  • 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 scope was housed in a 4.5 meter dome (which came in very handy on windy nights) and outfitted with DSC's and it could be converted to use with a bino-viewer. Because I was trying to survey the full gamut of DSO's mostly below -50° (I easily could have spent the entire time just on the Large Magellanic Cloud!), I generally stuck to eye-candy -- and there was plenty to feast on! - and was really loafing it with an 18" on these brighter planetaries (everything below was immediately visible once in the field). Some of these were reobservations for me but from northern California I never had a really good look.

Printed in U.S.A. 6ApJS. 197 EVOLVED STARS IN OPEN CLUSTERS Gretchen L. H. Harris* David Dunlap Observatory, Richmond Hill, Ontario Received 1974 September 16; revised 1975 June 18 ABSTRACT Radial-velocity observations and MK classifications have been used to study evolved stars in 25 open clusters. Published data on stars in 72 additional clusters are rediscussed and com- bined with the observations friade in this investigation to yield positions in the Hertzsprung- Russell diagram for 559 evolved stars in 97 clusters. Ages for the parent clusters were estimated from the main-sequence turnoff points, earliest spectral types, and bluest stars in the clusters themselves. The evolved stars were sorted into six age groups ranging from 4 x 106 yr to 4 x 108 yr, and the composite H-R diagram for each age group was then used to study the evolutionary tracks for stars of various masses. The observational results were found to be in reasonably good agreement with recent theoretical computations. The composite color-magnitude diagrams were found to be strikingly different from those of the rich open clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. At a given age the red giants in the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Large Magellanic Cloud clusters are brighter and bluer than their galactic counterparts. It is suggested that these effects may be accounted for by differences in metal abundance. Subject headings: clusters: open — galaxies: Magellanic Clouds — radial velocities — stars : evolution — stars : late-type — stars : spectral classification 1.

Kaler Index More information Star index Stars are arranged by the Latin genitive of their constellation of residence, with other star names interspersed alphabetically. Within a constellation, Bayer Greek letters are given first, followed by Roman letters, Flamsteed numbers, variable stars arranged in traditional order (see Section 1.11), and then other names that take on genitive form. Stellar spectra are indicated by an asterisk. The best-known proper names have priority over their Greek-letter names. Spectra of the Sun and of nebulae are included as well.

  • Download the 2016 Spring Deep-Sky Challenge
    Deep-sky Challenge 2016 Spring Southern Star Party Explore the Local Group Bonnievale, South Africa Hello! And thanks for taking up the challenge at this SSP! The theme for this Challenge is Galaxies of the Local Group. I’ve written up some notes about galaxies & galaxy clusters (pp 3 & 4 of this document). Johan Brink Peter Harvey Late-October is prime time for galaxy viewing, and you’ll be exploring the James Smith best the sky has to offer. All the objects are visible in binoculars, just make sure you’re properly dark adapted to get the best view. Galaxy viewing starts right after sunset, when the centre of our own Milky Way is visible low in the west. The edge of our spiral disk is draped along the horizon, from Carina in the south to Cygnus in the north. As the night progresses the action turns north- and east-ward as Orion rises, drawing the Milky Way up with it. Before daybreak, the Milky Way spans from Perseus and Auriga in the north to Crux in the South. Meanwhile, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are in pole position for observing. The SMC is perfectly placed at the start of the evening (it culminates at 21:00 on November 30), while the LMC rises throughout the course of the night. Many hundreds of deep-sky objects are on display in the two Clouds, so come prepared! Soon after nightfall, the rich galactic fields of Sculptor and Grus are in view. Gems like Caroline’s Galaxy (NGC 253), the Black-Bottomed Galaxy (NGC 247), the Sculptor Pinwheel (NGC 300), and the String of Pearls (NGC 55) are keen to be viewed.
