One person’s favorite cobblestoned and distinctive buildings (apparently there’s some art alley is some developer’s idea of prime real estate. Bits of old inside, too). The Cathedral of St. John the Divine (Map New York disappear to differing amounts of fanfare and 18) has a very medieval vibe and is the world’s largest make room for whatever it is we’ll be romanticizing in the unfinished cathedral—a much cooler destination than the future. Ain’t that the circle of life? The landmarks discussed eternally crowded St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Map 12). are highly idiosyncratic choices, and this list is by no means complete or even logical, but we’ve included an array of places, from world famous to little known, all worth visiting. Great Public Buildings Once upon a time, the city felt that public buildings should inspire civic pride through great architecture. Coolest Skyscrapers Head downtown to view City Hall (Map 3) (1812), Most visitors to New York go to the top of the Empire State Tweed Courthouse (Map 3) (1881), Jefferson Market Building (Map 9), but it’s far more familiar to New Yorkers Courthouse (Map 5) (1877—now a library), the Municipal from afar—as a directional guide, or as a tip-off to obscure Building (Map 3) (1914), and a host of other court- holidays (orange & white means it’s time to celebrate houses built in the early 20th century.

  • Detection of PAH and Far-Infrared Emission from the Cosmic Eye
    Accepted for publication in ApJ A Preprint typeset using LTEX style emulateapj v. 08/22/09 DETECTION OF PAH AND FAR-INFRARED EMISSION FROM THE COSMIC EYE: PROBING THE DUST AND STAR FORMATION OF LYMAN BREAK GALAXIES B. Siana1, Ian Smail2, A. M. Swinbank2, J. Richard2, H. I. Teplitz3, K. E. K. Coppin2, R. S. Ellis1, D. P. Stark4, J.-P. Kneib5, A. C. Edge2 Accepted for publication in ApJ ABSTRACT ∗ We report the results of a Spitzer infrared study of the Cosmic Eye, a strongly lensed, LUV Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG) at z =3.074. We obtained Spitzer IRS spectroscopy as well as MIPS 24 and 70 µm photometry. The Eye is detected with high significance at both 24 and 70 µm and, when including +4.7 11 a flux limit at 3.5 mm, we estimate an infrared luminosity of LIR = 8.3−4.4 × 10 L⊙ assuming a magnification of 28±3. This LIR is eight times lower than that predicted from the rest-frame UV properties assuming a Calzetti reddening law. This has also been observed in other young LBGs, and indicates that the dust reddening law may be steeper in these galaxies. The mid-IR spectrum shows strong PAH emission at 6.2 and 7.7 µm, with equivalent widths near the maximum values observed in star-forming galaxies at any redshift. The LP AH -to-LIR ratio lies close to the relation measured in local starbursts. Therefore, LP AH or LMIR may be used to estimate LIR and thus, star formation rate, of LBGs, whose fluxes at longer wavelengths are typically below current confusion limits.

  • Stranje House
    Stranje House A School for Unusual Girls by Kathleen Baldwin Stranje House, School for Unusual Girls Kathleen Baldwin, page 2 Chapter 1 Banished London, 1814 “I’ll wager Sir Isaac Newton’s parents didn’t pack him off to a school to reform his manners.” I smoothed my traveling skirts and risked a glance at my parents. They sat across from me, stone-faced and indifferent to my arguments. “Do be quiet, Georgiana.” With gloved fingers my mother massaged her forehead. Our coach slowed and rolled to a complete standstill, waylaid by crowds spilling into the road. All of London celebrated Napoleon’s capture and imprisonment on the isle of Elba. Rich and poor danced in the streets, rejoicing together and singing songs around makeshift fires. Their jubilation made my journey to exile all the more dismal. My father drummed fingers against his thigh and muttered curse words about our snail-like progress through London. Mother closed her eyes as if in slumber, a ploy to evade my petitions. She could not possibly be sleeping while holding her spine in such an erect formation. She didn’t even allow herself the luxury of leaning back against the squibs for fear of crumpling the feathers on her bonnet. Somehow, some way, I had to make them see reason. “This is a pointless expense. Surely you realize I have no more use for a schoolroom. Next week I turn sixteen, and since I have already been out in society--” Mother snapped to attention, suddenly wide awake. “Oh yes, Georgiana, I’m well aware of the fact that you have already been out in society.
