Intrinsic Energy

Observational evaluation of intrinsic energy distributions in OB spectra is difficult as these stars are usually reddened and any dereddening procedure may change from place to place in the Galaxy. We compare two-color diagrams (UV vs. visual) from two stellar complexes of the same Sp/L class. The observed differences may be caused by additional far-UV reddening of distant objects as well as by intrinsic differences between stars belonging to different complexes. We argue in favor of the first possibility which would allow one to use the same standards in all of the Galaxy.

The Galaxy

It is now possible to determine proper motions of high-velocity objects in such a way as to obtain with some accuracy the velocity vector relevant to the Sun. If a potential field of the Galaxy is assumed, one can compute an actual orbit. A determination of the velocity of the globular clusterωCentauri has recently been completed at Greenwich, and it is found that the orbit is strongly retrograde in the Galaxy. Similar calculations may be made, though with less certainty, in the case of RR Lyrae variable stars.

The Hipparcos mission demonstrated the efficiency of space astrometry (in terms of number of objects, accuracy, and uniformity of results) and the fact that a relatively small instrument can have a very large scientific potential in the area of astrometry. However, Hipparcos could probe less than 0.1 per cent of the volume of the Galaxy by direct distance measurements. Using a larger instrument and more efficient detectors, it is now technically feasible to increase the efficiency of a space astrometry mission by several orders of magnitude, thus encompassing a large part of the Galaxy within its horizon for accurate determination of parallaxes and transverse velocities. Such a mission will have immediate and profound impact in the areas of the physics and evolution of individual stars and of the Galaxy as a whole.

Abstract The Spitzer Extended Deep Survey (SEDS) as a deep and wide mid-infrared (MIR) survey project provides a sample of 500 000+ sources spreading 1.46 square degree and a depth of 26 AB mag (3σ). Combining with the previous available data, we build a PSF-matched multi-wavelength photometry catalog from u band to 8 μm. We fit the SEDS galaxies spectral energy distributions by the local galaxy templates. The results show that the SEDS galaxy can be fitted well, indicating the high redshift galaxy (z ∼ 1) shares the same templates with the local galaxies. This study would facilitate the further study of the galaxy luminosity and high redshift mass function.
