Abstract:

‘If it didn't have Einstein's name on it, would you give a damn?’ Nobel laureate Philip Anderson, critiquing proposals for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory in 1990Interest in Einstein's work and name shows little sign of abating in either scholarly or popular circles. The books reviewed here range from a collection of primary sources and research papers devoted to fine points of detail, through to cultural commentary and popular studies of Einstein's work and its legacy; their most common general concern is with the place science holds in broader culture.

Abstract:

Why are Canadian astronomers so keen on going to Chile to study the stars with a small telescope? First and foremost, the southern half of the celestial sphere contains scientifically exciting and unique objects which have long been neglected. Secondly the rapid growth of Canadian cities and the cloudy Canadian climate renders nearby telescopes less effective than they used to be for some (though not all) types of research.

Abstract:

James Gregory, inventor of the reflecting telescope and Fellow of the Royal Society, was the first Regius Professor of Mathematics of the University of St Andrews, 1668–74. He attempted to establish in St Andrews what would, if completed, have been the first purpose-built observatory in the British Isles. He travelled to London in 1673 to purchase instruments for equipping the observatory and improving the teaching and study of natural philosophy and mathematics in the university, seeking the advice of John Flamsteed, later the first Astronomer Royal. This paper considers the observatory initiative and the early acquisition of instruments at the University of St Andrews, with reference to Gregory's correspondence, inventories made ca. 1699– ca. 1718 and extant instruments themselves, some of which predate Gregory's time. It examines the structure and fate of the university observatory, the legacy of Gregory's teaching and endeavours, and the meridian line laid down in 1748 in the University Library.

My library dates back to 1904, shortly after Dr. George Ellery Hale came west from Yerkes Observatory to the sleepy little town of Pasadena, California to start the Mount Wilson Solar Observatory. The classification system used in this new library was published for the International Council by the Royal Society of London. Over time the librarians managed to acquire many complete runs of observatory publications from all over the world, and they were arranged alphabetically according to the place where they were published. University publications have been included in this collection as well.

Abstract:

The history of origin and scientific activities of the suburban Astronomical Observatory of the Ural University are associated with K.A. Barkhatova’s life and work, among her achievements were restoration of the Department of Astronomy and Geodesy in 1960, and the resumption of the training of specialists in astronomy and geodesy. The First satellite launch on October 4, 1957 was great stimulus for the opening of department. A station for optical observations of satellites was organized in Sverdlovsk. Successful scientific and academic work of the department required a modern, properly equipped suburban observatory. Yu.A. Gagarin flight around the Earth on April 12, 1961 aroused unprecedented interest in astronomy and space among people and accelerated the resolution of the issue of an observatory construction. K.A. Barkhatova, with the support of colleagues from the Astronomical Council of the USSR Academy of Sciences, other observatories of the country, rector of the Ural University, and the public took up the construction. In 1963 the observatory near Kourovka station was founded. January 12, 1965 is considered to be the birthday of the new observatory. K.A. Barkhatova was it’s scientific adviser; at present, the observatory is named after her. The observatory performs observations on modern equipment, conducts excursions for students, teachers and public. Each year, the observatory hosts a student scientific conference "Physics of Space" – a unique astronomical school for young students and graduate students.

Abstract:

In 2020, the Astronomical Observatory celebrates its 175th anniversary. The first director of the observatory was a student of the founder of the Pulkovo Observatory, Academician V.Ya. Struve Vasily Fedorovich Fedorov. Under his leadership, a site for the observatory was selected, a project was developed (by architect V. Beretti), a main building was constructed, and basic observatory astronomical instruments were commissioned. He also prepared and taught basic astronomy and surveying courses for university students. After him at the university, the post of professor of astronomy and director of the Astronomical Observatory was occupied by well-known astronomers A.P. Shidlovsky, M.F. Handrikov, R.P. Vogel, S.D. Chornyi. The main area of scientific research since the foundation of the observatory until the 1940s was astrometry and theoretical astronomy. With the arrival at the University of Kiev in 1939, the already well-known astronomer S.K. Vsekhsviatsky, along with existing scientific trends, astrophysical studies began. He started studying the small bodies of the solar system, physics of the sun and solar activity, astrophysics at the University of Kiev. The most important scientific achievements of the astronomers of the university include the work of determining the orbits of celestial bodies, the meridian observations of stars to create and maintain the celestial coordinate system, numerous observations of solar eclipses, which created the concept of dynamic solar corona, observing comets and meteors, application of the general theory of relativity in astronomy, development of the theory of gravitational lensing, opening of comets and participation in the international scientific project of the European Space Agency “Rosetta” on the research of Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Abstract:

The Monash Observatory, located at Mount Burnett, Victoria, seventy kilometres east of the city of Melbourne, at a latitude of 38° S has a 0.45-m Cassegrainian and a 0.25-m Newtonian telescope. Both are equipped for photoelectric photometry, with microcomputer-based data logging systems. The 0.45-m has recently replaced the observatory's original 0.4-m Newtonian. Our site is near the coast, and has less than 20% photometric weather. Access to the telescopes and facilities of Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories (MSSSO) increases our observing time and the scope of our research. For a description of the Monash Observatory at mid-1984 see Coates et al, (1984).

Abstract:

The HPOL spectropolarimeter, previously operated by the University of Wisconsin at Pine Bluff Observatory (PBO), has been restored and relocated to the University of Toledo's Ritter Observatory. We achieved first light with HPOL at Ritter Observatory on 2012 March 11. We present a detailed instrument description of HPOL in its current configuration at Ritter Observatory, and a description of the standard observing procedure. We performed frequent observations of unpolarized standard stars to calibrate the instrumental polarization. We present polarimetric calibration results for observations spanning 2012 March 11 to 2013 May 2. Our calibration work shows that the systematic uncertainties of observations obtained with HPOL at Ritter Observatory are comparable to, and sometimes outperform, the systematic uncertainties obtained at PBO. We have successfully recommissioned the HPOL spectropolarimeter at Ritter Observatory, making it once again available for ongoing science observations.

Abstract:

The Laws Observatory of the University of Missouri is an example of the small university observatory that under lean financial circumstances succeeded for a number of years (1890-1920) as a successful research institution. Productive research appears to have been due to the temperament of the individual astronomers who had the ability to find projects which could be accomplished with small telescopes, minimal equipment, and few other resources. In these circumstances, a handful of students began careers in astronomy at the University of Missouri.

Abstract:

In February 2014, the Yale Exoplanet Laboratory was commissioned to design, build, and deliver a high resolution ([Formula: see text]) spectrograph for the 1.65[Formula: see text]m telescope at the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory. The observatory is operated by the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy at Vilnius University. The Vilnius University Echelle Spectrograph (VUES) is a white-pupil design that is fed via an octagonal fiber from the telescope and has an operational bandpass from 400[Formula: see text]nm to 880[Formula: see text]nm. VUES incorporates a novel modular optomechanical design that allows for quick assembly and alignment on commercial optical tables. This approach allowed the spectrograph to be assembled and commissioned at Yale using lab optical tables and then reassembled at the observatory on a different optical table with excellent repeatability. The assembly and alignment process for the spectrograph was reduced to a few days, allowing the spectrograph to be completely disassembled for shipment to Lithuania, and then installed at the observatory during a 10-day period in June of 2015.

Abstract:

The article deals with the history of the institutions where meteorological and geomagnetic research originated and developed in the south of Ukraine in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries as well as their close ties with the history of the Department of Physical Geography, Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Novorossiysky University. Professors of Novorossiysky University V. I. Lapshin and F. N. Shvedov were those to whom the Department of Physical Geography owed its appearance. Teaching meteorological disciplines and scientific observations were initially conducted by the staff of the Department at the meteorological station of the University. In 1894, thanks to the efforts of prof. A. V. Klosovsky a special Meteorological observatory was constructed in the area of the Small Fountain of Odessa. In 1905, geomagnetic measurements were launched. Research works at the Magnetic Meteorological Observatory were carried out under the guidance of a number of scientists-geophysicists, M. A. Aganin, S. G. Popruzhenko, I. Ya. Tochidlovsky and P. T. Pasalsky being the most famous. In 1920, the University was closed and Observatory was transformed into an independent Odessa Geophysical Observatory. As soon as the Odessa State University was restored in 1933, the Observatory was given back to its Alma mater. However, since the postwar years it has been a part of the Odessa Hydrometeorological Center of the Black and Azov Seas.

Abstract:

AbstractDonations (in cash and kind) amounting to $200,000 from companies in the south-western Sydney region have allowed the construction of a teaching, research and public access Observatory at the University of Western Sydney in Campbelltown. The Observatory will also serve as the home of the Australian Optical SETI Project (OZ OSETI for short). Two fibre-glass domes will be installed at the site. The main 4.5 m fibre-glass dome will house a 0.4 m telescope while the smaller 2.9 m dome will house a 0.3 m telescope. Both telescopes are fork-mounted Schmidt-Cassegrains working at f/10. An outside observation area will be used for tripod-mounted telescopes for public use and teaching purposes. The expected completion date for the project is July 2000.

AbstractCharles Todd, who established the Adelaide Observatory on West Terrace in 1860, retired as Government Astronomer at the end of 1906. In 1908 the meteorological duties of the Observatory were taken over by the Commonwealth, and the Observatory lost most of its staff. Following the promotion of George Dodwell to the position of Government Astronomer in 1909, the Observatory was slowly re-established and undertook a range of astronomical and other work, which is described in detail in this paper. The Observatory was transferred to the University of Adelaide in 1940 and this is often taken as the closure of the Observatory. Dodwell finished working as Government Astronomer in 1952.

At the beginning of 2017, 53 workers worked in the State Astronomical Observatory, of which 28 were scientists, including 6 doctors of sciences and 17 candidates of sciences. The structure of the observatory includes the sector astrometry and the small bodies of the solar system (the head of the sector is Kleshchonok V.V., Ph.D), the department of astrophysics (the head of the department is professor Zhdanov V.I., doctor of Science) and 2 observation stations (Lisnyky, Pylypovychi). During the year budget topics were carried out: “Fundamental physics and models of high-energy astrophysical phenomena”, scientific leader professor Zhdanov V.I., doctor of Science; “Cosmic factors of terrestrial cataclysms: observation, analysis, informatization”, scientific leader Rosenbush V.K., doctor of Science. Young scientists of the Observatory won the competition for financing the youth theme “Multi-wave research of cosmic sources of gamma radiation in the framework of the STA project”, scientific leader Ponomarenko V.O., Ph.D. Main scientific results. The potential source of the triplet of cosmic rays with energies above 1020 eV – magnetar SGR 1900 + 14 is found. The possible manifestations of the acceleration of the cosmic rays by the remnant of the Nebula, in which the magnetar SGR 1900 + 14 was born, was investigated. In order to monitor potentially dangerous bodies of the solar system at the observatory station (Lisnyky) 3323 observations were received from 70 comets and 103 asteroids, 3 new asteroids (2017 ST39, 2017 SV39, 2017 TS7) were officially confirmed by the International Center for Small Planets. In 2017, the staff of the Observatory published 4 monographs, 81 scientific articles, 36 of them in foreign publications; 78 reports have been made at 12 conferences.

Abstract:

In the article, the author examines the building of the Astronomical Observatory (1833-1837), which was a part of the architectural ensemble of Kazan Imperial University in the first third of the 19th-early 20th centuries (now – Kazan Federal University). The primary purpose of the study is to identify the specific features of the university ensemble. The task is to set the value of the Astronomical Observatory as the basic identifier of the ensemble. The research methodology is based on the theory of identity in architecture and urban planning and the application of a systematic analysis of the ensemble and its components. The author determined the importance of the Astronomical Observatory's building in the university ensemble in the context of the theory of identity. The features of the space-planning solution of the observatory building, its placement in the city landscape, and its great importance in the formation and development of astronomical science in Kazan allow us to conclude that the Astronomical Observatory was one of the identifiers of Kazan Imperial University ensemble. The significance of the research results lies in the development of the theory of identity when one of the objects of the ensemble becomes its identification code.

Abstract:

The article deals with the fate of the astronomical-meteorological observatory, which was built in the Eastern Carpathеs on the Hill of Pip-Ivan (height 2028 m) in 1938, when the Carpathian region was part of Poland. Another name of the observatory is "White Elephant", because in the winter under the snow the observatory's house resembles the shape of the elephant. Mount Pip Ivan has a pyramidal shape with the presence of ancient forms of glacial relief, composed of sandstone. The observatory was equipped with the most up-to-date scientific equipment, in particular, a telescope, astrograph and refractor of British production. The Observatory was destroyed during the Second World War. Currently, with joint efforts of Ukraine and Poland, in particular with the participation of the University of Warsaw and the Precarpathian University named after V. Stefanyk of Ivano-Frankivsk the restoration of the observatory is under way, as well as the construction of an International Center for Ukrainian and Polish Students Youth Meetings focusing on research in geography, meteorology, geology, seismology, astronomy and biology. Keywords: astronomical-meteorological observatory, Mount Pіp Ivan, restoration, Obserwatorium fund, research in the fields of geography, meteorology, geology, seismology, astronomy and biology.

Abstract:

The University of São Paulo (USP), founded in 1934, is the largest university in Brazil, having about 50,000 students and 5,000 teachers/researchers distributed among 33 institutes and 184 departments.Astronomical work was already developed at the older São Paulo Observatory (founded 1912), which was later attached to the university. The observatory has been renamed as Instituto Astronômico e Geofisico (IAG), and presently houses the departments of Astronomy, Geophysics, and Meteorology. Graduate astronomy courses, intended to provide Master (M.Sc.) and Doctor (D.Sc.) degrees, started in 1973.

Abstract:

Space Exploration Limited (SEL) new observatory facilities in Spain will support a diverse range of educational and professional activities, from entrylevel projects to innovative graduate and professional research. Robotic telescopes and sophisticated instrumentation can aid in designing an astronomy curriculum as well as carrying out individual short-term or long-term research or learning projects. SEL's observatory facilities support faculty by providing an easy, practical and cost-effective approach in which there is no need to develop, purchase or maintain astronomical equipment. Because of the extensive range of instrumentation, research can be carried out to lay the foundation to increase the chances of getting time on the largest telescopes. Robotic telescopes can be integrated successfully into education by avoiding the challenges uncovered by worldwide research into this area.

Abstract:

Sakurajima Volcano Observatory, with a history exceeding 60 years, is recognized by researchers in Japan and overseas for conducting frontier research centering on Sakurajima, the most active volcano in Japan. It is owned by Kyoto University and represents the university in the surrounding communities. This paper reviews the open-door events, which have been conducted yearly for the last ten years as a part of a university-wide effort by Kyoto University. They make use of the facilities at Sakurajima Volcano Observatory, which aims to enhance the understanding of volcanoes among the general public in collaboration with geo-guides as “boundary workers.”

Abstract:

The Antarctic submillimetre Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO), a 1.7 m offset Gregorian, is scheduled for installation at the South Pole in November 1993. It is a collaboration including the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Boston University, the University of Illinois, the University of Colorado, and the University of Cologne. Observational tests (Pajot 1990; Dragovan et al 1990) and modeling (Bally 1990) of atmospheric transparency over the Pole indicate that it is the best accessible submillimetre-wave site in the world. The immediate scientific goals are heterodyne spectroscopy of galactic molecular clouds and molecular lines in the earth’s stratosphere at wavelengths near 600 μm. Two early observational programs are a large-scale survey of the CI line at 609 μm and monitoring of the 2.8 mm O3 line arising in the stratosphere. Under the newly-formed Center for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica (centred at Yerkes Observatory), AST/RO will become a general-purpose instrument for the millimetre, sub-millimetre and far-infrared.
