Fiche élève ____________________________________________________________________________ 1. Victor Hugo a écrit dans Les Châtiments : "Les horizons aux horizons succèdent […] : on avance toujours, on n’arrive jamais ". Face à la mer, vous voyez l'horizon à perte de vue. Mais "est-ce loin, l'horizon ?". D'après toi, jusqu'à quelle distance peux-tu voir si le temps est clair ? Réponse 1 : " Sans instrument, je peux voir jusqu'à .................. km " Réponse 2 : " Avec une paire de jumelles, je peux voir jusqu'à ............... km " 2. Nous allons maintenant calculer à l'aide du théorème de Pythagore la ligne d'horizon pour une hauteur H donnée.

  • 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).

Sonnert and co-researchers described, Science Letter, p40, Tuesday, January 5, 2010 TEXT: "In this paper we report on testing the 'rolen model' and 'opportunity-structure' hypotheses about the parents whom scientists mentioned as career influencers. According to the role-model hypothesis, the gender match between scientist and influencer is paramount (for example, women scientists would disproportionately often mention their mothers as career influencers)," scientists writing in the journal Social Studies of Science report (see also ). "According to the opportunity-structure hypothesis, the parent's educational level predicts his/her probability of being mentioned as a career influencer (that ism parents with higher educational levels would be more likely to be named). The examination of a sample of American scientists who had received prestigious postdoctoral fellowships resulted in rejecting the role-model hypothesis and corroborating the opportunity-structure hypothesis.

  • STERNBILD GIRAFFE (Camelopardalis – Cam)
    STERNBILD GIRAFFE (Camelopardalis – Cam) Die GIRAFFE ist ein Sternbild des nördlichen Himmels. Sie kulminiert im Dezember gegen 24h. Es ist ein unauffälliges Sternbild und besteht aus visuell lichtschwachen Sternen, beinhaltet aber interessante Mehrfachsterne und Deep Sky- Objekte. Für ungeübte Beobachter ein Tip: fast alle Sterne, die zwischen dem POLARSTERN und CAPELLA aufzuspüren sind, gehören zur Giraffe. Im Februar und März 2016 zeigt sich der Komet C/2013 US10 CATALINA in diesem Sternbild. Die Giraffe befindet sich innerhalb der Koordinaten RE 14h 26’ bis 03h 15’ und DE +52° bis +86°; Die Nachbarsternbilder sind im Norden KEPHEUS, im Westen KASSIOPEIA, im Süden PERSEUS, FUHRMANN und LUCHS sowie im Osten der GROßE BÄR, DRACHE und KLEINE BÄR Die Giraffe ist nördlich von 37° geogr. Breite zirkumpolar und südl. von –4° nicht mehr vollständig sichtbar. Die Objekte: 1. die Markierungssterne 2. Doppel- und Mehrfachsterne 3. die Veränderlichen 4. der Offene Sternhaufen NGC 1502 5. die Galaxien NGC2403 und IC 342 1. die Markierungssterne Die Sterne im Giraffen gehören wahrlich nicht zu den sichtbar Hellsten, wenn man bedenkt, dass der Stern BETA mit 4 Magnituden an der Spitze steht. Es sind jedoch mitunter wahre Leuchtkraftriesen dabei, die wegen der immensen Distanz nicht heller erscheinen. Das Gerüst des Giraffen wird von den Sternen 7 Cam – Beta – Alpha – Gamma – CS und CE markiert.

  • Best Possible Astroimaging for the Beginner on the Cheap – Course: HET 615, November 2004 Supervisor: Dr
    Project: Best Possible Astroimaging for the Beginner on the Cheap – Course: HET 615, November 2004 Supervisor: Dr. Pamela Gay – Student: Eduardo Manuel Alvarez Best Possible Astroimaging for the Beginner on the Cheap Abstract The objective for this project is to analyze the different imaging alternatives currently at the reach of any novice amateur astronomer. Considering that each one of the three possible astroimaging options -that is, film, CCD, and webcam imaging- has its own pros and cons, to know in advance which one becomes particularly appropriate for a given target becomes the ineludible very first step in the right way to achieve success. The selected technique has also to be applied at field with properness. Despite the apparent rudimentary of simple astroimaging gear, serious information can be inferred as long as it is rightfully used. What does “rightfully used” actually mean and which “serious information” can be particularly obtained will be the main discussed topics along this report. Finally, a head to head comparison will summarize the obtained results. Figure 1 Despite suburban skies, the glory of the Milky Way’s centre can still be easily imaged, as this not-neat framed shot proves. As for all remaining images in this report, south is up. Page 1 of 35 Project: Best Possible Astroimaging for the Beginner on the Cheap – Course: HET 615, November 2004 Supervisor: Dr. Pamela Gay – Student: Eduardo Manuel Alvarez 1. Introduction There are two basic possibilities for imaging: either analog or digital. Each one intrinsically achieves very different characteristics regarding linearity, dynamic range, spectral sensitivity, efficiency, etc.

  • Planets and Exoplanets
    NASE Publications Planets and exoplanets Planets and exoplanets Rosa M. Ros, Hans Deeg International Astronomical Union, Technical University of Catalonia (Spain), Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and University of La Laguna (Spain) Summary This workshop provides a series of activities to compare the many observed properties (such as size, distances, orbital speeds and escape velocities) of the planets in our Solar System. Each section provides context to various planetary data tables by providing demonstrations or calculations to contrast the properties of the planets, giving the students a concrete sense for what the data mean. At present, several methods are used to find exoplanets, more or less indirectly. It has been possible to detect nearly 4000 planets, and about 500 systems with multiple planets. Objetives - Understand what the numerical values in the Solar Sytem summary data table mean. - Understand the main characteristics of extrasolar planetary systems by comparing their properties to the orbital system of Jupiter and its Galilean satellites. The Solar System By creating scale models of the Solar System, the students will compare the different planetary parameters. To perform these activities, we will use the data in Table 1. Planets Diameter (km) Distance to Sun (km) Sun 1 392 000 Mercury 4 878 57.9 106 Venus 12 180 108.3 106 Earth 12 756 149.7 106 Marte 6 760 228.1 106 Jupiter 142 800 778.7 106 Saturn 120 000 1 430.1 106 Uranus 50 000 2 876.5 106 Neptune 49 000 4 506.6 106 Table 1: Data of the Solar System bodies In all cases, the main goal of the model is to make the data understandable.
