We present the first fully and uniformly sampled, spatially complete H survey of the entire Magellanic System with high velocity resolution (∆v = 1.0kms−1), performed with the Parkes Telescope. Approximately 24 percent of the southern skywascoveredbythissurveyona≈5 grid with an angular resolution of HPBW = 14.1. A fully automated data-reduction scheme was developed for this survey to handle the large number of H spectra (1.5 × 106). The individual Hanning smoothed and polarization averaged spectra have an rms brightness temperature noise of σ = 0.12 K. The final data-cubes have an rms noise of σrms ≈ 0.05 K and an effective angular resolution of ≈16 . In this paper we describe the survey parameters, the data- reduction and the general distribution of the H gas. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are associated with huge gaseous features – the = Magellanic Bridge, the Interface Region, the Magellanic Stream, and the Leading Arm – with a total H mass of M(H ) 8 2 4.87 × 10 M d/55 kpc ,ifallH gas is at the same distance of 55 kpc.

  • We Had a Great Time on the Trip. We Had Some Representatives from the Vandenberg and Santa Barbara Clubs Along with Us for the Trip
    We had a great time on the trip. We had some representatives from the Vandenberg and Santa Barbara clubs along with us for the trip. The most notable thing on the trip up was a stop in La Canada Flintridge to refuel the bus and get a bite to eat. I pulled out my PST Coronado and did a little impromptu public Sun Gazing. The Sun was pretty active with a number of platform prominences as well as the ever-present flame types. A distinct sunspot group in a very disturbed area of the Sun with a bright spot had me wondering if there was a flare in progress (There wasn’t.) The patrons at the tables outside didn’t seem to object to seeing the Sun either. I had a little bit of a scare when we first got up to the gate as a couple of people who were going to meet us there were nowhere to be seen. Fortunately one of them was already on the grounds and the other showed up while we were in the Museum. Relief! As it turned out we all went on the tour of the grounds. Our tour guide Greg gave us a tour starting outside the 60” Dome. He talked about the various Solar Telescopes -the old Snow telescope which was always a non-performer because of the design of the building- too many air currents. He talked about the rivalry over the 60 and 150 ft tower solar instruments (looks like UCLA won this one over USC.) And we got a good look at the 150 ft tower.

We study the spectral properties in the range 3600 A–6800˚ A˚ of the nuclear region of galaxies behind the Magellanic Clouds. The radial velocities clarified the nature of the objects as background galaxies or extended objects belonging to the Clouds. For most galaxies behind the main bodies of the LMC and SMC, radial velocities were measured for the first time. In the present sample typical LMC background galaxies are nearby (4000 <V(km s−1) < 6000), while SMC’s are considerably more distant (10 000 <V(km s−1) < 20 000). We determine the reddening in each line of sight by matching a reddening-free galaxy template with comparable stellar population. For the LMC main body we derive a combined Milky Way and internal reddening value E(B−V )MW+i =0.120.10, while for the SMC E(B−V )MW+i =0.050.05.

  • Expected Differences Between AGB Stars in the LMC and the SMC Due to Differences in Chemical Composition
    New Views of the Magellanic Clouds fA U Symposium, Vol. 190, 1999 Y.-H. Chu, N.B. Suntzef], J.E. Hesser, and D.A. Bohlender, eds. Expected Differences between AGB Stars in the LMC and the SMC Due to Differences in Chemical Composition Ju. Frantsman Astronomical Institute, Latvian University, Raina Blvd. 19, Riga, LV-1586, LATVIA Abstract. Certain aspects of the AGB population, such as the relative number of M and N stars, the mass loss rates, and the initial masses of carbon- oxygen cores, depend on the initial heavy element abundance Z. I have calculated synthetic populations of AGB stars for different initial Z values taking into consideration the evolution of single and close binary stars. I present the results of population syntheses of AGB stars in clusters as a function of different initial chemical compositions. The relation for the tip luminosity of AGB stars versus cluster age as a function of Z is presented and is used to determine the ages for a number of clusters in the LMC and the SMC, including clusters with no previous age determinations. Population simulations show that for low heavy element abundance (Z = 0.001) few M stars are formed with respect to the number of carbon stars. However, the total number of all AGB stars in clusters is not affected by the initial chemical composition. As a result of the evolution of close binary components after the mass exchange, an increase in the range of limiting values of the thermal pulsing AGB star luminosities is expected. The difference between the maximum luminosity on the AGB of single star and the luminosity of a star after a mass exchange event in a close binary system may be as great as 1 magnitude for very young clusters.

  • From Luminous Hot Stars to Starburst Galaxies
    9780521791342pre CUP/CONT July 9, 2008 11:48 Page-i FROM LUMINOUS HOT STARS TO STARBURST GALAXIES Luminous hot stars represent the extreme upper mass end of normal stellar evolution. Before exploding as supernovae, they live out their lives of only a few million years with prodigious outputs of radiation and stellar winds which dramatically affect both their evolution and environments. A detailed introduction to the topic, this book connects the astrophysics of mas- sive stars with the extremes of galaxy evolution represented by starburst phenomena. A thorough discussion of the physical and wind parameters of massive stars is pre- sented, together with considerations of their birth, evolution, and death. Hll galaxies, their connection to starburst galaxies, and the contribution of starburst phenomena to galaxy evolution through superwinds, are explored. The book concludes with the wider cosmological implications, including Population III stars, Lyman break galaxies, and gamma-ray bursts, for each of which massive stars are believed to play a crucial role. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in astrophysics who are interested in massive stars and their role in the evolution of galaxies. Peter S. Conti is an Emeritus Professor at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astro- physics (JILA) and theAstrophysics and Planetary Sciences Department at the University of Colorado. Paul A. Crowther is a Professor of Astrophysics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Sheffield.

  • Science in the Urantia Papers
    Science ¾ Scientific Validation of the UB z By Denver Pearson z By Phil Calabrese ¾ Seraphic Velocities ¾ Astronomy The Scientific Integrity of the Urantia Book by Denver Pearson As scientifically minded readers first peruse the Urantia Book, it soon occurs to them that many of its statements on the natural sciences conflict with currently held data and theories. In the minds of many this gives rise to doubts about the truthfulness of those statements. Wisdom would lead us to realize that nothing short of perfection is perfect, and anything touched by human hands has fingerprints. This should be our guiding thoughts as we contemplate the accuracy of the scientific content of the Urantia Papers. Several years ago, at the first scientific symposium, it was implied by one of the speakers that the revelation contains errors. This implication is alarming. More recently, at the second symposium held in Oklahoma, an interesting publication named "The Science Content of The Urantia Book" was made available (this document is obtainable from the Brotherhood of Man Library). In this publication is an article entitled "Time Bombs" in which the author suggests that the revelators planted certain inaccurate scientific statements in the book in order to prevent it from becoming a fetish. He states "...the revelators incorporated safeguards in the papers that would form The Urantia Book to diminish the tendency to regard it as an object of worship. What safeguards did they use? Suppose they decided to make sure that mortals reading it understood that some cosmological statements in the book would be found to be inaccurate".
