Shaya University of Maryland, Astronomy Department, College Park, MD 20743, USA ABSTRACT Cosmicflows-3 distances and inferred peculiar velocities of galaxies have permitted the reconstruction of the structure of over and under densities within the volume extending to 0:05c. This study focuses on the under dense regions, particularly the Local Void that lies largely in the zone of obscuration and consequently has received limited attention. Major over dense structures that bound the Local Void are the Perseus-Pisces and Norma-Pavo-Indus filaments sepa- rated by 8,500 km s−1. The void network of the universe is interconnected and void passages are found from the Local Void to the adjacent very large Hercules and Sculptor voids. Minor filaments course through voids. A particularly interesting example connects the Virgo and Perseus clusters, with several substantial galaxies found along the chain in the depths of the Local Void. The Local Void has a substantial dynamical effect, causing a deviant motion of the Local Group of 200 − 250 km s−1. -

In one myth, Orion boasted he would kill all the wild animals on the earth. But, the earth goddess Gaia, who was the protector of all animals, produced a gigantic scorpion, whose body was so heavily encased that Orion was unable to pierce through the armour, and was himself stung to death. His companion Artemis was greatly saddened and arranged for Orion to be immortalised among the stars. Scorpius, the scorpion, was placed on the opposite side of the sky so that Orion would never be hurt by it again. To this day, Orion is never seen in the sky at the same time as Scorpius.

This paper presents the results of a high resolution radio imaging survey of all known (96) low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) at D ≤ 19 Mpc. We first report new 2 cm (150 mas resolution using the VLA) and 6 cm (2 mas resolution using the VLBA) radio observations of the previously unobserved nuclei in our samples and then present results on the complete survey. We find that almost half of all LINERs and low-luminosity Seyferts have flat-spectrum radio cores when observed at 150 mas resolution. Higher (2 mas) resolution observations of a flux-limited subsample have provided a 100% (16 of 16) detection rate of pc-scale radio cores, with implied brightness temperatures ∼>108 K. The five LLAGNs with the highest core radio fluxes also have pc-scale “jets”. -

Open Clusters in Gaia
Sede Amministrativa: Università degli Studi di Padova Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia “G. Galilei” Corso di Dottorato di Ricerca in Astronomia Ciclo XXX OPEN CLUSTERS IN GAIA ERA Coordinatore: Ch.mo Prof. Giampaolo Piotto Supervisore: Dr.ssa Antonella Vallenari Dottorando: Francesco Pensabene i Abstract Context. Open clusters (OCs) are optimal tracers of the Milky Way disc. They are observed at every distance from the Galactic center and their ages cover the entire lifespan of the disc. The actual OC census contain more than 3000 objects, but suffers of incom- pleteness out of the solar neighborhood and of large inhomogeneity in the parameter deter- minations present in literature. Both these aspects will be improved by the on-going space mission Gaia . In the next years Gaia will produce the most precise three-dimensional map of the Milky Way by surveying other than 1 billion of stars. For those stars Gaia will provide extremely precise measure- ment of proper motions, parallaxes and brightness. Aims. In this framework we plan to take advantage of the first Gaia data release, while preparing for the coming ones, to: i) move the first steps towards building a homogeneous data base of OCs with the high quality Gaia astrometry and photometry; ii) build, improve and test tools for the analysis of large sample of OCs; iii) use the OCs to explore the prop- erties of the disc in the solar neighborhood. Methods and Data. Using ESO archive data, we analyze the photometry and derive physical parameters, comparing data with synthetic populations and luminosity functions, of three clusters namely NGC 2225, NGC 6134 and NGC 2243. -
A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short). -

SARGENT Palomar Observatory, California Institute of Technology, MS 105-24, Pasadena, CA 91125 To appear in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. ABSTRACT We present new central stellar velocity dispersion measurements for 428 galaxies in the Palomar spectroscopic survey of bright, northern galaxies. Of these, 142 have no previously published measurements, most being rela- −1 tively late-type systems with low velocity dispersions (∼<100kms ). We provide updates to a number of literature dispersions with large uncertainties. Our measurements are based on a direct pixel-fitting technique that can ac- commodate composite stellar populations by calculating an optimal linear combination of input stellar templates. The original Palomar survey data were taken under conditions that are not ideally suited for deriving stellar veloc- ity dispersions for galaxies with a wide range of Hubble types. We describe an effective strategy to circumvent this complication and demonstrate that we can still obtain reliable velocity dispersions for this sample of well-studied nearby galaxies.

Pomocí převzatých astrometrických dat byl proveden morfologický a dynamický rozbor hvězdokupy. Z naměřených spektroskopických dat byly určeny některé obecné parametry pro celou hvězdokupu. Za použití vlastní absolutní CCD fotometrie a výsledků z astro- metrické a spektroskopické studie byly nalezeny zbylé parametry hvězdokupy. Nalezené parametry byly porovnány s hodnotami z předchozích studií. Abstract This diploma thesis deals with complex study of the open cluster NGC 2281.
