A Dissident Liberal: The Political Writings of Peter Baume
No full textIn the ‘broad church’ of the Australian Liberal Party, rarely has there been a maverick so unrelenting in his commitment to personal principles as Senator Peter Baume. Over a parliamentary career spanning 17 years, three ministerial portfolios and five party leaders, Baume was increasingly pitted against his own party room.
In A Dissident Liberal: The Political Writings of Peter Baume, we learn of personal threats, crises, constitutional confrontation and the tension between conservatism and classical liberalism—and between ideology and toeing the party line. This collection of personal observations, speeches and commentaries on contentious policy issues presents a valuable resource for students of Australian political history

The old open clusters Saurer A, B and C revisited
Get PDFWe report deep (V ≈ 24.0) VI CCD photometry of three fields centred in the regions of the old open clusters Saurer A, B and C. In the case of Saurer A, which is considered one of the oldest known open clusters, we also provide a comparison field. From the analysis of the photometry we claim that Saurer A is as old as M67 (≈5 Gyr), but more metal-poor (Z = 0.008). Moreover, it turns out to be the open cluster with the largest galactocentric distance so far detected. As for Saurer B, it closely resembles NGC 2158, and indeed is of intermediate age (1.8-2.2 Gyr) and significantly reddened. In this case we revise both the age and the distance with respect to previous studies, but we are not able to establish clearly the cluster metal abundance. Finally, Saurer C has an age of about 2 Gyr, but we emphasize that the precise determination of its properties is hampered by the heavy field star contamination. All of the photometry is available at the WEBDA data base: http://obswww.unige.ch/webda/navigation.html.Fil: Carraro, Giovanni. Università di Padova; ItaliaFil: Baume, Gustavo Luis.

The anticentre old open cluster NGC 1883: radial velocity and metallicity
Get PDFHaving already reported on the first photometric study of the intermediate-age open cluster NGC 1883, in this paper we present the first spectroscopic multi-epoch investigation of a sample of evolved stars in the same cluster. The aim is to derive the cluster membership, velocity and metallicity, and to discuss recent claims in the literature that NGC 1883 is as metal-poor as globular clusters in the halo. Besides, as it is one of the few outer Galactic disc intermediate-age open clusters known so far, it is an ideal target to improve our knowledge of the Galactic disc radial abundance gradient, which is a basic ingredient for any chemical evolution model of the Milky Way. The new data we have obtained allow us to make the basic parameters of NGC 1883 more reliable. We find that the cluster has a mean metallicity of [Fe/H] = −0.20 ± 0.22, from which we infer an age (650+70 −70 Myr) close to that of Hyades and a Galactocentric distance of 12.3+0.4 −0.2 kpc. The metal abundance, kinematics and position make NGC 1883 a genuine outer disc intermediate-age open cluster. We confirm that in the outer Galactic disc the abundance gradient is shallower than in the solar vicinity.Fil: Villanova, S.. Università di Padova; ItaliaFil: Baume, Gustavo Luis.

A study of the Galactic plane towardsl= 305°
Get PDFWe present optical (UBVIC) observations of a rich and complex field in the Galactic plane towards l ~ 305° and b ~ 0°. Our analysis reveals a significantly high interstellar absorption (AV ~ 10) and an abnormal extinction law in this line of sight. Availing a considerable number of colour combinations, the photometric diagrams allow us to derive new estimates of the fundamental parameters of the two open clusters Danks 1 and Danks 2. Due to the derived abnormal reddening law in this line of sight, both clusters appear much closer (to the Sun) than previously thought. Additionally, we present the optical colours and magnitudes of the WR 48a star, and its main parameters were estimated. The properties of the two embedded clusters, DBS2003 130 and 131, are also addressed. We identify a number of young stellar objects which are probable members of these clusters. This new material is then used to revisit the spiral structure in this sector of the Galaxy showing evidence of populations associated with the inner Galaxy Scutum-Crux arm.Fil: Baume, Gustavo Luis.

NGC 1883: a neglected intermediate-age open cluster located in the outskirts of the Galactic disc
Get PDFWe report on BVI CCD photometry of a field centred in the region of the open cluster NGC 1883, down to V= 21. This cluster has never been studied so far; we provide, for the first time, estimates of its fundamental parameters - namely radial extent, age, distance and reddening. We find that the cluster has a radius of about 2.5 arcmin, and shows signatures of dynamical relaxation. NGC 1883 is located in the anticentre direction, and exhibits a reddening in the range E(B-V) = 0.23-0.35, depending on the metal abundance. It turns out to be of intermediate age (1 Gyr old), and is quite distant for an open cluster. In fact, it is located 4.8 kpc from the Sun, and more than 13 kpc from the Galactic centre. This results makes NGC 1883 one of the most peripheral old open clusters, with important consequences for the trend of the metallicity with distance in the outer Galactic disc.Fil: Carraro, Giovanni.
