Editie Van Alexander Riese Over dit boek Dit is een digitale kopie van een boek dat al generaties lang op bibliotheekplanken heeft gestaan, maar nu zorgvuldig is gescand door Google. Dat doen we omdat we alle boeken ter wereld online beschikbaar willen maken. Dit boek is zo oud dat het auteursrecht erop is verlopen, zodat het boek nu deel uitmaakt van het publieke domein. Een boek dat tot het publieke domein behoort, is een boek dat nooit onder het auteursrecht is gevallen, of waarvan de wettelijke auteursrechttermijn is verlopen. Het kan per land verschillen of een boek tot het publieke domein behoort. Boeken in het publieke domein zijn een stem uit het verleden. Ze vormen een bron van geschiedenis, cultuur en kennis die anders moeilijk te verkrijgen zou zijn. Aantekeningen, opmerkingen en andere kanttekeningen die in het origineel stonden, worden weergegeven in dit bestand, als herinnering aan de lange reis die het boek heeft gemaakt van uitgever naar bibliotheek, en uiteindelijk naar u. Richtlijnen voor gebruik Google werkt samen met bibliotheken om materiaal uit het publieke domein te digitaliseren, zodat het voor iedereen beschikbaar wordt. Boeken uit het publieke domein behoren toe aan het publiek; wij bewaren ze alleen. Dit is echter een kostbaar proces. Om deze dienst te kunnen blijven leveren, hebben we maatregelen genomen om misbruik door commerciële partijen te voorkomen, zoals het plaatsen van technische beperkingen op automatisch zoeken.

Near-IR echelle spectra in [FeII] 1.644 µm emission trace Forbidden Emission Line (FEL) regions towards seven Class I HH energy sources (SVS 13, B5-IRS1, IRAS 04239+2436, L1551-IRS5, HH 34-IRS, HH 72-IRS and HH 379-IRS) and three classical T Tauri stars (AS 353A, DG Tau and RW Aur). The parameters of these FEL regions are compared to the characteristics of the Molecular Hydrogen Emission Line (MHEL) regions recently discovered towards the same outflow sources (Davis et al. 2001 – Paper I). The [FeII] and H2 lines both trace emission from the base of a large-scale collimated outflow, although they clearly trace different flow components. We find that the [FeII] is associated with higher-velocity gas than the H2, and that the [FeII] emission peaks further away from the embedded source in each system. This is probably because the [FeII] is more closely associated with HH-type shocks in the inner, on-axis jet regions, while the H2 may be excited along the boundary between the jet and the near-stationary, dense ambient medium that envelopes the protostar.

The results of a deep mid-IR ISOCAM survey of the L1551 dark molecular cloud are presented. The aim of this survey is a search for new YSO (Young Stellar Object) candidates, using two broad-band filters centred at 6.7 and 14.3 µm. Although two regions close to the centre of L1551 had to be avoided due to saturation problems, 96 sources were detected in total (76 sources at 6.7 µm and 44 sources at 14.3 µm).

  • One of the Most Useful Accessories an Amateur Can Possess Is One of the Ubiquitous Optical Filters
    One of the most useful accessories an amateur can possess is one of the ubiquitous optical filters. Having been accessible previously only to the professional astronomer, they came onto the marker relatively recently, and have made a very big impact. They are useful, but don't think they're the whole answer! They can be a mixed blessing. From reading some of the advertisements in astronomy magazines you would be correct in thinking that they will make hitherto faint and indistinct objects burst into vivid observ­ ability. They don't. What the manufacturers do not mention is that regardless of the filter used, you will still need dark and transparent skies for the use of the filter to be worthwhile. Don't make the mistake of thinking that using a filter from an urban location will always make objects become clearer. The first and most immediately apparent item on the downside is that in all cases the use of a filter reduces the amount oflight that reaches the eye, often quite sub­ stantially. The brightness of the field of view and the objects contained therein is reduced. However, what the filter does do is select specific wavelengths of light emitted by an object, which may be swamped by other wavelengths. It does this by suppressing the unwanted wavelengths. This is particularly effective in observing extended objects such as emission nebulae and planetary nebulae. In the former case, use a filter that transmits light around the wavelength of 653.2 nm, which is the spectral line of hydrogen alpha (Ha), and is the wavelength oflight respons­ ible for the spectacular red colour seen in photographs of emission nebulae.

M. Villa1, M. A. Trinidad1, E. de la Fuente2, and T. Rodr´ıguez-Esnard2 Received May 22 2017; accepted August 14 2017 ABSTRACT We analyzed high angular resolution observations of the Very Large Array archive at a wavelength of 7 mm made for the L1551 IRS 5 binary system. Six sets of observations, five with the A configuration and one with the B configura- tion, were used, covering a time span of about 15 years. With these multi-epoch data, we estimated the absolute and relative proper motions of the binary system, which are about 25.1 mas yr−1 (≈ 16.7 km s−1 considering a distance of 140 pc) and 4.2 mas yr−1, respectively. Finally, based on the relative proper motion, we estimated a total mass for the L1551 IRS 5 binary system of 1.7 M⊙ and an orbital period of 246 years.

    Handbook of Star Forming Regions Vol. I Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008 Bo Reipurth, ed. Low Mass Star Formation in the Taurus-Auriga Clouds Scott J. Kenyon Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 60 Garden Street Cambridge, MA 02138, USA Mercedes Gomez´ Observatorio Astronomico,´ Universidad Nacional de Cor´ doba Laprida 854, 5000 Cor´ doba, Argentina Barbara A. Whitney Space Science Institute, 4750 Walnut Street, Suite 205 Boulder, CO 80301, USA Abstract. We review the history and structure of star formation in the Taurus-Auriga dark clouds. Our discussion includes a summary of the macroscopic cloud properties, the population of single and binary pre-main sequence stars, the properties of jets and outflows, and detailed summaries of selected individual objects. We include compre- hensive tables of dark clouds, young stars, and jets in the clouds. 1. Overview In October 1852, J. R. Hind `noticed a very small nebulous looking object' roughly 1800 west of a tenth magnitude star in Taurus. Over the next 15 years, the nebula slowly faded in brightness and in 1868 vanished completely from the view of the largest tele- scopes. O. Struve then found a new, smaller and fainter, nebulosity roughly 40 west of Hind's nebula. While trying to recover these nebulae, Burnham (1890, 1894) discov- ered a small elliptical nebula surrounding T Tau (Figure 1). Spectra of Hind's nebula revealed emission from either Hβ or [O III] λ5007, demonstrating that the nebula was gaseous as in novae and planetary nebulae. At about the same time, Knott (1891) reported 4 magnitude variability in the `ruddy' star associated with these nebulae, T Tauri.

  • Globular Clusters, Though
    Appendix: What You’re Looking At Early astronomers divided astronomical objects into three main types: planets, stars, and what were called mists or clouds; in Latin, nebulae. Stars had fixed positions relative to one another, but the planets moved about, and so the ancient Greeks called them wanderers, plan¯et¯es. The changing positions of the planets were hard to explain, and none of the Solar System models proposed bytheancientGreeksorRomansadequatelyexplainedthingssuchasretrograde motion. But even though they didn’t understand why the planets moved about, the Greeks and Romans both placed huge value on interpreting the movements of the planets. This is the art of astrology, a practice that has developed independently in many different cultures around the world. That stars were in some way similar to the Sun was something the ancient Greeks had guessed at, but it wasn’t until the nineteenth century and the invention of spec- troscopy that scientists could demonstrate that the light produced by the Sun was the similar to that produced by the stars. Over time different types of stars were identi- fied, and it soon became clear that the Sun was a relatively small and ordinary star by cosmic standards, even though it is vitally important to us. Nebulae posed particular problems for astronomers prior to the invention of the telescope. To the naked eye all nebulae look alike, nothing more than faint, misty patches of light. Only with the telescope was the diversity of nebulae revealed, but while they could be seen to be morphologically different, astronomers of the early modern era didn’t understand that a planetary nebula is a very different thing to something like the Great Nebula in Andromeda, what we’d today recognize as a galaxy.

    ASTRONOMISCHE NACHRICHTEN. Double-Star Observations made at the Lick Observatory by S.FKBurnkarn. (Communicated by the Director Prof. Edward S. Holden.) The following are the principal double-star observations made by me with the thirtysix and twelve inch re- fractors of the Lick Observatory in August, September and October of the present year. In this list, as a rule, only the stars are given which have been measured on at least three nights. Unless othenvise stated in the notes, the new double-stars were discovered with the I 2 inch telescope. The aperture of the instrument with which the micrometrical measures were made is given in the last column. New Double-Stat& Lal. 58. < Piscium. RA. oh~"48' Decl. +5 zo 5 7'.
