... STScI-PRC99-19 HUBBLE FINDS VARIABLE STARS IN DISTANT SPIRAL GALAXY A NASA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) view of the magnificent spiral galaxy NGC 4603, the most distant galaxy in which a special class of pulsating stars called Cepheid variables have been found. It is associated with the Centaurus cluster, one of the most massive assemblages of galaxies in the nearby universe. ... Researchers found 36-50 Cepheids and used their observed properties to securely determine the distance to NGC 4603. ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... COAST . Fringes and Power Spectra from COAST . ... After acquiring a star, measurements must be made of the (complex) fringe visibility on each baseline. ... Fortunately, even in the presence of very strong atmospheric turbulence there is a good observable: the phase of the triple product of the visibilities on three baselines, commonly known as the closure phase. ... We then form the power spectrum of the resultant data, and hence estimate the visibility. ...
