Messier 75 is part of the Gaia Sausage, the hypothesized remains of a dwarf galaxy that merged with the Milky Way. [10] It is a halo object with an orbital period of 0.4 billion years to travel around the galaxy on a very pronounced ellipse, specifically eccentricity of 0.87. The apocenter (maximal distance from Earth) is about 57,000 ly ...
We simply need to compute the vector endpoint coordinates at 75°. The examples in this article apply to active rotations of vectors counterclockwise in a right-handed coordinate system ( y counterclockwise from x ) by pre-multiplication (the rotation matrix R applied on the left of the column vector v to be rotated).
Other astronomers, using side notes in Messier's texts, eventually filled out the list up to 110 objects. [9] The catalogue consists of a diverse range of astronomical objects, from star clusters and nebulae to galaxies. For example, Messier 1 is a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula, and the great spiral Andromeda Galaxy is M31.
Bar — Barkhatova (open star clusters) (for example: Barkhatova 1, NNW of NGC 7000; the North America Nebula in Cygnus) BAR — E.E. Barton (double stars) Bas — Basel (open star clusters) (for example: Basel 1 at about one degree WNW of open star cluster Messier 11 in Scutum) (Basel 1 is also known as the Apriamashvili cluster)
Signed binary angle measurement. Black is traditional degrees representation, green is a BAM as a decimal number and red is hexadecimal 32-bit BAM. In this figure the 32-bit binary integers are interpreted as signed binary fixed-point values with scaling factor 2 −31, representing fractions between −1.0 (inclusive) and +1.0 (exclusive).
For example, while our own poor group, the Local Group, has a σ = 61±8 km/s, [4] rich clusters of galaxies, such as the Coma Cluster, have a σ ≈ 1,000 km/s. [5] The dwarf elliptical galaxies within Coma, as with all galaxies, have their own internal velocity dispersion for their stars, which is a σ ≲ 80 km/s , typically. [ 6 ]
The OMDoc format has been created for markup of larger mathematical structures than formulae, from statements like definitions, theorems, proofs, and examples, to complete theories and even entire text books. Formulae in OMDoc documents can either be written in Content MathML or in OpenMath; for presentation, they are converted to Presentation ...
