INTRODUCTION For better understanding the structure and evolution of our Galaxy, we need infor- mation about physical parameters of stars and interstellar matter and their distribution in space. The Galaxy contains about 300 billion stars, but only a small part of them is accessible for our investigation. Usually studies are concentrated only in the chosen directions and areas. Only a small part of the Galactic longitudes and latitudes is in- vestigated. For investigation of distant objects, especially near the Galactic plane, we need, in addition, the value of interstellar extinction in their directions. Usually, the interstellar extinction in different sky areas is evaluated by using stars for which photo- metric and spectral classification data are available. This has been done only in a small number of sky areas. Therefore, in many directions new investigations of interstellar extinction are needed. Among the least investigated directions in the Milky Way are dark clouds in the Camelopardalis constellation (Galactic longitudes between 140◦ and 150◦). In this direction our view crosses the Orion spiral arm, the Perseus arm and the Outer arm. A discontinuity of the Milky Way brightness at the Galactic longitudes 140◦–170◦ has been well known since the first wide-field surveys of the Galactic system. At these longitudes all the tracers of the Perseus spiral arm disappear. The Milky Way reappears only at = 170◦, near the Auriga border. We may suspect that this blocking of the light of distant stars probably is due to the crowding of dust clouds near the Galactic equator, which probably belong to the local Orion spiral arm. The Camelopardalis dark cloud-region, which occupies a large area of the Galactic equator ( =140◦–150◦), is still a poorly investigated area. The distances of the clouds and their extinctions are known with a low accuracy and only in some occasional direc- tions. This section of the Galaxy remains also a poorly investigated region considering interstellar extinction and the Galactic structure. These are the main reasons why we have chosen for investigation an area at the Camelopardalis border with Perseus and Cassiopeia. The main aim of the dissertation The main goal of this work was a comprehensive photometric investigation of the Milky Way region at Galactic longitudes 140◦–150◦ in the direction of the Cameloparda- lis dark clouds in order

  • Open Clusters
    Open Clusters Open clusters (also known as galactic clusters) are of tremendous importance to the science of astronomy, if not to astrophysics and cosmology generally. Star clusters serve as the "laboratories" of astronomy, with stars now all at nearly the same distance and all created at essentially the same time. Each cluster thus is a running experiment, where we can observe the effects of composition, age, and environment. We are hobbled by seeing only a snapshot in time of each cluster, but taken collectively we can understand their evolution, and that of their included stars. These clusters are also important tracers of the Milky Way and other parent galaxies. They help us to understand their current structure and derive theories of the creation and evolution of galaxies. Just as importantly, starting from just the Hyades and the Pleiades, and then going to more distance clusters, open clusters serve to define the distance scale of the Milky Way, and from there all other galaxies and the entire universe. However, there is far more to the study of star clusters than that. Anyone who has looked at a cluster through a telescope or binoculars has realized that these are objects of immense beauty and symmetry. Whether a cluster like the Pleiades seen with delicate beauty with the unaided eye or in a small telescope or binoculars, or a cluster like NGC 7789 whose thousands of stars are seen with overpowering wonder in a large telescope, open clusters can only bring awe and amazement to the viewer. These sights are available to all.

  • 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.

  • Making a Sky Atlas
    Appendix A Making a Sky Atlas Although a number of very advanced sky atlases are now available in print, none is likely to be ideal for any given task. Published atlases will probably have too few or too many guide stars, too few or too many deep-sky objects plotted in them, wrong- size charts, etc. I found that with MegaStar I could design and make, specifically for my survey, a “just right” personalized atlas. My atlas consists of 108 charts, each about twenty square degrees in size, with guide stars down to magnitude 8.9. I used only the northernmost 78 charts, since I observed the sky only down to –35°. On the charts I plotted only the objects I wanted to observe. In addition I made enlargements of small, overcrowded areas (“quad charts”) as well as separate large-scale charts for the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, the latter with guide stars down to magnitude 11.4. I put the charts in plastic sheet protectors in a three-ring binder, taking them out and plac- ing them on my telescope mount’s clipboard as needed. To find an object I would use the 35 mm finder (except in the Virgo Cluster, where I used the 60 mm as the finder) to point the ensemble of telescopes at the indicated spot among the guide stars. If the object was not seen in the 35 mm, as it usually was not, I would then look in the larger telescopes. If the object was not immediately visible even in the primary telescope – a not uncommon occur- rence due to inexact initial pointing – I would then scan around for it.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE GALACTIC MAGNETIC FIELD TOWARD THE HIGH-LATITUDE CLOUDS ANA I. GOMEZ DE CASTRO,1 RALPH E. PUDRITZ,2 AND PIERRE BASTIEN3 Received 1995 December 22; accepted 1996 September 5 ABSTRACT We present the results of an optical polarization survey toward the galactic anticenter, in the area 5h º a º 2h and 6¡ ¹ d ¹ 12¡. This region is characterized by the presence of a stream of high-velocity H I as well as high galactic latitude molecular clouds. We used our polarization data together with 100 km IRAS maps of the region to study the relation between the dust distribution and the geometry of the magnetic Ðeld. We Ðnd that there is a correlation between the percent polarization and the 100 km Ñux such thatP(%) ¹ (0.16 ^ 0.05)F . When the IRAS Ñux is converted into H I column densities this becomesP(%) ¹ (0.13 ^ 0.03)N 100[ 0.22, which is consistent with previous interstellar medium studies on the relation between reddening20 and polarization. This correlation indicates that our survey is as deep as IRAS and that the magnetic Ðeld geometry does not change strongly with the optical depth in the lines of sight that we have studied. The implied lower limit to the distance of our survey is 500È700 pc at galactic latitudes b \[20¡ and 100 pc at b \[50¡. Our main Ðnding is that the magnetic Ðeld is perpendicular to the H I high-velocity stream as well as the molecular cloud MBM 16 in the high-latitude region.
