G-type star setâre-ye gune-ye G Fr.: étoile de type G Same as → G star. |
Gaia Gaia (#) Fr.: Gaia A → European Space Agency → astrometry mission launched on 19 December 2013. Gaia's goal is to create the largest and most precise three-dimensional chart of the → Milky Way galaxy by providing unprecedented positional (position on the sky and distance to the Sun) and annual → proper motion measurements for about one billion stars in our Galaxy and throughout the → Local Group. Moreover, the third component of the velocity, the → radial velocity, will be obtained for all stars down to V = 17 mag. Similarly, multi-color photometry will be carried out on all stars down to V = 20 mag. Gaia will achieve the planned astrometric requirements by repeatedly measuring the positions of all objects down to V = 20 mag with final accuracies of about 20 microarcsec at 15 mag. It will provide distances accurate to 20% as far as the → Galactic Center. The satellite is expected to be launched in 2012 and be placed in a → Lissajous orbit around the Sun-Earth → Lagrangian point L2. Gaia is a much more advanced version of the → Hipparcos mission. Initially, GAIA was the short for Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics. Although subsequently the interferometer option was abandoned, the acronym was maintained in lower case. |
gain bahré (#) Fr.: gain 1) A measure of the → amplification of an electronic device,
usually expressed as the ratio of → output power to
→ input power. From M.Fr. gain, from O.Fr. gaaigne, from guaaignier "to obtain," from Germanic *waidanjan "to hunt, plunder," also "to graze, pasture," from P.Gmc. *wartho "hunting ground" (cf. Ger. weide "pasture, pasturage"); PIE base *weiə- "to go after something, strive after." Bahré, from bahr "part, portion, share, lot;" Av. baxəδra- "portion," from bag- "to attribute, allot," → division. |
galactic kahkešâni (#) Fr.: galactique 1) Of or pertaining to a → galaxy. Adjective of → galaxy. |
Galactic anticenter pâdmarkaz-e kahkešân Fr.: anticentre galactique The point in the → Galactic plane that lies directly opposite the → Galactic center. It lies in the constellation → Auriga at approximately R.A. 05h 46m, Dec. +28° 56'. → galactic; → anticenter. |
galactic bar mile-ye kahkešâni Fr.: barre galactique An elongated bar-shaped structure composed of stars present in some spiral galaxies. About two-third of such galaxies contain bars that cross their centers. Bars, like → spiral arms, result from a → density wave in which stars take very elliptical orbits. They form when the → galactic disk dominates the → galactic bulge, → Ostriker-Peebles criterion. Bars play an extremely important role in a galaxy's evolution. The gravity from a bar is the mechanism that drives → interstellar gas from the outer parts of a → spiral galaxy inward toward the central regions, and into the galactic nucleus itself. This causes tremendous bursts of star formation. Therefore, a majority of massive stars are born in such starbursts in the nuclei of galaxies. Bars may also channel the material that falls into black holes within active galactic nuclei, releasing enormous power in radiation and particles from tiny regions at the centers of some galaxies. Bars disappear as galactic centers grow more massive (after some 2 to 8 Gyr). |
Galactic bulge kuž-e kakhašân Fr.: bulbe de la Galaxie The central → galaxy bulge of the → Milky Way. |
Galactic Center markaz-e kahkešân (#) Fr.: centre galactique 1) The rotational center of the → Milky Way galaxy located
in the direction of the → Sagittarius constellation at a
distance of 7.62 ± 0.32 kpc (2005, ApJ 628, 246). Its equatorial coordinates
(J2000 epoch) are: R.A. 17h45m40.04s, Dec. -29° 00' 28.1''.
The Sun orbits around the Galactic center once every 200 million years
at a speed of 220 km per second. It is believed that
there is a → supermassive black hole at the
Galactic center. |
Galactic center cluster xuše-ye markaz-e kahkešân Fr.: amas du centre galactique One of the three massive clusters located toward the → Galactic center: → Quintuplet cluster, → Arches cluster, → Central cluster. Heavily extinguished by the presence of dust clouds and only accessible at infrared (and longer) wavelengths or in X-rays, each of these clusters has a population of more than a hundred → massive stars. The three clusters are similar in most respects, each containing about 104 solar masses in stars. The Arches cluster is younger than the two others. |
galactic cluster xuše-ye kahkešâni, ~ kahkešânhâ Fr.: amas galactique 1) Same as → open cluster. |
Galactic coordinates hamârâhâ-ye kahkešâni Fr.: coordonnées galactiques A system of astronomical coordinates using → latitude (bII) measured north and south from the → Galactic equator and → longitude (lII), measured from the → Galactic Center in the sense of increasing → right ascension from 0 to 360 degrees. In the old system (lI,bI), the Galactic center was at lI = 327°41'. Same as → galactic system. → galactic; → coordinate. |
galactic disk gerde-ye kahkešân Fr.: disque galactique The flattened component of a → spiral galaxy which is composed of stars and concentrations of dust and molecules. → Star formation takes place mainly in the disk. |
galactic dynamics tavânik-e kakhešâni Fr.: dynamique galactique The study of the → motions of the → stars, → gas, and → dark matter in a → galaxy to explain the main → morphological and → kinematical features of the galaxy. |
Galactic equator hamugâr-e kahkešân Fr.: équateur galactique The great circle in the sky defined by the place of the → Galactic plane or the → Milky Way. At an angle of about 62°, the Galactic equator intersects the celestial equator at two points located in the constellations → Monoceros and → Aquila. |
Galactic habitable zone zonâr-e zistpazir-e kahkešân Fr.: zone habitable galactique A region of the Galaxy whose boundaries are set by its calm and safe environment and access to the chemical materials necessary for building terrestrial planets similar to the Earth. → circumstellar habitable zone; → habitable zone. |
Galactic halo hâle-ye kahkešân Fr.: halo galactique A roughly spherical aggregation of → globular clusters, as well as the oldest stars and unseen mass that surrounds the Galaxy. |
Galactic latitude varunâ-ye kahkešâni Fr.: latitude galactique In the → Galactic coordinate system, the angle between the line of sight to an object and the → Galactic equator. Galactic latitude, usually represented by the symbol bII, ranges from +90 degrees to -90 degrees. |
Galactic longitude derežnâ-ye kahkešâni Fr.: longitude galactique In the → Galactic coordinate system, the angle between the → Galactic Center and the projection of the object on the → Galactic plane. Galactic longitude, usually represented by the symbol lII, ranges from 0 degrees to 360 degrees. |
galactic nucleus haste-ye kahkešân Fr.: noyau de galaxie A concentration of stars and gas in the innermost region of a galaxy, sometimes extending over thousands of light-years from the center of the galaxy. |
galactic outflow ostacân-e kahkešâni Fr.: flot galactique |
