Next: The stage and Up: The ESO Red Sky Previous: Artefacts . Fig. 3 shows the distribution of stars. The most striking feature is the rapid steepening of the density gradient towards the Milky Way region at the right and left hand edges of the total field, apparent from the dramatic change in colour in this false colour presentation. Noticable changes in star density across even short distances are indicated by colour changes within individual plates. ... Fig. ...

This animation shows a galaxy cluster with two mass concentrations (the pink shading indicates the projected mass density) lensing a background field of faint blue galaxies. ... Inside the Einstein ring radius one has radial arcs, and right in the center of the cluster there are demagnified images. The highest magnifications occur at the Einstein ring radius, giving the large tangential arcs. ... Abell 2218 and CL2244-02 are clusters with tangential arcs. ... Tutorial : Part 1 | Part 2 | ...

Next: Gravitational Wave Background from Previous: Galactic Gravitational Wave Background . ... It is intuitively clear that at frequencies above the critical ones for our Galaxy, one will detect rare bright jerks produced by coalescing white dwarfs   (at a rate of 1 per 100 year) and NS (at a rate of 1 per - year) in our Galaxy, against a background of the extragalactic stochastic GW. ... Firstly we consider GWB from close individual galaxies, and then will discuss overall extragalactic GWB. ...

Where did Edwin Hubble get his famous tuning fork from? Every astronomer studying galaxies uses Hubble types Sa, Sb, Sc; does anyone know the actual source of the Hubble classification bins ? ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
