Supernova 1999gs in NGC 4725 . This is a prediscovery image of 1999gs in NGC 4725 taken by Marco Migliardi on December 23.21 1999, during the CROSS Program with the Col DrusciХ 20" "Helmut Ullrich" telescope.

... Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2000 January 3 . Cas A Supernova Remnant in X-Rays . ... Explanation: The complex shell of a star seen to explode 300 years ago is helping astronomers to understand how that star exploded.

Prague, August 16, 2006 . Our trial revision of the GCVS data for several southern constellations show that type changes are not needed for most stars. ... We suggest to add one more symbol combining types, in the cases when two or more classification options remain for the same star, for example, EC|Ell, EC|RR (here EC means a contact eclipsing binary, this is one of our suggestions from next slides). ... Moreover, it will simplify moving stars from the suspected-variable catalogue to the GCVS. ...
... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ... The gas cools off enough for the metal, rock and (far enough from the forming star) ice to condense out into tiny particles. (i.e. some of the gas turns back into dust). ... Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...

THE 75th NAME-LIST OF VARIABLE STARS. ... The 75th Name-List consists of two tables. ... the literature, taken from positional catalogues, including USNO A1.0/A2.0 and GSC, or determined by the authors); the range of variability (sometimes the column Min gives, in parentheses, the amplitude of light variation; the symbol ( means that the star , in minimum light, becomes fainter, than the magnitude indicated); and the system of magnitudes used ( P are photographic ...
... The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. ... Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ... Brandt and Blitz (1993) published the distances and radial velocities for a total of 206 H II-regions. ... Astron. ...
... Интернет как астрономическая среда . ...
