Theoretical round. Problems to solve · 8 ноември 2009 г.
Бележка
Maybe not all problems have correct questions. Some questions (maybe the main question of the problem, maybe one of the subquestions) may have no real sense. In this case you have to write in your answer (in English or Russian): “impossible situation – ситуация невозможна”. Of course, this answer has to be explained numerically or logically.
Data from the table of planetary data may be used for solving every problem.
The answers «Да-Yes» or «Нет-No» has to be written in English or Russian.
Note for jury and team leaders.
The proposed sketches are not full: the team leaders have to give more detailed explanations for students. But the correct solutions in the students’ papers (enough for 8 pts) may be shorter.

Бележки от източника
The original two-up official key photographs clip some right-hand line endings. Ellipses mark those unreadable endings; visible formulae and printed numerical values are retained. The reference table gives the Eris period as 204862 days, whereas the key uses 204852 days. Original inline slash notation is retained in the key. The photographed alpha masthead is cropped, but the original filename and distinct alpha tasks in the official key establish its group.
Условие
It is known that the so called “Dog Star” (Sirius) is the brightest star in the Chinese sky. And in what else districts on the Earth Sirius is also the brightest star in the real sky of this district? What are numerical characteristics of the borders of these districts? Note: you should take into account only stars in their historical-classical meaning, i.e. Sun, planets, etc. should not be taken into account.
Решение
Sirius is the brightest star (in historical-classical meaning of a star) on the Earth's sky. Therefore in a first approximation it will be the brightest star in those districts on the Earth where it is visible, that is, at least sometimes appears over horizon. As the declination of Sirius is , it will be visible in all southern hemisphere, and also in northern hemisphere at latitudes not nearer to the pole, that is, at latitudes not higher North. Theoretically, in the second approximation refraction may be taken into account ( at horizon). With the refraction Sirius can be above horizon at districts till latitudes of North. But refraction doesn't matter for our goal. There is a talk about real (not theoretical) sky in the text.
In the third approximation light absorption should be taken into account. It is obvious that Vega or Arcturus in high sky essentially are more bright than Sirius at horizon. Heights on which Sirius becomes weaker than Vega or Arcturus may be roughly estimated as . Thus, Sirius is the brightest star in the sky for districts to the south from the latitudes of North.
Note for jury: the solution without a correct mention of refraction (that is, without mentions that it not effected here) should be estimated with a deduction of 0.5 points. Values are approximate, it is important the understanding of the effect and a correct order of this height.
