Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...

ATMoB "Open Cluster Observing Award " Guidelines Purpose: To promote observing among the membership of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston through participation in the Open Clusters Observing Awards program. Introduction: This awards program is oriented towards visually observing open clusters above magnitude 9.9. ... It turns out that a very unprejudiced and convenient method to dermine the limiting magnitude is to count the number of visible stars in certain areas on the sky. ...

Observation of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich E ect toward CL0016+16 at 43 GHz M. Tsuboi et al. Ibaraki University, Japan We performed a mapping observation of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich e ect toward a distant cluster of galaxies, CL0016+16, at 43 GHz using a newly developed 6-beam SIS receiver installed in the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. The temperature decrement of the cosmic microwave background radiation was measured to be

You Can Make Stellar Images Brighter . Articles | ... A few months ago I wrote an article titled "You Can’t Make Them Brighter". So why am I now writing that you can make them brighter. ... The image of a focused star is actually a small disk called the Airy disk, named after the 19 th century scientist Sir George Airy. ... For a given aperture, a smaller Airy disk means that the light is focused to a smaller disk and is therefore brighter. ... www.astronomy.net . About Astronomy Net | ...
