  • Sociology of Modern Cosmology
    Certain results of observational cosmology cast critical doubt on the foundations of standard cosmology but leave most cosmologists untroubled. Alternative cosmological models that differ from the Big Bang have been published and defended by heterodox scientists; however, most cosmologists do not heed these. This may be because standard theory is

  • SOFIA observations of the planetary nebula NGC 7009
    We report spectrophotometric observations made with SOFIA/FORCAST on 2011 June 2 UT. Optical measurements have previously shown that the abundance discrepancy factor (adf) varies with position in several high-adf PNe, and is highest close to the central star. The very low electron temperature inclusions postulated to explain the abundance

  • Solar-like oscillations from the depths of the red-giant star KIC 4351319 observed with Kepler
    We present the results of the asteroseismic analysis of the red-giant star KIC 4351319 (TYC 3124-914-1), observed for 30 d in short-cadence mode with the Kepler satellite. The analysis has allowed us to determine the large and small frequency separations, ?Hz and ?Hz, respectively, and the frequency of maximum oscillation power, ?Hz. The high

  • Spatial dependence of the star formation history in the central regions of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy
    We present the star formation history (SFH) and the age-metallicity relation (AMR) in three fields of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. They sample a region spanning from the centre of the galaxy to beyond one core radius, which allows studying galactocentric gradients. In all the cases, we found stars as old as 12 Gyr, together with intermediate

  • Spatial Gradients of Old Populations in the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
    We propose to observe six fields in the nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) Sculptor in order to study the stellar populations, and in particular their spatial gradients, through RR Lyrae star populations and deep color-magnitude diagrams (CMD). In addition to provide a complete census of its short-period variable stars, we will use the pulsation

  • Spatial number densities and errors from photographic meteor observations under very high activity.
    A procedure to compute meteoroid spatial number densities from photographs is presented. It follows from the visual method of Koschack and Rendtel with slight changes. Some parameters are recomputed and hints are given on how to produce useful photographic observations. Finally, an analysis of the expected errors is performed.
