Baade observed that bluer stars were strongly associated with the spiral arms, and yellow stars dominated near the central galactic bulge and within globular star clusters. [2] Two main divisions were defined as Population I star and population II , with another newer, hypothetical division called population III added in 1978.
HE 1523-0901 is the designation given to a red giant star in the Milky Way galaxy approximately 9,900 light-years from Earth. It is thought to be a second generation, Population II, or metal-poor, star ([Fe/H] = −2.95). The star was found in the sample of bright metal-poor halo stars from the Hamburg/ESO Survey by Anna Frebel and
This means that SDSS J0018−0939 most likely preserved the elemental abundance ratios produced by a first-generation very-massive star. [7] First generation stars are expected to self-regulate their growth by radiative feedback in the formation process, and to achieve masses typically tens of times that of the Sun. A fraction of stars might ...
HE 1327-2326, discovered in 2005 by Anna Frebel and collaborators, [2] was the star with the lowest known iron abundance until SMSS J031300.36−670839.3 was discovered. [5] The star is a member of Population II stars , with a solar-standardised iron to hydrogen index [Fe/H], or metallicity , of −5.4±0.2.
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel was opened in 1927 by power investors such as Sid Grauman and movie stars Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, an investment by United Artists and MGM to host guests ...
Cosmos Redshift 7 (also known as COSMOS Redshift 7, Galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7, Galaxy CR7 or CR7) is a high-redshift Lyman-alpha emitter galaxy.At a redshift z = 6.6, [1] the galaxy is observed as it was about 800 million years after the Big Bang, during the epoch of reionisation. [1]
The hottest package at this year’s Cannes Film Festival stars a 76-year old action star and is a reboot of a movie that first dazzled moviegoers in 1993. That’s a time, in case you forgot ...
It had been thought that NGC 2808, like typical globular clusters, contains only one generation of stars formed simultaneously from the same material. In 2007, a team of astronomers led by Giampaolo Piotto of the University of Padua in Italy investigated Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 2808 taken in 2005 and 2006 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys.
