Recommendations for Change at Red Star An Analysis of the Haier Group (A) Case As Haier Group looks to Acquire Red Star, Zhang Ruimin must consider the strategy for change that he must implement. While the changes that need to be made may be obvious on the surface, the method he chooses to invoke change is critical to the initiative’s success. Zhang faces an organization that has suffered years of poor management, where no motivation exists throughout the business. Careful consideration

planet is 2 times the distance of planet Y from its planet. Which planet has more Mass? PLANET X 3. The Earth’s average density is 5.5 kg/L. A planet discovered orbiting another star has an average density of 3.2 kg/L. What does this tell us about this planet? e. The planet must be farther from the star than Earth. f. The planet must have a smaller mass than the Earth, so the mass per Liter is less. g. The planet must be made of a higher proportion of gases and ices than

A star is a luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Other stars, mostly in the Milky Way, are visible from Earth during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points in the sky due to their immense distance from Earth. Historically, the most prominent stars were grouped into constellations and asterisms, and the brightest stars gained proper names. Extensive catalogues of stars have been assembled by astronomers, which provide

of a star, based on how bright it appears is its apparent magnitude. The difference of four magnitudes corresponds to a brightness change (factor) of 40 times. Star A has an apparent magnitude of 2.6, star B 3.2, star C 1.7, star D 2.6, and star E -1.7. Which star appears to be the brightest? Star E Star A has an apparent magnitude of -0.7, and star B has an apparent magnitude of 10.3. What is the magnitude difference between these stars? 11 What is the brightness factor between these stars A and

Submission Template 1. Stellar Parallax: When you launch the simulator it should come up like this: Then click: Specify a catalog and chose 30 bright stars from the drop down menu and then also check, “specify a star”. Your screen now looks like this: You are to select two stars for this exercise – GL171.1 and GL 244. Upon selecting a star, click on step 2 - Measure Stellar Parallax to get this measuring screen – every 6 months a measurement is made and plotted in what is called “Error Histogram”

A Scientific Biography of Cecilia Payne: Women in Astronomy When someone mentions some of the famous astronomers, what we always hear are names like Isaac Newton, Edwin Hubble or Harlow Shapely. However, there was actually one name among the 20th century astronomers that did occasionally come up, separated itself from the mainstream, and broke down the major barriers of sciences. That is the name of Cecilia Payne, who succeeded in working with the astrophysics of stellar composition.

Famous Stars in our Galaxy There are about 300 billion different stars in our galaxy. All of which contain different history, characteristics and general information. They each contain their own story of how they came about. Many of these stars are a part of a certain constellation and have been around for billions of years. Polaris is one the best known stars. (“How Do Stars Form,” n.d.) This star is known by many names like the North or Pole Star. Polaris has not always been the North Star and

since exoplanets, or planets around stars other than the sun, were discovered almost 20 years ago, X-ray observations have detected an exoplanet passing in front of its parent star. An advantageous alignment of a planet and its parent star in the system HD 189733, which is 63 light-years from Earth, enabled NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency’s XMM Newton Observatory to observe a dip in X-ray intensity as the planet transited the star. "Thousands of planet candidates
