The open circles correspond to the old halo, filled circles to the young halo (large filled circles correspond to clusters with (B-R)/(B+V+R)>0.32 ), and filled triangles to the corona. discussion in the text | privious figure | next figure .

... Scaling relations of galaxies: . ... 2007) . ... This research is now being extended to other clusters such as Hydra and Centaurus, by Ingo Misgeld . ... 2007 , Misgeld et al. 2008 and 2009 ) support a picture where the scaling relations of dwarf galaxies are shaped more by internal than external agents, given that colour-magnitude and magnitude-surface brightness relations agree quite well between the low-density Local Group environment and dense clusters like Fornax and Hydra. Misgeld et al. ...

... Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are located in external galaxies, their X-ray luminosities (10 39 - 10 41 erg/s) are thousand times greater than those of brightest black holes in the Galaxy. ULXs may be supercritical accretion disks around black holes of stellar masses (~10 Solar masses) like that in SS433, or they may be a hypothetical intermediate-mass black holes (hundreds - thousands Solar masses) with standard accretion disks. ... 2) The ULX progenitors were ejected from the star clusters. ...

Next: Cosmological Molecular Clouds Up: HST and the Previous: Cepheids in NGC . ... Recent calibrations of stellar surface brightness derived by modern observational interferometry show that the Cepheid PLC relations turn out to be much less affected by abundance effects than PL ones. Extragalactic Cepheid distances revisited by a calibrated PLC (V, V-Ic) relation indicate some significant systematic shifts affecting current PL determinations achieved by ground-based and HST photometry. ...

The Cepheid P-L relation metallicity dependence, Hubble's Constant and Type Ia Supernovae. ... Univ. of Durham, U.K. Using both new UBVK data on the Galactic Open Clusters which contain Cepheids and a new analysis of the Distance Scale HST Key Project Cepheid data in external galaxies we argue that the Cepheid P-L relation has a strong metallicity dependence in both its zeropoint and its dispersion. ...

Next: Estimating the angle Up: Wavelength Calibration Previous: General Description . The wavelength calibration involves a physical equation, the echelle relation and regression analysis to achieve estimates of the dispersion relation. Provided that the echelle dispersion is performed with a grating, any echelle spectrum can be calibrated usually with four lines used as pre-identifications and a catalog of laboratory wavelengths associated to the calibration lamp. ...

Open clusters (sometimes misleadingly called "galactic clusters") are groups of stars ranging in size from a few dozen stars up to tens of thousands. ... The youngest is about 1 or 2 million years old, while the oldest is about 6 or 7 billion years, making it just older than our own solar system. ...
