It’s inherently pleasurable to trace so much of what we think and do today to their roots in ancient Greece and Rome, to make sense of their world and our own world through their world and of both worlds through their interrelationships with each other. That is, I believe, what is most special about the study of antiquity: we find, if we look closely, so many firsts in western culture: the first epic and lyric poems, the first plays, the first theaters, the first histories, even the first cinema (huh?). And through the literature of ancient Greece and Rome we encounter the first expression of certain ideas like community, democracy, and imperialism and of certain emotions like courage, curiosity, and love. If tracing things back to their roots, their origins in the past, excites you, you are in the right place, because that is what I am primarily interested in: getting back to the roots. There is more.

  • Nomenclature in the Outer Solar System 43
    Gladman et al.: Nomenclature in the Outer Solar System 43 Nomenclature in the Outer Solar System Brett Gladman University of British Columbia Brian G. Marsden Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Christa VanLaerhoven University of British Columbia We define a nomenclature for the dynamical classification of objects in the outer solar sys- tem, mostly targeted at the Kuiper belt. We classify all 584 reasonable-quality orbits, as of May 2006. Our nomenclature uses moderate (10 m.y.) numerical integrations to help classify the current dynamical state of Kuiper belt objects as resonant or nonresonant, with the latter class then being subdivided according to stability and orbital parameters. The classification scheme has shown that a large fraction of objects in the “scattered disk” are actually resonant, many in previously unrecognized high-order resonances. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.2.

  • Der Anstachelnde, Intuitionsfolgende Kentaur Asbolus
    Der anstachelnde, intuitionsfolgende Kentaur Asbolus von Werner Held (2016) Normalerweise kaum beachtete Himmelskörper geben ihre Bedeutung vor allem zu bestimmten Zeiten preis, wenn sie im besonderen Fokus der Zeitqualität stehen. Dies ist bei Asbolus derzeit im Besonderen der Fall, da er gerade die Massenmediengrade der 3 Neptun-Pluto-Konjunktionen 02.08.1891 / 05.11.1891 / 26.04.1892 (auf 8 Grad 37 / 8 Grad 18 / 7 Grad 41 Zwilling) – wo auch beim Internethoroskop vom 06.08.1991, 16:56 MEZ/S, Genf) im Quadrat dazu wichtige Jungfrau-Planeten stehen - überlaufen hat, was sichtbar zusätzlich zum Uranus-Pluto-Quadrat folgenschwere aufgeheizte massenmediale Stimmungen nach sich zieht. Daher erscheint es höchst aufschlußreich Asbolus ins breitere Bewußtsein zu bringen, denn seine Wirkung – deutlich ablesbar an seinem Entdeckungshoroskop - ist herausstechend. Astronomische Eigenschaften Asbolus mit der Asteroidennummer Nr. 8405 ist ein Kentaur und wurde am 5. April 1995 um 9:26 UT von James V. Scotti und Robert Jedicke vom Spacewatch-Projekt am Observatorium von Kitt Peak, Arizona entdeckt. Seine Bahn erreicht Jupiter nicht ganz von außen, kreuzt Saturn und Uranus und erreicht Neptun nicht ganz von innen. Die stark elliptische Bahn (hohe Exzentrik von 0,62) ist um 17,6 Grad geneigt. Er dreht sich in relativ schnellen 8,9 Stunden um sich selbst. Der Planetoid besitzt eine Umlaufzeit von knapp 76 Jahren in einer Entfernung von 6,835 AE (Perihel) und 29,028 AE (Aphel) um die Sonne. Der Asteroid, der wie die anderen Kentauren vermutlich Kern eines nicht mehr aktiven Kometen ist, hat eine sehr dunkle kohlenstoffhaltige Oberfläche (mit einem 2000 entdeckten großen hell scheinenden Eis-Krater) und einen Durchmesser von nur 66 km (+/- 4 km), was seine mitunter sehr große Bedeutung nicht hinreichend erahnen läßt.

  • Divine Riddles: a Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014
    Divine Riddles: A Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014 E. Edward Garvin, Editor What follows is a collection of excerpts from Greek literary sources in translation. The intent is to give students an overview of Greek mythology as expressed by the Greeks themselves. But any such collection is inherently flawed: the process of selection and abridgement produces a falsehood because both the narrative and meta-narrative are destroyed when the continuity of the composition is interrupted. Nevertheless, this seems the most expedient way to expose students to a wide range of primary source information. I have tried to keep my voice out of it as much as possible and will intervene as editor (in this Times New Roman font) only to give background or exegesis to the text. All of the texts in Goudy Old Style are excerpts from Greek or Latin texts (primary sources) that have been translated into English. Ancient Texts In the field of Classics, we refer to texts by Author, name of the book, book number, chapter number and line number.1 Every text, regardless of language, uses the same numbering system. Homer’s Iliad, for example, is divided into 24 books and the lines in each book are numbered. Hesiod’s Theogony is much shorter so no book divisions are necessary but the lines are numbered. Below is an example from Homer’s Iliad, Book One, showing the English translation on the left and the Greek original on the right. When citing this text we might say that Achilles is first mentioned by Homer in Iliad 1.7 (i.7 is also acceptable).

  • Physical Properties of Kuiper Belt and Centaur Objects: Constraints from the Spitzer Space Telescope
    Stansberry et al.: Physical Properties 161 Physical Properties of Kuiper Belt and Centaur Objects: Constraints from the Spitzer Space Telescope John Stansberry University of Arizona Will Grundy Lowell Observatory Mike Brown California Institute of Technology Dale Cruikshank NASA Ames Research Center John Spencer Southwest Research Institute David Trilling University of Arizona Jean-Luc Margot Cornell University Detecting heat from minor planets in the outer solar system is challenging, yet it is the most efficient means for constraining the albedos and sizes of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) and their progeny, the Centaur objects. These physical parameters are critical, e.g., for interpreting spec- troscopic data, deriving densities from the masses of binary systems, and predicting occultation tracks. Here we summarize Spitzer Space Telescope observations of 47 KBOs and Centaurs at wavelengths near 24 and 70 µm. We interpret the measurements using a variation of the stan- dard thermal model (STM) to derive the physical properties (albedo and diameter) of the targets. We also summarize the results of other efforts to measure the albedos and sizes of KBOs and Centaurs. The three or four largest KBOs appear to constitute a distinct class in terms of their albedos. From our Spitzer results, we find that the geometric albedo of KBOs and Centaurs is correlated with perihelion distance (darker objects having smaller perihelia), and that the albe- dos of KBOs (but not Centaurs) are correlated with size (larger KBOs having higher albedos). We also find hints that albedo may be correlated with visible color (for Centaurs). Interest- ingly, if the color correlation is real, redder Centaurs appear to have higher albedos.

M. Keck Observatory, which is jointly operated by the Cali- fornia Institute of Technology and the University of California. –2– ABSTRACT We have measured the mid-infrared thermal continua from two Centaurs, inactive (8405) Asbolus and active 95P=(2060) Chiron, and have constrained their geometric albedos, p, and effective radii, R, with the Standard Thermal Model for slow rotators. These are the first such measurements of Asbolus; we find R = 33 km 2 km and p = 0.12 0.03. This albedo is higher than all ± ± of those confidently known for active cometary nuclei. The thermal inertia is comparable to or lower than those of main belt asteroids, the Moon, and Chiron; lower than those of the icy Galilean satellites; and much lower than those of near- Earth asteroids. For Chiron, we find R = 74 km 4 km and p = 0.17 0.02. ± ± While this albedo is consistent with the established value, previous radiometry by others implied a larger radius. This effect may be partially due to a varying infrared dust coma but all datasets have too low signal to be sure. Four Centaur albedos (out of about 30 objects) are now known. They show a diversity greater than that of the active comets, to which they are evolutionarily linked.

  • Colors of Centaurs 105
    Tegler et al.: Colors of Centaurs 105 Colors of Centaurs Stephen C. Tegler Northern Arizona University James M. Bauer Jet Propulsion Laboratory William Romanishin University of Oklahoma Nuno Peixinho Grupo de Astrofisica da Universidade de Coimbra Minor planets on outer planet-crossing orbits, called Centaur objects, are important mem- bers of the solar system in that they dynamically link Kuiper belt objects to Jupiter-family comets. In addition, perhaps 6% of near-Earth objects have histories as Centaur objects. The total mass of Centaurs (10–4 M ) is significant, about one-tenth of the mass of the asteroid belt. Centaur objects exhibit a physical property not seen among any other objects in the solar system, their B–R colors divide into two distinct populations: a gray and a red population. Application of the dip test to B–R colors in the literature indicates there is a 99.5% probability that Centaurs exhibit a bimodal color distribution. Although there are hints that gray and red Centaurs exhibit different orbital elements, application of the Wilcoxon rank sum test finds no statistically significant difference between the orbital elements of the two color groups. On the other hand, gray and red Centaurs exhibit a statistically significant difference in albedo, with the gray Centaurs having a lower median albedo than the red Centaurs. Further observational and dynamical work is necessary to determine whether the two color populations are the result of (1) evolutionary processes such as radiation-reddening, collisions, and sublimation or (2) a pri- mordial, temperature-induced, composition gradient. 1. INTRODUCTION dynamical classes (e.g., Plutinos, classical objects, scattered disk objects) that are the sources of Centaurs are unknown.

  • Asbolus, the Seer
    ASBOLUS, THE SEER © by Juan Antonio Revilla, Mem ber of the Centaur Research Project San José, Costa Rica, October 4, 1999 Astrologically, I think the Centaurs have the quality of being "outside of tim e", or in other words, m ore universal --like Neptune and Pluto--, encom passing basic spiritual categories, such as "light and darkness", "life and death", "sin and salvation", "pain and forgiveness", etc. These are all exem plified in the "passion, death, and resurrection" of Christ. This is Neptune/Pluto sym bolism , and the centaurs, in m y present understanding of them , bring this sym bolism to our daily lives, like dards piercing our heart, both in joy as in pain. Neptune and Pluto are riddles, big question m arks, like life and death are. They are transpersonal forces that wash us away, as if knowing nothing about our basic needs and hum an fragility. This is where Christ appears, standing before us, saying "com e, you are m y friend". Christ becam e hum an, and through this he becam e an answer, not an intellectual or philosphical, m etaphysical, and theological proposition, but a hum an "Yes, com e, m y friend". This is what Saint Peter represents, standing in the m iddle, holding "the keys", like a door. Probably m ost of you would accept that this is represented by Pluto and Neptune in m ore traditional astrology... so m aybe what we m ay have with the centaurs is the "hum anization" of this sym bolism : they are indicators of our m ore "norm al" deaths and resurrections.
