In autumn 1994, two groups of astronomers announced that they had discovered Cepheid variable stars in a distant cluster of galaxies. ... As the term suggests, variable stars change in brightness over time. ... Variable stars are an ideal way to get high-school students doing real science, with real data, from the real sky. ... a sky chart to find the stars . ... Students can use the nearby stars to estimate the magnitude of Delta. ... Locate the star Delta in Cepheus and estimate its brightness . ...

... During the past year, the parallel group of AIPS++ has been actively incorporating parallel processing into the most computationally intensive aspects of AIPS++. We report here the status of the AIPS++ parallelization effort and plans for future development. ... The goal of the AIPS++ parallelization project is to provide an easy to use, high performance processing system that allows astronomers to processes large datasets. ... Currently the parallel system shows good scaling up to 16 processors. ...

... The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is a conspicuous object in the night sky with a prominent place in ancient mythology . ... The stars in the Pleiades are thought to have formed together around 100 million years ago, making them 1/50th the age of our sun, and they lie some 130 parsecs (425 light years ) away. ...

... LMC Project Outline . NGC 1818 Initial Results . ... The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is uniquely suitable for the study of massive star clusters at all stages of evolution. By combining HST observations of these clusters with N-body models we hope to understand the origin and evolution of rich star clusters in our own Galaxy, in the LMC, and beyond. ... We aim to combine our HST observations with N-body models to understand the formation and evolution of globular clusters. ...

. XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . movecalc (movecalc-1.5) [xmmsas_20060628_1801-7.0.0] . Meta Index / Home Page It is anticipated that more functionality shall be added to this package in the future. The proposed task movecalc is an important part in the analysis of data from moving objects but can only address spatial aspects. Another related task might be regionunmove to convert a spatial X_MOV/Y_MOV region selection into X/Y space. XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2006-06-28
