02 Southern Cross
Asterism Southern Cross The Southern Cross is located in the constellation Crux, the smallest of the 88 constellations. It is one of the most distinctive. With the four stars Mimosa BeCrux, Ga Crux, A Crux and Delta Crucis, forming the arms of the cross. The Southern Cross was also used as a remarkably accurate timepiece by all the people of the southern hemisphere, referred to as the ‘Southern Celestial Clock’ by the portuguese naturalist Cristoval D’Acosta. It is perpendicular as it passes the meridian, and the exact time can thus be calculated visually from its angle. The german explorer Baron Alexander von Humboldt, sailing across the southern oceans in 1799, wrote: “It is a timepiece, which advances very regularly nearly 4 minutes a day, and no other group of stars affords to the naked eye an observation of time so easily made”. Asterism - An asterism is a distinctive pattern of stars or a distinctive group of stars in the sky. Constellation - A grouping of stars that make an imaginary picture in the sky. There are 88 constellations.

I Nomi Delle Stelle
I nomi delle stelle Se state leggendo questa pagina perché volete acquistare il nome di una stella, visitate IAU Theme Buying Stars and Star Names. Altrimenti, proseguite con il testo sottostante. L'UAI intende delineare una distinzione tra i termini nome e designazione. In questo testo, così come in altre pubblicazioni dell'UAI, il nome si riferisce al termine (solitamente colloquiale) utilizzato per una stella nel linguaggio quotidiano, mentre la designazione è esclusivamente alfanumerica e viene usata quasi esclusivamente nei cataloghi ufficiali e nell'astronomia professionale. Storia dei cataloghi stellari La catalogazione delle stelle ha una lunga storia alle spalle. Sin dalla preistoria, culture e civiltà in tutto il mondo hanno dato dei propri nomi alle stelle più luminose e importanti nel cielo notturno. Attraversando le culture greca, latina e araba, alcuni nomi hanno subito pochi cambiamenti e altri sono in uso ancora oggi. Mentre l'astronomia si sviluppava e si evolveva nel corso dei secoli, sorgeva la necessità di un sistema di catalogazione universale, in base al quale le stelle più luminose (e quindi quelle più studiate) fossero conosciute secondo gli stessi appellativi, indipendentemente dal Paese o dalla cultura da cui provenivano gli astronomi. Per risolvere questo problema, gli astronomi durante il Rinascimento hanno tentato di produrre cataloghi stellari seguendo un insieme di regole. Il primo esempio, ancora oggi popolare, è stato introdotto da Johann Bayer nel suo atlante Uranometria del 1603. Bayer ha catalogato le stelle in ogni costellazione con lettere greche minuscole, seguendo l'ordine approssimativo della loro luminosità apparente, in modo che la stella più luminosa di una costellazione fosse solitamente (ma non sempre) etichettata come Alpha, la seconda più brillante fosse Beta, e così via. -
Extremely Extended Dust Shells Around Evolved Intermediate Mass Stars: Probing Mass Loss Histories,Thermal Pulses and Stellar Evolution
EXTREMELY EXTENDED DUST SHELLS AROUND EVOLVED INTERMEDIATE MASS STARS: PROBING MASS LOSS HISTORIES,THERMAL PULSES AND STELLAR EVOLUTION A Thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by BASIL MENZI MCHUNU Dr. Angela K. Speck December 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled: EXTREMELY EXTENDED DUST SHELLS AROUND EVOLVED INTERMEDIATE MASS STARS PROBING MASS LOSS HISTORIES, THERMAL PULSES AND STELLAR EVOLUTION USING FAR-INFRARED IMAGING PHOTOMETRY presented by Basil Menzi Mchunu, a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. Angela K. Speck Dr. Sergei Kopeikin Dr. Adam Helfer Dr. Bahram Mashhoon Dr. Haskell Taub DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my family, who raised me to be the man I am today under challenging conditions: my grandfather Baba (Samuel Mpala Mchunu), my grandmother (Ma Magasa, Nonhlekiso Mchunu), my aunt Thembeni, and my mother, Nombso Betty Mchunu. I would especially like to thank my mother for all the courage she gave me, bringing me chocolate during my undergraduate days to show her love when she had little else to give, and giving her unending support when I was so far away from home in graduate school. She passed away, when I was so close to graduation. To her, I say, ′′Ulale kahle Macingwane.′′ I have done it with the help from your spirit and courage. I would also like to thank my wife, Heather Shawver, and our beautiful children, Rosemary and Brianna , for making me see life with a new meaning of hope and prosperity. -
