The other parts in the series are: Southern Planetaries Southern Galaxies Two Southern Galaxy Groups These observing notes were made in early July while my family was staying at the Magellan Observatory (astronomical farmstead) for eight nights. The observatory is in the southern tablelands of New South Wales between Goulburn and Canberra (roughly 3.5 hrs from Sydney) and is hosted by Zane Hammond and his wife Fiona. Viewing the showpiece southern globulars was high on my observing priorities for Australia. Because the center of the Milky Way wheels overhead from -35° latitude, the globular system is much better placed and several of the best globulars in the sky which are completely inaccessible from the north are well placed. In the August issue of S&T, Les Dalrymple (who I observed with one evening), ranked M13 no better than 8th among the best globulars visible from Australia. I'd still jack up its ranking a couple of notches, but it's just one of the weak runnerups to 47 Tucana and Omega Centauri viewed over 75° up in the sky and behind NGC 6752, 6397 and M22.

J. Davidge 1 Canadian Gemini Office, Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics, National Research Council of Canada, 5071 W. Saanich Road, Victoria, B. C. Canada V8X 4M6 email:[email protected] ABSTRACT Images recorded through J; H; K; 2:2µm continuum, and CO filters have been obtained of a sample of metal-poor ([Fe/H] 1:3) globular clusters ≤− in the inner spheroid of the Galaxy. The shape and color of the upper giant branch on the (K; J K) color-magnitude diagram (CMD), combined with − the K brightness of the giant branch tip, are used to estimate the metallicity, reddening, and distance of each cluster. CO indices are used to identify bulge stars, which will bias metallicity and distance estimates if not culled from the data. The distances and reddenings derived from these data are consistent with published values, although there are exceptions. The reddening-corrected distance modulus of the Galactic Center, based on the Carney et al. (1992, ApJ, 386, 663) HB brightness calibration, is estimated to be 14:9 0:1. The mean ± upper giant branch CO index shows cluster-to-cluster scatter that (1) is larger than expected from the uncertainties in the photometric calibration, and (2) is consistent with a dispersion in CNO abundances comparable to that measured among halo stars. The luminosity functions (LFs) of upper giant branch stars in the program clusters tend to be steeper than those in the halo clusters NGC 288, NGC 362, and NGC 7089.

For an instance, I shall take the phenomenon which presents itself in many clusters: It is that of a number of lucid spots, of equal lustre, scattered over a circular space, in such a manner as to appear gradually more compressed towards the middle; and which compression, in the clusters to which I allude, is generally carried so far, as, by imperceptible degrees, to end in a luminous center, of a resolvable blaze of light."

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    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).

Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT Globular clusters (GCs) are the most ancient stellar systems in the Milky Way. There- fore, they play a key role in the understanding of the early chemical and dynamical evolution of our Galaxy. Around 40% of them are placed within ∼ 4 kpc from the Galactic center. In that region, all Galactic components overlap, making their disen- tanglement a challenging task. With Gaia DR2, we have accurate absolute proper mo- tions for the entire sample of known GCs that have been associated with the bulge/bar region. Combining them with distances, from RR Lyrae when available, as well as ra- dial velocities from spectroscopy, we can perform an orbital analysis of the sample, employing a steady Galactic potential with a bar. We applied a clustering algorithm to the orbital parameters apogalactic distance and the maximum vertical excursion from the plane, in order to identify the clusters that have high probability to belong to the bulge/bar, thick disk, inner halo, or outer halo component.

You may have noticed that this newsletter is showing up a little bit later than usual, and it’s for good reason: release of the newsletter will now happen after the monthly business meeting so that we can have a chance to keep everybody up to date on the latest information. Sometimes, this will mean the newsletter shows up a couple of days late. But, the upshot is that you’ll now be able to see what we discussed at the recent business meeting and have time to digest it before our general meeting in case you want to give some feedback. Now that we’re on the new format, business meetings (and the oft neglected Light Pollution Committee Meeting), are going to start being open to all members of the club again by simply joining up in the respective chat rooms the Wednesday before the first Monday of the month—which I encourage people to do, especially if you have some ideas you want to see the club put into action.

Stellar models and the methods for the age determinations of globular clusters are still in need of improvement. Aims. We attempt to obtain a more objective method of age determination based on cluster diagrams, avoiding the introduction of biases due to the preference of one single age indicator. Methods. We compute new stellar evolutionary tracks and derive the dependence of age indicating points along the tracks and isochrone – such as the turn-off or bump location – as a function of age and metallicity. The same critical points are identified in the colour-magnitude diagrams of globular clusters from a homogeneous database. Several age indicators are then fitted simultaneously, and the overall best-fitting isochrone is selected to determine the cluster age. We also determine the goodness-of-fit for different sets of indicators to estimate the confidence level of our results. Results. We find that our isochrones provide no acceptable fit for all age indicators. In particular, the location of the bump and the brightness of the tip of the red giant branch are problematic. On the other hand, the turn-off region is very well reproduced, and restricting the method to indicators depending on it results in trustworthy ages. Using an alternative set of isochrones improves the situation, but neither leads to an acceptable global fit.

Michael Hanke1, Camilla Juul Hansen2; 3, Andreas Koch1, and Eva K. Grebel1 1 Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, Zentrum für Astronomie der Universität Heidelberg, Mönchhofstr. 12-14, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany e-mail: [email protected] 2 Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Königstuhl 17, D-69117 Heidelberg, Germany 3 Dark Cosmology Centre, The Niels Bohr Institute, Juliane Maries Vej 30, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark September 7, 2018 ABSTRACT The rapidly increasing number of stellar spectra obtained by existing and future large-scale spectroscopic surveys feeds a demand for fast and efficient tools for the spectroscopic determination of fundamental stellar parameters. Such tools should not only comprise customized solutions for one particular survey or instrument, but, in order to enable cross-survey comparability, they should also be capable of dealing with spectra from a variety of spectrographs, resolutions, and wavelength coverages. To meet these ambitious specifications, we developed ATHOS (A Tool for HOmogenizing Stellar parameters), a fundamentally new analysis tool that adopts easy-to-use, computationally inexpensive analytical relations tying flux ratios (FRs) of designated wavelength regions in optical spectra to the stellar parameters effective temperature (Teff ), iron abundance ([Fe/H]), and surface gravity (log g). Our Teff estimator is based on FRs from nine pairs of wavelength ranges around the Balmer lines Hβ and Hα, while for [Fe/H] and log g we provide 31 and 11 FRs, respectively, which are spread between ∼ 4800 Å and ∼ 6500 Å; a region covered by most optical surveys.
