  • ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series A
    had a look into the control room, where the different purposes of the computers and monitors were illustrated. After dinner we went again up on the mountain and we saw the opening of the telescopes. The winners were real- ly excited seeing the “big brother” of the NTT moving. After sunset we stayed for a long time in the control room. We got explanations of the instruments mount- ed on each telescope as well as of the objects imaged that night. The Tele- scope Operators, the Staff Astronom- ers and the Visiting Astronomers kindly explained us their work. Of course, on both observatories we had the possibility to ask questions, which was very important for the win- ners, not just hearing astronomers talk- ing, but speaking directly to them. Although the long trip was very ex- VLT: The winners and Gerd Hudepohl in front of UT1. hausting, we forgot it completely seeing the observatories.

  • Messier Objects
    Messier Objects From the Stocker Astroscience Center at Florida International University Miami Florida The Messier Project Main contributors: • Daniel Puentes • Steven Revesz • Bobby Martinez Charles Messier • Gabriel Salazar • Riya Gandhi • Dr. James Webb – Director, Stocker Astroscience center • All images reduced and combined using MIRA image processing software. (Mirametrics) What are Messier Objects? • Messier objects are a list of astronomical sources compiled by Charles Messier, an 18th and early 19th century astronomer. He created a list of distracting objects to avoid while comet hunting. This list now contains over 110 objects, many of which are the most famous astronomical bodies known. The list contains planetary nebula, star clusters, and other galaxies. - Bobby Martinez The Telescope The telescope used to take these images is an Astronomical Consultants and Equipment (ACE) 24- inch (0.61-meter) Ritchey-Chretien reflecting telescope. It has a focal ratio of F6.2 and is supported on a structure independent of the building that houses it. It is equipped with a Finger Lakes 1kx1k CCD camera cooled to -30o C at the Cassegrain focus. It is equipped with dual filter wheels, the first containing UBVRI scientific filters and the second RGBL color filters. Messier 1 Found 6,500 light years away in the constellation of Taurus, the Crab Nebula (known as M1) is a supernova remnant. The original supernova that formed the crab nebula was observed by Chinese, Japanese and Arab astronomers in 1054 AD as an incredibly bright “Guest star” which was visible for over twenty-two months. The supernova that produced the Crab Nebula is thought to have been an evolved star roughly ten times more massive than the Sun.

    AAAssstttrrrooonnnooomyyy CCCllluuubbb ooofff TTTuuulllsssaaa OOOOOObbbbbbsssssseeeeeerrrrrrvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrr October 2009 Messier 15 Jean-Dominique Maraldi discovered M15 on September 7, 1746. He described it as 'A nebulous star, fairly bright and composed of many stars'. Charles Messier, who cataloged it on June 3, 1764, and Johann Bode couldn't make this out and described it as 'nebula without stars,' so that it remained to William Herschel in 1783 to resolve this fine star cluster. M15 was the first globular cluster in which a planetary nebula, Pease 1 or K 648 ("K" for "Kuster"), could be identified (Pease 1928, on photographic plates taken at Mt. Wilson in 1927). M15 can be found extremely easily: First find the 2nd magnitude star Epsilon Pegasi, and Theta Pegasi SE of it. Follow the line from Theta over Epsilon and find M15 3 1/2 deg W and 2 1/4 deg N of Epsilon. A 6th magnitude star is about 20' away to the East; another one of magnitude 7.5 is about 5' to the NNE. With its apparent visual brightness of magnitude 6.2, M15 is about at the limit of visibility for the naked eye under very good conditions. The slightest optical aid, opera glass or small binoculars, reveals it as a round nebulous object. It appears as a round mottled nebula in 4-inch telescopes, with at best the very brightest stars visible, but otherwise unresolved in a fine star field. Be sure to catch & log M15 this month!

  • What Has Hubble Learned from Star Clusters? Visual Notes
    Hubblecast 69: What has Hubble learned from star clusters? Visual notes 00:00 [Narrator] 1. Star clusters hang like sparkling firework displays in the sky, making them favourite observational targets for astronomers. Hubble has observed its fair share of these cosmic baubles, imaging and studying them to explore their secrets. This new image from Hubble shows a globular cluster known as Messier 15. As well as containing over 100 000 old stars, this cluster hosts something dark and mysterious at its heart. 00:39 2. Intro 01:0 [Narrator] 3. Star clusters are some of the most beautiful objects in our skies. Hubble has viewed many of these over the years — but it is not all style over substance. These clusters are incredibly useful to the astronomers studying them. What can they tell us about our Universe? 01:24 [Narrator] 4. There are two main types of star cluster: open, and globular. Most stars, including the Sun, are thought to have formed within open star clusters — groups of thousands of stars loosely bound together by gravity, destined to be spread throughout their host galaxy once the cluster matures and most of its gas disperses. Globular clusters are different; they are huge balls of old stars that orbit the centres of galaxies. Many of them were once little galaxies, cannibalised by their larger companions over the history of the Universe. 02:16 [Narrator] 5. Hubble has explored many globular clusters. The Milky Way alone has over 150 of these starry satellites, and Hubble’s sharp vision can resolve the individual stars.

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).
