From: TerryMosel aol.com Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 19:20:37 EDT Subject: Delta Scorpii Bright? ... I quote: "Delta Scorpii tonight was estimated as not far off the brightness of Antares, unless it's my eyes playing tricks! According to Starry Night Pro 4.5, Delta is supposed to be mag 2.3 but it seems to be nearly equal brightness with Antares which is supposed to be mag 1.1 and that is still allowing for the difference in colour. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

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. ...

November 2006 Astronotes 1 Candles in the Dark Image Credit: Wikipedia.org By Colin Johnston, Science Communicator Since the mid-ninteenth century astronomers have used the principle of parallax to measure the distance to other stars. ... How then can we tell, for example, that M31, the galaxy in Andromeda, is 2.2 million light years away? It would be straight-forward to tell how far away a star was if it was exactly the same brightness as our own Sun. ...

... It is found that the correlation coefficients between these two parameters calculated separately inside and outside the sunspot formation zone ±30 have cyclic variation and occur in anti-phase. This suggests different mechanisms of formation of the corona in the fields of small, medium, and large scales. ... The relationship between the coronal green line brightness (CGLB) and the magnetic field strength (MFS) has been investigated by constructing the corresponding synoptic maps for the 1977-2001. ...
