Stellar populations in the Milky Way bulge region: towards solving the Galactic bulge and bar shapes using 2MASS data We re-analyse photometric near-infrared data in order to investigate why it is so hard to get a consensus for the shape and density law of the bulge, as se... AC Robin...
In the fundamental quest of the rotation curve of the Milky Way, the tangent-point method has long been the simplest way to infer velocities for the inner low-latitude regions of the Galactic disk from observations of the gas component. In this article,
Milky Way Galaxy (sometimes simply called the Galaxy), large spiral system of about several hundred billion stars, one of which is the Sun. It takes its name from the Milky Way, the irregular luminous band of stars and gas clouds that stretches across th
The simulated test image results can be seen in Figure 14; the first column provides a brighter and more clear MW shape (brightness: 5), which can be used for comparison between the Stellarium MW area and the detected MW area. The real images we used are from a live sky camera located...
More recently, astronomers have been trying to figure out what type of galaxy the Milky Way is. Our best estimates these days suggest that it is a barred spiral, meaning that there is a bar structure across the center. Astronomers can estimate the shape of the Milky Way by looking at its...
The previous understanding of the spiral shape and structure of the Milky Way is built upon indirect measurements to celestial landmarks and inferences based on other galaxies in the universe. "This is the first time we can use individual objects to show this in three dimensions," said Skowron...
Little folk too young to use the writing-brush without help had their small hands guided, by parent or elder sister or elder brother, so as to shape on a tanzaku the character of some single word or phrase relating to the festival,—such as "Amanogawa," or "Tanabata," or "Kasasagi ...
3.3). A many-valued logic in which the values of these conditions can be any real number between 0 and 1 is then a possible way and Eqs. (5)–(10) must be modified accordingly. Using the notation from Sects. 3.3 Eq. (8) would then for the sufficient condition λ′ translate into:...
The Milky Way Galaxy is twisted in shape银河系是弯的体裁说明文难度★★★Astronomers have created the most precise map to date of the Milky Way—by tracking thousands of big pulsatingstars spread throughout the galaxy, demonstrating that its disk of myriad(无数的) stars is not flat but dramati...
Another theoretical possibility would be to imagine Anaxagoras’ earth not as a disk but as oblong, which would fit better the shape of the Milky Way (cf. Heath1913, 84). This would however not affect the argument of this chapter.
