  • ASTRONOMY in CANADA 51 Spectrum. Precise Chemical
    ASTRONOMY IN CANADA 51 spectrum. Precise chemical analysis must take account of the differences of temperature and pressure in the atmospheres of different stars. The outer layers of the stars may appear to differ widely, but this is because of differences in their physical state. It is found that the majority of stars are of closely similar chemical composition. Studies of this nature depend on knowledge of the behaviour of matter in laboratories on earth. On the other hand, the stars themselves are a unique kind of laboratory where matter exists, and can be studied, under conditions that cannot be reproduced on earth. Thus some branches of astronomy, physics and chemistry complement each other. Another important part of the Observatory's work is the study of close double stars. These are systems of two stars held together by their gravitational attraction. Under the influence of this attraction they revolve around their centre of gravity, completing a revolution in a very short time—usually a few days. The two stars are too close to each other to be seen separately with any telescope but they can be studied separately with the spectrograph. These objects are important because their motions are determined by the well-known law of gravitation, and can be made to yield much information about the component stars of each system. In favourable cases, the masses, sizes, densities, tempera­ tures and luminosities of the two stars can be determined. Many of these stellar properties can be derived only from the study of such systems. In addition to their research, the astronomers try to give a more direct service to the public.

That’s Wild! by Jack Newton Victoria Centre On March 29, I photographed two galaxies in Canes Venatici in my continuing search for supernovas, but cloud moved in and terminated my evening’s observing. I decided not to process the film immediately as clear weather was forecast on the way. I also wanted to get a shot of the Eskimo Nebula at ambient temperature. On April 19, I added five more photographs to the film and sent it off for processing. I got it back on the morning of April 21, and noticed a red star near the nucleus of one of the galaxies worthy of further investigation.
