(submitted) disks apparent embedded embedded YSOs apparent disks Fig. 6. Millimeter flux versus envelope mass. In panel a the envelope mass is correlated to the total flux at 1.2 mm (calculated assuming a distane of 140 pc). The envelope mass can be measured by this optically thin emission, but this can hardly be used to disentangle the edge-on disks from the low-mass envelopes, because in the transition between stage I and stage II the masses of the disk and of the envelope become comparable and so are the two emissions (as shown in the right part of the plot). In panel b, we correct for the flux coming from the inner 300 AU ( 2"" at 140 pc) (obtainable with mm-interferometry) showing a much tighter ∼ correlation. In panel c we substitute the envelope mass with the ratio between disk and total mass and show that this correlates perfectly with the ratios between mm–interferometry and single–dish. Fig. 4.

This is not true for edge-on systems (empty triangles), and in particular for stage II YSOs which show similar values as the stage I.

    The Dunhuang Chinese Sky: a Comprehensive Study of the Oldest Known Star Atlas

    25/02/09JAHH/v4 1 THE DUNHUANG CHINESE SKY: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE OLDEST KNOWN STAR ATLAS JEAN-MARC BONNET-BIDAUD Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique ,Centre de Saclay, F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France E-mail: [email protected] FRANÇOISE PRADERIE Observatoire de Paris, 61 Avenue de l’Observatoire, F- 75014 Paris, France E-mail: [email protected] and SUSAN WHITFIELD The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB, UK E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the star atlas included in the medieval Chinese manuscript (Or.8210/S.3326), discovered in 1907 by the archaeologist Aurel Stein at the Silk Road town of Dunhuang and now held in the British Library. Although partially studied by a few Chinese scholars, it has never been fully displayed and discussed in the Western world. This set of sky maps (12 hour angle maps in quasi-cylindrical projection and a circumpolar map in azimuthal projection), displaying the full sky visible from the Northern hemisphere, is up to now the oldest complete preserved star atlas from any civilisation. It is also the first known pictorial representation of the quasi-totality of the Chinese constellations. This paper describes the history of the physical object – a roll of thin paper drawn with ink. We analyse the stellar content of each map (1339 stars, 257 asterisms) and the texts associated with the maps. We establish the precision with which the maps are drawn (1.5 to 4° for the brightest stars) and examine the type of projections used.

In protostellar clusters where most stars form, outflows impact the cluster environment by injecting momentum and energy into the cloud, dispersing the surrounding gas and feeding turbulent motions. Here we present several studies of very dense, active regions within low- to intermediate-mass Why: protostellar clusters. Our observations include interferometer (i.e. CARMA) and single dish (e.g. FCRAO, IRAM 30m, APEX) To recover flux over a range of spatial scales in the region observations, probing scales over several orders of magnitude. How: Based on these observations, we calculate the masses and kinematics of outflows in these regions, and provide constraints for Jy beam km s Joint deconvolution method (Stanimirovic 2002), CARMA-only v=-2 to 6 km/s CARMA-only v=10 to 17 km/s models of clustered star formation.

On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. Close to the horizon is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan with the handle stretching to your left. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The two right-hand stars are called the Pointers. Can you tell that the higher of the two, Dubhe is slightly yellowish compared to the lower, Merak? Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white- hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you upwards to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the left are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris.

It consists of a humorous 24-minute show and educator’s package. The Orion Educator’s Guide is designed for Planetarians, Teachers, and parents. The information is researched, organized, and laid out so that the educator need not spend hours coming up with lesson plans or labs. This has already been accomplished by certified educators. The guide is written to alleviate the fear of space and the night sky (that many elementary and middle school teachers have) when it comes to that section of the science lesson plan. It is an excellent tool that allows the parents to be a part of the learning experience. The guide is devised in such a way that there are plenty of visuals to assist the educator and student in finding the Winter constellations.

Young4,13 Draft version October 24, 2018 ABSTRACT We present maps of 7.78 square degrees of the Lupus molecular cloud complex at 24, 70, and 160µm. They were made with the Spitzer Space Telescope’s Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) instrument as part of the Spitzer Legacy Program, “From Molecular Cores to Planet-Forming Disks” (c2d). The maps cover three separate regions in Lupus, denoted I, III, and IV. We discuss the c2d pipeline and how our data processing differs from it. We compare source counts in the three regions with two other data sets and predicted star counts from the Wainscoat model. This comparison shows the contribution from background galaxies in Lupus I. We also create two color magnitude diagrams using the 2MASS and MIPS data. From these results, we can identify background galaxies and distinguish them from probable young stellar objects. The sources in our catalogs are classified based on their spectral energy distribution (SED) from 2MASS and Spitzer wavelengths to create a sample of young stellar object candidates.

    Star Wheel Questions Set the star wheel for 9pm on November 1st. the edges of the star window are where the sky meets the ground. This is called the horizon. 1. What constellation is near the northern horizon? (Ursa Major, Bootes) 2. What constellation is near the eastern horizon? (Orion, Eridanus) The center of the star wheel is the top of the sky, over your head. 3. Name two constellations that are near the top of the sky. (Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Andromeda) On the star wheel, bigger stars appear brighter in the sky. 4. Which constellation would be easier to see because it has more bright stars: Cassiopeia or Cepheus? (Cassiopeia) 5. Planets are not shown on the star wheel. Why not? (because they change positions over time) Now set the star wheel for midnight on March 15. 6. Where in the sky would you look to see Canis Major? (near the western horizon) 7. Look toward the east. What constellation is about halfway between the horizon and the top of the sky in the east? (Corona Borealis (best answer) also Hercules, Bootes) The lines connecting the stars give us an idea about which stars belong to a constellation, and offer a pattern for us to look for in the sky. Each star pattern is supposed to represent a person, object or animal. For instance, Leo is supposed to be a lion. You also may have noticed that some constellations are bigger than others. 8.
