... Uncovering the Chemistry of Earth-like Planets . ... An Earth-like planet, born from the same nebula as its host star, is composed primarily of silicate rocks and an iron-nickel metal core, and depleted in volatile content in a systematic manner. The more volatile (easier to vaporize or dissociate into gas form) an element is in an Earth-like planet, the more depleted the element is compared to its host star. ... Apr . ...

... The spectrum of the brightest star, our Sun, shows several dark gaps perpendicular to the flow of it’s colours (figure 1). These so called spectral absorption lines where discovered in 1802 by the English scientist William Wollaston. ... Some stars as Pollux show a spectrum similar to that of our sun with strong Ca II and Fe II lines, others as Sirius or Vega show strong absorption lines of hydrogen, others, as Mira show very complicated spectra due to molecular absorption lines (see figure 5). ...

... LMC Project Outline . NGC 1818 Initial Results . ... The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is uniquely suitable for the study of massive star clusters at all stages of evolution. By combining HST observations of these clusters with N-body models we hope to understand the origin and evolution of rich star clusters in our own Galaxy, in the LMC, and beyond. ... We aim to combine our HST observations with N-body models to understand the formation and evolution of globular clusters. ...

... Panoramic spectroscopy of the sample of 80 nearby lenticular galaxies is presented. ... By comparing the subsample of the S0s with the chemically distinct nuclei to the total sample of nearby S0s (Fig. 1), we have assured that the chemically distinct nuclei are always younger than the surrounding bulges: the mean age difference between the chemically distinct nuclei and their surrounding bulges is 2.8 Gyr while the age difference between the nuclei and the bulges for the whole sample is only 1 Gyr. ...
