André Heck GENERAL LIST of PUBLICATIONS 1964-2020 e-Fonds AH v.2021.3.5 Andr´eHeck GENERAL LIST of PUBLICATIONS 1964-2020 Venngeist Warning The following chronological list is a personal document compiled with the sole purpose of keeping track of what has been published under my authorship/editorship and initiative. Numerous “small” items have been included for the record only. For a list of the most meaningful articles, documents and books in astronomy and related fields, please refer to the scientific biography by Joe Hube1 covering up to Year 2014 and with the contributions sorted out in several categories. The present list represents more than 150,000 published pages of various sizes, but not all of them have been scanned. On one hand, copies of 160 (or so) items were not available anymore in the archive boxes. On the other hand, even if they were differing from one version to the other because of the continual update, it was senseless to scan all (sometimes monthly) editions of the big directories and dictionaries produced by the unit as CDS publications to satisfy the incoming orders. In the available editions, only the first (introductory) pages have been scanned while the ultimate versions (Publ. 1356 & 1357 in Year 2004) have been fully provided in pdf format. Non-personal contributions in books produced as editor have not been listed nor scanned. Compilations such as the present one cannot be absolutely exhaustive, even if pretty close to completion. Finally, it should be emphasized that electronic files are no subsitute for the full collection on paper, but they can support it usefully. Flags used: [book] = full copy of book in archive boxes [dissertation] = full copy of dissertation in archive boxes [full] = full issue of magazine/journal in archive boxes [full/phot] = full issue photocopied in archive boxes [holder] = holder outside archive boxes [lecture notes] = copy of lecture notes in archive boxes [paper] = original article copy in archive boxes [pdf] = pdf copy available in e-Fonds AH directory [phot] = photocopy in archive boxes [unavailable] = no copy at hand for scanning Note that: • 1972 = beginning of refereed astro publishing • 1977 = beginning of the Potins d’Uranie column (till 2014) • 2012 = launch of the non-commercial publishing venture Venngeist • 2015 =Venngeist beginning of the Echos´ des Hauts-Plateaux column (ongoing) ah.

  • THE CONSTELLATION MUSCA, the FLY Musca Australis (Latin: Southern Fly) Is a Small Constellation in the Deep Southern Sky
    THE CONSTELLATION MUSCA, THE FLY Musca Australis (Latin: Southern Fly) is a small constellation in the deep southern sky. It was one of twelve constellations created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman and it first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 in Amsterdam by Plancius and Jodocus Hondius. The first depiction of this constellation in a celestial atlas was in Johann Bayer's Uranometria of 1603. It was also known as Apis (Latin: bee) for two hundred years. Musca remains below the horizon for most Northern Hemisphere observers. Also known as the Southern or Indian Fly, the French Mouche Australe ou Indienne, the German Südliche Fliege, and the Italian Mosca Australe, it lies partly in the Milky Way, south of Crux and east of the Chamaeleon. De Houtman included it in his southern star catalogue in 1598 under the Dutch name De Vlieghe, ‘The Fly’ This title generally is supposed to have been substituted by La Caille, about 1752, for Bayer's Apis, the Bee; but Halley, in 1679, had called it Musca Apis; and even previous to him, Riccioli catalogued it as Apis seu Musca. Even in our day the idea of a Bee prevails, for Stieler's Planisphere of 1872 has Biene, and an alternative title in France is Abeille. When the Northern Fly was merged with Aries by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1929, Musca Australis was given its modern shortened name Musca. It is the only official constellation depicting an insect. Julius Schiller, who redrew and named all the 88 constellations united Musca with the Bird of Paradise and the Chamaeleon as mother Eve.

SECyT-OA Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Córdoba. Santiago Paolantonio 2010 La importancia de la Uranometría1 Argentina descansa en las sólidas bases científicas sobre la cual fue realizada. Esta obra, cuidada en los más pequeños detalles, se debe sin dudas a la genialidad del entonces director del Observatorio Nacional Argentino, Dr. Benjamin A. Gould. Pero nada de esto se habría hecho realidad sin la gran habilidad, el esfuerzo y la dedicación brindada por los cuatro primeros ayudantes del Observatorio, John M. Thome, William M. Davis, Miles Rock y Clarence L. Hathaway, así como de Walter G. Davis y Frank Hagar Bigelow que se integraron más tarde a la institución. Entre éstos, J. M. Thome, merece un lugar destacado por la esmerada revisión, control de las posiciones y determinaciones de brillos, tal como el mismo Director lo reconoce en el prólogo de la publicación. Por otro lado, Albert K. Mansfield tuvo un papel clave en la difícil confección de los mapas del Atlas. La Uranometría Argentina sobresale entre los trabajos realizados hasta ese momento, por múltiples razones: Por la profundidad en magnitud, ya que llega por vez primera en este tipo de empresa a la séptima.

  • Estrellas Variables Y Su Estudio En El Observatorio Nacional Argentino
    ESTRELLAS VARIABLES Y SU ESTUDIO EN EL [1] OBSERVATORIO NACIONAL ARGENTINO Santiago Paolantonio [email protected] www.historiadelaastronomia.wordpress.com El conocimiento de que determinadas estrellas cambian su brillo, algunas periódicamente otras irregularmente, se remonta a fines del siglo XVI. La cantidad de estos singulares astros conocidos a comienzos de los 1800 era de solo 16, situación que comenzó a revertirse a partir de ese momento en la medida que los astrónomos empezaron a prestarles progresivamente mayor atención, lo que se ve reflejado en el creciente número de estrellas variables identificadas. Friedrich Argelander, en el Anuario para 1844 de H. C. Schumacher, escribe "Invitación a los amigos de la astronomía", en el cual propone diversos trabajos con los que aficionados a la astronomía podían contribuir a esta ciencia, entre ellos, la observación de estrellas variables. En este texto incluye el nombre de 18 de estos objetos, todos visibles a simple vista y solo tres pertenecientes al cielo austral (Argelander, 1844; 214). Una década más tarde, Norman R. Pogson, asistente del Radcliffe Observatory de la Universidad de Oxford, lista 53 variables con sus correspondientes magnitudes máximas, mínimas y períodos, 13 de las cuales tienen declinación negativa (Johnson, 1856; 281-282). En 1865 aparece en la revista alemana Astronomische Nachrichten, un catálogo de 123 estrellas variables, recopiladas por el aficionado británico George W. Chambers, 35 ubicadas al sur del ecuador celeste (Chambers, 1865). Ese mismo año, Eduard Schönfeld, discípulo de Argelander, publica una lista con 113 estrellas (Pickering, 1903). Es en esta época que comienza el estudio sistemático de las variaciones de luz de estas estrellas.

  • The COLOUR of CREATION Observing and Astrophotography Targets “At a Glance” Guide
    The COLOUR of CREATION observing and astrophotography targets “at a glance” guide. (Naked eye, binoculars, small and “monster” scopes) Dear fellow amateur astronomer. Please note - this is a work in progress – compiled from several sources - and undoubtedly WILL contain inaccuracies. It would therefor be HIGHLY appreciated if readers would be so kind as to forward ANY corrections and/ or additions (as the document is still obviously incomplete) to: [email protected]. The document will be updated/ revised/ expanded* on a regular basis, replacing the existing document on the ASSA Pretoria website, as well as on the website: coloursofcreation.co.za . This is by no means intended to be a complete nor an exhaustive listing, but rather an “at a glance guide” (2nd column), that will hopefully assist in choosing or eliminating certain objects in a specific constellation for further research, to determine suitability for observation or astrophotography. There is NO copy right - download at will. Warm regards.

  • Dr. Azriel Goldschmidt Lawrence Berkeley Lab
    Vol. 55, No. 5 – May 2007 May 16, 2007 – General Meeting 7:00 pm Doors Open . 7:30 pm Announcements . 8:00 pm Speaker DR. AZRIEL GOLDSCHMIDT LAWRENCE BERKELEY LAB LOOKING AT THE UNIVERSE WITH DIFFERENT EYES: THE ICE CUBE HIGH-ENERGY NEUTRINO TELESCOPE Why make dozens of mile and a half deep holes in the Antarctic ice at the South Pole? Why bury in them thousands of glass spheres with light sensors? What do we hope to learn by looking for neutrinos coming from the cosmos? How can we learn about the inner workings of gamma ray bursters, supernovae or active galactic nuclei by looking for neutrinos coming from them? In this talk I will offer answers to these questions and describe how the IceCube telescope detects high‐ energy neutrinos, measures their energy and determines from where they came, thus opening a new window through which to look at our universe. Dr. Azriel Goldschmidt is a staff physicist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratoryʹs Nuclear Science division. Since 1996 he has been doing research in neutrino astrophysics, currently with the IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole. Originally from Argentina, Dr. Goldschmidt received his B.Sc. in physics from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. in particle physics from the University of California at Berkeley. In recent years his work has focused on the development, implementation and operation of a data acquisition system for the IceCube high energy neutrino telescope. 2007 Club Officers & Contacts Club Telescopes The SFAA owns eight very fine, easy to use, President Kenneth Frank [email protected] loaner telescopes well-suited for deep sky, Vice President Jorge Morales vicepresident@sfaa- planets, and star parties.

  • Introduction to the Bright Cepheids Charts
    INTRODUCTION TO THE CHARTS These charts have been produced using Project Pluto’s Guide 8 compiled by Bill Gray. Most are vertical but some, where the comprison stars lie more east-west, are horizontal. The scale is variable for the same reasons. Historically, variable star charts have depended upon the availability of sequences and attempts to improve these from the visual values of the Cordoba Durchmusterung and similar visual catalogues have not always been successful. From about 1960 onward good photoelectric measures became available, but these were limited in the number of stars measured except for specific fields. Colour photometry does not need more than 3-4 com- parison and check stars. More recently, satellite surveys have measured a very large number of stars but using filters which don’t correspond to either the response of the eye or the V of the UBV system. Many of these measures have, however, been transformed to a more or less standard sys- tem and are homogeneous at the bright levels which is what we’re interested in. So val- ues for all stars in the range of a particular star’s variability are noted on each chart. Only known variable stars are not so marked. There is a margin at top and bottom of the se- quence to allow for the eye’s different response—and for the thought that some of the quoted ranges of these Cepheids might be slightly incorrect. No attempt has been made to select stars of a standard colour as this is not possible given the stars available.
