Abstract:

Since antiquity, doing astronomy means basically stepping outside, looking upward, and considering the widest environment. Thus any undergraduate astronomy program, no matter how diverse its course offering, is incomplete without observational astronomy. For example, some California community colleges offer several courses including such titles as “Man and the Cosmos,” “Final Stellar States,” “Astronomy Enrichment,” and “Astronomical Myths, Mysteries & Fallacies,” but do not offer “Observational Astronomy.” As a teaching astronomer, I question the wisdom and honesty of such practice of pro

Abstract:

AbstractA large number of observations have accumulated which represent baffling mysteries from the standpoint of current astronomy. A sample of the most crucial of these cases is reviewed and updated. Evidence has slowly built up to the point where often each individual object is a formidable challenge to conventional theory. But, most importantly, it is now possible to appreciate the common pattern which mutually reinforces all the separate results.These empirical discordances point directly at known weaknesses in the Big Bane theory of the origin of the universe. New data is used to introdu

Abstract:

Astronomy in México has an ancient tradition, reinforced during the twentieth century by groups working in theoretical and observational astronomy. During the 1990s, the Great Millimeter Telescope (a single 50-m antenna) has been approved, and a 6-m infrared telescope is under study. Graduate and undergraduate programs must be improved to prepare future Mexican and Latin American astronomers to take advantage of these facilities. To meet the challenge, two traditional Mexican programs (Instituto de Astronomia-UNAM and Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica-INAOE) are updating

Abstract:

Astronomy has seen unprecedented growth in the past century, due to the rise in multiwavelength observations. The foundation for multiwavelength astronomy is given by Astrometry; the science of position and motion determination of celestial bodies. We present a technique of determining equatorial coordinates of celestial bodies from their pixel coordinates. We also present the subsequent results of using this technique in achieving the initial few steps required for the multiwavelength studies of young open clusters.

Abstract:

Aztec epistemology maintained that humans acquire knowledge of reality mystically using their hearts, not their five senses. What, then, was the epistemological status of observational astronomy? Aztec epistemology assigned a privileged role to mystical knowledge and an ancillary, propaedeutical role to observational astronomy. The epistemological evaluation of observational claims in Aztec astronomy occurred within a context of mystically rooted metaphysical, religious, and astrological background assumptions. These played an essential role in the epistemology of Aztec astronomy.

In this thesis, we are aimed to better understand the massive star formation process paying special attention to the role of the magnetic field. To do this, we will carry out a multi-scale analysis with a double approach, theoretical and observational. a) The role of the magnetic field in the fragmentation process: the case of G14.225-0.506 In this first work, we study the fragmentation of an infrared dark cloud that has a filamentary structure and two hubs. We will pay special attention to the magnetic field present in the environment of the hubs and we will try to relate it to the di

Abstract:

I use X-ray and optical data to investigate the structure of quasars, and its dependence on luminosity, redshift, black hole mass, and Eddington ratio. In order to facilitate my work, I develop new statistical methods of accounting for measurement error, non-detections, and survey selection functions. The main results of this thesis follow. (1) The statistical uncertainty in the broad line mass estimates can lead to significant artificial broadening of the observed distribution of black hole mass. (2) The z = 0.2 broad line quasar black hole mass function falls off approximately as a power law

Abstract:

Cataclysmic Variables (CV) are binary systems where a main-sequence star transfers mass onto a white dwarf (WD). According to standard evolutionary theory, angular momentum loss drives CVs to initially evolve from longer to shorter orbital periods until a minimum period is reached (≈ 80 minutes). At roughly this stage, the donors becomes degenerate, expand in size, and the systems move towards longer orbital periods. Theory predicts that 70% of all CVs should have passed their minimum period and have sub-stellar donors, but until recently, no such systems were known. I present one CV showing e

I also study the detection limits available to radial velocity searches for low mass companions to main sequence stars.

Abstract:

<p> Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are generally small, dark, and fast-moving. Multiple observations over time are necessary to constrain NEO orbits. Orbits based on observational data are inherently uncertain. Here we describe code written in Python and Fortran used to generate synthetic asteroids and compare calculated orbital fit based on noisy ephemeris using the a distance criteria, D-value. Observational sessions separated by more than one month produce very good orbital fits (low D-values) even at the highest noise level. Daily observational sessions show the highest D-values, as expected, s

Abstract:

In the old days (pre ∼1990) hot stellar winds were assumed to be smooth, which made life fairly easy and bothered no one. Then after suspicious behaviour had been revealed, e.g. stochastic temporal variability in broadband polarimetry of single hot stars, it took the emerging CCD technology developed in the preceding decades (∼1970-80’s) to reveal that these winds were far from smooth. It was mainly high-S/N, time-dependent spectroscopy of strong optical recombination emission lines in WR, and also a few OB and other stars with strong hot winds, that indicated all hot stellar winds likely to b

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
