Cygnus X-1
... Cygnus X-1 is one of the most likely candidates as being a black hole. Cygnus X-1 is about 14,000 light years away from earth. So this means that what we are seeing, is many, many, years old. It is a very inconsistent source for X-ray emissions. The emissions of X-rays for Cygnus X-1 flicker in hund ...

Process of Science: PreMainSequence Stellar Life Tracks on the HR
... Hint 1. The role of star clusters in astronomy Star clusters are extremely useful to astronomers for two key reasons: 1. All the stars in a cluster lie at about the same distance from Earth. 2. All the stars in the cluster formed from the same interstellar cloud and therefore began to form at about ...

Most of the other occultations listed were video recorded, but until recently there was no easy way to quantify ...

Summary of Dynamics of the regular hendecagon: N = 11
... The boundary between these two invariant regions can be defined using winding numbers. S[4] of course has winding number 4/11 with step sequence constant {4}, but the density plot at the bottom of the page makes it clear that there are more ‘energetic’ points on the border of S[4]. For example the c ...

CHAPTER 6 THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
... You might possibly have noticed that, in section 2, I had not properly defined the north point of the horizon other than by saying that it was the point marked N in figure VI.1. We see now that the north and south points of the horizon are the points where the vertical circle that passes through the ...
