Shaya University of Maryland, Astronomy Department, College Park, MD 20743, USA ABSTRACT Cosmicflows-3 distances and inferred peculiar velocities of galaxies have permitted the reconstruction of the structure of over and under densities within the volume extending to 0:05c. This study focuses on the under dense regions, particularly the Local Void that lies largely in the zone of obscuration and consequently has received limited attention. Major over dense structures that bound the Local Void are the Perseus-Pisces and Norma-Pavo-Indus filaments sepa- rated by 8,500 km s−1. The void network of the universe is interconnected and void passages are found from the Local Void to the adjacent very large Hercules and Sculptor voids. Minor filaments course through voids. A particularly interesting example connects the Virgo and Perseus clusters, with several substantial galaxies found along the chain in the depths of the Local Void. The Local Void has a substantial dynamical effect, causing a deviant motion of the Local Group of 200 − 250 km s−1. -

Perseus Perseus
Lateinischer Name: Deutscher Name: Per Perseus Perseus Atlas (2000.0) Karte Cambridge Star Kulmination um 2, 3 Atlas Mitternacht: Benachbarte 1, 4, Sky Atlas Sternbilder: 5 And Ari Aur Cam Cas 7. November Tau Tri Deklinationsbereich: 30° ... 59° Fläche am Himmel: 615° 2 Mythologie und Geschichte: Akrisios war der König von Argos und hatte eine hübsche Tochter namens Danae. Das Orakel von Delphi prophezeite ihm, sein Enkelsohn werde ihn einst töten. Aus Furcht vor diesem Orakelspruch ließ Akrisios seine Tochter Danae in einen Turm einschließen, damit sie keinen Mann empfangen könne. Akrisios konnte natürlich nicht wissen, dass Zeus selbst sich der liebreizenden Danae nähern wollte. Zeus tat dies auch und nahm dazu die Form eines goldenen Regens an, der durch die Wände, Fugen, Ritzen und Fenster drang. Danae gebar einen Sohn, welcher "Der aus fließendem Gold entstandene" oder auch "Der Goldgeborene" genannt wurde - eben den Perseus. Akrisios blieb dies natürlich nicht lange verborgen und er ließ seine Tochter und sein Enkelkind in einen Kasten einnageln, der dann ins Meer geworfen wurde. Danae und Perseus trieben lange Zeit auf dem Meer, bis sie schließlich an der Küste der steinigen Insel Seriphos strandeten und aus ihrem Gefängnis befreit wurden. Auf dieser Insel herrschte Polydektes, der bald jahrelang um die schöne Danae warb, jedoch vergebens. Entweder um Danae doch noch zur Ehe zu zwingen oder um Perseus aus dem Weg zu schaffen, schickte er den inzwischen zum Jüngling herangewachsenen Sohn der Danae aus, eine tödliche Aufgabe zu erledigen. Er solle das Haupt der Medusa zu holen. Die Medusa war eine der Gorgonen, eine der drei Töchter des Phorkys, die mit Schlangenhaaren ausgestattet waren und einen versteinernden Blick werfen konnten. -

Open Clusters
Open Clusters Open clusters (also known as galactic clusters) are of tremendous importance to the science of astronomy, if not to astrophysics and cosmology generally. Star clusters serve as the "laboratories" of astronomy, with stars now all at nearly the same distance and all created at essentially the same time. Each cluster thus is a running experiment, where we can observe the effects of composition, age, and environment. We are hobbled by seeing only a snapshot in time of each cluster, but taken collectively we can understand their evolution, and that of their included stars. These clusters are also important tracers of the Milky Way and other parent galaxies. They help us to understand their current structure and derive theories of the creation and evolution of galaxies. Just as importantly, starting from just the Hyades and the Pleiades, and then going to more distance clusters, open clusters serve to define the distance scale of the Milky Way, and from there all other galaxies and the entire universe. However, there is far more to the study of star clusters than that. Anyone who has looked at a cluster through a telescope or binoculars has realized that these are objects of immense beauty and symmetry. Whether a cluster like the Pleiades seen with delicate beauty with the unaided eye or in a small telescope or binoculars, or a cluster like NGC 7789 whose thousands of stars are seen with overpowering wonder in a large telescope, open clusters can only bring awe and amazement to the viewer. These sights are available to all. -
Introduction to Astronomical Photometry, Second Edition
This page intentionally left blank Introduction to Astronomical Photometry, Second Edition Completely updated, this Second Edition gives a broad review of astronomical photometry to provide an understanding of astrophysics from a data-based perspective. It explains the underlying principles of the instruments used, and the applications and inferences derived from measurements. Each chapter has been fully revised to account for the latest developments, including the use of CCDs. Highly illustrated, this book provides an overview and historical background of the subject before reviewing the main themes within astronomical photometry. The central chapters focus on the practical design of the instruments and methodology used. The book concludes by discussing specialized topics in stellar astronomy, concentrating on the information that can be derived from the analysis of the light curves of variable stars and close binary systems. This new edition includes numerous bibliographic notes and a glossary of terms. It is ideal for graduate students, academic researchers and advanced amateurs interested in practical and observational astronomy. Edwin Budding is a research fellow at the Carter Observatory, New Zealand, and a visiting professor at the Çanakkale University, Turkey. Osman Demircan is Director of the Ulupınar Observatory of Çanakkale University, Turkey. Cambridge Observing Handbooks for Research Astronomers Today’s professional astronomers must be able to adapt to use telescopes and interpret data at all wavelengths. This series is designed to provide them with a collection of concise, self-contained handbooks, which covers the basic principles peculiar to observing in a particular spectral region, or to using a special technique or type of instrument. The books can be used as an introduction to the subject and as a handy reference for use at the telescope, or in the office. -

Walter Scott Houston: MÉLY-ÉG CSODÁK 1975-1980 Sky And
Albireo Amat ırcsillagász Klub Walter Scott Houston: MÉLY-ÉG CSODÁK 1975-1980 Sky and Telescope Fordította: Szentmártoni Béla 1975. január Nemrég jártam újra Tucsonban, Arizónában, ahol 40 évvel ezel ıtt a csillagokat és ködöket fényesebbnek láttam, mint bármely más helyen. A Steward Observatory udvarában állva, szabadszemmel egykor 18 csillagot számoltam meg a Pleiades-ben, de ezen az éjjelen 1974- ben semmivel sem többet mint 5-öt. Az ok az volt, hogy épp miel ıtt besötétedett az ég, s őrő szmog felh ık ülepedtek rá a rézkohók fel ıl arra a természetes medencére, melyben Tucson elhelyezkedik. Telefonáltam Ronald Morale-nak, a következ ı éjszaka mi, valamint John Bartek és Daniel Knight mérföldekre kimentünk a sötét sivatagba, az Empire hegyekbe. 3 db 20 cm-es és egy 15 cm-es reflektort vittünk, s a tiszta égen a diffrakciós határig dolgoztak a m őszerek. Kezd ı objektumunk a 9 ½ mg NGC 891 volt, s átengedtük magunkat a gyönyörködésnek. A 20T-vel e 12 x 1’-es élér ıl látszó galaxis csaknem a fél LM-t átérte. Fényes volt és éles szélekkel bírt. De a nagy meglepetés EL-al jött el ıször, majd KL-al is, amint egy sötét ösvény látszott az orsó hosszán végig, s ez az ösvény határozott kagylókkal bírt a szélei mentén. Bár fényképek jól mutatják az NGC 891 porösvényét, ez volt az els ı alkalom, hogy láttam távcs ıvel. Az volt a célunk, hogy olyan objektumokat vizsgáljunk, melyek speciális észlelési problémákkal bírnak. A legtöbb kis távcs ıben az M 1 jobbára csak mint homályos 6x4’-es folt látszik, a 8 ½ mg összfényessége dacára. -
Making a Sky Atlas
Appendix A Making a Sky Atlas Although a number of very advanced sky atlases are now available in print, none is likely to be ideal for any given task. Published atlases will probably have too few or too many guide stars, too few or too many deep-sky objects plotted in them, wrong- size charts, etc. I found that with MegaStar I could design and make, specifically for my survey, a “just right” personalized atlas. My atlas consists of 108 charts, each about twenty square degrees in size, with guide stars down to magnitude 8.9. I used only the northernmost 78 charts, since I observed the sky only down to –35°. On the charts I plotted only the objects I wanted to observe. In addition I made enlargements of small, overcrowded areas (“quad charts”) as well as separate large-scale charts for the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, the latter with guide stars down to magnitude 11.4. I put the charts in plastic sheet protectors in a three-ring binder, taking them out and plac- ing them on my telescope mount’s clipboard as needed. To find an object I would use the 35 mm finder (except in the Virgo Cluster, where I used the 60 mm as the finder) to point the ensemble of telescopes at the indicated spot among the guide stars. If the object was not seen in the 35 mm, as it usually was not, I would then look in the larger telescopes. If the object was not immediately visible even in the primary telescope – a not uncommon occur- rence due to inexact initial pointing – I would then scan around for it. -
Commentary on Interstellar Matter Associated with 18 Open Clusters
NASA Reference Publication 1229 1989 Commentary on Interstellar Matter Associated With 18 Open Clusters David Leisawitz Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, Maryland NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Management Scientific and Technical Information Division Preface This report summarizes information supplementary to that contained in Section IV of an article entitled "A CO Survey of Regions Around 34 Open Clusters" (Leisawitz, Bash, and Thaddeus 1989). The information presented here, which describes the interstellar environments of young clusters and some cluster physical characteristics, comes from observations published in the astronomical literature and the author's carbon monoxide (CO) emission line survey, and may help clarify our understanding of the interaction of massive stars with the interstellar medium. PRECEDING PAGE BLANK NOT FILMED iii Identification and Galactic coordinate data for the open clusters discussed in this report are given in Table 1. Additional information about the clusters can be found in Leisawitz, Bash, and Thaddeus (1989; hereafter referred to as Paper I) and in the Catalog of Open Clusters and Associated Interstellar Matter (Leisawitz 1988). Following the table, the clusters and their associated interstellar matter are described. The molecular cloud nomenclature is that of Paper I.
