Meade ETX, A Telescope For The Masses. Articles | ... Currently, I have a favorite recommendation that I give to these telescope hungry, eager to learn types - the Meade Instrument Company's ETX-90EC. Specifically, the recommendation is the ETX-90EC with three options that, in my usage experience, are essential: the Autostar(tm) #497 computer control paddle, the #825 right-angle viewfinder scope, and the # 883 Deluxe Field Tripod. ... www.astronomy.net .

... Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: The interplay of massive stars, gas and dust in very nearby starbursts . ... The complex interplay between regions of massive star formation and their surroundings is a determining component of galaxy evolution. Winds of massive stars and the resulting supernova explosions inject mechanical energy into the interstellar medium, redistributing gas within a galaxy. ... Return to list of thesis topics . ...

Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system, larger even than the planets Pluto and Mercury. ... Ganymede's surface consists of two main types of terrain: old, dark polygonal units, and young, bright valleys and ridges (see figure 11 ). ... In a similar way, hitting a large block of ice with a hammer makes white marks. ... Ganymede as seen by Voyager 2. ...

Constraining the Cosmic Mass Density from the SBF Survey Peculiar Velocities J.P. Blakeslee et al. University of Durham, U.K. The recently completed I-band Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) Survey of Galaxy Distances includes high-quality distance measurements to nearly 300 early-type galaxies within 4000 km/s. We compare the peculiar velocities observed in this survey with those predicted from the galaxy density eld found in ux-limited redshift surveys. ...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... A different approach is done via the setting withctisrcpos =Y: all event energy corrections do not use the actual RAWY coordinate but the corresponding RAWY location of the source ( SRCPOS ) as determined by the task epframes (either automatically or via setting withsrccoords =Y). ... The task epchain may be used with the setting ccds =4 withctisrcpos =Y to process only the CCD 4 where usually the bright source is located that causes the Out-of-Time events. ...

Results from 6m telescope observations of globular clusters in dwarf galaxies Sharina M. We consider properties of globular clusters in dwarf galaxies observed with the multi-slit unit of the SCORPIO spectrograph at the SAO 6m telescope. ... Studying GCs in dwarf galaxies at the faintest end of the galaxy luminosity function provides valuable information for a better understanding of galaxy evolution and evolutionary connection between globular clusters and nuclei of galaxies. ...

Microsymposium 38, MS083, 2003 (A4 format) MERCURY: LOCAL VARIATIONS OF THE PHOTOMETRIC RELIEF. ... Because of trajectory and pointing angle constraints the planet could be observed from Mariner 10 only over a small range of phase angles between about 75o and 110o. Therefore the photometric investigations are restricted to measuring the distribution of brightness on the Mercurian disk. ...
