  • Planetary Nebula
    How Far Away Is It – Planetary Nebula Planetary Nebula {Abstract – In this segment of our “How far away is it” video book, we cover Planetary Nebula. We begin by introducing astrophotography and how it adds to what we can see through a telescope with our eyes. We use NGC 2818 to illustrate how this works. This continues into the modern use of Charge-Coupled Devices and how they work. We use the planetary nebula MyCn18 to illustrate the use of color filters to identify elements in the nebula. We then show a clip illustrating the end-of-life explosion that creates objects like the Helix Planetary Nebula (NGC 7293), and show how it would fill the space between our Sun and our nearest star, Proxima Centauri. Then, we use the Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) to illustrate expansion parallax. As a fundamental component for calculating expansion parallax, we also illustrate the Doppler Effect and how we measure it via spectral line red and blue shifts. We continue with a tour of the most beautiful planetary nebula photographed by Hubble. These include: the Dumbbell Nebula, NGC 5189, Ring Nebula, Retina Nebula, Red Rectangle, Ant Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, , Kohoutek 4- 55, Eskimo Nebula, NGC 6751, SuWt 2, Starfish, NGC 5315, NGC 5307, Little Ghost Nebula, NGC 2440, IC 4593, Red Spider, Boomerang, Twin Jet, Calabash, Gomez’s Hamburger and others culminating with a dive into the Necklace Nebula. We conclude by noting that this will be the most likely end for our Sun, but not for billions of years to come, and we update the Cosmic Distance Ladder with the new ‘Expansion Parallax’ rung developed in this segment.} Introduction [Music @00:00 Bizet, Georges: Entracte to Act III from “Carman”; Orchestre National de France / Seiji Ozawa, 1984; from the album “The most relaxing classical album in the world…ever!”] Planetary Nebulae represent some of the most beautiful objects in the Milky Way.

  • CONSTELLATION URSA MAJOR, the GREAT BEAR Ursa Major (Also Known As the Great Bear) Is a Constellation in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere
    CONSTELLATION URSA MAJOR, THE GREAT BEAR Ursa Major (also known as the Great Bear) is a constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy (second century AD), and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It can be visible throughout the year in most of the northern hemisphere. Its name stands as a reference to and in direct contrast with Ursa Minor, "the smaller bear", with which it is frequently associated in mythology and amateur astronomy. The constellation's most recognizable asterism, a group of seven relatively bright stars commonly known as the "Big Dipper", "the Wagon" or "the Plough", both mimics the shape of the lesser bear (the "Little Dipper") and is commonly used as a navigational pointer towards the current northern pole star, Polaris in Ursa Minor. The Big Dipper and the constellation as a whole have mythological significance in numerous world cultures, usually as a symbol of the north. Being the third largest constellation in the night sky, with 1279.66 square degrees of surface area Ursa Major is home to many deep-sky objects including seven Messier objects, four other NGC objects and I Zwicky 18, the youngest known galaxy in the visible universe. The official constellation boundaries, set by Eugène Delporte in 1930, form a 28-sided irregular polygon. It is bordered by eight other constellations: Draco to the north and northeast, Boötes to the east, Canes Venatici to the east and southeast, Coma Berenices to the southeast, Leo and Leo Minor to the south, Lynx to the southwest and Camelopardalis to the northwest.

Erni 1,P.Richter1, C. Ledoux2, and P. Petitjean3,4 1 Argelander-Institut für Astronomie, Universität Bonn, Auf dem Hügel 71, 53121 Bonn, Germany e-mail: [email protected] 2 European Southern Observatory, Alonso de Córdova 3107, Casilla 19001, Vitacura, Santiago, Chile 3 Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris, CNRS, 98bis Boulevard Arago, 75014 Paris, France 4 LERMA, Observatoire de Paris-Meudon, 61 avenue de l’Observatoire, 75014 Paris, France Received 9 October 2005 / Accepted 27 January 2006 ABSTRACT To constrain the conditions for very early nucleosynthesis in the Universe we compare the chemical enrichment pattern of an extremely metal-poor damped Lyman α (DLA) absorber with predictions from recent explosive nucleosynthesis model calculations. For this, we have analyzed chemical abundances in the DLA system at zabs = 2.6183 toward the quasar Q0913+072 (zem = 2.785) using public UVES/VLT high spectral resolution data. The total neutral hydrogen column density in this absorber is log N(H i) = 20.36 ± 0.05. Accurate column densities are derived for C ii,Ni,Oi,Alii,Siii,andFeii. Upper limits are given for Fe iii and Ni ii. With [C/H] = −2.83 ± 0.05, [N/H] = −3.84 ± 0.11, and [O/H] = −2.47 ± 0.05, this system represents one of the most metal-poor DLA systems investigated so far. It offers the unique opportunity to measure accurate CNO abundances in a protogalactic structure at high redshift.

  • Chemical Evolution
    Part X The Evolution of Galaxies Chemical Evolution Overview of Chemical Evolution • After the Big Bang the Universe consisted of mainly hydrogen and helium. • The first generation of stars started the process of stellar nucleosynthesis, which continued with subsequent generations of stars, resulting in rising abundances of heavier elements. • This enrichment occurs while the stars are \normal" stars, but also in processes at the end of stellar lives (e.g. supernovae). • Some enriched material will be tied up in stellar remnants (neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs) and effectively lost to future star-formation. • Stars can disperse this \enriched" material via stellar winds and by supernova explosions. • The lifetimes of massive stars are very short compared to galactic timescales (i.e. a few Myr for the most massive stars). • The lifetimes of low mass stars are longer than the current age of the Universe { meaning that the heavy elements in these stars are effectively locked up as well. • Galaxy internal motions (i.e. rotation) and interactions (galactic cannibalism/ mergers etc) can further distribute this enriched material. • Galaxies may suffer outflows (for example, in starburst events) and also inflow of less chemically enriched material. • For galaxies with shallower potential wells { outflows can occur more easily • This process occurs in the context of galaxies. Galaxies are complex entities, with a range of sizes. The chemical enrichment may be localised. • There exist metallicity gradients in galaxies (see Fig. 10.1). • Type I supernovae { explosion of a white dwarf in a binary system { SN ejecta rich in Fe. • Type II supernovae { explosion of massive star (> 10M ) { SN ejecta rich in O, Mg etc.

  • Sources for Icecube
    Group 3 – Wojtek, Sandy and Cheryl Neutrinos & Astrophysics question 25 Sources for IceCube A. Find a neutrino emitter Choose a TeV source from http://tevcat.uchicago.edu that could be a good neutrino emitter for the IceCube experiment at the South Pole – and say why. Choosing a source ● Supernova remnant, pulsar wind nebula, or gamma ray burst source ● Good sources of accelerated neutrinos ● High energy neutrinos (> 1TeV) ● Little atmospheric background at those energies ● High energy gamma → high energy neutrinos ● High flux (around 0.5 Crab or more) ● Or will be swamped by background ● In northern hemisphere (approx 0-60°N) ● Earth filters background, but core degrades signal Candidate 1: Crab Nebula ● Supernova remnant ● High flux - 1 Crab ● In northern hemisphere (dec = 22°) BUT... ● Lower energy neutrinos (700 GeV) Candidate 1: Crab Nebula ● Supernova remnant ● High flux - 1 Crab ● In northern hemisphere (dec = 22°) BUT... ● Lower energy (700 GeV) Candidate 2: Vela Jr ● Supernova remnant ● High flux - 1 Crab ● High energy (1TeV) BUT... ● In southern hemisphere (dec = 132°) Candidate 2: Vela Jr ● Supernova remnant ● High flux - 1 Crab ● High energy (1TeV) BUT... ● In southern hemisphere (dec = 132°) Candidate 3: Boomerang Nebula ● Supernova remnant / Pulsar Wind Nebula ● High flux - 0.44 Crabs ● High energy (35TeV) ● In northern hemisphere (dec = 61°) Candidate 3: Boomerang Nebula ● Supernova remnant / Pulsar Wind Nebula ● High flux - 0.44 Crabs ● High energy neutrinos (35TeV) ● In northern hemisphere (dec = 61°) The Boomerang –
