We present the coadded, calibrated spectra and atlases with line identifications. During total eclipse, emission from high ionization states (e.g., Fe iii and Cr iii) shows asymmetric profiles redshifted from the systemic velocity, while emission from lower ionization states (e.g., Fe ii and O i) appears more symmetric and is centered closer to the systemic velocity. Absorption from neutral and singly ionized elements is detected during chromospheric eclipse. Late in chromospheric eclipse, absorption from the K star wind is detected at a terminal velocity of ∼80 km s−1. These atlases will be useful for interpreting the far-UV spectra of other ζ Aur systems, as the observed FUSE spectra of 32 Cyg, KQ Pup, and VV Cep during chromospheric eclipse resemble that of 31 Cyg.

Most of these versions exist in Marvel's main shared universeknown as the Marvel Universe. In order to retain its trademark, Marvel has published a Captain Marvel title at least once every few years since, leading to a number of ongoing serieslimited seriesand one-shots featuring a range of characters using the Captain Marvel alias. Mar-Vell eventually wearies of his superiors' malicious intent and allies himself with Earth, and the Kree Empire brands him a traitor. From then on, Mar-Vell fights to protect Earth Captain Marvel: Death of Captain Marvel all threats. He was later revamped by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane. Having been exiled to the Negative Zone by the Supreme Intelligencethe only way Mar-Vell can temporarily escape is to exchange atoms with Rick Jones by means of special wristbands called Nega-Bands. The process of the young man being replaced in a flash by the older Captain Marvel: Death of Captain Marvel was a nod to the original Fawcett Captain Marvel, which had young Billy Batson says the magic word "Shazam" to transform into the hero. With the title's sales still flagging, Marvel allowed Jim Starlin to conceptually revamp the character, [6] although his appearance was little changed.

Called “Cool Stars, Stellar Systems, and the Sun,” the meeting empha- sized the solar stellar connection and focused discussion on “several topics … in which the similarity is manifest: the structures of chromospheres and coronae, stellar activity, and the phenomena of mass loss,” according to the preface of the resulting, “Special Report of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.” We could easily have chosen the same topics for this meeting. Over the summer of 1980, the group met again in Bonas, France and then back in Cambridge in 1981. Nearly 40 years on, I am comfortable saying these workshops have evolved to be the premier conference series for cool star research. Cool Stars has been held largely biennially, alternating between North America and Europe. Over that time, the field of stellar astro- physics has been upended several times, first by results from Hubble, then ROSAT, then Keck and other large aperture ground-based adaptive optics telescopes.

    5. Cosmic Distance Ladder Ii: Standard Candles

    5. COSMIC DISTANCE LADDER II: STANDARD CANDLES EQUIPMENT Computer with internet connection GOALS In this lab, you will learn: 1. How to use RR Lyrae variable stars to measures distances to objects within the Milky Way galaxy. 2. How to use Cepheid variable stars to measure distances to nearby galaxies. 3. How to use Type Ia supernovae to measure distances to faraway galaxies. 1 BACKGROUND A. MAGNITUDES Astronomers use apparent magnitudes , which are often referred to simply as magnitudes, to measure brightness: The more negative the magnitude, the brighter the object. The more positive the magnitude, the fainter the object. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to measure, or photometer , uncalibrated magnitudes: http://skynet.unc.edu/ASTR101L/videos/photometry/ 2 In Afterglow, go to “File”, “Open Image(s)”, “Sample Images”, “Astro 101 Lab”, “Lab 5 – Standard Candles”, “CD-47” and open the image “CD-47 8676”. Measure the uncalibrated magnitude of star A: uncalibrated magnitude of star A: ____________________ Uncalibrated magnitudes are always off by a constant and this constant varies from image to image, depending on observing conditions among other things. To calibrate an uncalibrated magnitude, one must first measure this constant, which we do by photometering a reference star of known magnitude: uncalibrated magnitude of reference star: ____________________ 3 The known, true magnitude of the reference star is 12.01. Calculate the correction constant: correction constant = true magnitude of reference star – uncalibrated magnitude of reference star correction constant: ____________________ Finally, calibrate the uncalibrated magnitude of star A by adding the correction constant to it: calibrated magnitude = uncalibrated magnitude + correction constant calibrated magnitude of star A: ____________________ The true magnitude of star A is 13.74.
  • New Globular Cluster Age Estimates and Constraints on the Cosmic Equation of State and the Matter Density of the Universe

    New Globular Cluster Age Estimates and Constraints on the Cosmic Equation of State and the Matter Density of the Universe

    1 New Globular Cluster Age Estimates and Constraints on the Cosmic Equation of State and The Matter Density of the Universe. Lawrence M. Krauss* & Brian Chaboyer *Departments of Physics and Astronomy, Case Western Reserve University, 10900 Euclid Ave., Cleveland OH USA 44106-7079; Department of Physics and Astronomy, Dartmouth College, 6127 Wilder Laboratory, Hanover, NH. USA New estimates of globular cluster distances, combined with revised ranges for input parameters in stellar evolution codes and recent estimates of the earliest redshift of cluster formation allow us to derive a new 95% confidence level lower limit on the age of the Universe of 11 Gyr. This is now definitively inconsistent with the expansion age for a flat Universe for the currently allowed range of the Hubble constant unless the cosmic equation of state is dominated by a component that violates the strong energy condition. This solidifies the case for a dark energy-dominated universe, complementing supernova data and direct measurements of the geometry and matter density in the Universe. The best-fit age is consistent with a cosmological constant-dominated (w=pressure/energy density = -1) universe. For the Hubble Key project best fit value of the Hubble Ω Constant our age limits yields the constraints w < -0.4 and Ωmatter < 0.38 at the 68 Ω % confidence level, and w < -0.26 and Ωmatter < 0.58 at the 95 % confidence level. Age determinations of globular clusters provided one of the earliest motivations for considering the possible existence of a cosmological constant. By comparing a lower limit on the age of the oldest globular clusters in our galaxy--- estimated in the 1980 s to be 15-20 Gyr---with the expansion age, determined by measurements of the Hubble constant, an apparent inconsistency arose: globular clusters appeared to be older than 2 the Universe unless one allowed for a possible Cosmological Constant.

Spassova2 and V. Golev1 1 Department of Astronomy, Faculty of Physics, St. Kliment Okhridski University of Sofia, 5 James Bourchier street, BG-1126 Sofia, Bulgaria 2 Institute of Astronomy, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 72 Tsarigradsko chauss´ee, BG-1784 Sofia, Bulgaria Received March 15; accepted October 4, 1995 Abstract. — The projected ellipticities and orientations of 173 globular clusters in the Andromeda galaxy have been determined by using isodensity contours and 2D Gaussian fitting techniques. A number of B plates taken with the 2 m Ritchey-Chretien-coud´e reflector of the Bulgarian National Astronomical Observatory were digitized and processed for each cluster. The derived ellipticities and orientations are presented in the form of a catalogue?. The projected ellipticities of M 31 GCs lie between 0.03 0.24 with mean valueε ¯=0.086 0.038. It may be concluded that the most globular clusters in the Andromeda galaxy÷ are quite spherical. The derived± orientations do not show a preference with respect to the center of M 31. Some correlations of the ellipticity with other clusters parameters are discussed. The ellipticities determined in this work are compared with those in other Local Group galaxies. Key words: globular clusters: general — galaxies: individual: M 31 — galaxies: star clusters — catalogs 1. Introduction Bergh & Morbey (1984), and Kontizas et al. (1989), have shown that the globulars in LMC are markedly more ellip- Representing the oldest of all stellar populations, the glo- tical than those in our Galaxy.

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.
