University of Cape Town Abstract Galaxy clusters can be sites of considerable dynamic activity due to intra-cluster and inter-cluster interactions. These interactions include cluster-cluster mergers which are accompanied by large release of energy observed via thermal 44 X-ray emission (LX ∼ 10 ergs/s). The work presented here focuses on clusters that exhibit extended (∼ 1 Mpc) diffuse radio sources (low surface brightness ∼ 1−0:1 µJy.arcsec−2 at 1.4 GHz) called radio relics and radio halos.

  • 1. Introduction
    THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL SUPPLEMENT SERIES, 122:109È150, 1999 May ( 1999. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Printed in U.S.A. GALAXY STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS: STAR FORMATION RATE AND EVOLUTION WITH REDSHIFT M. TAKAMIYA1,2 Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637; and Gemini 8 m Telescopes Project, 670 North Aohoku Place, Hilo, HI 96720 Received 1998 August 4; accepted 1998 December 21 ABSTRACT The evolution of the structure of galaxies as a function of redshift is investigated using two param- eters: the metric radius of the galaxy(Rg) and the power at high spatial frequencies in the disk of the galaxy (s). A direct comparison is made between nearby (z D 0) and distant(0.2 [ z [ 1) galaxies by following a Ðxed range in rest frame wavelengths. The data of the nearby galaxies comprise 136 broad- band images at D4500A observed with the 0.9 m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory (23 galaxies) and selected from the catalog of digital images of Frei et al. (113 galaxies). The high-redshift sample comprises 94 galaxies selected from the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) observations with the Hubble Space Telescope using the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in four broad bands that range between D3000 and D9000A (Williams et al.). The radius is measured from the intensity proÐle of the galaxy using the formulation of Petrosian, and it is argued to be a metric radius that should not depend very strongly on the angular resolution and limiting surface brightness level of the imaging data. It is found that the metric radii of nearby and distant galaxies are comparable to each other.

Received 2005 May 26; in original form 2004 August 24 ABSTRACT We present Fabry–Perot observations obtained in the frame of the GHASP survey (Gassendi HAlpha survey of SPirals). We have derived the Hα map, the velocity field and the rotation curve for a new set of 44 galaxies. The data presented in this paper are combined with the data published in the three previous papers providing a total number of 85 of the 96 galaxies observed up to now. This sample of kinematical data has been divided into two groups: isolated (ISO) and softly interacting (SOFT) galaxies. In this paper, the extension of the Hα discs, the shape of the rotation curves, the kinematical asymmetry and the Tully–Fisher relation have been investigated for both ISO and SOFT galaxies. The Hα extension is roughly proportional to R25 for ISO as well as for SOFT galaxies.

  • THE POLARIZATION of RADIO GALAXIES -Its Structure at Low Frequencies
    STELLINGEN behorende bij het proefschrift THE POLARIZATION OF RADIO GALAXIES -its structure at low frequencies- 1. De structuur van de polarisatieverdelingen in uitgebreide extragalactische radiobronnen toont aan dat de veelgemaakte aanname van cilinder symmetrie voor de radiocomponenten onvolledig is (dit proefschrift). 2. Voor multispectrale vergelijkingen van radiokaarten van uitgebreide extragalactische stelsels ware het gewenst dat de Westerbork Synthese Radio Telescoop wordt uitgebreid met ontvangers bij een frequentie ergens tussen 610 MHz en 1400 MHz. 3. Het verloop van de spectrale index in zogenaamde edge-brightened double radio sources is slechts afhankelijk van de spectrale indices van de hot spots (dit proefschrift). 4. In de radiosterrenkunde blijft de theorie te ver achter bij de vele goede waarnemingen. 5. Om een goede astronoom te zijn moet men geloven dat het te bestuderen object de sleutel tot het heelal levert. 6. Bemande ruimtevaart moet waar mogelijk vermeden worden. 7. Sporters moeten zelf kunnen beslissen of zij een politiek omstreden evenement boycotten of niet. 8. Gelijktijdige pauze op alle Nederlandse astronomische instituten verhoogt de doelmatigheid. 9. De verwijzing private communication in wetenschappelijke literatuur is onacceptabel. 10. Het niet respecteren van Oost-Europese sportprestaties miskent het fenomeen topsport. 11.

Rice5 Received 1986 December 1 ; accepted 1987 February 13 ABSTRACT A complete sample of 324 extragalactic objects with 60 /mi flux densities greater than 5.4 Jy has been select- ed from the IRAS catalogs. Only one of these objects can be classified morphologically as a Seyfert nucleus; the others are all galaxies. The median distance of the galaxies in the sample is ~ 30 Mpc, and the median 10 luminosity vLv(60 /mi) is ~2 x 10 L0. This infrared selected sample is much more “infrared active” than optically selected galaxy samples. 8 12 The range in far-infrared luminosities of the galaxies in the sample is 10 LQ-2 x 10 L©. The far-infrared luminosities of the sample galaxies appear to be independent of the optical luminosities, suggesting a separate luminosity component. As previously found, a correlation exists between 60 /¿m/100 /¿m flux density ratio and far-infrared luminosity. The mass of interstellar dust required to produce the far-infrared radiation corre- 8 10 sponds to a mass of gas of 10 -10 M0 for normal gas to dust ratios. This is comparable to the mass of the interstellar medium in most galaxies.

  • A. L. Observing Programs Object Duplications
    A. L. OBSERVING PROGRAMS OBJECT DUPLICATIONS Compiled by Bill Warren Note: This report is limited to the following A. L. observing programs: Arp Peculiar Galaxies; Binocular Messier; Caldwell; Deep Sky Binocular; Galaxy Groups & Clusters; Globular Cluster; Herschel 400; Herschel II; Lunar; Messier; Open Cluster; Planetary Nebula; Universe Sampler; and Urban. It does not include the other A. L. observing programs, none of which contain duplicated objects. Like the A. L. itself, I’m using constellation names, not genitives (e.g., Orion, not Orionis) with double stars as an aid for beginners who might be referencing this. -Bill Warren Considerable duplication exists among the various A.L. observing programs. In fact, no less than 228 objects (8 lunar, 14 double stars and 206 deep-sky) appear in more than one program. For example, M42 is on the lists of the Messier, Binocular Messier, Universe Sampler and Urban Program. Duplication is important because, with certain exceptions noted below, if you observe an object once you can use that same observation in other A. L. programs in which that object appears. Of the 110 Messiers, 102 of them are also on the Binocular Messier list (18x50 version). To qualify for a Binocular Messier pin, you need only to find any 70 of them. Of course, they are duplicates only when you observe them in binocs; otherwise, they must be observed separately. Among its 100 targets, the Urban Program contains 41 Messiers, 14 Double Stars and 27 other deep-sky objects that appear on other lists. However, they are duplicates only if they are observed under light-polluted conditions; otherwise, they must be observed separately.

  • CONSTELLATION URSA MINOR, the LITTLE BEAR Ursa Minor
    CONSTELLATION URSA MINOR, THE LITTLE BEAR Ursa Minor (Latin: "Smaller She-Bear", to contrast with Ursa Major), also known as the Little Bear, is a constellation in the northern sky. Like the Great Bear, the tail of the Little Bear may also be seen as the handle of a ladle, hence the North American name, Little Dipper. It has seven main stars with four in its bowl, like its partner the Big Dipper. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Ursa Minor has traditionally been important for navigation, particularly by mariners, because of Polaris (at the end of the tail) being the North Star. Alpha Ursae Minoris, better known as Polaris, is the brightest star in the constellation, is a yellow-white supergiant and the brightest Cepheid variable star in the night sky, ranging from an apparent magnitude of 1.97 to 2.00. Beta Ursae Minoris, also known as Kochab, is an aging star that has swollen and cooled to become an orange giant with an apparent magnitude of 2.08, only slightly fainter than Polaris. Gamma Ursae Minoris, magnitude 3 and Kochab have been called the "guardians of the pole star". Planets have been detected orbiting four of the stars, including Kochab. The constellation also contains an isolated neutron star—Calvera—and H1504+65, the hottest white dwarf yet discovered, with a surface temperature of 200,000 K. HISTORY AND MYTHOLOGY In the Babylonian star catalogues, Ursa Minor was known as the Wagon of Heaven, Damkianna.
