  • 1. Which of the Following Statements Is Incorrect Concerning Sidereal Days and Solar Days?
    1. Which of the following statements is incorrect concerning sidereal days and solar days? A. One sidereal day is defined as the time taken for the Earth to make one complete rotation on its axis B. One sidereal day is 3.9 minutes longer than one solar day C. The time difference between one sidereal day and one solar day accounts for the daily slight shift in the position of stars D. The time difference between one sidereal day and one solar day is due to the simultaneous rotation of the Earth about its axis and the revolution of Earth around the Sun 2. The Earth’s aphelion is the position of the Earth on its orbit that is most distant from the Sun. At which time of the year is the Earth furthest from the Sun? A. 3 January B. 21 June C. 3 July D. 21 December 3. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding solar eclipses? A. During a total solar eclipse, the corona of the Sun becomes visible. B. If the umbra region of the eclipse does not reach the Earth, an annular eclipse will be seen C. A solar eclipse track on Earth runs from the west to the east D. An eclipse that occurred in December 4, 2002 will be seen again in December 14, 2018, in accordance with the Saros cycle 4. The Milankovitch cycles concern about the movement of Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. These cycles include the Earth’s orbit eccentricity, its precession period and its obliquity.

  • Introduction to Astronomical Photometry, Second Edition
    This page intentionally left blank Introduction to Astronomical Photometry, Second Edition Completely updated, this Second Edition gives a broad review of astronomical photometry to provide an understanding of astrophysics from a data-based perspective. It explains the underlying principles of the instruments used, and the applications and inferences derived from measurements. Each chapter has been fully revised to account for the latest developments, including the use of CCDs. Highly illustrated, this book provides an overview and historical background of the subject before reviewing the main themes within astronomical photometry. The central chapters focus on the practical design of the instruments and methodology used. The book concludes by discussing specialized topics in stellar astronomy, concentrating on the information that can be derived from the analysis of the light curves of variable stars and close binary systems. This new edition includes numerous bibliographic notes and a glossary of terms. It is ideal for graduate students, academic researchers and advanced amateurs interested in practical and observational astronomy. Edwin Budding is a research fellow at the Carter Observatory, New Zealand, and a visiting professor at the Çanakkale University, Turkey. Osman Demircan is Director of the Ulupınar Observatory of Çanakkale University, Turkey. Cambridge Observing Handbooks for Research Astronomers Today’s professional astronomers must be able to adapt to use telescopes and interpret data at all wavelengths. This series is designed to provide them with a collection of concise, self-contained handbooks, which covers the basic principles peculiar to observing in a particular spectral region, or to using a special technique or type of instrument. The books can be used as an introduction to the subject and as a handy reference for use at the telescope, or in the office.
