58 Andromedae

58 Andromedae, abbreviated 58 And, is a single star in the northern constellation Andromeda. 58 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.78 The distance to this star, as determined from its annual parallax shift of $0.12$, is 186 light years. 58 And is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +8 km/s. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of $7.6$ per year.

This star is 425 million years old with a stellar classification of A5 IV-V, indicating the spectrum displays mixed traits of an A-type main-sequence star and an older subgiant star. It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 135 km/s, which is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 6% larger than the polar radius. The star has double the mass of the Sun and about 1.9 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 36 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,875 K.

8 Andromedae

8 Andromedae, abbreviated 8 And, is a probable triple star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 8 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82. Based upon an annual parallax shift of $−8.0$, it is located about 570 light years from the Earth. It is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −8 km/s.

The primary component is an ageing red giant star with a stellar classification of M2.5 III Ba0.5. The suffix notation indicates this is a mild barium star, which means the stellar atmosphere is enriched with s-process elements. It is either a member of a close binary system and has previously acquired these elements from a (now) white dwarf companion or else it is on the asymptotic giant branch and is generating the elements itself. This is a periodic variable of unknown type, changing in brightness with an amplitude of 0.0161 magnitude at a frequency of 0.23354 d−1, or once every 4.3 days.

The third component is the magnitude 13.0 star at an angular separation of $3,616$ along a position angle of 164°, as of 2015. It has a Gaia Data Release 3 parallax of $0.04$ and a proper motion almost identical to 8 Andromedae. A number of other faint stars within a few arc-minutes of 8 Andromedae have been listed as companions, but none are at the same distance.

Within Andromeda it is the second of a northerly chain asterism – 11 is further south-westward, with 7, 5, then 3 Andromedae in the other direction.

Talk:Virga

Please help Chech Wikipedia!
Good evening (or whatever phase of day may be in your place), I'd like to beg of you for further explanation of following sentence. Please use easier words, if possible. My knowledges of English aren't so good. Thank you very much Milhaus, czech wikipedia User:147.251.242.166 ---
 * The red light can be caught by the streamers of falling precipitation, while aloft winds push the bottom ends of the virga so it falls at an angle, making the clouds appear to have commas attached.

--
 * Hi Milhaus,
 * It was not my line, but:
 * The streamers of rain below the cloud at sunset are visible because of the setting sun. Air movements (wind currents) below the clouds push the streamers to one side in an arcuate pattern resembling a comma below the cloud. The streamers of precipitation evaporate some distance below the clouds, typically creating an irregular whispy lower edge to the streamers of precipitation, or virga.
 * Hope that helps - Vsmith 02:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Above copied from my talk page for reference here. Vsmith 02:33, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Acronym
I removed "It also is an acronym for "Variable Intensity Rain Gradient Aloft", meaning the rain gradient varies in intensity dependent upon altitude. As the precipitation evaporates as it falls, its intensity lessens, hence; virga." as I've never heard of that in meteorology and seriously doubt it's veracity. The name comes the derivation from Latin. Dan100 (Talk) 13:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Since the last posting somebody undid that change again, putting the "acronym" explanation back in. I put it back to the Latin yesterday. Sorry for having made a change without checking here first, as I see the "Latin vs. acronym" thing has gone back & forth like a ping-pong ball. I do hope it will be agreeable to give the legitimate Latin etymology, and then as additional information refer to it as a backronym since it is, apparently, pretty popular and many people think it is really an acronym. Better to address that than leave it out, since it keeps coming back like a bad penny. brucemcdon – 02:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Funny. The statement that the "acronym" is not real but rather a made-to-fit "backronym" has been marked "citation needed." I'll leave that one alone for now. (How would you do that, cite a place where it gives the "acronym" explanation, and say that they're wrong? Or maybe by citing an authoritative weather source such as NOAA and note that they don't say it's an acronym.) In principle it would seem more pertinent to include a citation for the real (Latin) etymology (example: virga. Dictionary.com. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/virga (accessed: June 22, 2009)), rather than citing a source for the fact that the made-up acronym (backronym) is not the origin (though it clearly has been force-fitted to the meaning) of the word. Somehow, though, it doesn't seem appropriate in an encyclopedia to cite a dictionary for an etymological question.

As a side note, since I included the assertion that the word is not a legitimate acronym, by calling it a backronym, that explanation has spread out to hundreds of online resources, all drawing from here or subsequently from each other, usually without attribution. Researching the question has become increasingly recursive. brucemcdon – 16:19, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Compressional heating
"... this is usually due to compressional heating, because the air pressure increases closer to the ground."

The use of the term "compressional heating" is somewhere between wrong and confusing. For starters, it's not clear what is being compressed. I think the sentence is trying to say that the atmospheric pressure, experienced by the droplet of water, increases as the droplet falls, and that that implies that heating must be occurring. It certainly is true that atmospheric pressure is a function of altitude. But where is the heating? It could be argued that friction between the droplet and the atmosphere, as the droplet falls, is creating some heating. It is also true that atmosphereic temperature is a function of altitude. But that does not mean in itself that there is an active heating process going on. If there were, then the source of the heat has to be identified. I think the term "compressional heating" comes from a misunderstanding of adiabatic heating, which requires, in this case, the pressure to change in time (work done to the atmosphere), which it is not (unless you're considering a secondary effect- where the evaporating droplet cools the warm air through which it is passing, lowering its volume- now as a function of time- and a corresponding replacement of an air mass above the virga area, with its corresponding decrease in pressure). It takes a bit to think all this through, and I rather suspect that if someone actually reads through this and then comments on it, there will be an argument. But I think I've got it right. blackcloak (talk) 05:41, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

"Conversely, precipitation evaporating at high altitude can compressionally heat as it falls, and result in a gusty downburst which may substantially and rapidly warm the surface temperature. This fairly rare phenomenon, a heat burst, also tends to be of exceedingly dry air."

This is patently false as stated, although the author(s) is/are admittedly trying to grapple with some complicated phenomena that can be difficult to explain. Adiabatic heating OF THE AIR (not the precipitation) can and does take place in descending air in the lee of mountains and as a result of downdrafts caused by thunderstorms (although rarely noticed in thunderstorms, because of other phenomena operating in the other--cooling--direction). What is really false here, however, is the idea that precipitation heats as it falls as a result of adiabatic (or compression) effects. (Air, not precipitation, heats as it falls due to adiabatic effects.) What happens to falling precipitation is not simple. First of all, precipitation evaporates as it passes through dry air, taking heat out of the air as the evaporation occurs (in much the same way that evaporating water on the skin takes heat out of the skin). That is, evaporation as such is always a cooling process. This can result in further cooling of a cold air layer, as is seen when falling rain cools the air that it falls through, at times causing the air to drop sufficiently in temperature that it then freezes the precipitation, as in the case of sleet or freezing rain. In NO case does the evaporation cause the air to heat up, nor directly cause the falling precipitation to heat up. Second, falling precipitation through dry air always COOLS the air through evaporation, but the drop in altitude of the air itself causes heating OF THE AIR to occur due to adiabatic effects. Third, warming of the precipitation can occur due to conduction effects as the precipitation falls through hot air, typically associated with surface heating. The range of possibilities is indeed enormous as a result of these often countervailing effects: (1) adiabatic (pressure) effects, (2) evaporation qua cooling effects, and (3) conduction effects (which typically work to cool precipitation, but can in certain circumstances actually warm it). A warming downburst actually can occur due to a combination of forces--with adiabatic effects being typically the most important. The author(s) is/are on to something quite important here, but what is needed is a clearer differentiation between adiabatic effects and other effects. To complicate matters even more, two things are being affected: air and precipitation. Landrumkelly (talk) 04:49, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Cloud seeding
Virga also has a role in seeding storm cells whereby small particles from one cloud are blown into neighboring supersaturated air and act as nucleation particles for the next thunderhead cloud to begin forming.[citation needed]

Really? There is unlikely to be much horizontal movement of hydrometeors and, by definition, they have evaporated. The only references I can find to this phenomena are copies of this page. With no citation, I would be inclined to remove this paragraph. Jgb2 (talk) 13:26, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Reference to geographical extent of phenomena
The text implies that virga is limited to the western US and Canadian prairies, as well as a couple of other places in the world. I can tell you that I have regularly seen virga in every part of the US. It may be most common in the west, but it is very common everywhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.217.160 (talk) 14:51, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Sublimation?
In the first sentence of this article a 'Virga' is described as "an observable streak or shaft of precipitation falling from a cloud that evaporates or **sublimates** before reaching the ground". The wikipedia page for 'sublimation' states that "sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state". Now, as far as I am aware, clouds are a gaseous form of water, and liquid water evaporates into its gaseous (cloud) form - i.e. in the water cycle, water transforms between liquid and gas, and vice versa, with no intervening solid state (and thus no "transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state").

I have very little familiarity with meteorology or chemistry, so I would appreciate it if someone would tell me that the use of sublimation here is correct or not (and, if not, please amend the article appropriately by removing the word "sublimates".

Cheers

Skip Away

Skip Away (April 4, 1993 – May 14, 2010), was a champion American Thoroughbred racehorse who was the 1998 Horse of the Year, 1996 Champion Three-Year-Old, and 1997 and 1998 Champion Handicap Horse. He won 10 Grade One races for $9,616,360 in prize money.

Breeding
Bred by Anna Marie Barnhart, Skip Away was foaled and reared at Hilmer Schmidt's Indian Hill Farm in Florida. The son of Skip Trial, out of the Diplomat's Way mare Ingot Way, Skip Away was purchased for the modest sum of $30,000 at a two-year-olds in training sale in Ocala, Florida by Hall of Fame trainer Hubert "Sonny" Hine for his wife. Carolyn Hine had particularly wanted a gray horse because vision problems made it difficult for her to see any other kind on the race track.

Racing record
Skip Away won one of six starts as a two-year-old, placing in the Cowdin and Remsen Stakes at Belmont Park. His first stakes win came as a three-year-old, when he defeated eventual Preakness Stakes winner Louis Quatorze by six lengths in the Blue Grass Stakes while setting a new stakes record over a wet-fast track at Keeneland Race Course.

After an unaccountably poor performance in the Kentucky Derby, Skip Away finished second in both the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, losing the latter by a length to Editor's Note after a prolonged duel down the long stretch. He won the 1996 Haskell Invitational Handicap and in October of that year, he defeated Cigar, winner of 17 of his previous 18 races, in the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park. Seizing the lead entering the stretch, Skip Away won by a neck over the steadily closing champion.

Formal Gold defeated Skip Away in four of their six meetings in 1997. After Skip Away was soundly defeated as a four-year-old by Formal Gold in the Philip H. Iselin Breeders' Cup Handicap at Monmouth Park and in the Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park, he was given a new rider, Jerry Bailey, who replaced Shane Sellers. With Bailey at the reins, Skip Away adopted a new front-running style and won nine consecutive races, including a six-length victory in the 1997 Breeders' Cup Classic, contested that year at Hollywood Park Racetrack, setting a record time of 1:59:16 under another new rider, Mike Smith.

As a five-year-old, Skip Away won seven consecutive races including five Grade I events, such as the 1998 Pimlico Special, Hollywood Gold Cup, and Woodward Stakes. Although he failed to repeat his Breeders' Cup win at Churchill Downs, he was voted the Eclipse Award as both Champion Handicap Horse and Horse of the Year for 1998. He was retired to stud that fall with 18 wins and 34 in-the-money finishes from 38 career starts and earnings of $9,616,360.

Stud record
During his 12 years at stud, Skip Away sired 489 foals and from the nine crops of racing age, he had 21 stakes winners, who earned $19,424,552 His more notable offspring include Skipshot (Swaps Stakes), Skip Code (Grey Stakes), and Sister Swank (Valley View Stakes).

At age seventeen, Skip Away died of an apparent heart attack in his paddock on May 14, 2010 at Hopewell Farm in Midway, Kentucky. Skip Away is interred at Old Friends Farm in Georgetown, Kentucky.

Honors
Skip Away was inducted into National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2004. In the Blood-Horse magazine ranking of the top 100 U.S. Thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century, Skip Away was ranked No.32.

In 2001, Gulfstream Park Racetrack in Hallandale Beach, Florida honored Skip Away by renaming its Broward Handicap the Skip Away Handicap.

60 Andromedae

60 Andromedae (abbreviated 60 And) is a star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda, located to the west-northwest of Gamma Andromedae. 60 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation though the star also bears the Bayer designation b Andromedae. It is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82. Based upon parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, it is at a distance of roughly 530 ly from Earth.

This system is known to have three components. The primary is a giant star with a stellar classification of K3.5 III Ba0.4, meaning that an overabundance of barium ionized one time is observed in the spectrum of the star, making it a barium star. The secondary component is likely a white dwarf with a period of 748.2 days and an eccentricity of 0.34. There is a third component at an angular separation of 0.22 arcseconds.

22 Andromedae

22 Andromedae, abbreviated 22 And, is a single star in the constellation Andromeda. 22 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.04. The distance to 22 And can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of just $−8.2$, which shows it to be around 1,500 light years away. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −8.2 km/s.

This is a bright giant with a stellar classification of F5 II. Gray et al. (2001) classify it as F5 Ib–II metal-weak, with the metallic lines matching a class of F0 whereas hydrogen lines match an F5. It is around 62 million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 46. The star has six times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to about 17 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 1,436 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,270 km/s.

41 Andromedae

41 Andromedae is a single star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 41 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.04. Based upon an annual parallax shift of $9.5$, it is located 198 light years away. The star is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s and it has a relatively high rate of proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of $159.581$ per year.

The stellar classification for this star is A2IIIvs, matching an A-type giant star with narrow (sharp) absorption lines. Abt and Levy (1985) classed it as a kA2hA6mA6 star, which indicates the spectrum has the calcium K line of an A2 star, the hydrogen lines of an A6 star, and the metal lines of an A6 star. It is around 450 million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 84 km/s. The star has 2.27 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 29 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,511 K.

Stephen A. Mitchell (psychologist)

Stephen A. Mitchell (July 23, 1946 – December 21, 2000) was an American clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. His book with Jay Greenberg, Object Relations in Psychoanalytic Theory (1983), became a classic textbook in graduate schools and post-graduate institutions, providing a general overview and comparison of several psychoanalytic theories. He was considered a leader of relational psychoanalysis. Mitchell helped to create the Relational Track of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.

Biography
Stephen A. Mitchell was born on July 23, 1946, in Manhattan to Stanley Mitchell, an accountant, and Lilian, a legal secretary. Mitchell grew up in Ridgefield and later Bergenfield, New Jersey. His brother, Richard, was born when Stephen was five. The family was "Jewish, secular, and very involved in political and intellectual issues". Mitchell would excel at school and later go to Horace Mann High School in New York City, where his peer and future friend Thomas Ogden also studied.

Eventually, Mitchell entered Yale University and majored in an interdisciplinary honours program, "History: the Arts and Letters". He graduated summa cum laude, and subsequently trained as a clinical psychologist at the New York University doctoral program. He was trained as an analyst at the William Alanson White Institute from 1972 to 1977. His training analyst was Miltiades Zaphiropoulos.

After a first brief marriage, Mitchell married Margaret Black in 1976, who had been his internship colleague at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Together, they raised two daughters, Caitlin (b. 1983) and Samantha (b. 1986).

Mitchell died of heart failure at his home in Manhattan on December 21, 2000. His final book, published posthumously and entitled Can Love Last?, was an application of relational theory to love relationships.

Ideas
Object Relations in Psychoanalytic Theory distinguished between psychoanalytic theories that emphasize biological drives such as sexuality and aggression, on the one hand, and theories that emphasize human relationships, on the other. The former were referred to as drive/conflict theories, and the latter were termed relational/conflict theories. Mitchell and Greenberg argued that drive theories and relational theories are conceptually incompatible, and psychoanalysis must therefore choose between them. After their book, the ideas of Mitchell and Greenberg diverged. While Greenberg would go on to espouse the concept of the drive, Mitchell instead chose to develop a theory of relationality through engagements with Fairbairn, Loewald, and Bowlby. Mitchell recognized the importance of Greenberg's work, while keeping a critical distance to the latter.

Institution
Mitchell also established the international psychoanalytic journal, Psychoanalytic Dialogues in 1990 and served as one of its editors for the journal's first ten years from 1990 to 2000. After the publication of his first book, with Greenberg, he was in great demand, and taught his ideas across the United States, Europe, and Israel.

In addition to his scholarly contributions, Mitchell was also involved in political and institutional questions relating to psychoanalytic training and formation. He was instrumental in developing a number of psychoanalytic organizations, including the American Psychological Association's Division of Psychoanalysis, the Relational Track of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and a variety of other groups.

2 Andromedae

2 Andromedae, abbreviated 2 And, is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 2 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It is a faint star system but visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.09. Based upon an annual parallax shift of $2.1$, it is located 420 light years away. The binary nature of the star was discovered by American astronomer Sherburne Wesley Burnham at Lick Observatory in 1889. The pair orbit each other over a period of 74 years with a high eccentricity of 0.8.

The magnitude 5.26 primary, designated component A, is an A-type main-sequence star based on a stellar classification of A1V or A2V, although it may have already left the main sequence. It was identified as a candidate Lambda Boötis star, but this was ruled out by Paunzen et al. (2003) as it doesn't match the typical characteristics of these objects. Although 2 And does not display a significant infrared excess, it is a shell star that displays varying absorption features due to circumstellar dust grains. This may indicate it has an orbiting debris disk containing gas that is being viewed edge-on. The star is about 100 million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 212 km/s.

The magnitude 7.43 secondary companion, component B, is a suspected variable star and may be a Delta Scuti variable. Alternatively, it may be an ellipsoidal variable with a brown dwarf companion. It is an F-type main-sequence star with a class of F1V/F4.

Bardon, Queensland

Bardon is a western suburb of the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is located approximately 5.7 km north-west of the Brisbane CBD. Bardon is a leafy residential suburb, much of which nestles into the foothills of Mount Coot-tha. It includes the neighbourhood of Rainworth. In the, Bardon had a population of 10,153 people.

Geography
Bardon is located in the foothills on the eastern side of Mount Coot-tha, and is characterised by ridges separated by steep gullies. Some major streets generally follow the ridgelines, including Simpsons Road and Macgregor Terrace. The side streets connecting to these ridge-line roads are among Brisbane's steepest. Ithaca Creek, a tributary of Enoggera Creek, drains the eastern side of Mount Coot-tha and flows through the suburb in a generally north-easterly direction.

As at 2011, the suburb is characterised by stand-alone houses on separate lots, which make up 89% of the housing stock in Bardon.

Rainworth is a neighbourhood within the south-east of Bardon (-27.4667°N, 152.9833°W). Originally there was a house with large lands on Boundary Street, Rosalie (now Toowong), called "Rainworth" owned by Sir Augustus Charles Gregory, Surveyor-General of Queensland; it was named after the town of Rainworth near his birthplace in Nottinghamshire, England. After his death in 1905, the house and land were sold. In the 1918 and 1925 the land was sold off for housing. The Rainworth Estate comprises land between Boundary Road and Rainworth Road south to Birdwood Terrace (formerly Heussler Terrace) and includes the streets of Barton Street, Dudley Street, Nestor Street (now gone), Osman Street (then Margaret Street), Rouen Road, Runic Street, and Vimy Street. The name persists through a school and local businesses. Although to this day, this locality name seems to be in such common use that they may not be lost at all, as many residents still associate their residence locations with this former locality name.

Jubilee is a neighbourhood in the north-east of Bardon (-27.45°N, 152.9833°W). It takes its name from the Jubilee Township Estate, a land sale in 1887, which was the year of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Sold in two tranches, Jubilee is the land bounded by Jubilee Terrace, Coopers Camp Road and Ithaca Creek.

History
The suburb of Bardon was originally known as 'Upper Paddington', until it was defined then renamed by the Ithaca Town Council in 1925 after "Bardon", the villa built by Joshua Jeays in 1863 and named for Bardon Hill in his native Leicestershire, England. The house now forms part of the campus of St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, The Drive, Bardon. Ithaca Creek State School opened on 28 September 1885 under headmaster Robert Berry. The school had been built with an expectation of 50 students, but by the end of 1885 had 188 students in a single 6 by 15 m classroom.

In 1887, the Jubilee Township Estate was subdivided in the north-east of present-day Bardon.

St Bartholomew's Anglican church at 14 Simpsons Road (-27.45848°N, 152.98551°W) was dedicated on 26 August 1923 by Canon Garland. Its last service was held on 12 September 1985.

In June 1927, 25 allotments of "Wathana Estate" Upper Paddington were advertised to be auctioned by Isle, Love & Co. A map advertising the auction described the sites as "High and healthy with magnificent views" as well as being only six minutes from the Paddington Tram Terminus. Rainworth State School opened on 2 July 1928 with a timber building with eight classrooms (still in use).

The tram service was extended to Rainworth in 1930 with the Rainworth tram terminus outside the school (-27.4665°N, 152.9845°W).

In June 1929, 42 allotments of "Laurel Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by T. Ozanne & Co. A map advertising the auction states that the estate was handy to state and covent schools and that electric light, gas and water were available at the sites.

In January 1937, the tram service was extended to Bardon with the Bardon tram terminus on the junction of Simpsons Road and Morgan Terrace (-27.4593°N, 152.9759°W).

In 1937, St Mary's Magdalene Anglican Church was built an 80 Boundary Road, Rainworth (-27.465°N, 152.9827°W), and dedicated by Archbishop William Wand on Sunday 15 August 1937. In 1964 a new St Mary's Magdalene Anglican Church was built on the same site with the 1937 church becoming the church hall. The new St Mary Magdalene's was dedicated by Archbishop Administrator John Hudson. The church closed circa 2010 due to a decline in attendance and was approved by Archbishop Philip Aspinall. The church and hall were sold in November 2011 for $805,000. Since 2012 the building has been operated by non-for-profit Magda Community Artz as a local venue for artistic pursuits, known as Magda's. St Joseph's Catholic School was established by the Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception Australia

on 24 January 1938 with 31 students in one class. The Sisters were living in Bardon House. Initially, the school was conducted in the parish church (still in use as a school building). A new school building was constructed at a cost of £507 provided by an anonymous benefactor; it was officially opened by Archbishop James Duhig on Sunday 29 January 1939.

Bardon Infants School opened on 27 January 1948, becoming Bardon State School in 1958.

Brisbane's tram network was shut down on Sunday 13 April 1969. Some heritage-listed tram waiting sheds remain include one opposite 136 Boundary Road.

St Mary's Anglican Church in West Bardon was dedicated in 1962 and consecrated in 1975.

28 Andromedae

28 Andromedae (abbreviated 28 And) is a Delta Scuti variable star in the constellation Andromeda. 28 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It also bears the variable star name GN Andromedae. Its apparent magnitude is 5.214, varying by less than 0.1 magnitudes.

Description
28 Andromedae is an A-type giant star, meaning it is colored bluish-white. Parallax estimates made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put the star at a distance of about 199 light years (61 parsecs). It is moving towards the solar system at a velocity of $44.983$.

Multiplicity of the system
Two stars near 28 Andromedae share a common proper motion with the primary star, which is then a candidate triple system. The orbital parameters are currently unknown. The second and third component have masses of and  respectively.

Variability cycle
28 Andromedae A is a Delta Scuti variable, so it displays small luminosity variations at timescales less than a day due to star pulsation. There is evidence for two periodic cycles of 5,014 and 5,900 seconds, respectively. The amplitude variations, though, are not constant in time, and the pulsation modes are not radial.

14 Andromedae

14 Andromedae, abbreviated 14 And, also named Veritate, is a single, orange-hued giant star situated approximately 247 light-years away in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.22. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −60 km/s. In 2008 an extrasolar planet (designated 14 Andromedae b, later named Spe) was discovered to be orbiting the star.

This is a red clump giant with a stellar classification of K0 III, indicating it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through helium fusion at its core. The star has 1.12 (or 2.2 ) times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 10.5 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 60.3 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,743 K.

Nomenclature
14 Andromedae is the star's Flamsteed designation. Following its discovery the planet was designated 14 Andromedae b.

In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union launched NameExoWorlds, a process for giving proper names to certain exoplanets and their host stars. The process involved public nomination and voting for the new names. In December 2015, the IAU announced the winning names were Veritate for this star and Spe for its planet.

The winning names were based on those submitted by the Thunder Bay Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada ); namely 'Veritas' and 'Spes', Latin for 'truth' and 'hope', respectively. (Veritas was also the Roman goddess of truth and Spes was the Roman goddess of hope.) The IAU substituted the ablative forms 'Veritate' and 'Spe', which mean 'where there is truth' and 'where there is hope', respectively. This was because 'Veritas' is the name of an asteroid important for the study of the solar system.

In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. In its first bulletin of July 2016, the WGSN explicitly recognized the names of exoplanets and their host stars approved by the Executive Committee Working Group Public Naming of Planets and Planetary Satellites, including the names of stars adopted during the 2015 NameExoWorlds campaign. This star is now so entered in the IAU Catalog of Star Names.

Planetary system
In 2008, a planet was announced to be orbiting the star. The planet was found to have a minimum mass of 4.8 Jupiter masses and to be orbiting in a circular orbit that takes 186 days to complete. The planet is one of the few known planets to be orbiting an evolved intermediate-mass star and one of the innermost (such planets have only been discovered around clump giants).

Photos
Hi. Buried somewhere in the Iraq War talk archives are various discussions on photos. The photo in question makes sense in its current location because there is no room for it in the infobox where the coalition casualties are located. In the casualties section farther down in the article there is reference made to coalition casualties too. It points to the infobox and to the main casualties article. Everything in that Iraq War article gets shrunk down oftentimes to a sentence, or a few sentences. Then links are provided to many other longer articles on the many various related topics. So the coffins photo is in the most logical place in the article. Coffins photos are important to USA readers, because getting photos of them arriving was very difficult at times. I am glad you copied over that photo you added, too. --Timeshifter 17:44, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
