The other parts in the series are: Southern Planetaries Southern Galaxies Two Southern Galaxy Groups These observing notes were made in early July while my family was staying at the Magellan Observatory (astronomical farmstead) for eight nights. The observatory is in the southern tablelands of New South Wales between Goulburn and Canberra (roughly 3.5 hrs from Sydney) and is hosted by Zane Hammond and his wife Fiona. Viewing the showpiece southern globulars was high on my observing priorities for Australia. Because the center of the Milky Way wheels overhead from -35° latitude, the globular system is much better placed and several of the best globulars in the sky which are completely inaccessible from the north are well placed. In the August issue of S&T, Les Dalrymple (who I observed with one evening), ranked M13 no better than 8th among the best globulars visible from Australia. I'd still jack up its ranking a couple of notches, but it's just one of the weak runnerups to 47 Tucana and Omega Centauri viewed over 75° up in the sky and behind NGC 6752, 6397 and M22.

We present the abundance analysis for a large sample of 78 red giants based on UVES and GIRAFFE spectra acquired at the ESO-VLT. We derived abundances of Na, O, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Y, Ba, La, and Nd. This is the first extensive study of this cluster from high resolution spectroscopy.

Porto Alegre 2017 Acknowledgements To my parents, who supported me and made this possible, in a time and place where being in a university was just a distant dream. To my dearest friends Elisabeth, Robert, Augusto, and Natália - who so many times helped me go from "I give up" to "I’ll try once more". To my cats Kira, Fen, and Demi - who lazily join me in bed at the end of the day, and make everything worthwhile. "But, first of all, it will be necessary to explain what is our idea of a cluster of stars, and by what means we have obtained it. For an instance, I shall take the phenomenon which presents itself in many clusters: It is that of a number of lucid spots, of equal lustre, scattered over a circular space, in such a manner as to appear gradually more compressed towards the middle; and which compression, in the clusters to which I allude, is generally carried so far, as, by imperceptible degrees, to end in a luminous center, of a resolvable blaze of light." William Herschel, 1789 Abstract We provide a sample of 170 Galactic Globular Clusters (GCs) and analyse its spatial distribution properties.

  • 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).

  • The Sky This Week
    The sky this week April 20 to April 26, 2020 By Joe Grida, Technical Informaon Officer, ASSA ([email protected]) elcome to the fourth edion of The Sky this Week. It is designed to keep you looking up during these rather uncertain mes. We can’t get together for Members’ Viewing Nights, so I thought I’d write this W to give you some ideas of observing targets that you can chase on any clear night this coming week. As I said in my recent Starwatch* column in The Adverser newspaper: “Even with the restricons in place, stargazing is something that you can do easily on your own. It helps to relieve stress and will keep your sense of perspecve. It’s prey hard to walk away from a night under the stars without a jusfiable sense of awe. And also without sensing a real, albeit tenuous, connecon with the cosmos at large”. * Published on the last Friday of each month Naked eye star walk Over in the eastern late evening sky, Scorpius, the Scorpion (one of the few constellaons in our sky that actually resembles what it is supposed to represent) is difficult to miss. He will keep us company over the coming chilly winter months. Its brightest star, Antares, is a huge star of gargantuan proporons. If we replaced our Sun with it, then all the planets from Mercury through to Jupiter would all find themselves engulfed within it! Just below the tail of Scorpius, you can find the star clusters designated M6 and M7. Take the trouble to observe these with binoculars.

Weatherford,1, 2 Sourav Chatterjee,3 Kyle Kremer,1, 2 Frederic A. Rasio,1, 2 1Department of Physics & Astronomy, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208, USA 2Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration & Research in Astrophysics (CIERA), Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208, USA 3Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Homi Bhabha Road, Mumbai 400005, India ABSTRACT Recent numerical simulations of globular clusters (GCs) have shown that stellar-mass black holes (BHs) play a fundamental role in driving cluster evolution and shaping their present-day structure. Rapidly mass-segregating to the center of GCs, BHs act as a dynamical energy source via repeated super-elastic scattering, delaying onset of core collapse and limiting mass segregation for visible stars. While recent discoveries of BH candidates in Galactic and extragalactic GCs have further piqued inter- est in BH-mediated cluster dynamics, numerical models show that even if significant BH populations remain in today's GCs, they are not typically in directly detectable configurations. We demonstrated in Weatherford et al.(2018) that an anti-correlation between a suitable measure of mass segregation (∆) in observable stellar populations and the number of retained BHs in GC models can be applied to indirectly probe BH populations in real GCs. Here, we estimate the number and total mass of BHs in 50 Milky Way GCs from the ACS Globular Cluster Survey. For each GC, ∆ is measured between observed main sequence populations and fed into correlations between ∆ and BH retention found in our CMC Cluster Catalog's models.

  • Mining SDSS in Search of Multiple Populations in Globular Clusters

Pancino2, E. Carretta2, A. Bragaglia2, and E. Dalessandro1 1 Department of Astronomy, University of Bologna, via Ranzani 1, 40127 Bologna, Italy e-mail: [email protected] 2 INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Bologna, via Ranzani 1, 40127 Bologna, Italy Received 31 August 2010 / Accepted 6 October 2010 ABSTRACT Several recent studies have reported the detection of an anomalous color spread along the red giant branch (RGB) of some globular clusters (GC) that appears only when color indices including a near ultraviolet band (such as Johnson U or Strömgren u) are con- sidered. This anomalous spread in color indexes such as U − B or cy has been shown to correlate with variations in the abundances of light elements such as C, N, O, Na, etc., which, in turn, are generally believed to be associated with subsequent star formation episodes that occurred in the earliest few 108 yr of the cluster’s life. Here we use publicly available u, g, r Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometry to search for anomalous u − g spreads in the RGBs of nine Galactic GCs. In seven of them (M 2, M 3, M 5, M 13, M 15, M 92 and M 53), we find evidence of a statistically significant spread in the u − g color, not seen in g − r and not accounted for by observational effects. In the case of M 5, we demonstrate that the observed u − g color spread correlates with the observed abundances of Na, the redder stars being richer in Na than the bluer ones.
