Solar Journey: The Significance of Our Galactic Environment ...
Notes: The LSR velocities are based on the Standard solar apex motion. The
cloud distances are upper limits. The Apex cloud is also known as “Panoramix” or
the “Aql-Oph cloud”. References: Table 6.1, Witte (2004), FGW, Frisch (2003), ...

Measuring the Universe: The Cosmological Distance Ladder
The point towards which it moves is called the solar apex. (Note that Herschel
made a good estimate of the position of the solar apex before our modern
understanding of the Galaxy came about.) The point of all this is that the Sun
moves rather ...

Astrophysics of Life: Proceedings of the Space Telescope ...
The LIC upstream direction in the local standard of rest (LSR, after removing the
solar apex motion) is / = 346°, b = -1° with a LIC velocity through the LSR of -15
km s-1. The LIC is a member of a cluster of cloudlets flowing at —17 ± 5 km s_1 ...

An Introduction to Astrophysics
If we analyze the observed radial velocities of stars with respect to the Sun in
different directions over the celestial sphere, we find that the radial velocities of
stars in the constellation Hercules average to - 20 km s"1 in the direction of solar
apex ...

Introduction To Astrophysics, 2/e
Similarly, the stars in the opposite direction in the constellation Columba seem to
be receding from the Sun at a speed of +20 km s_1 in the direction of the solar
antapex which is the direction opposite to that of the solar apex. The average ...

The Construction of the Heavens: William Herschel's Cosmology
To Herschel, however, these tiny (alleged) changes were solid facts, to be
accounted for (if possible) by his choice of the solar apex. If we limit ourselves to
the region defined by the Maskelyne motions, then we must accept y Arietis and [

Star Trek fans need no introduction to the solar apex. When the USS Enterprise
goes into warp speed, you see the stars in the Milky Way shoot through the sky at
high speed. They seem to be racing away from the point towards which the ...
