Extractions: NGC 2264 at 12 microns My research at Steward Observatory focused on star formation in the Milky Way, and especially in the young (about five million years old) galactic cluster NGC 2264. This star formation region is filled with young stars, dust, and gas. A major advancement in understanding this cluster was made by surveying the point sources in this region. This survey was combined with work by C.J. Lada, Erick Young, and Tom Greene, to produce a catalogue of 4900 detections at the V, R, I, J, H, and K photometric bands. I built an instrument for use with existing infrared imaging camera hardware. This instrument enabled high quality polarimetric maps to be made of sources such as Sharpless 106 Sharpless 140 , and also a region in NGC 2264 Using the coordinates obtained by making the multiband survey mentioned above, the spectra of 361 sources in NGC 2264 were obtained. I wanted to determine the spectral types of these stars, but since the spectra spanned the range 3690-6960 Angstroms, I had to extend the MK classification system to these red wavelengths. Using

Extractions: Purpose and Direction of CART The Consortium for Astronomy Research and Teaching (CART) was formed in 2001 and funded by the Appalachian College Association (ACA). It's purpose is to allow small colleges in the Appalachian Region to share ideas and resources necessary to enhance the teaching and research of astronomy to college students. Since 2001 several colleges have participated in CART: Alice Lloyd College, Carson-Newman College, Davis and Elkins College, Warren Wilson College and Wheeling Jesuit University. Together we are a "mega-department" rather than individuals working in isolation. What's New © C.A.R.T.

Extractions: The ARO owns and operates two radio telescopes in southern Arizona: The former NRAO 12 Meter (KP12m) Telescope located 50 miles southwest of Tucson on Kitt Peak and the Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope (HHSMT) located on Mt. Graham near Safford, Arizona. Combined, the two telescopes routinely cover the entire millimeter and submillimeter windows from about 4.6 mm to about 0.6 mm, and at the HHSMT observations can be made all the way to 0.3 mm with PI instruments. The telescopes are operated around-the-clock for about 9 to 10 months per year for a combined 10,000 hours per observing season (about 1500 hours are dedicated to sub-mm wavelengths at the HHSMT). The ARO offices are centrally located in the Steward Observatory building on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson Arizona.

Research-active staff can be grouped as follows: Ten teaching staff in IfA (Peter Brand, John Cooke, Jim Dunlop, Alan Heavens, Andy Lawrence, Avery Meiksin, John Peacock, Andy Taylor, Ignas Snellen, Makoto Kishimoto). Staff elsewhere in the University who undertake astronomical research (Douglas Heggie and Max Ruffert, Maths; Phil Woods, Physics).

PPARC directs and co-ordinates the funding of research in national and international programmes in particle physics, astronomy, cosmology and space science. It delivers world class science, technology, and people and supports research in three main areas: astronomy, particle physics and planetary science. Astronomy, which includes astrophysics and cosmology, studies the origin and evolution of the universe and galaxies, and the life cycle and properties of the stars. Particle physics covers theoretical and experimental research into elementary particles and the forces of nature. Planetary science, which includes solar terrestrial physics, studies the origin and evolution of the solar system and the influence of the sun on planetary bodies, particularly Earth.

Extractions: PREVIOUS PAGE ASTRONOMY RESEARCH PROJECT Aims This project should take the place of a Sixth form Physics Practical project. The students could undertake it as a real research project or make it a search for some feature, for example, a new supernova. Introduction The Bradford Robotic Telescope can obtain images of almost any star in the northern sky. For rapid turnaround you will need to check where the stars are during the night to ensure that they can be seen by the telescope during the hours of darkness. The easiest way to do this is to use a programme like Skyglobe which displays the position of stars at any time and place. ( Skyglobe is available from the Bradford Engineering in Astronomy Group or from Hensa gopher://micros.hensa.ac.uk:70/11/micros/ibmpc//dos//f/f688 ) An alternative is to use a Phillips Planisphere for the UK (51½° North) which is available from good bookshops. The main research function of this telescope is its ability to measure the brightness of an object with great precision, although control via the Internet brings it to your classroom or home. Project Some general questions are raised - the same as those at the end of "The Galaxy and the Universe" project in the Nuffield programme for year eleven. A few more specific ideas are indicated, although research is still generally at the stage of looking for particular changes. The observations undertaken by the

Extractions: PREVIOUS PAGE Aims This project should take the place of a Sixth form Physics Practical project. The students could undertake it as a real research project or make it a search for some feature, for example, a new supernova. Introduction The Bradford Robotic Telescope can obtain images of almost any star in the northern sky but the Messier objects (bright stars, galaxies and clusters) will be the easiest to observe. The chief advantage of this telescope is its ability to measure the brightness of an object with great precision, although control via the Internet helps us. Project Some general questions are raised - the same as those at the end of "The Galaxy and the Universe" project. A few more specific ideas are indicated, although research is still generally at the stage of just looking and hoping to see something interesting. The observations undertaken by the Hubble Space Telescope provide one quick image of each star (or distant galaxy). The amateur astronomer can also make significant observations because he or she can observe the same star or cluster over days, weeks or months. However, some scientific thinking has to go into the choice of observations. Suggested Topics for Research Number of stars in a globular cluster (this will entail counting the outer stars then integrating the brightness of the cluster).

Extractions: Dr. G.H. George Most Recent Work: An investigation of the visual appearance of rapidly moving objects. The finite speed of light will cause visual distortions in the appearance of objects moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light c relative to the observer. If, in the standard cartesian x y z coordinate system or cylindrical polar r z coordinate system, an object has a velocity v k parallel to the z -axis and if the observer sees that a reference point on that object achieves its closest approach at a distance d from the observer in the z t , then the apparent position of the reference point at any time t will be given by An application of this result to the visual appearance of a superluminal [faster than light] circle is illustrated in a QBASIC program The apparent speed u is given by These results can be extended to the case of objects moving at or beyond light speed (such as the images of spotlights sweeping out rapidly over a distant surface). The effects of Lorentz contractions on real extended objects can also be incorporated. In the special case of an object moving directly toward the observer, the expression for the apparent speed

Extractions: Stars form from interstellar clouds rich in hydrogen....they shine for billions of years, gradually converting hydrogen into helium....when hydrogen is exhausted, they need to find other energy sources....they expand to become giants and supergiants....low-mass stars expel planetary nebulae and become white dwarfs....high-mass stars explode as supernovae, leaving a neutron star or black hole behind. That is the simple picture, reality is more bizarre. The sky is full of exotic stars which don't seem to fit. Why not? What can they tell us about normal stellar evolution (from Stephen Tonkin's tutorial on stellar evolution In Armagh, we study highly evolved stars, representing the last stages of stellar evolution. Many of these are peculiar because they have virtually no hydrogen on their surfaces. Some represent groups of extremely rare stars. Many show pulsations. Many present challenges to stellar evolution, stellar pulsation and stellar atmospheres theory. In many cases, the basic question is "What is their origin?" Our WWW pages give a flavour of current research. Extreme helium stars are B- and A-type supergiants, rich in carbon and nitrogen but practically devoid of hydrogen.
