... Some optical observations of auroral forms have indicated anomalous enhancement of emission within a very limited altitude range of about 2 km (Oguti, 1975; Stenbaek-Nielsen and Hallinan, 1979; Stenbaek-Nielsen, 1980a, b), and have been called as enhanced aurora. ...

... In this activity, students will observe that the faintest stars which they can see in the sky are affected by many things: the adaptation of their eyes to the dark, the presence of clouds or haze, the time of year, and the presence of light pollution. General Information . ... After completing this activity, students should have a better understanding of the practical processes for dealing with the light pollution problem and with other environmental and societal issues. << previous page | ...

Last updated 5 November 2003 by JMD . Last link checked 9 October 2003 by JCB . Data from 191 observations of stars with the ARCES were analyzed to calculate exposure times to reach particular signal-to-noise values for bright standard stars. ... An exponential fit to the data shows pretty good agreement and allows for forecasting to fainter stars beyond the limit of the data set ( V ~ 12). The fit was used to calculate the exposure times in the table below: . ...

RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBERS Description of Data from SGD Explanation of Data Reports: Relative Sunspot Numbers -- The relative sunspot number is an index of the activity of the entire visible disk of the Sun. ... The provisional daily Zurich relative sunspot numbers, Rz, were based upon observations made at Zurich and its two branch stations in Arosa and Locarno and communicated by M. Waldmeier of the Swiss Federal Observatory. ... This indicates the uncertainty above and below the predicted number. ...

... As we have seen, evolutionary considerations based on our current understanding of massive binary systems lead to the conclusion that BH+PSR binaries must constitute a rather numerous subclass of all binary PSR ( 1 per 1000 isolated pulsars; Lipunov et al. , 1994b[ 124 ]). It seemed a priori that the binary radio pulsar PSR B0042-73   in the SMC (Kaspi et al., 1994[ 81 ]) could belong to one of these two classes. ... This means that such binary pulsars should be discovered in the near future. ...

We refined the fundamental parameters of the components, the orbital periods, and the conditions of photospheric heating of the secondary component by the ultraviolet radiation of the hot component. ... The observations of the star clusters associated with ultra-luminous x-ray sources (ULXs) in four galaxies on the 6-meter and VLT telescopes have shown that all the ULXs are located within 200pc of very young star clusters (younger than 5 million years). ...
