This lecture is presented by the UCSC Astronomy and Astrophysics Department and UCO/Lick Observatory as part of the Halliday Lecture Series, made possible by a private gift to UCSC by John Halliday to promote public awareness and appreciation for astronomy and astrophysics. UCSC is one of the world's leading centers for both observational and theoretical research in astronomy and astrophysics. The department includes twenty-two faculty members, whose research interests range from the Solar System and the Milky Way to the most distant galaxies in the Universe and the most fundamental questions of cosmology. There are typically over a dozen postdoctoral researchers in residence, as well as a dedicated and skilled technical staff and a steady stream of visiting scientists. The UCSC department was recently ranked first in the country in research impact, based on citation studies.

It includes the control center and correlator for VLBA observations and provides space for the Atacama Large Millimeter Array project. The Very Large Array (VLA) , one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin 80 km (50 miles) miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (426.5 feet) in diameter.

92. Modern Research By Eduard Westra research done about low mass black holes. On the level of 2nd year astronomy students. http://www.astro.rug.nl/~westra/aoz

In our second year we have to carry out a project about a subject in astronomy. This year we chose for black holes . Now we had to think of a main question, which has become: Do black holes exist in our Universe? To answer this question we divided the question into subquestions. My subquestion is: How can stars evolve into black holes? This question is very important to answer the main question, because the current theories say that IF black holes are created there are three different sizes: very low mass black holes: about 10 to 10 M sun low mass black holes: about 10 to 10 M sun heavy mass black holes: about 10 to 10 M sun If there should be low mass black holes you should think that they have a progenitor of the massrange of a star. Of which kind of an object do you think of when you have an object in the massrange of a star? On the ground of the mass of a black hole you can assume that stars can evolve into low mass black holes. The other two categories will be explained by colleagues of mine. They think that very low mass black holes originate from primordial black holes. About high mass black holes, which will be in the center of galaxies, they have different theories. The subquestion is subsequently devided into four subquestions.

Supernovae Research Group of the University of Texas Astronomy Department Supernovae are the violent explosions of stars that are responsible for producing all of the "heavy" material (anything other than hydrogen and helium) in the Universe. For a brief time, their brightness approaches that of an entire galaxy. White dwarf stars can become supernovae if they accrete matter from a binary partner and approach the Chandrasekhar limit; this type of supernova leaves no remnant at all. Massive stars end their lives by having their cores collapse to form neutron stars or black holes, while blowing off their outer layers. Anglo-Australian Observatory , shows the same portion of the sky before and after the supernova exploded. A larger version of this image is available from the AAO or by clicking on the image above. The background image is courtesy of The Supernova Nexus at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The Supernovae Research Group of the University of Texas Astronomy Program is conducting research, both theoretical and observational, in order to better understand these events.

The research programme is a collaborative effort between experimental and theoretical physicists, together with material scientists, with the common goal of understanding of the behaviour of correlated electrons in oxide materials. The work is distributed across the collaborating institutions: at the University of St Andrews (School of Physics and Astronomy), at the University of Birmingham (in the School of Physics and Astronomy and also the School of Chemistry) and in the Low Temperature Physics group at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. We also work with a number of international collaborations. The experimental work is headed by Professor Andy Mackenzie (St Andrews) and the theoretical work by Professor Andy Schofield (Birmingham).

The Lowell Observatory Public Astronomical Research Center by Jeffrey C. Hall The Lowell Observatory Public Astronomical Research Center (LOPARC) is an Internet observatory that allows users to access a research-grade telescope, an online digital archive of astronomical images, and server-side software that many professional astronomers use in their research. Online activities are available at a variety of conceptual levels, allowing anyone from primary school students to adults to use the facility with appropriate content. Two versions of the user interface allow clients to be deployed for general home or private-venue access, as well as in a more restricted point-and-click mode in public venues such as museums and public libraries. The facility is currently open in its initial public release at Lowell Observatory's campus in Flagstaff, Arizona, and is slated for full Internet availability by September, 2003. Contents Introduction Design goals System design Maintenance, expansion, and administration ... Conclusion Introduction The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, is a 108-year old, private, non-profit institution dedicated to astronomical research and education. The 22 astronomers on our science staff are leaders in their areas of specialization, while our education and outreach program brings some 70,000 visitors each year to our campus. Our 6,500 square-foot Steele Visitor Center is open 360 days per year, and has a large exhibit hall and auditorium that serves as the focal point of our programs. On our campus are two telescopes dedicated to public education: the historic 24" Alvan Clark refractor, used by Percival Lowell a century ago to map features on the surface of Mars, and the 16" reflecting telescope of the John Vickers McAllister Public Observatory, installed in 1996 about 100 feet south of the Clark telescope dome.
