galactic latitude

These were diffuse filamentary clouds that are visible at high galactic latitudes.

Analogous to terrestrial latitude, galactic latitude is usually measured in degrees ( ).

Make high-resolution maps of diffuse galactic emission over a wide range of galactic latitudes.

Many sdO stars are moving at high velocity in the galaxy and are found at high galactic latitudes.

The FBS continued observations till 1978 with a full spectra survey at high galactic latitudes.

It will be world's first lunar-based astronomical observatory, making long-term continuous observations of important celestial bodies to study their light variation and low galactic latitude.

Galactic latitude is positive towards the north galactic pole, the poles themselves at 90 and the galactic equator being zero.

The model was valid at high galactic latitudes but failed in the galactic plane because of the lack of knowledge of interstellar absorption.

Galactic latitude resembles the elevation above the galactic plane and galactic longitude determines direction relative to the center of the galaxy.

NGC 3201, also known as Caldwell 79, is a low galactic latitude globular cluster in the southern constellation of Vela.

Polaris is a classic Population I Cepheid variable (although it was once thought to be Population II due to its high galactic latitude).

This combination of sky coverage and sensitivity ensures that an appropriate guide star can be found with 95% probability at any point in the sky, including high galactic latitudes.

RR Lyrae stars are found at all galactic latitudes, as opposed to classical Cepheid variables, which are strongly associated with the galactic plane.

A special Institute Advisory Committee recommended that the WFPC2 be used to image a "typical" patch of sky at a high galactic latitude, using several optical filters.

This was based upon the kinematic properties of the star and cluster, as well as the location of this star at a high galactic latitude in an area otherwise lacking in stellar associations.

The galactic latitude of -42 for this pulsar continues the trend of recent millisecond pulsar discoveries at high latitudes, confirming that the distribution of low-luminosity millisecond pulsars is largely isotropic.

After further observations confirmed the results, by 1973, the astronomical community generally recognized black hole Cygnus X-1, lying in the plane of the Milky Way galaxy at a galactic latitude of about 3 degrees.

It had to be at a high galactic latitude, because dust and obscuring matter in the plane of the Milky Way's disc prevents observations of distant galaxies at low galactic latitudes.

This catalog contains both low and high galactic latitude sources and includes some sources observed by HEAO 1, Einstein, OSO 7, SAS 3, Uhuru, and earlier, mainly rocket, observations.

It excludes a number of well known 3C/3CR objects, including, of course, all the supernova remnants from 3C, but also some well-known radio galaxies that fall foul of the declination, flux density or galactic latitude constraints.

Furthermore, because of the LMC's high galactic latitude, an observer there would get an oblique view of the entire galaxy, free from the interference of interstellar dust which makes studying in the Milky Way's plane difficult from Earth.

With a galactic latitude of 4 degrees and galactic longitude 71 degrees, this system lies inward along the same Orion Spur in which the Sun is located within the Milky Way, near where the spur approaches the Sagittarius Arm.

While the high Galactic latitudes covered by the LAS make it suitable for observations of sources outside the Milky Way, the survey also targets Galactic sources, incorporating a second pass in J to measure proper motions of nearby stars.

It has been suggested that millisecond pulsars contribute to the galactic γ -ray background, perhaps providing as much as 25% of the γ -ray flux at high galactic latitudes, although no millisecond pulsar has yet been detected at these energies.

("PK 164+31.1" basically represents the planetary nebula that when using the galactic coordinate system has a galactic longitude of 164 degrees, a galactic latitude of +31 degrees, and is the first such object in the Perek-Kohoutek catalog to occupy that particular one square degree area of sky).
