  • Observational Studies of the Galaxy Peculiar Velocity Field
    OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES OF THE GALAXY PECULIAR VELOCITY FIELD by Philip Andrew James Astrophysics Group Blackett Laboratory Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine London SW7 2BZ A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Imperial College November 1988 1 ABSTRACT This thesis describes two observational studies of the peculiar velocity field of galaxies over scales of 50-100 Jr1 Mpc, and the consequences of these measurements for cosmological theories. An introduction is given to observational cosmology, emphasising the crucial questions of the nature of the dark matter and the formation of structure. The principal cosmological models are discussed, and the role of observations in developing these models is stressed. Consideration is given to those observations that are likely to prove good discriminators between the competing models, particular emphasis being given to studies of the coherent velocities of samples of galaxies. The first new study presented here uses optical photometry and redshifts, from the literature, for First Ranked Cluster Galaxies (FRCG’s). These galaxies are excellent standard candles, and thus ideal for peculiar velocity studies. A simple one­ dimensional analysis detects no relative motion between the Local Group of galaxies and 60 FRCG’s with redshifts of up to 15000 kms-1. This is shown to imply a streaming motion of the cluster galaxies of at least 600 kms_1 relative to the CBR. The second observational study is a reanalysis of the Rubin et al. (1976a,b) sample of Sc galaxies. Near-IR photometry is used in our reanalysis to minimise the effects of extinction and to facilitate the use of luminosity indicators in reducing the effects of selection biases.

    Spitzer IRS Spectroscopy of IRAS-Discovered Debris Disks1 C. H. Chen2,3, B. A. Sargent4, C. Bohac4, K. H. Kim4, E. Leibensperger5, M. Jura6, J. Najita2, W. J. Forrest4, D. M. Watson4, G. C. Sloan7, L. D. Keller5 ABSTRACT We have obtained Spitzer Space Telescope IRS 5.5 - 35 µm spectra of 59 main sequence stars that possess IRAS 60 µm excess. The spectra of five objects possess spectral features that are well-modeled using micron-sized grains and silicates with crystalline mass fractions 0% - 80%, consistent with T-Tauri and Herbig AeBe stars. With the exception of η Crv, these objects are young with ages 50 Myr. Our fits require the presence of a cool black body continuum, ≤ Tgr = 80 - 200 K, in addition to hot, amorphous and crystalline silicates, Tgr = 290 - 600 K, suggesting that multiple parent body belts are present in some debris disks, analogous to the asteroid and Kuiper belts in our solar system. The spectra for the majority of objects are featureless, suggesting that the emitting grains probably have radii a > 10 µm. We have modeled the excess continua using a continuous disk with a uniform surface density distribution, expected if Poynting-Robertson and stellar wind drag are the dominant grain removal processes, and using a single temperature black body, expected if the dust is located in a narrow ring around the star. The IRS spectra of many objects are better modeled with a single temperature black body, suggesting that the disks possess inner holes. The distribution of grain temperatures, based on our black body fits, peaks at Tgr = 110 - 120 K.

  • Lateinischer Name: Deutscher Name: Hya Hydra Wasserschlange
    Lateinischer Name: Deutscher Name: Hya Hydra Wasserschlange Atlas Karte (2000.0) Kulmination um Cambridge 10, 16, Mitternacht: Star Atlas 17 12, 13, Sky Atlas Benachbarte Sternbilder: 20, 21 Ant Cnc Cen Crv Crt Leo Lib 9. Februar Lup Mon Pup Pyx Sex Vir Deklinationsbereic h: -35° ... 7° Fläche am Himmel: 1303° 2 Mythologie und Geschichte: Bei der nördlichen Wasserschlange überlagern sich zwei verschiedene Bilder aus der griechischen Mythologie. Das erste Bild zeugt von der eher harmlosen Wasserschlange aus der Geschichte des Raben : Der Rabe wurde von Apollon ausgesandt, um mit einem goldenen Becher frisches Quellwasser zu holen. Stattdessen tat sich dieser an Feigen gütlich und trug bei seiner Rückkehr die Wasserschlange in seinen Fängen, als angebliche Begründung für seine Verspätung. Um jedermann an diese Untat zu erinnern, wurden der Rabe samt Becher und Wasserschlange am Himmel zur Schau gestellt. Von einem ganz anderen Schlag war die Wasserschlange, mit der Herakles zu tun hatte: In einem Sumpf in der Nähe von Lerna, einem See und einer Stadt an der Küste von Argo, hauste ein unsagbar gefährliches und grässliches Untier. Diese Schlange soll mehrere Köpfe gehabt haben. Fünf sollen es gewesen sein, aber manche sprechen auch von sechs, neun, ja fünfzig oder hundert Köpfen, aber in jedem Falle war der Kopf in der Mitte unverwundbar. Fürchterlich war es, da diesen grässlichen Mäulern - ob die Schlange nun schlief oder wachte - ein fauliger Atem, ein Hauch entwich, dessen Gift tödlich war. Kaum schlug ein todesmutiger Mann dem Untier einen Kopf ab, wuchsen auf der Stelle zwei neue Häupter hervor, die noch furchterregender waren. Eurystheus, der König von Argos, beauftragte Herakles in seiner zweiten Aufgabe diese lernäische Wasserschlange zu töten.

BPM 37093 is the only hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarf currently known which has sufficient mass (∼1.1 M)to theoretically crystallize while still inside the ZZ Ceti instability strip (Teff ∼ 12 000 K). As a consequence, this star represents our first opportunity to test crystallization theory directly. If the core is substantially crystallized, then the inner boundary for each pulsation mode will be located at the top of the solid core rather than at the center of the star, affecting mainly the average period spacing.

Whitmore Space Telescope Science Institute 3700 San Martin Drive Baltimore, MD 21218 [email protected] ABSTRACT Analysis of Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images of Stephan’s Quintet, Hickson Compact Group 92, yielded 115 candidate star clusters (with V I<1:5). Unlike in merger remants, the cluster candidates in Stephan’s Quintet are not clustered in the inner− regions of the galaxies; they are spread over the debris and surrounding area. Specifically, these sources are located in the long sweeping tail and spiral arms of NGC 7319, in the tidal debris of NGC 7318B/A, and in the intragroup starburst region north of these galaxies. Analysis of the colors of the clusters indicate several distinct epochs of star formation that appear to trace the complex history of dynamical interactions in this compact group.
