IOAA 2014, Теория, предварителен вариант — Задача 13. Stars with Romanian names
8th International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics, Suceava - Gura Humorului - August 2014 — THEORETICAL TEST, 15 short problems
Indications
- The problems were elaborated concerning two aspects: a) To cover merely all the subjects from the syllabus;
b) The average time for solving the items is about 15 minutes per a short problem; - In your folder you will find out the following: a) Answer sheets

PLEASE WRITE ONLY ON THE PRINTED SIDE OF THE PAPER SHEET. DON’T USE THE REVERSE SIDE. The evaluator will not take into account what is written on the reverse of the answer sheet.
- The draft sheets is for your own use to try calculation, write some numbers etc. BEWARE: These papers are not taken into account in evaluation, at the end of the test they will be collected separately . Everything you consider as part of the solutions have to be written on the answer sheets.
- Each problem have to be started on a new distinct answer sheet.
- On each answer sheet please fill in the designated boxes as follows: a) In PROBLEM NO. box write down only the number of the problem: i.e. 1 – 15 for short problems, 16 – 19 for long problems. Each sheet containing the solutions of a certain problem, should have in the box the number of the problem;
b) In Student ID – fill in your ID you will find on your envelope, consisted of 3 letters and 2 digits.
c) In page no. box you will fill in the number of page, starting from 1. We advise you to fill this boxes after you finish the test - We don’t understand your language, but the mathematic language is universal, so use as more relationships as you think that your solution will be better understand by the evaluator.

Условие
Two Romanian astronomers Ovidiu Tercu and Alex Dumitriu from The Astronomical Observatory of the Museum Complex of Natural Sciences in Galati Romania, recently discovered – in September 2013- two variable stars. They used for that a telescope with the main mirror diameter of 40 cm and a SBIG STL-6303e CCD camera.
With the accord of the AAVSO (American Association of Variable Stars Observers), the two stars have now Romanian names: Galati V1 and respectively Galati V2. The two stars are circumpolar, located in Cassiopeia and respectively in Andromeda constellation. The two stars are visible above the horizon, form the territory of Romania, all over the year. The galactic coordinates of the two stars are: and .
Another star, discovered by the Romanian astronomer Nicolas Sanduleak, has also a Romanian name – Sanduleak -69° 202; it explodes as the supernova SN 1987. This star was localized in the Dorado constellation from the Large Magellan Cloud, by the coordinates:
Estimate the angular distance between the stars Galati V1 and Galati V2.
Отговори
4.94 °
The official solution gives and by the two equivalent formulas.

Problem 13. Marking scheme Stars with Romanian names
- Correct geometrical calculations — 5 points
- Correct calculations — 5 points
In the figure bellow the two stars and , are located using the galactic coordinates and respectively .on the geocentric celestial sphere. The spherical triangles and respectively may be considered rectangular plane triangles because the angles and respectively are very small
Thus:
or:

Where is the angular distance between two stars
The angular distance between Galați V1 and Galați V2.
