Lecture 15 Plan for Lecture Will complete derivation of Angular Diameter Distance and then go through a specific example-- Einstein de Sitter universe Then look at what it becomes in a ` flat ' universe (currently favoured) Then discuss velocities and the Hubble Law (actually derive this) And then specific examples of what the data on Luminosity distance seems to be saying about the dynamics of the universe Finally, a new topic -- horizons, in ... Also, k = 0 (for EdS) S () . ...

The Solar spots - are the dark formations on the Sun's disk. ... The greatest observed spot is 100 thousand kilomiters. The spots are the places of the magnetic fields' getting out to the solar atmosphere. ... That's why they look so dark . ... The Solar convection zone is the layer with the thickness of 150 - 200 thousand kilomiters, situated under the photosphere; the substance of this layer being in convectional movement transformes the energy from inside the Sun's to its surface. ...

... Actual stars are expected to be more complicated than these simulations. ... The spot may be entirely visible most of the time (one would observe a prolonged flux minimum low), and then part of it may disappear over the horizon briefly and then return (slow rise and then fall back to constant level). ... With the set of observations taken here, I have information available from several comparison stars and color information. ... The period found must be consistent with the data from any given night....

... Moon Phase below . ... ARTICLE: Why the moon always shows us the same face . ... Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ... Figure 1 (not to scale) shows how we can imagine the system Earth-Moon...

New England observer Lew Gramer, fresh back from his mid-November fish observing and meteor-catching expedition in South Florida, reports that December also promises to be a great month for celestial sky-sparks!" ... Other showers adding to the mix this month include several very minor showers, such as the Chi Orionids (3 Dec), Monocerotids (9 Dec) and Sigma Hydrids (12 Dec), which usually contribute no more than 2 or 3 meteors per hour during even post-midnight observing this month. ...

RTT150 . ... This search system is designed for generating the necessary information on series of pointings (observations of each source consist of sets of exposures with different filters and sometimes with different exposure times) for observed sources. Search results appear at the separate page as a table with the following data: . DATE - real (not evening!) observations date (in YYYY-MM-DD format); . ... Bin - minimal CCD binning mode (may vary during the observations); . ...

... As is known, the observed distribution of massive stars in the direction of the Galactic center looks very peculiar: the vast majority of all massive stars are concentrated towards the central 1 pc or so (Genzel et al. ... In order to compare the observed distribution of X-ray sources in the Galactic center with what would be expected from the population synthesis computations, we have considered two hypothetical scenarios for the location of the starburst. ...

. NEVER look directly at the sun without a proper solar filter! . We have lots of different equipment available for use. Here you see our 6" solar filters. Our club always recommends that you use a FULL APERTURE solar filter. In the picture you will notice a TYPE 2 filter for VISUAL use and a TYPE 3 filter for PHOTOGRAPHIC use. Here is an easy way to remember which type solar filter you need for VISUAL OBSERVING: You have 2 EYES so you need a TYPE 2 filter!! .

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...
