In the absence of forces, motion in a straight line and constant velocity continues indefinitely. Motion in a circle, however, requires forces to act. ... Since its velocity v equals the distance it moves in one second, one finds . ... The above result suggests that steady motion around a circle, at least for a short time span, can be viewed as the sum of a straight-line motion with fixed velocity v , plus an accelerated motion towards the center of attraction, with the above acceleration, a . ...

... ROTATION CURVE: When studying spiral galaxies it is invariably found that the stellar rotational velocity in the disk remains constant, or "flat", with increasing distance away from the galactic center. ... The rotation speed of the stars in galaxies is found NOT to decrease with increasing distance from the galactic center (see emission lines in the spectrum), implying that the overall mass distribution of the galaxy is different from the light distribution. ...

The operators began moving the dome downhill at azimuth 258 degrees. The dome was at 18 degrees by the time the azimuth stopped moving. The azimuth rail had been greased the previous week. ... The red shows the dome position during this time (the top red line is 19 degrees and the bottom one is 18 degrees). ...

... Impact on source motion in Galactic coordinate system is given by Kovalevsky (2003), Malkin (2011) l cos b = -A sin l, b = -A cos l sin b, where A = R0 02 /c is the galactocentric acceleration called hereafter the GA constant. ... We just have to return to the traditional many-centuries-old astrometric practice of modelling the position of a celestial object as a linear trend with two parameters: the position at the initial (conventional) epoch and the apparent (proper) motion. ... 2011). ...

... Using the uvby -photometry and proper motion data for about 5500 F stars within 80 pc from the Sun, we have studied velocity ellipsoid parameters and obtained the following results. 1) The sizw of all wllipsoid semiaxes increase systematically for groups of stars with the decrease of both temperature (at constant metallicity) and metallicity (at constant temperature). ... As a result, each of the three parameters - temperature, metallicity and velocity dispersion - is an age indicator. ...

... Programme . ... Abstract: Chandra data taken as part of the Very Large Program (VLP) show that the X-ray spectrum in Centaurus A's jet steepens with increasing distance from the jet axis. ... Electrons with sufficient energy to emit synchrotron X-rays must be accelerated locally to the knots, since their energy loss timescale is short compared with any dynamical timescale associated with fluid motion. ...

Line widths measurements of the coronal ion Si VIII confirm earlier observations which show an increase in the non-thermal velocity above the solar limb. The present data taken at the equatorial limb, show an increase from 24 km s^-1 at the limb to 28 km S^-1 some 25,000 km above the limb. The electron density as measured from the Si VIII line pair show a decrease from 3.5 10^8 cm^-3 to 1.8 10^8 cm^-3 over the same distance. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...
