ESO is the foremost intergovernmental European Science and Technology organi- sation in the field of ground-based as- trophysics. It is supported by eleven coun- tries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Created in 1962, ESO provides state-of- the-art research facilities to European astronomers and astrophysicists. In pur- suit of this task, ESO’s activities cover a wide spectrum including the design and construction of world-class ground-based observational facilities for the member- state scientists, large telescope projects, design of innovative scientific instruments, developing new and advanced techno- logies, furthering European co-operation and carrying out European educational programmes. ESO operates at three sites in the Ataca- ma desert region of Chile. The first site The VLT is a most unusual telescope, is at La Silla, a mountain 600 km north of based on the latest technology.

  • August 2014 BRAS Newsletter
    August, 2014 Next Meeting Augustth, 7:00 PM at HRPO M27, The Dumbbell Nebula-Taken at HRPO by Ben Toman What's In This Issue? President's Message Final Outreach Message from Dr. Trevor McGuire Astro Short-Milky Way: Cosmic Cannibal Message from the HRPO Globe At Night Recent BRAS Forum Entries Observing Notes from John Nagle President's Message Summertime in Louisiana isn’t always the best time to observe the sky. Even on nights with no cloud cover, there always seems to be a haze of water vapor or dust that washes out the dimmer things we want to see. However, we often get those still nights that are great for viewing the planets. At least we have that. And we always have the Sun. Speaking of that, we are getting close to selling enough tickets to raffle the Lunt 35mm solar telescope. Once we have sold enough tickets we will make an announcement to draw for the winner at the next BRAS meeting. In the meantime, we have lots of new (actually inherited) books to raffle, a couple of Messier and Caldwell cards, and a few other odd items. So, until we raffle the solar scope, there will be plenty to choose from between now and then. On a happy/sad note, we are losing one of our more active BRAS members to his new career. Vice President Muralidar Chakravarthi will be moving to Florida in mid-August for a promotion with his company. The August meeting may be the last one we may see him for quite a while.

  • Clusters Nebulae & Galaxies
    CLUSTERS, NEBULAE & GALAXIES A NOVICE OBSERVER’S HANDBOOK By: Prof. P. N. Shankar PREFACE In the normal course of events, an amateur who builds or acquires a telescope will use it initially to observe the Moon and the planets. After the thrill of seeing the craters of the Moon, the Galilean moons of Jupiter and its bands, and the rings of Saturn he(*) is usually at a loss as to what to do next; Mars and Venus are usually disappointing as are the stars (they don’t look any bigger!). If the telescope had good resolution one could observe binaries, but alas, this is often not the case. Moreover, at this stage, the amateur is unlikely to be willing to do serious work on variable stars or on planetary observations. What can he do with his telescope that will rekindle his interest and prepare him for serious work? I believe that there is little better for him to do than hunt for the Messier objects; this book is meant as a guide in this exciting adventure. While this book is primarily a guide to the Messier objects, a few other easy clusters and nebulae have also been included. I have tried, while writing this handbook, to keep in mind the difficulties faced by a beginner. Even if one has good star maps, such as those in Norton’s Star Atlas, a beginner often has difficulty in locating some of the Messier objects because he does not know what he is expected to see! A cluster like M29 is a little difficult because it is a sparse cluster in a rich field; M97 is nominally brighter than M76, another planetary, but is more difficult to see; M33 is an approximately 6th magnitude galaxy but is far more difficult than many 9th magnitude galaxies.

  • Sternenhimmel
    Sternenhimmel Daniela Huber Ebenböckstraße 10 81241 München 089/97392937, Deutschland [email protected] Abstract In dem Projekt „Sternenhimmel“ geht es darum, sich die 12 Tierkreiszeichen der Sternbilder einzeln anzuschauen. Die Sterne werden durch LEDs verkörpert, die an einem schwarzen Regenschirm angebracht wurden. Über eine Eingabe am Laptop und die Verarbeitung der Eingabe mittels eines Arduino Mega, ist es möglich, zwischen den einzelnen Sternbildern zu wechseln und auch Informationen zu jedem Stern zu erhalten. Categories and Subject Descriptors • Human-centered computing~Information visualization General Terms Design, Experimentieren und Performance. Keywords „Innovativer Regenschirm“ – „Sternenkunde unter dem Regenschirm“ 1. Motivation Das Thema hat mich sehr interessiert, da ich mir ein Projekt mit LEDs vorgestellt hatte, die man in irgendeiner Weise über das Arduino Mega steuern kann. Eine gute Gelegenheit hierfür bietet die Darstellung von Sternenhimmeln, wie es auch schon in verschiedenen Einrichtungen wie z.B. Schwimmbädern oder Museen der Fall ist. 2. Verwandte Arbeiten Bei den verwandten Arbeiten sind LED-Sternenhimmel zu nennen, die man kaufen kann, um sie in der Wohnung an der Decke anzubringen. Außerdem verwandt zu meinem Thema sind die LED-Sternenhimmel in verschiedenen Schwimmbädern beispielsweise über Ruhebecken, um sich zu entspannen. Auch für den Innenbereich eines Autos gibt es schon Sternenhimmel aus LEDs zum Anbringen. Eine sehr eng verwandte Arbeit ist der Regenschirm mit eingezeichneten Sternbildern, welcher jedoch keine LEDs beinhaltet. Quelle: unterwegs-magazin.de Quelle: planetarium-hamburg.de Des Weiteren gibt es auch schon Schirme mit integrierten Lichtern, bei denen hingegen keine Sternbilder aufgezeigt, oder sogar ausgewählt werden können. Meine Arbeit verbindet nun die beiden genannten Regenschirmbeispiele und fügt noch die Funktionen hinzu, zwischen den einzelnen Sternbildern zu wechseln und sich Informationen zu den einzelnen Sternen anzeigen zu lassen.

  • Discovery and Characterization of Three of These Transiting Circumbinary Planetary Systems, Specifically Kepler-47, Kepler-64, Kepler-413
    DISCOVERY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TRANSITING CIRCUMBINARY PLANETS FROM NASA’s KEPLER MISSION by Veselin B. Kostov A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland August, 2014 c Veselin B. Kostov 2014 All rights reserved Abstract Planets with two suns have long fascinated our imagination yet it was only recently that astronomers were able to provide direct evidence of their existence. Several candi- dates have been proposed since 2003, based on measured timing variations in binary stellar systems, but it was not until 2011 and the launch of NASA’s Kepler mission that circumbi- nary planets were unambiguously detected through their transits. At the time of writing, the peerless-quality data from Kepler has enabled the confirmation of eight planets orbiting both members of seven gravitationally bound, eclipsing binaries (one of the systems has two circumbinary planets). This thesis presents our contribution to the field in terms of discovery and characterization of three of these transiting circumbinary planetary systems, specifically Kepler-47, Kepler-64, Kepler-413. As predicted by theoretical models, the planets we discovered are smaller than Jupiter, have orbits close to the limit for dynamical stability, and are nearly co-planar to their host binaries (although the circumbinary system Kepler-413 is sufficiently misaligned that, due to fast orbital precession, the planet does not transit at every inferior conjunction). The results of our work deliver important insight into the nature of this remarkable new class of ii objects, and provide deeper understanding of a) the type of binary stars that can support cir- cumbinary planets; b) the orbital and physical properties of these fascinating systems (e.g.
