  • Messier Objects
    Messier Objects From the Stocker Astroscience Center at Florida International University Miami Florida The Messier Project Main contributors: • Daniel Puentes • Steven Revesz • Bobby Martinez Charles Messier • Gabriel Salazar • Riya Gandhi • Dr. James Webb – Director, Stocker Astroscience center • All images reduced and combined using MIRA image processing software. (Mirametrics) What are Messier Objects? • Messier objects are a list of astronomical sources compiled by Charles Messier, an 18th and early 19th century astronomer. He created a list of distracting objects to avoid while comet hunting. This list now contains over 110 objects, many of which are the most famous astronomical bodies known. The list contains planetary nebula, star clusters, and other galaxies. - Bobby Martinez The Telescope The telescope used to take these images is an Astronomical Consultants and Equipment (ACE) 24- inch (0.61-meter) Ritchey-Chretien reflecting telescope. It has a focal ratio of F6.2 and is supported on a structure independent of the building that houses it. It is equipped with a Finger Lakes 1kx1k CCD camera cooled to -30o C at the Cassegrain focus. It is equipped with dual filter wheels, the first containing UBVRI scientific filters and the second RGBL color filters. Messier 1 Found 6,500 light years away in the constellation of Taurus, the Crab Nebula (known as M1) is a supernova remnant. The original supernova that formed the crab nebula was observed by Chinese, Japanese and Arab astronomers in 1054 AD as an incredibly bright “Guest star” which was visible for over twenty-two months. The supernova that produced the Crab Nebula is thought to have been an evolved star roughly ten times more massive than the Sun.

  • Investigating the Beehive Cluster with Gaia Blaise Whitesell — Astronomy Capstone 2019
    Investigating the Beehive Cluster with Gaia Blaise Whitesell — Astronomy Capstone 2019 In this problem set, we will explore the capabilities of the publicly available data from Gaia DR2, which can be found at http://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/ or queried directly from within Python. We will focus on a single target: the Beehive cluster (M44, also known as Praesepe or NGC 2632). This open cluster is located at a distance of roughly 200 pc in the constellation Cancer with coordinates (α; δ) = (130:1°; 19:67°). We will download Gaia data in the vicinity of the cluster, select only the stars belonging to the cluster, and then characterize the properties of those stars in the cluster. 1. Getting Data For our analysis we need these columns from the Gaia DR2 database gaiadr2.gaia_source: source_id A numeric identifier for the object ra Right ascension (degrees) dec Declination (degrees) parallax Parallax (mas) pmra Proper motion in right ascension (mas/yr) pmdec Proper motion in declination (mas/yr) phot_g_mean_mag Magnitude in Gaia G band (mags) bp_rp Gaia BP–RP color (mags) Select objects within 4 degrees of the cluster center. At the rough distance of the Beehive cluster, how many parsecs does that correspond to? We want to include objects at least that far in front and behind the cluster. Since we don’t know distances as precisely, we should expand the range by a factor of 3 or 4 to avoid missing cluster stars. What parallaxes (in mas) does this distance range correspond to? Use those parallax values as conditions to exclude objects far away from the cluster.

  • 2020 Observatory Schedule
    Astronomy Club of Akron 2020 Observatory Schedule 5031 Manchester Road, Akron, OH www.acaoh.org – The following events are open to the public. Please join us for stargazing and educational activities. Please arrive on time to avoid headlight distraction. – For notice of “impromptu star parties” not listed, send e-mail to [email protected] to request e-mail notification of unscheduled observing sessions. – Events will be cancelled if skies are cloudy. Always check website for star party status two hours before event. – This is an outdoor activity in an unheated environment. Nighttime temperatures drop rapidly, even during summer. A general rule of thumb is to dress for 15 degrees cooler than predicted nighttime low temperature. – Please respect those who set up their telescopes. Children should be supervised at all times. The observatory grounds are no place for toys or tomfoolery. – Please, No Smoking on observatory grounds. Smoke reacts with optical surfaces, damaging optical coatings. – Please, no use of cell phones or tablets in observatory (to preserve night vision). April 18 – 8:15pm July 18 – 9:00pm Venus is well placed for observing early, and then we’ll view Come out to view open cluster NGC6633, Wild Duck Ghost of Jupiter and the beautiful star cluster M37 through Cluster, Ring Nebula, M26 Star Cloud, and Swan Nebula the 16” observatory telescope and view Beehive Cluster using an OIII filter. through the 100mm wide field telescope. July 25 – 9:00pm April 25 – 8:30pm We’ll be observing a 5-day old Moon. This is a great Special Event: Messier Marathon – stay all night to observe opportunity to see crater central peaks lit up by the grazing all 110 Messier objects with ACA members.

Deep photographs reveal that NGC constellation Fornax, adjacent to the distinctive triangle 1316 contains many dust clouds and is surrounded by a formed by 6th-magnitude Chi-1 ( ␹ 1), Chi-2 ( ␹ 2), and complex envelope of faint material, several loops of Chi-3 ( ␹ 3) Fornacis, is an attractive cluster of galaxies which appear to engulf a smaller galaxy, NGC 1317, 6 ′ known as Abell Galaxy Cluster – Southern Supplement to the north. Astronomers consider this to be a case of (AGCS) 373.

He did so by studying and cataloging from the scene. 2,712 galaxy clusters that had been captured on the In my 8-inch reflector, NGC 1316 appears as a then-new National Geographic Society–Palomar bright, slightly oval disk with a distinctly brighter Observatory Sky Survey taken with the 48-inch Samuel nucleus.

Twelve V (F555W) and four I (F814W) epochs of observation were obtained. The two photometry packages, ALLFRAME and DoPHOT, were separately used to obtain profile-fitting photometry of all the stars in the HST field.

A CO SURVEY OF THE DARK NEBULAE IN PERSEUS, TAURUS, AND AURIGA 198 H. Ungerechts and P. Thaddeus Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University Received 1986 February 20; accepted 1986 September 4 ABSTRACT A region of 750 square degrees including the well-known dark nebulae in Perseus, Taurus, and Auriga was surveyed in the 115 GHz, J = l-0 line of CO at an angular resolution of 0?5. The spectral resolution of the survey is 250 kHz, or 0.65 km s-1, and the rms noise per spectrometer channel is 0.14 K. Emission was detected from nearly 50% of the observed positions; most positions with emission are in the Taurus-Auriga dark nebulae, a cloud associated with IC 348 and NGC 1333, and a cloud associated with the California nebula (NGC 1499) and NGC 1579, which overlaps the northern Taurus-Auriga nebulae but is separated from them in velocity. Other objects seen in this survey are several small clouds at Galactic latitude —25° to —35° southwest of the Taurus clouds, and the L1558 and L1551 clouds in the south. The mass of each of the IC 348 and NGC 1499 4 4 clouds is about 5X10 M0, and that of the Taurus-Auriga clouds about 3.5 X10 M0; the total mass of all 5 clouds surveyed is about 2x10 Af0. On a large scale, the rather quiescent Taurus clouds are close to virial equilibrium, but the IC 348 and NGC 1499 clouds are more dynamically active.

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.
