Next Meeting: Thursday, December 22nd Swap Meet & Potluck Get-Together Our December meeting will be a chance to visit and share a potluck dinner with fellow amateur astronomers, plus swap extra gear for new and exciting equipment from somebody else’s stash. Bring some food to share and any astronomy gear you’d like to sell, trade, or give away. We will have on hand some of the gear that was donated to the club this summer, including mirrors, lenses, blanks, telescope parts, and even entire telescopes. Come check out the bargains and visit with your fellow amateur astronomers in a relaxed evening before Christmas. We also encourage people to bring any new gear or projects they would like to show the rest of the club. The meeting is at 7:00 on December 22nd at EWEB’s Community Room, 500 E. 4th in Eugene. Next First Quarter Fridays: December 2nd and 30th Our November star party was clouded out, along with a good deal of the month afterward. If that sounds familiar, that’s because it is: I changed the date in the previous sentence from October to November and left the rest of the sentence intact. Yes, our autumn weather is predictable. Here’s hoping for a lucky break in the weather for our two December star parties.

  • Another Unit of Distance (I Like This One Better): Light Year
    How far away are the nearest stars?

Another unit of distance (I like this A new unit of distance: the parsec one better): light year A parsec is the distance of a star whose parallax is 1 arcsecond. A light year is the distance a light ray travels in one year A star with a parallax of 1/2 arcsecond is at a distance of 2 parsecs. A light year is: • 9.460E+15 meters What is the parsec? • 3.26 light years = 1 parsec • 3.086 E+16 meters • 206,265 astronomical units The distances to the stars are truly So what are the distances to the stars? enormous • If the distance between the Earth and Sun were • First measurements made in 1838 (Friedrich Bessel) shrunk to 1 cm (0.4 inches), Alpha Centauri • Closest star is Alpha would be 2.75 km (1.7 miles) away Centauri, p=0.75 arcseconds, d=1.33 parsecs= 4.35 light years • Nearest stars are a few to many parsecs, 5 - 20 light years 1 When we look at the night sky, which So, who are our neighbors in space? are the nearest stars?

This book can be referenced as follows: Reipurth, B. 2016, http://ifa.hawaii.edu/SP1 i FOREWORD I first learned about George Herbig’s work when I was a teenager. I grew up in Denmark in the 1950s, a time when Europe was healing the wounds after the ravages of the Second World War. Already at the age of 7 I had fallen in love with astronomy, but information was very hard to come by in those days, so I scraped together what I could, mainly relying on the local library. At some point I was introduced to the magazine Sky and Telescope, and soon invested my pocket money in a subscription. Every month I would sit at our dining room table with a dictionary and work my way through the latest issue. In one issue I read about Herbig-Haro objects, and I was completely mesmerized that these objects could be signposts of the formation of stars, and I dreamt about some day being able to contribute to this field of study.

The thought did not bother him overmuch-he was a warrior of a peculiar and desperate kind and had never expected to survive the War-but the consciousness of failure was far worse than the wound along his side. Breath rasped harsh between his fangs. Thin fringed lips drew back from them, fledged with purple blood from his injured airsac. Unbending will kept all fourteen digits splayed on the rough rock; the light gravity of this world helped, as well. Cold wind hooted down from the heights, plucking at him until he came to a crack that was deep enough for a leg and an arm; the long flexible fingers on both wound into irregularities, anchoring him.

April flew by pretty quickly, and with the world slowly thawing from the long winter, why shouldn’t it? To celebrate, we decided we’re going to try to start holding our monthly meetings at Highland Road Park Observatory again, only with the added twist of incorporating an on-line component for those who for whatever reason don’t feel like making it out. To that end, we’ll have both our usual live broadcast on the BRAS YouTube channel and the Brasmeet page on Jitsi—which is where our out of town guests and, at least this month, our guest speaker can join us.

  • Basics of Astrophysics Revisited. I. Mass- Luminosity Relation for K, M and G Class Stars
    Basics of astrophysics revisited. I. Mass- luminosity relation for K, M and G class stars Edgars Alksnis [email protected] Small volume statistics show, that luminosity of slow rotating stars is proportional to their angular momentums of rotation. Cause should be outside of standard solar model. Slow rotating giants and dim dwarfs are not out of „main sequence” in this concept. Predictive power of stellar mass-radius- equatorial rotation speed-luminosity relation has been offered to test in numerous examples. Keywords: mass-luminosity relation, stellar rotation, stellar mass prediction, stellar rotation prediction ...Such vibrations would proceed from deep inside the sun. They are a fast way of transporting large amounts of energy from the interior to the surface that is not envisioned in present theory.... They could stir up the material inside the sun, which current theory tends to see as well layered, and that could affect the fusion dynamics. If they come to be generally accepted, they will require a reworking of solar theory, and that carries in its train a reworking of stellar theory generally. These vibrations could reverberate throughout astronomy. (Science News, Vol. 115, April 21, 1979, p. 270). Actual expression for stellar mass-luminosity relation (fig.1) Fig.1 Stellar mass- luminosity relation. Credit: Ay20. L- luminosity, relative to the Sun, M- mass, relative to the Sun. remain empiric and in fact contain unresolvable contradiction: stellar luminosity basically is connected with their surface area (radius squared) but mass (radius in cube) appears as a factor which generate luminosity. That purely geometric difference had pressed astrophysicists to place several classes of stars outside of „main sequence” in the frame of their strange theoretic constructions.

  • 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.
