... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... The goal of this project is to detect the termination of the white dwarf cooling sequence in nearby open star clusters, and hence derive cluster ages that are independent of the normal main sequence turnoff method. ... The potential for accurate proper motion measurements, i.e., measurements of transverse motion across the sky, with GSAOI offers a means of overcoming this difficulty. ...
... Printed in U.S.A. THE STELLAR DISK THICKNESS OF LOW SURFACE BRIGHTNESS GALAXIES D. Bizyaev 1,2,3 and S. Kajsin 4 Received 2003 October 23; accepted 2004 June 9 ABSTRACT We present surface photometry results for a sample of 11 edge-on galaxies observed with the 6 m telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russia. ... We find from a comparison of photometric scales that the stellar disks of LSB galaxies are thinner than those of high surface brightness ( HSB) galaxies. ... UGC 11301 .. ...
