	Gamma Andromedae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gamma Andromedae (γ And / γ Andromedae) is a four star system in the constellation Andromeda.
		The brighter of these is known to be a spectroscopic binary itself, with an orbital period of 2.67 days.
		In the Foundation novels by Isaac Asimov, the star Gamma Andromedae is a populated star system, Gamma Andromeda.

	Andromeda (constellation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andromeda is a constellation named for the princess Andromeda (which is Greek for Ruler over men), a character in Greek mythology.
		The most famous deep sky object in Andromeda is M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye (M33 is slightly farther).
		If fainter stars, visible to the naked eye, in the constellation are considered, then the constellation takes the form of a stick-figure woman, with a prominent belt (as has the constellation Orion), where one arm has something long attached to it, giving the appearance of a female warrior holding a sword.

		Andromeda was the daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia of Ethiopia.
		Andromeda appears to be two lines of stars emanating from the northeast corner of the Great Square of Pegasus.
		Andromeda is a long line of fairly bright stars; her head is the star Alpheratz, which is derived from the Arabic for the “Horse’s Navel”.

		The wide part of this well-known multiple star are a well-known and easy white-and-blue double, but the blue star, gamma-two Andromeda, is itself a close binary, and has been closing during the last few decades.
		Gamma Andromeda was high overhead when I observed.
		I showed gamma Andromeda to several people, and three out of five detected the elongation of gamma-two, with correct position angle, without me telling them what the position angle was.

	Andromedia Galaxy & Constellation
		The Andromeda Galaxy (also known as Messier Object 31, M31, or NGC 224; older texts often call it the Andromeda Nebula) is a giant spiral galaxy in the Local Group, together with the Milky Way galaxy.
		The Andromeda Galaxy is easily visible to the naked eye in a truly dark sky; however, such a truly dark sky is available only in relatively few, isolated areas very far from population centers and sources of light pollution.
		In Greek mythology, Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of Ethiopia.

		The reason for this is because in former times this star has been associated with the constellation of Pegasus, next to Andromeda.
		This constellation is best known for the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, one of the most famous objects in the sky, which can most easily be found (it can be seen even with the naked eye once you get a bit out of a lightpolluted city) and gives a brilliant view in each optical instrument.
		To punish the mother, Andromeda was chained to a rock of the coast as a sacrifice for a sea monster.

	Superform of Andromeda is vast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		None of the superforms is consistently the same image to image, which I am assuming is due to different frequencies and medias used to capture the image, it is probably tied to exposure time in that the dim medias comprising the superform seem really dim.
		The Andromeda superform is not inconsistent with a partial elliptical galaxy such as the Sombrero (3d-somb1.htm, 3d-sombr.htm, sombre-2.htm) whose halo is shallow and diffuse and tilted (lower foreground slanting through the middle to upper half canted rearward) with a strong central disk which is thin and spread out in a wide cross sectional area.
		The above view is from the Hunter Andromeda original and is unenhanced, Hunter has acquired the details within M110 with enough resolution that any attempt to enhance this image produces many results inside the mantle which become less clearly seen in overeruption of the bright center.

	A MEETING WITH THE UNIVERSE
		Besides the normal spiral galaxies such as Andromeda, there are spiral galaxies with a bar across the middle, the spiral arms trailing like pennants at the end of the bar.
		Gamma ray bursts are a relatively new discovery from orbiting satellites.
		Many objects in the universe emit gamma rays fairly steadily, but these sudden eruptions of gamma rays from a single point typically last a few seconds to tens of seconds, during which they outshine the rest of the universe in gamma rays.

		The sensitivity and field of view are optimized so that coronal distributions which satisfy the angular moment constraints of BATSE typically predict an excess of ~ 30 bursts detectable by Andromeda towards M31 during the 1 year mission, relative to a control field.
		Andromeda is a coded aperture gamma-ray telescope consisting of a hexagonal coded mask coupled to an alkali-halide imaging scintillation detector, a flight-proven technology adapted from the balloon-borne Caltech Gamma-Ray Imaging Payload (GRIP).

	Small Wonders: Andromeda
		Mention Andromeda to nearly any amateur astronomer, and immediately an image of the stately Andromeda galaxy and it's companions comes to mind. While there's much more in this constellation, there's no denying this is one of the all time best showpieces in the night sky.
		The Andromeda Galaxy (also known as M31) is notable for several reasons but, perhaps it's best known for being one of the keystones in resolving the Island Universe debate (are there many galaxies or just one?), and determining interstellar distances by the use of Cephid variables.
		While I've spotted 891 in my 4" scope, it takes an 8" or larger scope to really begin to appreciate it. One of the first TV stars (It was in the opening of the show "The Outer Limits" hence the name) it's a truly spectacular galaxy in a larger scope.

		Gamma Andromedae, Almach, is one of the finest binary systems in the heavens, best seen in small telescopes or even binoculars: a triple system in which its brightest components (visual magnitudes 2.3 and 5.5) form a lovely colour contrast of yellow and blue.
		Gamma Andromedae is easiest found with the naked eye as the third of the four stars which wrap themselves around Cassiopeia.
		In the same field of view is upsilon Andromedae which has recently been in the news as being the first discovered ‘solar system’ with three planets.

		It was also found that galaxies tended to form groups, and that the groups were apparently receding from each other at speeds proportional to their distances.

		When Cassiopeia boasted that Andromeda's beauty exceeded that of the sea nymphs, the nymphs prevailed upon Neptune, the god of the sea, to punish Cassiopeia.
		Thus chained to a rocky cliff, she was rescued by Perseus, who turned Cetus into stone by flashing the face of Medusa before the monster's eyes.
		Curiously, this galaxy was discovered by Charles Messier on August 10, 1773, and depicted on his fine drawing of the "Great Andromeda Nebula" and its companions published in 1807, but Messier did never himself include this object in his catalog, due to unknown reasons, perhaps a certain sloppiness in recording.

		Their findings, published in the February issue of The Astronomical Journal, support a model that suggests stars in Andromeda are orbiting the galaxy's fl hole in a lopsided path and are piling up -- sort of a cosmic traffic jam -- at the section of the orbit that is farthest away from the fl hole.
		Although Andromeda, known as M31, is the galaxy nearest to ours, it is so distant that it takes about 2 million years for light from Andromeda to reach us.
		Unlike visible light, gamma rays are exceedingly difficult to observe with a telescope, and the bursts' short duration exacerbates the problem.

		The team presented evidence that the Andromeda galaxy is comprised of a vast, extended stellar disk that makes the galaxy more than 220,000 light-years in diameter.
		The researchers also determined that the outer fringes of the Andromeda galaxy show evidence that it may have been the result of satellite galaxies long ago slamming together.
		Large infrared telescopes like those at the W. Keck Observatory are ideal for the study of gamma ray bursts and their environments because they can keep measuring the burst's afterglow weeks to months after the afterglow fades to undetectable levels for other telescopes.

		A similar statement has been thought to be true for corona models because in such models Andromeda must produce its own "wind" of high velocity neutron stars.
		However, Andromeda imposes no constraint if the bursts are beamed along the direction of motion of the neutron star, as some models posit (Li and Dermer 1992; Li, Duncan, and Thompson 1994).
