A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade. The Large Synoptic…
THE DISTANCE TO THE CRAB NEBULA AND NP 0532
- V. Trimble
- Physics
- 1 October 1973
Twelve lines of evidence bearing on the determination of the distance to the Crab nebula and NP 0532 are discussed. Some of these depend on the dynamics of the nebular expansion, some on physical…
Motions and Structure of the Filamentary Envelope of the Crab Nebula
- V. Trimble
- Physics
- 1 September 1968
Proper motions have been measured for 132 line-emitting filaments in the Crab Nebula on direct plates taken with the 100 and 200-inch telescopes. These motions, if assumed constant and extrapolated…
A Chandra Search for Coronal X-Rays from the Cool White Dwarf GD 356
- M. Weisskopf, Kinwah Wu, C. Kouveliotou
- Physics
- 20 September 2006
We report observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the single, cool, magnetic white dwarf GD 356. For consistent comparison with other X-ray observations of single white dwarfs, we also…
Existence and Nature of Dark Matter in the Universe
- V. Trimble
- Physics
- 1987
This chapter discusses the detection of nonluminous matter from its gravitational effects from studies of astrometric and single-line spectroscopic binaries and the results were taken much more seriously by contemporary and succeeding astronomers than the results of Oort and Zwicky.
The distributions of binary system mass ratios: a less biased sample

The origin and abundances of the chemical elements revisited
- V. Trimble
- Physics
- 1 October 1975
SummaryThe basic scheme of nucleosynthesis (building of heavy elements from light ones) has held up very well since it was first proposed more than 30 years ago by E.M. Burbidge, G.R. Burbidge,…
Scaling laws in the distribution of galaxies
- B. Jones, V. Martínez, E. Saar, V. Trimble
- Physics
- 3 June 2004
Past surveys have revealed that the large-scale distribution of galaxies in the universe is far from random: it is highly structured over a vast range of scales. Surveys being currently undertaken…
