About Jenny
Hey I’m Jenny!
Thanks for checking out my guide to Astrophotography, If you’re looking for a
hobby that’ll give you a feeling of awe, appreciation and insignificance all at
the same time, Astrophotography is for you! Hopefully I’ve given you a taste of
how to get started – now it’s over to you!

Galactic
Cepheid Database
( DDO )
The
Galactic Cepheid Database is a project of J. Donald Fernie that lists all known
Population I cepheids. It consists of four tables listing data on 505 cepheids
in the Galaxy. Information includes positional data, color excess determinations,
periods, amplitudes and means of V, B and B-V derived by Fourier fits to
magnitude and intensity light curves, radial velocities, distances, Z values,
etc. Simple string searches of the database are possible using WWW client
software such as NCSA Mosaic. The tables can be viewed in PostScript format or
retrieved in either ascii or dBase IV versions.

( PH308 )
This
course is a third year undergraduate option taught by the
Astronomy Group at
Southampton
University. The
course is intended to provide a broad introduction to extragalactic astronomy:
it is divided into three main sections, which cover the properties of normal
galaxies, the nature of active galaxies, and our current understanding of
cosmology.
The purpose of these WorldWide Web site is to provide direct access to some of
my notes, to a number of the on-line resources used in preparing the lectures,
and to further material. They are not a substitute for the lectures (at
least, not yet)!

A web resource on the life and works of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642).
The GALLEX experiment was performed by an international collaboration headed by
MPIK Heidelberg. GALLEX measured the solar neutrino flux produced inside the Sun
by proton-proton fusion. As target for neutrino capture, a large amount (30
tons) of the rare element Gallium in form of an aqueous solution of
Galliumtrichloride was used. To protect the detector from the interfering cosmic
radiation one must go deep underground. Hence the experiment was carried out
under the shielding of Italy's highest mountain outside the Alps, the Gran Sasso
d'Italia in the Abruzzo region.

Probe B Relativity Mission
( Stanford )
Gravity
Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed by NASA and
Stanford University to test two extraordinary, unverified predictions of Albert
Einstein's general theory of relativity. The experiment will check, very
precisely, tiny changes in the direction of spin of four gyroscopes contained in
an Earth satellite orbiting at 400-mile altitude directly over the poles. So
free are the gyroscopes from disturbance that they will provide an almost
perfect space-time reference system. They will measure how space and time are
warped by the presence of the Earth, and, more profoundly, how the Earth's
rotation drags space-time around with it. These effects, though small for the
Earth, have far-reaching implications for the nature of matter and the structure
of the Universe.

distributes those positions around the world in real time -- a few seconds! --
so that other instruments can make follow-up observations in other wavebands
while the burst is still bursting! (2) distributes locations of GRBs detected by
other spacecraft. (3) distributes reports follow-up observations made by
ground-based optical and radio observers.
These three functions provide a one-stop shopping network for follow-up sites
and GRB researchers.

Green
Flashes
( An Introduction )
Green
flashes are real (not illusory) phenomena seen at sunrise and sunset, when some
part of the Sun suddenly changes color (at sunset, from red or orange to green
or blue). The word ``flash'' refers to the sudden appearance and brief duration
of this green color, which usually lasts only a second or two at moderate
latitudes.
