Abstract:
The current status of the absolute magnitude calibration of the brightest blue and red supergiants in galaxies of different absolute magnitudes shows trends of M(star) with M(parent galaxy). Red supergiants show a more shallow correlation than the blue stars for galaxies brighter than MB = −14. For fainter galaxies, the red supergiant method appears to become totally degenerate.Four areas of application of the brightest star data are discussed as (1) determining MB of the Eddington limit to be ∼−10 for blue supergiants, (2) calibration of MB(max) = −20.0±0.4 for type I supernovae, leading to a

Abstract:
The brightest stars in galaxies have been often considered useful as distance indicators. However, one may expect that the absolute magnitude of the brightest stars in galaxies should depend on the IMF and on the present SFR, and that statistical effects may be important, although different in different photometric bands, due to the different numbers of objects effectively sampled.

Abstract:
Although luminous stars are relatively rare, they can potentially be studied out to large distances. In our own Milky Way, this advantage is offset by obscuration due to dust in the plane of the Galaxy. In addition, distances to these individual stars are extremely difficult to determine. The study of external galaxies allows a panoramic view of the system and its individually brightest stars which are all at a common distance. The spatial distribution of star forming regions is immediately apparent, and the effects of obscuration are minimized. Nearby resolved galaxies therefore provide a ric

The spectral resolution is 0.4 Å for most of the spectra and 0.2 Å for the very brightest stars. Up to 11 spectra are available for one star. In addition, we have done UBVRIJHK(LM) photometry at several epochs of all stars of our sample.

Abstract:
AbstractBlue supergiant stars of B and A spectral types are amongst the visually brightest non-transient astronomical objects. Their intrinsic brightness makes it possible to obtain high quality optical spectra of these objects in distant galaxies, enabling the study not only of these stars in different environments, but also to use them as tools to probe their host galaxies. Quantitative analysis of their optical spectra provide tight constraints on their evolution in a wide range of metallicities, as well as on the present-day chemical composition, extinction laws and distances to their host

We present Magellan adaptive optics Ha imaging of HH 508, which has the highest surface brightness among protostellar jets in the Orion Nebula. We find that HH 508 actually has a shorter component to the west, and a longer and knotty component to the east. The east component has a kink at 0.'' 3 from the jet-driving star theta(1) Ori B-2, so it may have been deflected by the wind/radiation from the nearby theta(1) Ori B1B5. The origin of both components is unclear, but if each of them is a separate jet, then theta(1) Ori B-2 may be a tight binary. Alternatively, HH 508 may be a slow-moving out

We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May. Our regular photometric surveillance started in 2015 October, and a sequence of dipping began in 2017 May continuing on through the end of 2017, when the star was no longer visible from Earth. We distinguish four main 1%-2.5% dips, named "Elsie," "Celeste," "Skara Brae," and " Angkor," which persist on timescales from several days to weeks. Our main results so far are as follows: (i) there are no apparent changes of the stellar spectrum

We present detailed studies of the kinematics and star formation properties of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. A total of five giant LSB galaxies including the prototype, Malin 1, were imaged in the 21-cm line of H sc I to provide the first glimpse into the kinematics of these systems. We find that these are some of the first examples to be uncovered of galaxies that are both massive and dark matter dominated. We also find that most of the galaxies have gas surface densities that lie below the critical density for star formation at all radii, consistent with their lack of star formation

Abstract:
This report characterizes night sky conditions in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (SEKI) using measurements made in the park unit and models of regional conditions based on satellite data. Calibrated night sky imagery was obtained to characterize the night sky at 5 sites. These ground-based observations were collected on 8 nights from 2004-06-12 to 2009-07-21. Satellite data from 2022 was used to create a map of predicted night sky conditions in and around the park. The sky overhead remains pristine with an average zenith brightness of 21.63 mag/arcsec2. We estimate more than 91% of st

Abstract:
This report characterizes night sky conditions in Canaveral National Seashore (CANA) using measurements made in the park unit and models of regional conditions based on satellite data. Calibrated night sky imagery was obtained to characterize the night sky at three sites. These ground-based observations were collected on three nights: March 13–15, 2018. Satellite data from 2023 was used to create a map of predicted night sky conditions in and around the park. The sky overhead is influenced by moderate light pollution with the average zenith brightness of 21.07 mag/arcsec2. We estimated a range

Abstract:
This report characterizes night sky conditions in Cumberland Island National Seashore (CUIS) using measurements made in the park unit and models of regional conditions based on satellite data. Calibrated night sky imagery was obtained to characterize the night sky at one site. These ground-based observations were collected on the night of March 9, 2018. Satellite data from 2023 were used to create a map of predicted night sky conditions in and around the park. The sky overhead is influenced by moderate light pollution with a single measurement zenith brightness of 20.86 mag/arcsec2. We estimat

Zilberman, Mark. Methods to Test the “Dimming Effect” Produced by a Decrease in the Number of Photons Received from Receding Light Sources. Intellectual Archive, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.32370/iaj.2437.

Full text
Abstract:
The hypothetical “Dimming Effect” describes the change of the number of photons arriving from a moving light source per unit of time. In non-relativistic systems, the “Dimming effect” may occur due to the growing distance of light sources moving away from the receiver. This means that due to the growing distance, the photons continuously require more time to reach the receiver, which reduces the number of received photons per time unit compared to the number of emitted photons. Understandably, the proposed “Dimming effect” must be tested (confirmed or rejected) through observations. a. This ar

Zilberman, Mark. Shouldn’t Doppler 'De-boosting' be accounted for in calculations of intrinsic luminosity of Standard Candles? Intellectual Archive, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.32370/iaj.2569.

Full text
Abstract:
"Doppler boosting / de-boosting" is a well-known relativistic effect that alters the apparent luminosity of approaching/receding radiation sources. "Doppler boosting" alters the apparent luminosity of approaching light sources to appear brighter, while "Doppler de-boosting" alters the apparent luminosity of receding light sources to appear fainter. While "Doppler boosting / de-boosting" has been successfully accounted for and observed in relativistic jets of AGN, double white dwarfs, in search of exoplanets and stars in binary systems it was ignored in the establishment of Standard Candles for
