlich oder blau sind sie gefärbt, was uns richtig erst im Fernglas oder Fernrohr auffällt!

  • The Impact of Giant Stellar Outflows on Molecular Clouds
    The Impact of Giant Stellar Outflows on Molecular Clouds A thesis presented by H´ector G. Arce Nazario to The Department of Astronomy in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Astronomy Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts October, 2001 c 2001, by H´ector G. Arce Nazario All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Thesis Advisor: Alyssa A. Goodman Thesis by: H´ector G. Arce Nazario We use new millimeter wavelength observations to reveal the important effects that giant (parsec-scale) outflows from young stars have on their surroundings. We find that giant outflows have the potential to disrupt their host cloud, and/or drive turbulence there. In addition, our study confirms that episodicity and a time-varying ejection axis are common characteristics of giant outflows. We carried out our study by mapping, in great detail, the surrounding molecular gas and parent cloud of two giant Herbig-Haro (HH) flows; HH 300 and HH 315. Our study shows that these giant HH flows have been able to entrain large amounts of molecular gas, as the molecular outflows they have produced have masses of 4 to 7 M |which is approximately 5 to 10% of the total quiescent gas mass in their parent clouds. These outflows have injected substantial amounts of −1 momentum and kinetic energy on their parent cloud, in the order of 10 M km s and 1044 erg, respectively. We find that both molecular outflows have energies comparable to their parent clouds' turbulent and gravitationally binding energies. In addition, these outflows have been able to redistribute large amounts of their surrounding medium-density (n ∼ 103 cm−3) gas, thereby sculpting their parent cloud and affecting its density and velocity distribution at distances as large as 1 to 1.5 pc from the outflow source.

  • Physical Processes in the Interstellar Medium
    Physical Processes in the Interstellar Medium Ralf S. Klessen and Simon C. O. Glover Abstract Interstellar space is filled with a dilute mixture of charged particles, atoms, molecules and dust grains, called the interstellar medium (ISM). Understand- ing its physical properties and dynamical behavior is of pivotal importance to many areas of astronomy and astrophysics. Galaxy formation and evolu- tion, the formation of stars, cosmic nucleosynthesis, the origin of large com- plex, prebiotic molecules and the abundance, structure and growth of dust grains which constitute the fundamental building blocks of planets, all these processes are intimately coupled to the physics of the interstellar medium. However, despite its importance, its structure and evolution is still not fully understood. Observations reveal that the interstellar medium is highly tur- bulent, consists of different chemical phases, and is characterized by complex structure on all resolvable spatial and temporal scales. Our current numerical and theoretical models describe it as a strongly coupled system that is far from equilibrium and where the different components are intricately linked to- gether by complex feedback loops. Describing the interstellar medium is truly a multi-scale and multi-physics problem. In these lecture notes we introduce the microphysics necessary to better understand the interstellar medium. We review the relations between large-scale and small-scale dynamics, we con- sider turbulence as one of the key drivers of galactic evolution, and we review the physical processes that lead to the formation of dense molecular clouds and that govern stellar birth in their interior.

  • 'Signalling to Mars' to Making Variable Star Observations - a New Observer's Story Janet Simpson
    FROM 'SIGNALLING TO MARS' TO MAKING VARIABLE STAR OBSERVATIONS - A NEW OBSERVER'S STORY JANET SIMPSON My interest in astronomy which started with Dick and signaling Mars in Arthur Ransome's Winter Holiday, was further fed by my friendship with Margaret Evershed, the second wife of the astronomer John Evershed (1864-1956), and, related to Astronomy, a year's passion with Geology at school. It lay dormant through years of Art College and bringing up a family, until a chance siting of astronomy telescopes in a photography shop was followed, soon after, by the purchase of an ETX 90 EC; I also joined the Southampton Astronomical Society (both helpful and inspiring). I struggled to point the ETX in the right direction, catching a fleeting glimpse of Saturn. It was much easier to find objects with binoculars. I often just searched the night sky with my bird-watching 8.5x44s, and planisphere, learning my way around. I tried with varying success to use the setting circles. I was thrilled to find the Andromeda galaxy, and something very faint and fuzzy in Virgo, and followed the comet Ikea-Zhang on clear nights. I started chopping down trees in the garden to open out the sky. From the start I had decided that I was most interested in Deep Sky objects. A breakthrough came with a copy of Penningtons Year round Messier Marathon and a Telrad finder. As yet, I have not had such success finding things even with my 10" LXD55 GoTo, admittedly in storage for most of this year due to our move from the New Forest to the shore of Loch Fyne, Scotland.

  • Oregon Star Party Advanced Observing List
    Welcome to the OSP Advanced Observing List In a sincere attempt to lure more of you into trying the Advanced List, each object has a page telling you what it is, why it’s interesting to observe, and the minimum size telescope you might need to see it. I’ve included coordinates, the constellation each object is located in, and either a chart or photo (or both) showing what the object looks like and how it’s situated in the sky. All you have to do is observe and enjoy the challenge. Stretch your skill and imagination - see something new, something unimaginably old, something unexpected Even though this is a challenging list, you don’t need 20 years of observing experience or a 20 inch telescope to be successful – although in some cases that will help. The only way to see these cool objects for yourself is to give them a go. Howard Banich, The minimum aperture listed for each object is a rough estimate. The idea is to Chuck Dethloff and show approximately what size telescope might be needed to successfully observe Matt Vartanian that particular object. The range is 3 to 28 inches. collaborated on this The visibility of each object assumes decently good OSP observing conditions. year’s list. Requirements to receive a certificate 1. There are 14 objects to choose from. Descriptive notes and/or sketches that clearly show you observed 10 objects are needed to receive the observing certificate. For instance, you can mark up these photos and charts with lines and arrows, and add a few notes describing what you saw.
