The Sky This Week The sky this week April 13 to April 19, 2020 By Joe Grida, Technical Informaon Officer, ASSA ([email protected]) elcome to the third edion of The Sky this Week. It is designed to keep you looking up during these rather uncertain mes. We can’t get together for Members’ Viewing Nights, so I thought I’d write this W to give you some ideas of observing targets that you can chase on any clear night this coming week. As I said in my recent Starwatch* column in The Adverser newspaper: “Even with the restricons in place, stargazing is something that you can do easily on your own. It helps to relieve stress and will keep your sense of perspecve. It’s prey hard to walk away from a night under the stars without a jusfiable sense of awe. And also without sensing a real, albeit tenuous, connecon with the cosmos at large”. * Published on the last Friday of each month Naked eye star walk - Goodbye Orion, hello Scorpius The crisp autumn evenings of April offer an ideal opportunity to explore the majesty of the southern sky. However, make sure you dress warmly, because aer a few short minutes in the night air, you’ll begin to feel the cold bite. Go find yourself a nice dark spot in the back-garden, now that the Moon is rising later each evening, and let your eyes become accustomed to the darkness. Noce how many more stars you can see, even aer a few minutes, as the pupils of your eyes expand to let as much light in as possible. Some of the brightest stars in the whole sky can be seen at this me of the year. As red Betelgeuse and blue Rigel set with Orion, the Hunter in the west, fiery red Antares rises in the east. For me, I don't think there are any other constellaons in the sky, that herald the coming of the seasons so well as these two do. Orion in the east, signals summer is around the corner, whilst Scorpius in the east, brings the chill winds of winter with it. Antares, is a star of gargantuan proporons. If we replaced our Sun with it, then all the planets from Mercury through to Jupiter would all find themselves engulfed within it! Just below the tail of Scorpius, you can find the star clusters designated M6 and M7. Take the trouble to observe these with binoculars. They make a beauful sight, with many bright stars sparkling like diamonds against a background of gold dust. Over to the north, the constellaon of Leo, the lion is quite prominent. Many different cultures have seen a lion in this paern of stars. But others have seen a sickle, which forms the lion's head and shoulders, and a small triangle, which forms its hindquarters. The brightest star in the sickle is Regulus; the heart of the lion. The brightest star in the triangle is Denebola, also known as Beta Leonis because it's Leo's second-brightest star. It's about half as bright as Regulus. Denebola is an abbreviated form of an older Arabic name, Al Dhanab al Asad, which means "the lion's tail." Its name derives from the fact that Denebola is the easternmost star in Leo; at the tail end of the constellaon. Over in the northeast another star shines. This is Arcturus, in the constellaon Bootes, the herdsman. It's an orange -giant star, and it's unusually old as naked-eye stars go: about 10 billion years — roughly twice the age of the Sun, Earth, and solar system. Arcturus may thus be the oldest object you've ever seen. Arcturus is the third-brightest star in Earth's night sky. It appears so bright for a couple of reasons. First, Arcturus really is a bright star; it produces more visible light than most stars. If you placed Arcturus side by side with our own star, the Sun, it would appear more than a hundred mes brighter. And second, Arcturus is fairly close to us, at a distance of just 37 light-years. This nearness has another effect on how we see Arcturus. It moves across the sky faster than almost any other star. All stars are in constant moon as they orbit the centre of our Milky Way galaxy. But they're so far away that their moon is impercepble on human mescales. Astronomers must use sensive instruments to measure this moon. Arcturus is moving toward the constellaon Virgo, which is higher in the sky above Arcturus, at about half a degree every millennium — a distance equal to the width of the full Moon. Arcturus will move out of Bootes and into Virgo in about 20,000 years. As we turn our aenon to the south-east part of the sky, we find the Southern Cross. Just above the Southern Cross, the Milky Way is at it’s brightest. It’s here that we find a large cloud of gas and dust, known as the Eta Carinae Nebula. More about Eta Carinae the star, and the nebula next week.

It rises at 10:07pm on April 13, but not unl 2:52am on April 19. Our lunar feature this week, Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms) reveals how extensive volcanism was in the Moon’s early history. • The broad dark plain of Procellarum is a vast basalt field laid down over several billion years of intermient erupons. • Aristarchus crater is even visible in Earthshine. 450 million years old, 40 kms wide, 3000m deep • Intense volcanic acvity pushed up the elevated Aristarchis Plateau and dusted it with metres-deep layer of volcanic ash. • Lava flows also washed through the snake-like rille of Schroter’s Valley arcing across the plateau. (160 kms long, 1000m deep) • The dimples of the Marius Hills are a collecon of several hundred volcanic domes and cinder cones. The domes and cones are fairly low, so are best seen around sunrise & sunset when shadows display their shallow relief. Best me to observe this area is on Saturday morning, 18 April when the low rays of sunset on the Moon create the great shadows and contrast that bring the features into great relief.

  • The Puzzling Nature of Dwarf-Sized Gas Poor Disk Galaxies
    Dissertation submitted to the Department of Physics Combined Faculties of the Astronomy Division Natural Sciences and Mathematics University of Oulu Ruperto-Carola-University Oulu, Finland Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences Put forward by Joachim Janz born in: Heidelberg, Germany Public defense: January 25, 2013 in Oulu, Finland THE PUZZLING NATURE OF DWARF-SIZED GAS POOR DISK GALAXIES Preliminary examiners: Pekka Heinämäki Helmut Jerjen Opponent: Laura Ferrarese Joachim Janz: The puzzling nature of dwarf-sized gas poor disk galaxies, c 2012 advisors: Dr. Eija Laurikainen Dr. Thorsten Lisker Prof. Heikki Salo Oulu, 2012 ABSTRACT Early-type dwarf galaxies were originally described as elliptical feature-less galax- ies. However, later disk signatures were revealed in some of them. In fact, it is still disputed whether they follow photometric scaling relations similar to giant elliptical galaxies or whether they are rather formed in transformations of late- type galaxies induced by the galaxy cluster environment. The early-type dwarf galaxies are the most abundant galaxy type in clusters, and their low-mass make them susceptible to processes that let galaxies evolve. Therefore, they are well- suited as probes of galaxy evolution. In this thesis we explore possible relationships and evolutionary links of early- type dwarfs to other galaxy types. We observed a sample of 121 galaxies and obtained deep near-infrared images. For analyzing the morphology of these galaxies, we apply two-dimensional multicomponent fitting to the data. This is done for the first time for a large sample of early-type dwarfs. A large fraction of the galaxies is shown to have complex multicomponent structures.

The observational material consists of CCD images of four 36 × 36 arcmin2 fields obtained with the MOSAIC II camera at the Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory. Our present work supersedes previous Antlia studies in the sense that the covered area is four times larger, the limiting magnitude is MB ∼−9.6 mag, and the surface photometry parameters of each galaxy are derived from Sersic´ model fits extrapolated to infinity. In a companion previous study we focused on the scaling relations obtained by means of surface photometry, and now we present the data, on which the previous paper is based, the parameters of the isophotal fits as well as an isophotal analysis.

Comparison is made with the independently calibrated Population II distance scale and found to be consistent at the 10% level. The combined use of ground-based facilities and the Hubble Space Telescope now allow for the application of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation out to distances in excess of 20 Mpc. Calibration of secondary distance indicators and the direct determination of distances to galaxies in the field as well as in the Virgo and Fornax clusters allows for multiple paths to the determination of the absolute rate of the expansion of the Universe parameterized by the Hubble constant.

Integrated (C − T1) colours, T1 magnitudes, and effective radii have been measured for 93 galaxies (i.e. the largest galaxies sample in the Washington system till now) from the FS90 Antlia Group catalogue. Membership of 37 objects can be confirmed through new radial velocities and data collected from the literature. The resulting colour– magnitude diagram shows that early-type FS90 galaxies that are spectroscopically confirmed Antlia members or that were considered as definite members by FS90, follow a well-defined σ ∼ .

Because HAWK-I can study galaxies stripped bare of the confusing effects of dust and glowing gas it is ideal for studying the vast numbers of stars that make up spiral arms. The six galaxies are part of a study of spiral structure led by Preben Grosbøl at ESO. These data were acquired to help understand the complex and subtle ways in which the stars in these systems form into such perfect spiral patterns. The first image shows NGC 5247, a spiral galaxy dominated by two huge arms, located 60-70 million light-years away.

Jedrzejewski Institute of Astronomy, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 OH A and Mount Wilson and Las Campanas Observatories, 813 Santa Barbara Street, Pasadena, CA 91101, USA Accepted 1987 January 29. Received 1987 January 26; in original form 1986 October 21 Summary. A programme of CCD surface photometry of elliptical galaxies is described. A sample of 49 nearby early-type galaxies has been observed in the B and R passbands, and the isophotes fitted by ellipses. The cos (Ad) component of the isophotes has also been measured to investigate the degree to which the isophotes may be boxy or contain an edge-on disc component. Comparison with other observers shows that the surface brightness profiles and geometrical profiles are accurate to a few per cent when sky subtraction and seeing effects are not important. A future paper will use these data to investigate some important aspects of elliptical galaxy structure and dynamics. 1 Background Our understanding of elliptical galaxies has experienced a profound change in the past few years. Prior to 1975, they were considered to be very simple objects, consisting of an ensemble of stars arranged in a shape that revealed the angular momentum of the system - the most rapidly rotating galaxies being the most flattened. The work of Tiller (1960, 1966) went almost unnoticed in this respect, as in the observation of ellipticity changes and isophote twisting more complex behaviour was indicated.
