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.

    found that the S/N ratio of the MMT measurement was nearly the same as in the case of the full aperture. Example 5: Reconstruction of Actuallmages by Speckle Holography Speckle interferometry yields the high resolution autocor­ relation of the object. It is also possible to reconstruct actual images from speckle interferograms. For that purpose one has to record speckle interferograms of the object one wants to investigate, and simultaneously • speckle interferograms of an unresolvable star close to the • object. The speckle interferograms of the unresolvable star (point source) are used as the deconvolution keys. It is necessary that the object and the point source are in the same "isoplanatic patch". The isoplanatic patch is the field in which the atmospheric point spread function is nearly space-invariant. We found under good seeing conditions the size of the isoplanatic patch to be as large as 22 srcseconds, which was at the limit of our instrument (article in press). The technique of using as the deconvolution keys speckle interferog rams of a neighbourhood point source is called speckle holography. Speckle holography was first proposed by Liu and Lohmann (Opt. Commun. 8,372) and by Bates and co-worker (Astron. Astrophys. 22, 319). Recently, we have for the first time applied speckle holography to astronomical objects (Appl. Opt. 17, 2660). Figure 6 shows an application of speckle holography. In this experiment we reconstructed a diffraction-limited image of Zeta Cancri A-B by using as the deconvolution keys the speckle interferograms produced by Zeta CNC C, which is 6 arcseconds apart from A-B.

  • 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).

Tiepolo 11, I-34131 Trieste, Italy Submitted: October 2001 ABSTRACT We report on UBV RI CCD photometry of two overlapping fields in the region of the intermediate-age open cluster NGC 2158 down to V = 21. By analyzing Colour-Colour (CC) and Colour-Magnitude Diagrams (CMD) we infer a reddening EB−V = 0.55 ± 0.10, a distance of 3600 ± 400 pc, and an age of about 2 Gyr. Synthetic CMDs performed with these parameters (but fixing EB−V = 0.60 and [Fe/H] = −0.60), and including binaries, field contamination, and photometric errors, allow a good description of the observed CMD. The elongated shape of the clump of red giants in the CMD is interpreted as resulting from a differential reddening of about ∆EB−V =0.06 across the cluster, in the direction perpendicular to the Galactic plane. NGC 2158 turns out to be an intermediate-age open cluster with an anomalously low metal content. The combination of these parameters together with the analysis of the cluster orbit, suggests that the cluster belongs to the old thin disk population. Key words: Open clusters and associations: general – open clusters and associations: individual: NGC 2158 - Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram 1 INTRODUCTION the present paper.

    Double/Multiple Stars Culpeper Astronomy Club June 18, 2018 Overview • Introductions • Some Telescope Basics • Double Stars • Constellations • Observing Session Aperture Magnification • Magnification for a specific telescope changes with the eyepiece used • Calculated by dividing the focal length (FL) of the telescope (usually marked on the optical tube) by the focal length (fl) of the eyepiece • Mag = FL / fl • For example: • My Stellarvue SV110ED with a 770mm focal length using a 10mm eyepiece produces 77x magnification (770/10=77x) • My 102mm Unitron with a 1500mm focal length using a 10mm eyepiece produces 150x magnification (1500/10=150x) • 30 inch Obsession, f4.5, about 3500mm focal length using 31mm eyepiece produces 112x (3500/31=112x) • Higher the magnification smaller the field of view (FOV) Resolving Power • Resolving power is the ability of an optical instrument to produce separate images of closely placed objects…a double star • In 1867, William Dawes determined the practical limit on resolving power for a telescope, known as the Dawes limit…the closest that two stars could be together and still be seen as two stars • The Dawes Limit is 4.56 seconds of arc, divided by the telescope aperture in inches; converted to metric (approx): PR = 120/DO) • For example, my SV110ED with 110mm aperture (120/110) has a resolving power of 1.09 arc seconds • My 102mm Unitron has a resolving power nearly the same at (120/102) 1.18 arc seconds • The 30 inch Obsession, theoretically, yields 0.16 arc seconds Binary/Multiple Stars – The Motivation
