Session 9 - The Hubble Deep Field. ... The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) experiment is a unique project to explore at unprecedented depth and angular resolution the faintest and most distant galaxies. ... This allows study of broad-band spectral energy distribution, morphology and number count statistics for galaxies that span the largest, if not the whole, time interval of galaxy history. ... Here we present preliminary number counts, color-magnitude and color-color diagrams for the 4 HDF frames. ...

Numerical simulation of the evolution of NS shows (Lipunov and Prokhorov, 1987[ 115 ]) that the fraction of ejecting stars in massive systems with normal components may be as high as several tens of percent of the total number of binary systems (see Figure 27 ). ...

General Forum Message . Forums: . ... The Telescope's F/number . ... The f/number (focal ratio) of any telescope tells two things about the telescope and that is it's intended purpose and it's photographic performance. The brightness of a star depends on the telescope's aperture not the telescope's f/number. ... The f/number of any objective lens or a mirror of a telescope has nothing to do with the visual brightness of an image, the bigger the aperture the better. ... www.astronomy.net . ...

Procedure to be followed by DMD secretary for DFS Group documentation . Initial email comes from author requesting document number. ... An email is then sent by the DMD secretary to the Technical Archive (tecarch@eso.org) with the same information, to request the last 4 digits of the document number (the 'chronological number'). ... Some time will pass and then the author, using the DFS Group tool 'WebCheck', will post a web readable version of the document on the DFS Group website. ...

Next: Command Line Editing Up: Command Syntax Previous: Command Syntax . The last 15 commands entered on the terminal are kept in an internal buffer (the no. of commands saved can be changed via SET/BUFFER ). To recall (and execute) any of these commands, simply type the associated command number. This is the number ``xyz'' appearing in the prompt Midas xyz > when that command was entered. ... For example, if the last two commands in your command buffer are: . 22 READ/IMAGE supernova . ...

Two major reasons: the number of stars isn't really seven (it's many more), and they all have different brightnesses, so that you see more or fewer of them depending on viewing conditions. The brightness of stars is measured on the magnitude scale, where the most prominent stars in the sky are around 1st magnitude, and the faintest you can see with your eye are about 6th. ... I think this makes it quite likely that the list will be truncated at Taygeta, giving six visible stars. ...

We are now in the midst of the annual Perseid meteor shower. The shower continues through August till 24th, with a broad peak of activity expected after midnight on the night of 12/13th. This shower is one of the most reliable meteor displays of the year. During peak activity, up to 100 observable meteors per hour may enter the Earth's atmosphere. ...

Fragment A Impact This images comes from the 3.5-meter telescope at Calor Alto Spain. A methane blocking filter was used at a wavelength of around 2.3 microns in order to maximimize the contrast of the structure in the Jovian atmosphere. ... The initial impact of Fragment A produced a spot/plume that rivaled the brightness of Io for a few seconds and then later faded. ... La Silla Image Sequence This sequence will show the development of the plume from Fragment A as well. ...
