Mary Somerville and Margaret Huggins: a collaborative voice at the embryonic stages of nineteenth-century astronomical specializations
… of two specializations in nineteenth-century astronomical research. Mary Somerville used prismatic analysis to separate solar rays and Margaret Huggins applied photography to spectrum analysis. How these scientific persons wrote about their experiments and outcomes in scientific papers will be …

Standard magnitude sequences in the Harvard standard regions at -45° declination
… magnitudes on a uniform system are necessary for astronomical research. The North Polar Sequence, which defines the International System, is not accessible to southern observers so it has been necessary to establish magnitude sequences in the Southern Hemisphere. A number of observing programmes …

Carbon stars and silicon carbide
… we investigate the nature and uses of SiC for astronomical research, and in particular what SiC can tell us about the dust shells around carbon stars. We investigate the SiC feature found in a collection of carbon stars, and then do the same for an additional set of "extreme" carbon stars which …
