Abstract:
The function of astronomers is to capture and create information and send it into the future. The vehicle for this transmission of knowledge is the archive. The digital revolution is quickly rendering our paper and glass archives obsolete; great challenges exist in creating archive systems for digital data. We can only meet these challenges by substantial shared effort.

Abstract:
In this document, an approach to the development of WWW-accessible astronomical archives and databases is described, which can easily be extended also to other disciplines. The architecture is based on a set of servers running at the archive site, each performing a specialized task: accessing an SQL-based DBMS, retrieving and downlinking 1-D or 2-D data (measurements), displaying quicklook data, or plotting the results of a query to the database. All of the information on the user interface is dynamically stored in the database, allowing the pages to be prepared on-the-fly; no additional software needs to be run on the user’s computer. A WWW-accessible test astronomical archive, containing both 2-D (images) and 1-D (spectra) data, and having NCSA/Mosaic as an interface is described as an example of successful application of the above concepts.

The Working Group Archives deals with all aspects of the identification and preservation of astronomical archives. In 2009 the IAU will celebrate its 90th anniversary, and on this occasion the WG is taking action toward preserving the archival materials related with the history of IAU. An institution must keep memory of its own past and, as the centenary of IAU is approaching, for the 2006-2009 triennium the WG Archives has started evaluating the archival collections related to the establishment of IAU, in order to check their extent and the current conditions of preservation and conservation of such documents.

Abstract:
Astronomical research comprises a curious mixture of team work and individualism. From the hardware point of view data are ends in themselves, while from a strictly scientific aspect their acquisition is but the first stage in the complicated process of building astrophysical models. This dichotomy is reflected in a polarization of attitudes regarding the handling of observational data, and the activity of creating archives of astronomical data for use by posterity has consequently tended to fall in no-man’s-land. To the technology team, a telescope that can successfully deliver a data-bank full of raw observations has achieved its specification, while to the scientist who is under pressure to publish papers on fresh science, the concept of voluntarily creating public archives out of data originating from personal ideas may seem more than a little alien. Nevertheless, the formation of useable and efficient archives of astronomical observations is an activity that has taken on new meaning with the advent and monopoly of digital detectors; it is a procedure that builds bridges as well as access routes and it opens new global perspectives for astronomical data, but it still relies too heavily on individual initiatives.

Abstract:
There exists many astronomical objects that vary in brightness. Objects such as variable stars like the Cepheids that periodically expands and contracts their outer layers, or the active galactic nuclei (AGN) where accretion of matter into a black hole generates a often varying brightness. Several candidates for being such variable objects have been identified as a result of the Vanishing and Appearing Stuff during a Century of Observations (VASCO) project. These candidates were then narrowed down to a handful that showed variability towards the infrared part of the spectrum. This bachelor’s thesis then aims to look further into these candidates using various databases and catalogues taking data from several sky surveys (SDSS, 2MASS etc). This is done to get better overview of the objects lightcurve over a bigger part of the spectrum, to establish whether the variability is real or a result from errors and to form a hypothesis of what kind of objects they could be. The result obtained from the data from the surveys points towards all the objects being real variable objects. The hypothesis is that all the objects are AGN’s that vary in brightness.
Det existerar många olika astronomiska objekt som varierar i ljusstyrka. Allt från variabla stjärnor som Cepheiderna som periodvis expanderar och kontraherar dess yttre skikt, till aktiva galaxkärnor där ackretion av materia in i ett svart hål genererar en ofta varierande ljusstyrka. Ett flertal kandidater för just sådana varierande objekt har identifierats som ett resultat av VASCO projektet. Dessa kandidater har sedan skalats ner till en handfull mängd kandidater som visade variation mot den infraröda delen av spektrumet. Detta kandidatarbete siktar på att vidare undersöka dessa kandidater genom att använda diverse astronomiska databaser och kataloger för att få data från flera kartläggningsprojekt (t.ex. SDSS, 2MASS etc). Detta är gjort för att få en bättre överblick över objektens ljuskurvor över en större del av spektrumet, att fastställa ifall objekten är riktiga variabla objekt eller uppstått på grund av diverse fel, samt att framställa en hypotes för vad det är för typ av objekt de kan vara. Resultaten från undersökningarna pekar på att alla objekten är riktiga variabla objekt. Hypotesen är att alla av objekten är aktiva galaxkärnor som varierar i ljusstyrka.

Full text
Abstract:
The identification of known asteroids on existing CCD pictures would allow us to obtain accurate astrometric and photometric asteroid properties. Some asteroids might have ambiguous orbital elements, thus their identification along with their exact positions on multiple picture frames could significantly improve their orbital elements. Furthermore, the possibility of identifying known asteroids on older pictures, sometimes preceding their discovery date, might allow the study of non-gravitational effects like the Yarkovsky effect. Identifying a potential Yarkovsky effect on asteroids is challenging because it is extremely weak. However, this effect cumulates with time, therefore, it is necessary to find astronomical pictures that are as old as possible. In addition, we need to collect high quality CCD pictures and use a methodology that would allow obtaining a statistically significant sample of asteroids. To accomplish this, we decided to use the online archive of the Subaru telescope at Mauna Kea Hawaii because it has a prime-focus camera with a very high resolution of 80 millions pixels very well suited to capture serendipitous asteroids. In addition, the Subaru online archive has pictures from the last 10 years. The methodology used in this thesis is to build a database that contains the orbital elements of all the known asteroids, allowing us to write a program that calculates the approximate position of all the asteroids at the date and time of each CCD picture we collect. To obtain a more precise position, the program also interfaces the JPL NASA Horizons on-line computation service. Every time an asteroid is found on a picture, Horizons sends its theoretical location back to the program. A later visual identification of this asteroid at this theoretical location on the picture triggers its input into our sample for further study. This method allowed us to visually confirm 508 distinct asteroids on 692 frames with an average diameter of 3.6 km. Finally, we use the theory (given in appendix A) to calculate the theoretical drift of these asteroids that we compare with the one we measured on the CCD pictures.

Abstract:
The significant increase of astronomical data necessitates new strategies and developments to analyse a large amount of information, which no longer is efficient if done by hand. Supervised machine learning is an example of one such modern strategy. In this work, we apply the classification technique on Gaia+2MASS+WISE data to explore the usage of supervised machine learning on large astronomical archives. The idea is to create an algorithm that recognises entries with unusual infrared properties which could be interesting for follow-up observations. The programming is executed in MATLAB and the training of the algorithms in the classification learner application of MATLAB. Each catalogue; Gaia+2MASS+WISE contains ~109, 5×108 and 7×108 (The European Space Agency 2019, Skrutskie et al. 2006, R. M. Cutri IPAC/Caltech) entries respectively. The algorithms searches through a sample from these archives consisting of 765266 entries, corresponding to objects within a <500 pc range. The project resulted in a list of 57 entries with unusual infrared properties, out of which 8 targets showed none of the four common features that provide a natural physical explanation to the unconventional energy distribution. After more comprehensive studies of the aforementioned targets, we deem it necessary for further studies and observations on 2 out of the 8 targets (Nr.1 and Nr.8 in table 3) to establish their true nature. The results demonstrate the applicability of machine learning in astronomy as well as suggesting a sample of intriguing targets for further studies.
Inom astronomi samlas stora mängder data in kontinuerligt och dess tillväxt ökar snabbt för varje år. Detta medför att manuella analyser av datan blir mindre och mindre lönsama och kräver istället nya strategier och metoder där stora datamängder snabbare kan analyseras. Ett exempel på en sådan strategi är vägledd maskininlärning. I detta arbete utnyttjar vi en vägled maskininlärnings teknik kallad klassificering. Vi använder klassificerings tekniken på data från de tre stora astronomiska katalogerna Gaia+2MASS+WISE för att undersöka användningen av denna teknik på just stora astronomiska arkiv. Idén är att skapa en algorithm som identifierar objekt med okontroversiella infraröda egenskaper som kan vara intressanta för vidare observationer och analyser. Dessa ovanliga objekt är förväntade att ha en lägre emission i det optiska våglängdsområdet och en högre emission i det infraröda än vad vanligtvis är observerad för en stjärna. Programmeringen sker i MATLAB och träningsprocessen av algoritmerna i MATLABs applikation classification learner. Algoritmerna söker igenom en samling data bestående av 765266 objekt, från katalogerna Gaia+2MASS+WISE. Dessa kataloger innehåller totalt ~109, 5×108 och 7×108 (The European Space Agency 2019, Skrutskie et al. 2006, R. M. Cutri IPAC/Caltech) objekt vardera. Det begränsade dataset som algoritmerna söker igenom motsvarar objekt inom en radie av <500 pc. Många av de objekt som algoritmerna identifierade som ”ovanliga” tycks i själva verket vara nebulösa objekt. Den naturliga förklaringen för dess infraröda överskott är det omslutande stoft som ger upphov till värmestrålning i det infraröda. För att eliminera denna typ av objekt och fokusera sökningen på mer okonventionella objekt gjordes modifieringar av programmen. En av de huvudsakliga ändringarna var att introducera en tredje klass bestående av stjärnor inneslutna av stoft som vi kallar "YSO"-klassen. Ytterligare en ändring som medförde förbättrade resultat var att introducera koordninaterna i träningen samt vid den slutgiltiga klassificeringen och på så vis, identifiering av intressanta kandidater. Dessa justeringar resulterade i en minskad andelen nebulösa objekt i klassen av ”ovanliga” objekt som algoritmerna identifierade. Projektet resulterade i en lista av 57 objekt med ovanliga infraröda egenskaper. 8 av dessa objekt påvisade ingen av det fyra vanligt förekommande egenskaperna som kan ge en naturlig förklaring på dess överflöd av infraröd strålning. Dessa egenskaper är; nebulös omgivning eller påvisad stoft, variabilitet, Hα emission eller maser strålning. Efter vidare undersökning av de 8 tidigare nämnda objekt anser vi att 2 av dessa behöver vidare observationer och analys för att kunna fastslå dess sanna natur (Nr.1 och Nr.8 i tabell 3). Den infraröda strålningen är alltså inte enkelt förklarad för dessa 2 objekt. Resultaten av intressanta objekt samt övriga resultat från maskininlärningen, visar på att klassificeringstekniken inom maskininlärning är användbart på stora astronomiska datamängder.

Abstract:
In questa tesi viene descritto l’Archivio storico del Dipartimento di Astronomia di Bologna e, in particolare, la costruzione e presentazione del nuovo sito web ad esso dedicato. La particolarità del progetto consiste nel fatto che si tratterà del primo sito di un archivio astronomico a consentire l’accesso dell’utente alle digitalizzazioni di molti dei documenti in esso presenti. La problematica analizzata è quella di produrre un inventario d’archivio completo e facilmente consultabile e ricercabile online e di una controparte digitale per i documenti che contiene. Si è voluta dare una panoramica del lavoro svolto finora, descrivendo tutte le fasi del progetto, a partire dal completamento del riordino dell’archivio, la produzione dell’inventario e la digitalizzazione delle carte, fino ad arrivare alla scelta dell’approccio informatico più adatto a valorizzare le particolarità dell’archivio e la costruzione di un nuovo sito web. Il progetto finale è in evoluzione, ma è ora possibile effettuare la consultazione online dell’intero inventario dell’archivio ed eseguire una ricerca per stringa fino alle sottoserie (o buste) che contengono l’argomento di interesse; il che fino ad ora era possibile solo su una parte dell’archivio. È inoltre possibile visualizzare le digitalizzazioni di una larga parte dei documenti in esso contenuti. Il progetto sviluppato in questa tesi prevede di poter affinare in seguito la ricerca fino ai singoli documenti e di ampliare la galleria di digitalizzazioni ai restanti documenti.

Full text
Abstract:
This introductory chapter provides a background of black holes. The term “black hole” is not defined in a technical way and is used in different contexts to mean different things. The phrase itself was popularized by the physicist John Archibald Wheeler to replace the cumbersome description “gravitationally completely collapsed object.” However, black holes are not just useful metaphors or remarkable constructs of theoretical physics; they actually exist. Over the past few decades, black holes have moved from theoretical exotica to a well-known and carefully studied class of astronomical objects. Extensive data archives reveal the properties of systems containing black holes, and many details of their behavior are known. In the current astronomical literature, the seemingly bizarre properties of black holes are now taken for granted and are used as a basis for understanding a wide variety of phenomena.

This chapter talks about Hellenistic prices in Babylon, with which a large data set has survived. The price data come from a vast archive of astronomical cuneiform tablets from the ancient city of Babylon. These tablets are unique among documents pertinent to the study of ancient history. Because of the astronomical content, any evidence extracted from these texts can be dated with certainty. Furthermore, the market quotations always were expressed in the same terms: quantities that can be purchased for one shekel (a weight measure, not a coin) of silver. In addition, values of the same six commodities were listed in a set order: barley, dates, cuscuta (mustard), cardamom (cress), sesame, and wool.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper analyzes recent work from within the physical sciences which argue for the emergence of a new paradigm capable of unifying the sciences and demonstrating the ultimate meaningfulness of the universe. I argue that while there is powerful evidence for cosmic teleology, the works in question do not represent a new paradigm and neither unify science nor adequately accommodate the evidence in question, but rather attempt to "put new wine in old skins." As Aristotle demonstrated, only teleological argumentation offers a complete scientific explanation, and authentic teleology is effectively ruled out by the hegemonic scientific paradigm which gives first place to mathematical formalism-something which makes possible rigorous description but not authentic explanation. This does not mean returning to Aristotelian science, but rather exploring the "road not taken" when Aristotelian science entered a crisis at the end of the medieval period: generalizing the concept of teleology so that it can accommodate both the physical (especially astronomical) evidence which created problems for Aristotelian science long before Galileo and Kepler, and account teleologically for such phenomena as chaos and disintegration. The work of scientists like Gal-Or, Bohm, and Prigogine provides important resources for moving in this direction, but a more explicit option for teleology is necessary if the evidence is to be accommodated and the internal contradictions of the existing paradigm to be resolved.
