  • Spatial Distribution of Galactic Globular Clusters: Distance Uncertainties and Dynamical Effects

Porto Alegre 2017 Acknowledgements To my parents, who supported me and made this possible, in a time and place where being in a university was just a distant dream. To my dearest friends Elisabeth, Robert, Augusto, and Natália - who so many times helped me go from "I give up" to "I’ll try once more". To my cats Kira, Fen, and Demi - who lazily join me in bed at the end of the day, and make everything worthwhile. "But, first of all, it will be necessary to explain what is our idea of a cluster of stars, and by what means we have obtained it. 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." William Herschel, 1789 Abstract We provide a sample of 170 Galactic Globular Clusters (GCs) and analyse its spatial distribution properties.

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.

SARGENT Palomar Observatory, California Institute of Technology, MS 105-24, Pasadena, CA 91125 To appear in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. ABSTRACT We present new central stellar velocity dispersion measurements for 428 galaxies in the Palomar spectroscopic survey of bright, northern galaxies. Of these, 142 have no previously published measurements, most being rela- −1 tively late-type systems with low velocity dispersions (∼<100kms ). We provide updates to a number of literature dispersions with large uncertainties. Our measurements are based on a direct pixel-fitting technique that can ac- commodate composite stellar populations by calculating an optimal linear combination of input stellar templates. The original Palomar survey data were taken under conditions that are not ideally suited for deriving stellar veloc- ity dispersions for galaxies with a wide range of Hubble types. We describe an effective strategy to circumvent this complication and demonstrate that we can still obtain reliable velocity dispersions for this sample of well-studied nearby galaxies.

The amount of interstellar matter in a galaxy determines its evolution, star formation rate and the activity phenomena in the nucleus. We therefore aimed at obtaining a data base of the 12CO line and thermal dust emission within equal beamsizes for galaxies in a variety of activity stages. Methods. We have conducted a search for the 12CO (1–0) and (2–1) transitions and the continuum emission at 1300 µmtowardsthe centers of 88 galaxies using the IRAM 30 m telescope (MRT) and the Swedish ESO Submillimeter Telescope (SEST). The galaxies > are selected to be bright in the far infrared (S 100 µm ∼ 9 Jy) and optically fairly compact (D25 ≤ 180 ). We have applied optical spectroscopy and IRAS colours to group the galaxies of the entire sample according to their stage of activity into three sub-samples: normal, starburst and active galactic nuclei (AGN). The continuum emission has been corrected for line contamination and synchrotron contribution to retrieve the thermal dust emission.

The data are mainly taken from the standard work Biographischer Index der Astronomie (Dick, Brüggenthies 2005). Some information has been added by the author (this especially concerns living twentieth-century astronomers). Members of the families of Dreyer, Lord Rosse and other astronomers (as mentioned in the text) are not listed.

This is a collection of 38 257 RR Lyr stars detected over 182 square degrees monitored photometrically by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) in the most central regions of the Galactic bulge. The sample consists of 16 804 variables found and published by the OGLE collaboration in 2011 and 21 453 RR Lyr stars newly detected in the photometric databases of the fourth phase of the OGLE survey (OGLE-IV). 93% of the OGLE-IV variables were previously unknown. The total sample consists of 27 258 RRab, 10 825 RRc, and 174 RRd stars. We provide OGLE-IV I- and V-band light curves of the variables along with their basic parameters. About 300 RR Lyr stars in our collection are plausible members of 15 globular clusters.

  • Globular Cluster Club
    Globular Cluster Observing Club Raleigh Astronomy Club Version 1.2 22 June 2007 Introduction Welcome to the Globular Cluster Observing Club! This list is intended to give you an appreciation for the deep-sky objects known as globular clusters. There are 153 known Milky Way Globular Clusters of which the entire list can be found on the seds.org site listed below. To receive your Gold level we will only have you do sixty of them along with one challenge object from a list of three. Challenge objects being the extra-galactic globular Mayall II (G1) located in the Andromeda Galaxy, Palomar 4 in Ursa Major, and Omega Centauri a magnificent southern globular. The first two challenge your scope and viewing ability while Omega Centauri challenges your ability to plan for a southern view. A Silver level is also available and will be within the range of a 4 inch to 8 inch scope depending upon seeing conditions. Many of the objects are found in the Messier, Caldwell, or Herschel catalogs and can springboard you into those clubs. The list is meant for your viewing enrichment and edification of these types of clusters. It is also meant to enhance your viewing skills. You are encouraged to view the clusters with a critical eye toward the cluster’s size, visual magnitude, resolvability, concentration and colors. The Astronomical League’s Globular Clusters Club book “Guide to the Globular Cluster Observing Club” is an excellent resource for this endeavor. You will be asked to either sketch the cluster or give a short description of your visual impression, citing seeing conditions, time, date, cluster’s size, magnitude, resolvability, concentration, and any star colors.
