In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

... Osservatorio Astronomico, Bologna, Italy . ... Dipartimento di Astronomia, Universit? di Bologna, Bologna, Italy . Stellar photometry of simulated HST uncorrected and corrected images of a crowded star cluster has been carried out before and after deconvolution (with RMG, R-L, MEM, etc.) to optimize the reduction procedures and compare the degree of completeness and photometric accuracy actually achievable in the various cases. ... Surface Brightness Profiles . ...

Once students get the hang of it, they can find and measure the brightness of Delta Cephei in a few minutes. ... of Delta Cephei . ... Oct. ... The following table lists the measurements of Delta Cephei made by one amateur astronomer in autumn 1990. ... 4.0 . ... This activity is a simplified version of one that appeared in Hands-On Astrophysics, a series of activities prepared by the American Association of Variable Star Observers with support from the National Science Foundation. << previous page | ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

In the PROJECT we are using the following peculiar . features of RATAN-600 . ... Brightness temperature sensitivity being equal to the antenna temperature sensitivity .. ... Receiver system .. ... Using aperture averaging effect. dual- beam and dual (multi-) frequency filtration, we demonstrated full filtration of the atmosphere noise down to the receiver noise at all scales of acoustics peaks ( Fig.1 , Fig 2 ). ... We select this frequency as the central one in our project. ... Antenna surface . ...

The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Temperature Work in groups of 2-4. ... Due 1999 April 15 In this laboratory exercise, you will use the radio telescope on the roof of Science B to measure the intensity of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). ... The output of the telescope when pointing at the sky will then be 2 Tsys = Trec + Tsky : The temperature of the sky can in principle arise from two sources, radiation from the atmosphere and radiation from outer space (the CMBR). ...

... We present the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue (RASS-BSC, revision 1RXS) derived from the all-sky survey performed during the first half year of the ROSAT mission in 1990/91. 18,811 sources are catalogued, with a limiting ROSAT PSPC countrate of 0.05 cts/s in the 0.1-2.4 keV energy band. ... Broad band images are available for a subset of the flagged sources. ... Retrieving the full catalogue The ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue can be retrieved via your WWW browser: 1. ...
