OMEGA ERI (Omega Eridiani). One would think all reasonably bright stars would be understood. Not so. Here's one with an enduring mystery, one that stares back at us from a prominent position just south of the celestial equator.

 


Omega Centauri (NGC5139)
This largest of Milky Way's globular clusters probably contains more than a few million stars (estimates range from 3 million to 10 million).

Omega Cygni components Omega-1 Cygni and Omega-2 Cygni are real stars, located in the constellation named Cygnus (the location of Deneb), this system has been called Ruchba by astronomers on Earth.

Omega Centauri or NGC 5139 is a globular cluster of stars orbiting our galaxy, the Milky Way, discovered by Edmond Halley in 1677.

omega Symbol used to denote the ratio of the mass density of the universe to the critical mass density.
opacity A quantity that measures a material's ability to block electromagnetic radiation. Opacity is the opposite to transparency.

Omega
The ratio of the average density of mass in the Universe to the critical mass density, the latter being the density of mass needed to eventually halt the outward expansion of the Universe.

Zeta Andromedae is an EB variable: 3.9-4.1 with period of 17.77 days.

Omega Centauri A globular star cluster in the constellation of Centaurus. Globulars are made up of tens of thousands of stars and form a shell around our galaxy. Omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae are two of the finest examples of these objects.

omega = 2 pi f = frac{2 pi}{T}. ,
There are two velocities that are associated with waves. The first is the phase velocity, which gives the rate at which the wave propagates, is given by
v_p = frac{omega}{k} = {lambda}f.

Omega: The ratio of the actual density of the universe to the critical density. A value greater than one indicates that the universe is denser than the critical value and this corresponds to a closed universe.

The Omega Effect
Magnetic fields within the Sun are stretched out and wound around the Sun by differential rotation - the change in rotation rate as a function of latitude and radius within the Sun.

Auroral height from Earth is related to the average energy of the particles colliding with the atmosphere.

Thus, γ = A sin ( ωx + φ) where y is the simple harmonic quantity; A is the amplitude; ω is the angular frequency; x is the independent variable; and φ is the phase of the oscillation.

The binary omega Leo (a 7390) is a very difficult object to resolve. You will at least need a scope with 250mm aperture. The two stars revolve each other with a period of 117 years.
With very low power 54 Leo can easily be resolved into a pair of 4.

(c) A problem of the traditional big bang theory (without inflation) related to the precision required for the initial value of omega, the ratio of the actual mass density to the critical mass density.

For a given lump of mass m located at r from the center and rotating with an angular velocity of omega, the angular momentum is given by L = mr2omega.

The great Southern Treasures -- the Southern Cross and the Omega Centauri globular star cluster -- climb highest in our northern skies when the constellation Virgo stands on the meridian, or due south.

Centaurus also contains Omega Centauri (NGC 5139), the largest and richest globular cluster in the sky. It looks like a 4th magnitude star to those lucky enough to see it, but through even a small telescope the stars resolve into pinpoints of light.

Four degrees nearly straight up offers up our next treasure of the evening, the Omega Nebula. Named after the last letter in the Greek alphabet, it is also called M17 or NGC 6618.

It lies in the southcentral part (10:59:28.0+40:25:48.9, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear -- southeast of Omega UMa, southwest of Psi UMa, northeast of 46 UMa, and northwest of 55 UMa (see another chart with 47 UMa labeled).

Centaurus is home to Omega Centauri (NGC 5139), the brightest and largest globular cluster in the sky. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint smudge. It is one of the closest globular clusters to Earth and contains more than a million stars.

OMEGA, the combined camera and infrared spectrometer on-board Mars Express made the initial discovery on 18 January 2004. It was later confirmed by a new high-resolution spectrometer (PFS) which is capable of unprecedented accuracy.

The stars are named with Greek letters, from alpha to omega in order of decreasing brightness, followed by the "generative form" of the constellation. For example, Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo, is known as "Alpha Leonis.
