michielb.nl projects maya astronomy / astronomy Maya Astronomy The Maya were quite accomplished astronomers. Their primary interest, in contrast to "western" astronomers, were Zenial Passages when the Sun crossed over the Maya latitudes. On an annual basis the sun travels to its summer solstice point, or the latitude of 23-1/3 degrees north. Most of the Maya cities were located south of this latitude, meaning that they could observe the sun directly overhead during the time that the sun was passing over their latitude. This happened twice a year, evenly spaced around the day of solstice. The Maya could easily determine these dates, because at local noon, they cast no shadow. Zenial passage observations are possible only in the Tropics and were quite unknown to the Spanish conquistadors who descended upon the Yucatan peninsula in the 16th century. The Maya had a god to represented this position of the Sun called the Diving God. Venus The Sun The Moon The Ecliptic ... Contact Updated: July 22 2005 web michielb.nl

History of Astronomy History of Astronomy: Persons Deutsche Fassung Short biographies and links The following pages include not only astronomers, but also persons with relation to astronomy: Scholars from other fields who did investigations in astronomy, makers of astronomical instruments, etc. In some cases the only relation to astronomy is that a feature on the Moon or on other planets was named after that specific person. Astronauts are included only when there was some relation of their work to astronomy. A document containing information on astronomers and related scientists is hyperlinked here only in case it provides more or less extended biographical data or it is devoted exclusively to a single person. For a large number of short biographies see the hyperlinks in the document More biographies Currently, the following pages contain more than 4600 different links to external documents for more than 1750 persons or on general items.

OS X for Astronomers: Setting up your Apple computer for professional astronomy by Jane Rigby (Carnegie Observatories) If you're a scientist who bought an Apple computer as a scientific workhorse, read on. I assume you want to write scripts, reduce data, view FITS images, plot results, work with latex, pdf, and postscript, and give presentations. I also assume that you're using the "OS X" operating system (true for post-2001 Apples), and that you are comfortable using unix/linux. I wrote these instructions for G4 apples running OS X 10.3. I updated the instructions to also work for OS X 10.4 and Intel processers. (There are several apples-for-scientists sites, so if my page doesn't answer your questions, try these links A brief preface: Your Mac's operating system is called "OS X" a version of BSD Unix with a fancypants graphical interface. Because Unix is the engine, you can use all your favorite linux tools. These instructions show you how. I've re-organized these instructions into the following categories: Absolute Essentials Unix Programs You'll Need Astro Software You'll Need Other Useful Programs ... Other References Absolute Essentials: First things first: get yourself X11 X11 is the standard linux graphical window environment. You must install X11 before you can use any of the standard graphical programs written for li/unix, including most astronomical software.

Non-Astronomer Page This page introduces SkyView to the non-astronomer. We hope that after reading this page you can use SkyView to explore the sky. Earlier versions of this page included a specialized interface, but that tended to hide many of the capabilities of SkyView and so here we discuss how you can use our standard web interface. You can produce all sky images, or images of a small region of the sky using SkyView . A few examples... Some images created using SkyView All-sky image in radio waves All-sky image in extreme UV light All-sky image in X ray light Andromeda Galaxy optical Eta Carinae Star optical Cygnus X-1 Black Hole x-ray IC 443 Supernova x-ray Geminga, Crab Pulsars gamma-ray Galactic Center Center of Milkyway infrared How to make a SkyView query You can create any of the images above and many more from our query form There are just two fields that you must specify in that form: the survey from which the data is taken, and the position of the sky that you are interested in. The figure below shows the the query form where the user has selected the cluster of galaxies ' ' as the target and the Digitized Sky Survey ' DSS ' as the source survey. You can select any number of surveys. A separate image will be generated for each.

Reid Andreas Brunthaler Heino Falcke (Submitted on 24 Jun 2005 ( ), last revised 26 Jul 2005 (this version, v3)) Abstract: A major uncertainty in the dynamical history of the local group of galaxies originates from the unknown transverse speed of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) relative to the Milky Way. We show that the recent VLBA measurement of the proper motion of Andromeda's satellite, M33, severely constrains the possible values of M31's proper motion. The condition that M33's stellar disk will not be tidally disrupted by either M31 or the Milky Way over the past 10 billion years, favors a proper motion amplitude of 100+-20km/s for M31 with the quadrant of a negative velocity component along Right Ascension and a positive component along Declination strongly ruled-out. This inference can be tested by future astrometric measurements with SIM, GAIA, or the SKA. Our results imply that the dark halos of Andromeda and the Milky Way will pass through each other within the next 5-10 billion years.
