For one, residents live atop a fractured and complex geology and largely rely on groundwater for domestic and livestock uses. That complexity makes it difficult to forecast the decline in water levels in the Sandia Basin, although a consultant’s study for the Office of the State Engineer (OSE) showed average declines exceed- ing current guidelines. Both areas rely on surface moisture, snow in particular, to recharge groundwater, although the complex geology affects what water goes where. The state’s history of periodic severe droughts, combined with climate-change prediction of shorter winters with less snow in the Sandia Mountains, adds to residents’ concerns about the future of their aquifers. The Sandia Basin, including Tijeras and Cedar Crest, covers four-hundred square miles, from south of Interstate 40 to the northeast corner of Bernalillo County, abutting Torrance, Santa Fe, and Sandoval counties. Placitas is in the adjacent and significantly larger Rio Grande Basin. What the Sandia Basin has that Placitas doesn’t is twenty years of community opposition, nearly 12 of those years in court, over a proposal to develop 8,046 acres of a ranch for 4,024 homes, commercial sites, and two nine-hole golf courses. Central to that was tapping up to 350 acre-feet of groundwater annually— about 114 million gallons—although with water from other local sources the developer planned to use about twice that much. The application by a Nevada company to “appropriate” the water was initially denied by one state engineer, saying water in the basin already was fully appropri- ated. After a change of administrations in Santa Fe, a new state engineer spoke in favor of the application. Ultimately a District Court judge late in 2019 denied the application as “being inconsistent with applicable principles of conservation” and its significant threat to Edmond “Ed” DeLavy existing water rights. The case remains on appeal over how much the Nevada com- pany owes the opposition for legal costs. Then in March, current State Engineer John D’Antonio Jr. ordered the Sandia Western artist left a Basin closed to further appropriations. In the order he cited the December study by consultant Tom Morrison, a professional engineer and former chief of the OSE permanent legacy Hydrology Bureau. ~BILL DIVEN The order also covers a roughly two-by-seven-mile piece of the Rio Grande Basin directly north in Sandoval County, taking in the community of La Madera.

  • The List Is Compiled in “Constellation by Right Ascension, Right Ascension Within Constellation”, Order
    The following list is a result of too many nights racing through Messier marathons, wandering through the Herschel 400, scanning the southern horizon for unexpected treasures, star-hopping for invisible faint fuzzies, and finally, finding myself at the helm of a 22-inch Go-To telescope, not knowing what to look at next! You’ll no doubt recognize many of the objects I’ve included. Many are the finest, most visited, destinations in the night sky. Some are the best in their class, although they may still seem a challenge with apertures under 20 inches. A few will make you yearn for your old 3-inch refractor, or dark skies from your earliest deep sky memories. The list is compiled in “constellation by right ascension, right ascension within constellation”, order. If you use digital setting circles or a driven Go- To telescope, you’ll appreciate the “by constellation” tasking. The SkyQ designation rates the objects first by sky quality (naked-eye limiting magnitude 4-5-6+ was what I had in mind, it varies...), and exclamation marks flag objects that are particularly notable. For double and multiple stars, judge your night and your telescope on the Size/Sep column. Remarks are mostly from old notes scribbled at the eyepiece of a 20-inch Dobsonian or a 5-inch richest field refractor. Some notes were culled from other observer’s posts, periodicals, and numerous texts. Positional elements for all NGC and IC objects are epoch 2000, stellar positional elements are mixed. Current separations for double stars are estimated for 2000 (some are surprising if you’ve been observing true binaries for 30 years!) The farthest south object in the list is Alpha Centauri, followed closely by Eta Carina.

  • 2021-NM-ACT-Virtual-Day-Of-Action
    Legislative Asks This year, we are asking lawmakers to help us fight for a healthier New Mexico. This document will guide you through our 2 priority asks for 2021. You probably won't be able to cover all four asks in your meeting/phone call. Start with the area you are most passionate about. Remember to include your personal story! Increase the tax on tobacco products to prevent kids from smoking, help current users quit and raise state revenue. ASK: Please vote to increase the tax on cigarettes by $2 per pack with an equivalent increase in other tobacco products. Vote YES on HB# , SB# . • Significantly raising the tax on tobacco has been proven to stop kids from smoking before they start. What's more, it will save nearly $522 million in health care costs and save the lives of more than 6,600 New Mexicans. • A $2/pack increase in the cigarette tax with an equivalent increase on other tobacco products: o Will prevent more than 9,400 kids from starting to use tobacco: and o Will generate $13 million in new revenue to save critical state programs; and is supported by 81% of New Mexico voters according to recent polls. Local Control or Preemption ASK: Please vote to repeal existing tobacco preemption in the New Mexico Tobacco Products Act in order to allow local governments to adopt their own laws in the most effective ways for their communities. Please vote YES on HB 97 • Local governments are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of the people in their communities.

Several galaxies in the Virgo cluster are known to have large H i gas tails related to a recent ram-pressure stripping event. The Virgo cluster has been extensively observed at 1539 Å in the far-ultraviolet for the GALEX Ultraviolet Virgo Cluster Survey (GUViCS), and in the optical for the Next Generation Virgo Survey (NGVS), allowing a study of the stellar emission potentially associated with the gas tails of 8 cluster members.

Galaxies undergoing violent episodes of star-formation are expected to be rich in high energy cosmic rays (CRs). We have investigated the role of these CRs in such environments, particularly how they could contribute to this burst-like SFH via quenching and feedback. These high energy particles interact with the baryon and radiation fields of their host via hadronic processes to produce secondary leptons. The secondary particles then also interact with ambient radiation fields to generate X-rays through inverse-Compton scattering.
