Therefore, I modified Kippenhahn’s code in two steps: First I replaced the hydrostatic equation with a Newtonian equation of motion. After the resulting New- tonian dynamical code was running, I replaced the New- tonian equations by the corresponding relativistic equa- tions. The numerical results showed that Fowler’s quasar model could not explain the quasars. Therefore, I retired the relativistic code and applied the Newtonian version to various problems of stellar physics, including star for- mation via the contraction and collapse of interstellar gas clouds. A few years earlier Richard Larson and others had demonstrated that the outcome of such computations was a ’protostar’, consisting of a hydrostatic core, which was accreting matter from an extended envelope.

    THE STAR FORMATION NEWSLETTER An electronic publication dedicated to early stellar evolution and molecular clouds No. 90 — 27 March 2000 Editor: Bo Reipurth ([email protected]) Abstracts of recently accepted papers The Formation and Fragmentation of Primordial Molecular Clouds Tom Abel1, Greg L. Bryan2 and Michael L. Norman3,4 1 Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, MA, 02138 Cambridge, USA 2 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MA, 02139 Cambridge, USA 3 LCA, NCSA, University of Illinois, 61801 Urbana/Champaign, USA 4 Astronomy Department, University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign, USA E-mail contact: [email protected] Many questions in physical cosmology regarding the thermal history of the intergalactic medium, chemical enrichment, reionization, etc. are thought to be intimately related to the nature and evolution of pregalactic structure. In particular the efficiency of primordial star formation and the primordial IMF are of special interest. We present results from high resolution three–dimensional adaptive mesh refinement simulations that follow the collapse of primordial molecular clouds and their subsequent fragmentation within a cosmologically representative volume. Comoving scales from 128 kpc down to 1 pc are followed accurately. Dark matter dynamics, hydrodynamics and all relevant chemical and radiative processes (cooling) are followed self-consistently for a cluster normalized CDM structure formation model. Primordial molecular clouds with ∼ 105 solar masses are assembled by mergers of multiple objects that have formed −4 hydrogen molecules in the gas phase with a fractional abundance of ∼< 10 . As the subclumps merge cooling lowers the temperature to ∼ 200 K in a “cold pocket” at the center of the halo. Within this cold pocket, a quasi–hydrostatically > 5 −3 contracting core with mass ∼ 200M and number densities ∼ 10 cm is found.

Daszynska-Daszkiewicz´ Astronomical Institute, Wrocław University, ul. Kopernika 11, 51-622 Wrocław, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Received 5 March 2004 / Accepted 22 November 2004 Abstract. We derive basic stellar parameters (angular diameters, effective temperatures, metallicities) and interstellar reddening for all β Cephei stars observed during the IUE satellite mission, including those belonging to three open clusters. The parameters are derived by means of an algorithmic procedure of fitting theoretical flux distributions to the low-resolution IUE spectra and ground-based spectrophotometric observations. Since the metallicity has a special importance for pulsating B-type stars, we focus our attention in particular on this parameter.

On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. Close to the horizon is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan with the handle stretching to your left. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The two right-hand stars are called the Pointers. Can you tell that the higher of the two, Dubhe is slightly yellowish compared to the lower, Merak? Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white- hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you upwards to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the left are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris.

  • The Antennae Galaxies Move Closer 9 May 2008
    The Antennae Galaxies move closer 9 May 2008 archetypal merging galaxy system and are used as a standard against which to validate theories about galaxy evolution. An international group of scientists led by Ivo Saviane from the European Southern Observatory has used Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 to observe individual stars spawned by the colossal cosmic collision in the Antennae Galaxies. They reached an interesting and surprising conclusion. By measuring the colours and brightnesses of red giant stars in the system, the scientists found that The Antennae Galaxies are among the closest known the Antennae Galaxies are much closer than merging galaxies. The two galaxies, also known as NGC previously thought: 45 million light-years instead of 4038 and NGC 4039, started to interact a few hundred the previous best estimate of 65 million light-years. million years ago, creating one of the most impressive sights in the night sky. They are considered by scientists as the archetypal merging galaxy system and are used The team targeted a region in the relatively as a standard with which to validate theories about quiescent outer regions in the southern tidal tail, galaxy evolution. The ground-based image (left) is taken away from the active central regions. This tail by Robert Gendler and shows the two merging galaxies consists of material thrown from the main galaxies and their impressive long tidal tails. The Hubble as they collided. The scientists needed to observe Advanced Camera for Surveys image (right) shows a regions with older red giant stars to derive an portion of the southern tidal tail.

  • October 2006
    OCTOBER 2 0 0 6 �������������� http://www.universetoday.com �������������� TAMMY PLOTNER WITH JEFF BARBOUR 283 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1 In 1897, the world’s largest refractor (40”) debuted at the University of Chica- go’s Yerkes Observatory. Also today in 1958, NASA was established by an act of Congress. More? In 1962, the 300-foot radio telescope of the National Ra- dio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) went live at Green Bank, West Virginia. It held place as the world’s second largest radio scope until it collapsed in 1988. Tonight let’s visit with an old lunar favorite. Easily seen in binoculars, the hexagonal walled plain of Albategnius ap- pears near the terminator about one-third the way north of the south limb. Look north of Albategnius for even larger and more ancient Hipparchus giving an almost “figure 8” view in binoculars. Between Hipparchus and Albategnius to the east are mid-sized craters Halley and Hind. Note the curious ALBATEGNIUS AND HIPPARCHUS ON THE relationship between impact crater Klein on Albategnius’ southwestern wall and TERMINATOR CREDIT: ROGER WARNER that of crater Horrocks on the northeastern wall of Hipparchus. Now let’s power up and “crater hop”... Just northwest of Hipparchus’ wall are the beginnings of the Sinus Medii area. Look for the deep imprint of Seeliger - named for a Dutch astronomer. Due north of Hipparchus is Rhaeticus, and here’s where things really get interesting. If the terminator has progressed far enough, you might spot tiny Blagg and Bruce to its west, the rough location of the Surveyor 4 and Surveyor 6 landing area.
