  • 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).

  • Binocular Challenges
    This page intentionally left blank Cosmic Challenge Listing more than 500 sky targets, both near and far, in 187 challenges, this observing guide will test novice astronomers and advanced veterans alike. Its unique mix of Solar System and deep-sky targets will have observers hunting for the Apollo lunar landing sites, searching for satellites orbiting the outermost planets, and exploring hundreds of star clusters, nebulae, distant galaxies, and quasars. Each target object is accompanied by a rating indicating how difficult the object is to find, an in-depth visual description, an illustration showing how the object realistically looks, and a detailed finder chart to help you find each challenge quickly and effectively. The guide introduces objects often overlooked in other observing guides and features targets visible in a variety of conditions, from the inner city to the dark countryside. Challenges are provided for viewing by the naked eye, through binoculars, to the largest backyard telescopes. Philip S. Harrington is the author of eight previous books for the amateur astronomer, including Touring the Universe through Binoculars, Star Ware, and Star Watch. He is also a contributing editor for Astronomy magazine, where he has authored the magazine’s monthly “Binocular Universe” column and “Phil Harrington’s Challenge Objects,” a quarterly online column on Astronomy.com.

Gies December 15, 1992 - September 30, 1995 Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy Department of Physics and Astronomy Georgia State University Atlanta, GA 30303-3083 NASA International Ultraviolet Explorer Observatory Grant NAG 5-2148 1. Project Summary This grant was awarded in support of an observational study with the NASA [UE Observatory during the 15th episode (1992), and it subsequently also supported our continuing work in 16th (1994) and 18th (1995) episodes. The project involved the study of FUV spectra of massive spectroscopic binary systems containing hot stars of spectral type O. We applied a Doppler tomography algorithm to reconstruct the individual component UV spectra of stars in order to obtain improved estimates of the temperature, gravity, UV intensity ratio, and projected rotational velocity for stars in each system, and to make a preliminary survey for abundance anomalies through comparison with standard spectra. We also investigated the orbital phase-related variations in the UV stellar wind lines to probe the geometries of wind-wind collisions in these systems. The project directly supported two Ph.D. dissertations at Georgia State University (by Penny and Thaller), and we are grateful for this support. No inventions were made in the performance of this work. Detailed results are summarized in the abstracts listed in the following section. 2 2. Bibliography • Gies,D. R., Mason,B. D., Hartkopf, W.
