Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ... CM diagram Young Cluster In this case we see the Main Sequence fully represented. The blue dots represent massive stars with short main sequence lifetimes. ... Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...

... The first part of the Astropark that most people see represents our own Solar System. The Sun and the nine main planets are laid out here, so that you can compare their distances and sizes. ... The Sun - the closest star to Earth, represented by a giant archway at the same scale as the planets beyond. ... They move in orbits around the Sun, also marked out in the Astropark. Moons - in orbit around nearly seven of the planets, but not represented in the Astropark. ...

The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...

... The colors indicate the relative motions of galaxies with accurately measured distances, with shades of green and blue indicating motions toward us and shades of yellow to red indicating motions away from us. Our nearest neighbors have only small relative motions (represented by yellows and greens), as seen best in the exploded view of the right panel. We, along with all these nearest neighbors, are moving together toward the lower right corner of the figures. ...

... We can help students grasp the significance of Hubble's extremely keen eye, and learn a bit about angles and math in the process, with the following in-class activity. ... Looking through binoculars or telescopes allows us to magnify a small section of the sky. To measure sizes or distances in that small section, astronomers divide a degree into 60 smaller pieces called arcminutes, and further subdivide minutes into 60 smaller sections called arcseconds. ... 30 feet = . ... 36 seconds . ...

... We describe a new library (AST) which provides a flexible high-level programming interface for handling world coordinate systems in astronomy and for producing graphical output. ... Relationships between coordinate systems are represented within AST by objects called Mappings. ... While Mappings represent the relationships between coordinate systems, the coordinate systems themselves are represented by objects called Frames. ... Like all objects, a Frame also provides methods. ...

Unknown numbers are usually represented by letters of the alphabet . ... However, different letters are also used, often hinting at the quantity they represent-- v for an unknown velocity, T for an unknown time, m or M for unknown masses and F for an unknown force. ... An example of case (#1) is the ratio between the length of a circle and its diameter, a universal constant appearing in many equations (for example, Kepler's equation in section (12a)), whose value to 11 decimals is 3.14159265359.. ...

... double comedi_to_phys (lsampl_t data, comedi_range * range, lsampl_t maxdata); . Converts data given in sample values (lsampl_t, between 0 and maxdata) into physical units (double). The parameter range represents the conversion information to use, and the parameter maxdata represents the maximum possible data value for the channel that the data was read. Conversion of endpoint sample values, that is, sample values equal to 0 or maxdata, is affected by the Comedilib out-of-range behavior. ...

... By using the tools of sections (20) and (21), the mathematics of approximate solutions developed in (M-5), and assuming all orbits are circles, it is a relatively straightforward job to calculate the distance to the Lagrangian L1 point (or to L2). ... Let the gravitational constant be denoted by G , the mass of the Sun by M , that of Earth by m , the Earth's distance from the Sun by r and its velocity in its orbit by v . ... GMm / r 2 = mv 2 / r . and multiplying both sides by r / m . ...

... Representing Coordinate Systems (Frames) While Mappings represent the relationships between coordinate systems, the coordinate systems themselves are represented by objects called Frames. ... A Plot's base Frame corresponds with the native coordinates of the underlying graphics system. Plotting operations are specified, using AST Plot methods, in physical coordinates which correspond with the Plot's current Frame (typically this might be a celestial coordinate system). ...
