... Using the uvby -photometry and proper motion data for about 5500 F stars within 80 pc from the Sun, we have studied velocity ellipsoid parameters and obtained the following results. 1) The sizw of all wllipsoid semiaxes increase systematically for groups of stars with the decrease of both temperature (at constant metallicity) and metallicity (at constant temperature). ... As a result, each of the three parameters - temperature, metallicity and velocity dispersion - is an age indicator. ...

Channel ops are one of the most powerful and simple tools available to you with the GIMP. ... Channel ops are operations that typically involve two images. Each channel operation compares and does some sort of manipulation based on the pixels in two images. ... Add takes two images, and adds the RGB or greyscale values of the pixels. ... If you have a completely black canvas, all the values are zero. ... This channel operation compares two images and results in the darkest values from each image. ...

... MATERIAL: astronomical data visualization software like ds9 , IRAF, and the two galaxy images in the V-band and I-band . ... You received images in the V and I-band of an unknown, partially resolved Milky Way dwarf satellite galaxy. Your task is to generate a color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of this stellar system, find out what kind of stellar population it is made of (old, young?) and estimate its distance from the sun using well-known features identified in the CMD. ...
