  • 1984 Statistics
    NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY Observing Summary - 1984 Statistics February 1985 NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY Observing Summary - 1984 Statistics February 1985 Some Highlights of the 1984 Research Program • The 300-foot telescope was used to detect low-frequency carbon recombination lines from cold, diffuse Interstellar clouds in the direction of Cas A. Previously reported absorption lines were confirmed at 26 MHz and a number of other lines were identified in the 25 MHz to 68 MHz range. These lines promise to become an important diagnostic for the ionization conditions in cool interstellar clouds. • Extremely painstaking observations of several Abell clusters of galaxies with the 140-foot telescope have yielded three positive detections of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. The dimunition in the brightness of the microwave background in the direction of clusters is the direct result of the Inverse Compton scattering of the 3° K blackbody photons by electrons in the Intracluster gas. The observations took full advantage of the low noise temperature, broadband, and excellent stability of the Green Bank 18-26 MHz maser system. • The J ■ 1*0 transition of the long-sought-after molecular ion, HCNff*", was detected with the 12-meter telescope at 74.1 GHz. The existence of protonated HCN is one of the prime tests of the theory of ion-molecule reaction schemes in interstellar chemistry. Virtually all CN-containing interstellar molecules, such as HCN, HNC, and many long-chain cyanopolyynes, form directly from HCNH+. • A high-resolution VLA survey of all catalogued, high surface brightness, compact objects in the southern galactic plane uncovered a few objects which are not classifiable into previously known SNR categories.

  • Galaxy Cluster's Rotation

Plionis2;3 1 Institute for Astronomy, The University of Edinburgh, Royal Observatory, Blackford Hill, Edinburgh EH9 3HJ, UK. 2 Section of Astrophysics, Astronomy and Mechanics, Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54 124, Thessaloniki, Greece. 3 Instituto Nacional de Astrof´ısica Optica y Electr´onica, AP 51 y 216, 72000, Puebla, M´exico. 14 June 2018 ABSTRACT We study the possible rotation of cluster galaxies, developing, testing and applying a novel algorithm which identifies rotation, if such does exist, as well as its rotational centre, its axis orientation, rotational velocity amplitude and, finally, the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of rotation on the plane of the sky. To validate our algo- rithms we construct realistic Monte Carlo mock rotating clusters and confirm that our method provides robust indications of rotation. We then apply our methodology on a sample of Abell clusters with z . 0:1 with member galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR10 spectroscopic data base. After excluding a number of substructured clusters, which could provide erroneous indications of rotation, and taking into account the expected fraction of misidentified coherent substructure ve- locities for rotation, provided by our Monte-Carlo simulation analysis, we find that ∼ 23% of our clusters are rotating under a set of strict criteria. Loosening the strict- ness of the criteria, on the expense of introducing spurious rotation indications, we find this fraction increasing to ∼ 28%.

  • Science in the Urantia Papers
    Science ¾ Scientific Validation of the UB z By Denver Pearson z By Phil Calabrese ¾ Seraphic Velocities ¾ Astronomy The Scientific Integrity of the Urantia Book by Denver Pearson As scientifically minded readers first peruse the Urantia Book, it soon occurs to them that many of its statements on the natural sciences conflict with currently held data and theories. In the minds of many this gives rise to doubts about the truthfulness of those statements. Wisdom would lead us to realize that nothing short of perfection is perfect, and anything touched by human hands has fingerprints. This should be our guiding thoughts as we contemplate the accuracy of the scientific content of the Urantia Papers. Several years ago, at the first scientific symposium, it was implied by one of the speakers that the revelation contains errors. This implication is alarming. More recently, at the second symposium held in Oklahoma, an interesting publication named "The Science Content of The Urantia Book" was made available (this document is obtainable from the Brotherhood of Man Library). In this publication is an article entitled "Time Bombs" in which the author suggests that the revelators planted certain inaccurate scientific statements in the book in order to prevent it from becoming a fetish. He states "...the revelators incorporated safeguards in the papers that would form The Urantia Book to diminish the tendency to regard it as an object of worship. What safeguards did they use? Suppose they decided to make sure that mortals reading it understood that some cosmological statements in the book would be found to be inaccurate".

  • Is the Butcher-Oemler Effect a Function of the Cluster Redshift? S. Andreon
    THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL, 516:647È659, 1999 May 10 ( 1999. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Printed in U.S.A. IS THE BUTCHER-OEMLER EFFECT A FUNCTION OF THE CLUSTER REDSHIFT? S. ANDREON Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte, via Moiariello 16, 80131 Napoli, Italy; andreon=na.astro.it AND S. ETTORI Institute of Astronomy, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0HA, England, UK; settori=ast.cam.ac.uk Received 1998 May 29; accepted 1998 December 18 ABSTRACT Using PSPC ROSAT data, we measure the X-ray surface brightness proÐles, size, and luminosity of the Butcher-Oemler (BO) sample of clusters of galaxies. The cluster X-ray size, as measured by the Pet- rosianrg/2 radius, does not change with redshift and is independent of X-ray luminosity. On the other hand, the X-ray luminosity increases with redshift. Considering that fair samples show no evolution, or negative luminosity evolution, we conclude that the BO sample is not formed from the same class of objects observed at di†erent look-back times. This is in conÑict with the usual interpretation of the Butcher-Oemler as an evolutionary (or redshift dependent) e†ect, based on the assumption that we are comparing the same class of objects at di†erent redshifts. Other trends present in the BO sample reÑect selection criteria rather than di†erences in look-back time, as independently conÐrmed by the fact that trends lose strength when we enlarge the sample with an X-rayÈselected sample of clusters. The variety of optical sizes and shapes of the clusters in the Butcher-Oemler sample and the Malmquist-like bias are the reasons for these selection e†ects that mimic the trends usually interpreted as changes due to evolu- tion.

  • Mid-Infrared Images of Stars and Dust in Irregular Galaxies
    Mid-Infrared Images of Stars and Dust in Irregular Galaxies1 Deidre A. Hunter2, Bruce G. Elmegreen3, and Emily Martin2,4 ABSTRACT We present mid-infrared to optical properties of 22 representative irregular galaxies: 18 Im, 3 BCDs, and one Sm. The mid-IR is based on images from the Spitzer Space Telescope archives. The 3.6 and 4.5 µm bands and the UBVJHK images are used to examine disk morphology and the integrated and azimuthally averaged magnitudes and colors of stars. The non-stellar contribution to the 4.5 µm images is used to trace hot dust. The 5.8 and 8.0 µm images reveal emission from hot dust and PAHs, and both may contribute to these passbands, although we refer to the non-stellar emission as PAH emission. We compare the 8.0 µm images to Hα. Im galaxies have no hidden bars, and those with double- exponential optical light profiles have the same at mid-IR. Most galaxies have similar optical and mid-IR scale lengths. Four galaxies have super star clusters that are not visible at optical bands. Galaxies with higher area-normalized star formation rates have more dust and PAH emission relative to starlight. Hot dust and PAH emission is found mostly in high surface brightness H ii regions, implying that massive stars are the primary source of heating. Galaxies with intense, wide-spread star formation have more extended PAH emission. The ratio of PAH to Hα emission is not constant on small scales. PAHs are associated with shells and giant filaments, so they are not destroyed during shell formation.

  • Counting Gamma Rays in the Directions of Galaxy Clusters

Churazov1,2 1 Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Karl-Schwarzschild-Strasse 1, 85741 Garching, Germany e-mail: [email protected] 2 Space Research Institute (IKI), Profsouznaya 84/32, 117997 Moscow, Russia Received 6 August 2013 / Accepted 19 May 2014 ABSTRACT Emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and from neutral pion decay are the two most natural mechanisms that could establish a galaxy cluster as a source of gamma rays in the GeV regime. We revisit this problem by using 52.5 months of Fermi-LAT data above 10 GeV and stacking 55 clusters from the HIFLUCGS sample of the X-ray brightest clusters. The choice of >10 GeV photons is optimal from the point of view of angular resolution, while the sample selection optimizes the chances of detecting signatures of neutral pion decay, arising from hadronic interactions of relativistic protons with an intracluster medium, which scale with the X-ray flux. In the stacked data we detected a signal for the central 0.25 deg circle at the level of 4.3σ. Evidence for a spatial extent of the signal is marginal. A subsample of cool-core clusters has a higher count rate of 1.9 ± 0.3 per cluster compared to the subsample of non-cool core clusters at 1.3 ± 0.2. Several independent arguments suggest that the contribution of AGNs to the observed signal is substantial, if not dominant.

  • Physical Properties of the X-Ray Gas As a Dynamical Diagnosis for Galaxy

Received 2018 December 17; in original form 2018 November 29. ABSTRACT We analysed XMM-Newton EPIC data for 53 galaxy clusters. Through 2D spec- tral maps, we provide the most detailed and extended view of the spatial distribution of temperature (kT), pressure (P), entropy (S) and metallicity (Z) of galaxy clusters to date with the aim of correlating the dynamical state of the system to six cool-core diagnoses from the literature. With the objective of building 2D maps and resolving structures in kT, P, S and Z, we divide the data in small regions from which spectra can be extracted. Our analysis shows that when clusters are spherically symmetric the cool-cores (CC) are preserved, the systems are relaxed with little signs of perturbation, and most of the CC criteria agree. The disturbed clusters are elongated, show clear signs of interaction in the 2D maps, and most do not have a cool-core.

Abstract. The fastest pulsar and the slowest nova; the oldest galaxies and the youngest stars; the weirdest life forms and the commonest dwarfs; the highest energy particles and the lowest energy photons. These were some of the extremes of Astrophysics 2006. We attempt also to bring you updates on things of which there is currently only one (habitable planets, the Sun, and the universe) and others of which there are always many, like meteors and molecules, black holes and binaries.
