Solarham. Cosmigraphics: Picturing Space Through Time in 4,000 Years of Mapping the Universe. Long before Galileo pioneered the telescope, antagonizing the church and unleashing a “hummingbird effect” of innovation, humanity had been busy cataloging the heavens through millennia of imaginative speculative maps of the cosmos.
We have always sought to make visible the invisible forces we long to understand, the mercy and miracle of existence, and nothing beckons to us with more intense allure than the majesty and mystery of the universe. Four millennia of that mesmerism-made-visible is what journalist, photographer, and astrovisualization scholar Michael Benson explores with great dedication and discernment in Cosmigraphics: Picturing Space Through Time (public library) — a pictorial catalog of our quest to order the cosmos and grasp our place in it, a sensemaking process defined by what Benson aptly calls our “gradually dawning, forever incomplete situational awareness.” Contemporary thought is endangered by the picture of nature drawn by science.

1. For both sources, one sees the eclipses and transits superposed on roughly quadratic trends; in KOI 81, one also sees the pulsations reported by R10. We first review what one can infer from the transits and eclipses, and then discuss additional information seen at other phases. Figure 1 Plasma astrophysics How to see a black hole Nature Physics.

To be sure, we know what color they are and we can see that some are more luminous than others. If we use a spectrograph we can tell what elements they are made up from. From these facts alone, it is difficult to tell just how much mass they contain. Alberio (Visual Binary) Visual Binaries are stars that are clearly gravitational associated with one another. Optical Doubles are stars that appear to lie close together, but in fact do not, they only appear to us from our earthly observation to be close together. William Herschel began looking for optical doubles in 1782 with the hope that he would find a measurable parallax, by comparing a close star to the more distant star in an optical double.Herschel did not find any optical binaries, but he did catalog hundreds of visual binaries. Spectroscopic BinaryIt is also possible to detect binary stars using a spectroscope. Iopscience.iop.org-0004-637X-557-1-24-53545.text.html.

Accretion disc coronae and magnetic flares Introduction The hard X-ray power law component in BHC and Seyfert galaxies spectra is most likely due to multiple Compton scattering (Comptonization) of soft photons on a population of hot electrons which reside in a region surrounding the accretion disc itself.
In analogy with the sun, this hot, optically thin Comptonizing region is often referred to as the accretion disc corona.X-ray spectral analysis alone is often unable to distinguish among different possible geometries for the Comptonizing corona (Figure 1), and more insight can be gained from multiwavelenght observations and detailed models of all the relevant radiative processes involved.

Lecture 15: Stellar Atmospheres, Variable Stars Stellar Atmospheres: How the layers above the photosphere affect a star's spectrum What controls the widths and strengths of spectral lines? What is observed: The "strength" of a spectral line is the area of the spectral line in a wavelength versus intensity plot -- often expressed as "equivalent width". To understand what effects the width and strength of a line, remember what causes a spectral line: individual atoms or molecules containing electrons that change orbits.
Mario A. Jimenez. I am an X-ray astrophysicist. I am interested in a mixture of experimental development work (X-ray optics for telescopes), observations with X-ray telescopes (X-ray spectroscopy of compact objects), and theory (numerical modeling of accretion disks around neutron stars and black holes). Here is a quick list of my interests: "Atomic X-ray Spectra of Accretion Disk Atmospheres around Kerr Black Holes," Jimenez-Garate, M.A., Raymond, J. C., Mauche, C.

There are two converters in this script, the first converting from MJD to MM-DD-YYYY in the modern Gregorian calendar format. The second converts from the MM-DD-YYYY format to the MJD number. This converter is accurate from 1754 A.D. to current date. All entries are numeric; in the case of months, it is MM, with the MM being from 01 to 12.
ON THE NATURE OF THE COMPACT OBJECT IN SS 433. We derive a lower limit of 2 solar masses for the compact object in SS? 4333 which clearly does not rule out a neutron star? This limit alone does not give strong observational evidence for a BH. This is the lower limit of the central object mass obtained using the sliding index?

This process is called the photoelectric effect (or photoelectric emission or photoemission), a material that can exhibit this phenomena is said to be photoemissive, and the ejected electrons are called photoelectrons; but there is nothing that would distinguish them from other electrons. All electrons are identical to one another in mass, charge, spin, and magnetic moment.

In astronomy, the spectral index of a source is a measure of the dependence of radiative flux density on frequency. Given frequency and radiative flux , the spectral index is given implicitly by Note that if flux does not follow a power law in frequency, the spectral index itself is a function of frequency. Spettroscopia Solare. La cromosfera ha uno spessore di circa 10.000 km e la sua parte più interna, ossia quella più vicina alla fotosfera è detta "strato invertente", in quanto l' osservazione dello spettro di questa porzione della nostra stella, in occasione di eclissi, presenta, per un brevissimo istante, le righe di Fraunhofer in emissione anziché in assorbimento; quello che si registra è lo spettro del gas dell' atmosfera solare, privo dello sfondo della fotosfera ed è chiamato "spettro lampo".
