The registration process will begin at a special Town Meeting, which will be devoted to the introduction of the online Course Catalogue (including a preview of new courses) and an overview of the course registration process. Following the Town Meeting, cluster advisers will share a Course Registration Packet with each of their advisees. The packet will include the student’s current academic transcript, a Transcript Audit Review Form, and a Course Selection Form. Although it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to complete his/her Course Selection Form, this process works best when students consult with teachers, cluster advisors, and parents/guardians to make informed decisions. It is advised that each student utilize the Transcript Review Audit Form to ensure that adequate progress is being made toward all Calhoun graduation requirements.

No No unlimited duration. This written thesis follows processes where social questions yield artistic practices, that I call tools. In addition to this document being a thesis, this is a journal, and an open access archive, and a toolkit. I have written this thesis keeping in mind a not-too-long-ago moment in time when I was working as a dancer and felt a desperation for the lack of tools and know-how to work with people in a way that is socially sustainable. Thus, this thesis works partly with questions that span much longer temporalities than the frame of these MA studies. I open the thesis with the question I seem to have embraced the longest in my life: what is it to be good to one another? Thus, my intention is to indicate how artistic questions are embedded in life.

Here, a nearby sample of isolated Milky Way- class edge-on galaxies is introduced, to facilitate observational campaigns to detect the associated families of dwarf galaxies at low surface brightness. Three galaxy pairs with at least one of the targets being edge-on are also introduced. Approximately 60% of the arXiv:1703.05356v2 [astro-ph.GA] 19 Mar 2017 catalogued isolated galaxies contain bulges of different size, while the remaining objects appear to be bulgeless.

Received 2003 September 2; in original form 2003 July 22 ABSTRACT We reassess the applicability of the Toomre criterion in galactic discs and we study the local star formation law in 16 disc galaxies for which abundance gradients are published. The data we use consist of stellar light profiles, atomic and molecular gas (deduced from CO with a metallicity-dependent conversion factor), star formation rates (from Ha emissivities), metal- licities, dispersion velocities and rotation curves. We show that the Toomre criterion applies successfully to the case of the Milky Way disc, but it has limited success with the data of our sample; depending on whether or not the stellar component is included in the stability analysis, we find average values for the threshold ratio of the gas surface density to the critical surface density in the range 0.5-0.7. We also test various star formation laws proposed in the literature, i.e. either the simple Schmidt law or modifications of it, that take into account dynamical fac- tors.

  • Estimation of the Masses of Selected Stars of Pulkovo Program by Means
    Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics manuscript no. (LATEX: ShakhtGorshanov.tex; printed on July 17, 2018; 19:47) Estimation of the masses of selected stars of Pulkovo program by means of astrometry methods. N.A.Shakht1, D.L.Gorshanov1 and O.O.Vasilkova1 Central (Pulkovo) Astronomical Observatory of Russian Academy of Sciences, St-Petersburg,Russia; [email protected] Abstract Stars of Pulkovo observatory program are observed on 65-cm refractor during many years for study their positions and movement. We represent example of two visual bi- nary stars, for which orbits and masses of components were determined, and two astrometric stars, for which masses of their unseen companions have been estimated. The first stars are: ADS 14636 (61 Cygni) and ADS 7251 and others are: Gliese 623 and ADS 8035 (Alpha UMa). The direct astrometric methods were used for estimation of mass-ratio and masses. Key words: stellar masses, orbits, binaries individual: 61 Cygni, Alpha UMa, Gliese 623, ADS 7251 1 INTRODUCTION The mass of the star is one of its most important characteristics. Amount of matter in a star determines its temperature and pressure in the center, and also determines other characteristics of the star and then its evolutionary path. Direct estimates of the mass of the star are made on the basis of the law of universal arXiv:1802.04044v1 [astro-ph.SR] 12 Feb 2018 gravitation.The study of binary stars has allowed to establish the unity of Newton’s laws in the Universe and to obtain the fundamental knowledge about the masses of stars on the basis of observations.
