NGC 2000.0


Book Description

This essential amateur astronomer's reference is an updated and expanded edition of J. L. E. Dreyer's famous New General Catalogue, providing visual data and notes for 13,226 deep-sky objects.




The ∆a photometric system


Book Description

This book describes the characteristics and applications of the Δa photometric system, which measures the stellar flux at around 520 nm. Since its introduction in 1976 by Hans-Michael Maitzen, the Δa system has not only been successfully applied to the classical chemically peculiar stars of the upper main sequence, but also to galactic and extragalactic star clusters. New possible applications for studying galaxies, quasars and other astrophysical objects of interest are discussed.

Morphology, Kinematics and Star Formation Across the Hubble Sequence of Galaxies


Book Description

This thesis discusses the evolution of galaxies through the study of the morphology, kinematics, and star formation properties of a sample of nearby galaxies. The main body of the thesis describes the kinematic observations with the GHaFAS Fabry-Perot instrument on the William Herschel Telescope of a sample of 29 spiral galaxies. The work is closely related to the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies, and uses the mid-infrared data of that survey to determine key parameters of the galaxies studied. From these data, important results are obtained on streaming and other non-circular motions in galaxies, on the distribution and rates of star formation, and on how correlations of these parameters and of the rotation curve shape with basic galaxy parameters yield clues on the evolutionary processes taking place in disk galaxies.
