  • Astronomy and Astrophysics Books in Print, and to Choose Among Them Is a Difficult Task
    APPENDIX ONE Degeneracy Degeneracy is a very complex topic but a very important one, especially when discussing the end stages of a star’s life. It is, however, a topic that sends quivers of apprehension down the back of most people. It has to do with quantum mechanics, and that in itself is usually enough for most people to move on, and not learn about it. That said, it is actually quite easy to understand, providing that the information given is basic and not peppered throughout with mathematics. This is the approach I shall take. In most stars, the gas of which they are made up will behave like an ideal gas, that is, one that has a simple relationship among its temperature, pressure, and density. To be specific, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature and density. We are all familiar with this. If a gas is compressed, it heats up; likewise, if it expands, it cools down. This also happens inside a star. As the temperature rises, the core regions expand and cool, and so it can be thought of as a safety valve. However, in order for certain reactions to take place inside a star, the core is compressed to very high limits, which allows very high temperatures to be achieved. These high temperatures are necessary in order for, say, helium nuclear reactions to take place. At such high temperatures, the atoms are ionized so that it becomes a soup of atomic nuclei and electrons. Inside stars, especially those whose density is approaching very high values, say, a white dwarf star or the core of a red giant, the electrons that make up the central regions of the star will resist any further compression and themselves set up a powerful pressure.1 This is termed degeneracy, so that in a low-mass red 191 192 Astrophysics is Easy giant star, for instance, the electrons are degenerate, and the core is supported by an electron-degenerate pressure.

  • Binocular Universe: Here’S the Poop March 2012
    Binocular Universe: Here’s the Poop March 2012 Phil Harrington f you look at an old star map of the late winter sky created 250 or more years ago, you'll find a huge, unfamiliar constellation dominating the sky to the south Iand east of Canis Major. That's Argo Navis, a behemoth of a constellation dating from ancient Greece that depicted the mythical voyage of Jason and the Argonauts as they searched for the Golden Fleece. When viewed from Greece, the stars of Argo Navis appeared to skim the southern horizon, as if the ship was "sailing" across the Mediterranean Sea. Above: Winter star map adapted from the author's book, Star Watch Above: Finder chart for this month's Binocular Universe from TUBA, www.philharrington.net/tuba.htm The catalog of the southern sky, Coelum Australe Stelliferum, by French astronomer Abbé Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille (1713-1762), was the first to dissect Argo Navis into more manageable pieces. The ship itself became Puppis, the Stern (or Poop Deck); Vela, the Sails; Carina, the Keel; and Pyxis, the Ship's Compass. Two creatures were also drawn as belonging to Argo Navis: Columba, the Dove, and Volans, the Flying Fish. For dwellers of the northern hemisphere, Puppis is the most familiar part of Argo Navis. It lies east of Canis Major, in an area notably absent of any bright stars. Although it lacks naked-eye luster, Puppis is rich in deep-sky treasures. Let's start near its northern border, at a close-set pair of very different looking open clusters.

  • Effects of Rotation Arund the Axis on the Stars, Galaxy and Rotation of Universe* Weitter Duckss1
    Effects of Rotation Arund the Axis on the Stars, Galaxy and Rotation of Universe* Weitter Duckss1 1Independent Researcher, Zadar, Croatia *Project: https://www.svemir-ipaksevrti.com/Universe-and-rotation.html; (https://www.svemir-ipaksevrti.com/) Abstract: The article analyzes the blueshift of the objects, through realized measurements of galaxies, mergers and collisions of galaxies and clusters of galaxies and measurements of different galactic speeds, where the closer galaxies move faster than the significantly more distant ones. The clusters of galaxies are analyzed through their non-zero value rotations and gravitational connection of objects inside a cluster, supercluster or a group of galaxies. The constant growth of objects and systems is visible through the constant influx of space material to Earth and other objects inside our system, through percussive craters, scattered around the system, collisions and mergers of objects, galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Atom and its formation, joining into pairs, growth and disintegration are analyzed through atoms of the same values of structure, different aggregate states and contiguous atoms of different aggregate states. The disintegration of complex atoms is followed with the temperature increase above the boiling point of atoms and compounds. The effects of rotation around an axis are analyzed from the small objects through stars, galaxies, superclusters and to the rotation of Universe. The objects' speeds of rotation and their effects are analyzed through the formation and appearance of a system (the formation of orbits, the asteroid belt, gas disk, the appearance of galaxies), its influence on temperature, surface gravity, the force of a magnetic field, the size of a radius.

We report the first far–ultraviolet spectrum of the emission line spectroscopic binary KQ Pup (M2Iab+B0Ve), ob- tained with FUSE shortly after conjunction at orbital phase Φ=0:13. The spectrum presents a sharp flux cutoff at 1040 Å; longwards, it is dominated by a large amount of resonant and low excitation transitions of neutral and singly ionized species, probably mostly of circumsystem origin, and by the Lyman absorption bands of H2, whose strength corresponds to an inter- 20 2 stellar H2 column density of 2 10 cm− , indicating a fraction of molecular hydrogen 2N(H2)/[N(Hi)+2N(H2)] of 0.4. An 21∼ × ∼ N(Hi)/EB V ratio of 4:3 10 is derived from the IUE spectra. The long–term UV monitoring of KQ Pup with IUE, HST and FUSE reveals− a large decrease× of the far–UV flux since orbital phase 0.82 and occupying more than 0.3 of the orbital period. This “shell” episode is attributed to line absorption and to Lyα Rayleigh scattering due to an extended dense cool envelope in the line of sight of the B star.

We find that the double-peaked He ii λ 4686 emission line undergoes strong profile variability on time scales of 2 – 3 days. However, the time scale as well as the pattern of these variations turn out to be epoch dependent and the phenomenon is thus most likely not ruled by a single stable clock.
