BoÅ¡koviÄ's Spherical Trigonometric Solution for Determining the Axis and Rate of Solar Rotation by Observing Sunspots in 1777
Mirko Husak, Roman BrajÅ¡a, Dragan Å poljariÄ +5
In September 1777 RuÄer BoÅ¡koviÄ observed and measured the sun-spot positions to determine the solar rotation elements. In 1785, among other methods, he described a trigonometri…

BoÅ¡koviÄ's method for determining the axis and rate of solar rotation by observing sunspots in 1777
Mirko Husak, Roman BrajÅ¡a, Dragan Å poljariÄ +5
In 1777 RuÄer BoÅ¡koviÄ observed sunspots, determined their positions and the solar rotation elements by his own methods briefly described here. We repeat his calculations of the…

Large-Scale Stellar Age-Velocity Spiral Pattern in NGC 4030
Iris Breda, Glenn van de Ven, Sabine Thater +11
The processes driving the formation and evolution of late-type galaxies (LTGs) continue to be a debated subject in extragalactic astronomy. Investigating stellar kinematics, especi…
