# 1051 Merope

1051 Merope /ˈmɛrəpiː/ is a dark Alauda asteroid from the outermost region of the asteroid belt, approximately 68 kilometers (42 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 16 September 1925, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory in Heidelberg, Germany, and given the provisional designation 1925 SA. Reinmuth named it after the nymph Merope from Greek mythology. The asteroid has a rotation period of 27.2 hours.

## Orbit and classification

Merope is a member of the Alauda family (902), a large family of carbonaceous asteroids and named after its parent body, 702 Alauda.$^{:23}$
It orbits the Sun in the outermost asteroid belt at a distance of 2.9–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 9 months (2,105 days; semi-major axis of 3.21 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 24° with respect to the ecliptic.
The asteroid was first observed as A908 TE at Taunton Observatory (803) in October 1908. The body's observation arc begins at Heidelberg in October 1925, or three weeks after its official discovery observation.

## Physical characteristics

Merope has been characterized as a primitive P-type asteroid by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), and as a common carbonaceous C-type asteroid by Pan-STARRS' photometric survey.

### Rotation period

In March 2009, a rotational lightcurve of Merope was obtained from photometric observations by astronomers at the Oakley Southern Sky Observatory in Australia. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 27.2 hours with a brightness variation of 0.20 magnitude (U=2). In October 2012, astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California measured a period 13.717 hours with an amplitude of 0.11 magnitude in the R-band (U=2), which seems to be an alternative period solution (1:2 alias) of what the Australian astronomers had previously measured. Previous observations by Gino Farroni and by Federico Manzini from 2004 and 2005, respectively, have been provisional and of poor quality (U=1/1).

### Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's WISE telescope, Merope measures between 60.439 and 74.36 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.03 and 0.053.
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0358 and a diameter of 67.11 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.1.

## Naming

This minor planet was named after the nymph Merope from Greek mythology. She is one of the seven Pleiades, daughters of the Titan Atlas and the sea-nymph Pleione (AN229;297). The star Merope in the Pleiades star cluster is named for the same.

# Fanshawe Dam

Fanshawe Dam is a dam located on North Thames River near the eastern edge of London, Ontario. The crest of the dam is 625 metres long. It is 30.5 metres in height and drops the river surface 12 metres. Fanshawe Lake is the reservoir created by the dam. The hydroelectric generator of the Fanshawe Dam generates enough power to run 400 households. It is one of three dams on the Thames River and its tributaries.
After repeated floods, the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority built the dam to control the level of the Thames River; construction began in 1950 and completed in 1952. It cost $5 million - Federal government 37.5%, Provincial government 37.5%, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority 25% (95% from City of London, Ontario, 5% from London Township). A seismograph is placed inside the dam by the University of Western Ontario’s geology department.

# Avon, Seine-et-Marne

Avon (French: ) is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France.

## Geography

Avon and Fontainebleau, together with three other smaller communes, form an urban area of 36,713 inhabitants. The two towns share a common boundary, whereas other miscellaneous smaller villages are scattered around in the forest that surrounds them (one of the largest in France). Avon is built between two hills; one of them, known as the Butte Montceau, supports the homonymous neighbourhood, made of small blocks and houses; on the opposite one is built the Fougères neighbourhood, consisting of larger buildings. The rest of the town consists mainly of small houses, in the neighbourhoods of La Vallée and Vieil Avon. As previously said, the town is nested in the Fontainebleau forest; it is bordered on one side by the Seine river, crossed over by the Pont de Valvins.

## Demographics

The inhabitants are called the Avonnais.

## Places of interest

The main attraction in the town is the old, Romanesque church of St. Pierre, where the 18th-century French mathematician Étienne Bézout was buried. Another historically relevant place is the Prieuré des Basses Loges, where Georges Gurdjieff lived and taught in the early twenties; he is buried in the town cemetery, along with writer Katherine Mansfield who died of tuberculosis while attending his teachings.

## Transportation

Avon is served by the Fontainebleau-Avon station on the Transilien Paris – Lyon.
# Ann, Missouri

Ann is a historic town in Douglas County, Missouri, United States. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place. The townsite is located at the junction of state routes EE and AD in the northeast corner of the county. The North Fork River lies just to the east of the site.
A post office called Ann was established in 1898, and remained in operation until 1915. An early postmaster gave the community the name of his daughter.
# Eprhopalotus

Eprhopalotus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. Their distribution varies between species but ranges from Costa Rica, Mexico to Texas. There are currently 5 species of Eprhopalotus:
* Eprhopalotus canaliculat Hansson, 2004
* Eprhopalotus cordylatus Hansson, 2004
* Eprhopalotus crinitus Hansson, 2004
* Eprhopalotus hansoni Hansson, 2004
* Eprhopalotus purpureithorax Girault, 1916
While Aabacharis is a synonym of Eprhopalotus, it applies in particular when referring to the species hansoni; hence it has been sourced as both Aabacharis hansoni and Eprhopalotus hansoni.

In 1887 she married Johann Heinrich (Henri) Kernkamp, from Edam, Netherlands. She started painting after the wedding and thus signed her work "Anny Kernkamp". As a result of her painting Anna suffered from an eye disease, which forced her to stop painting around 1913. She died on 9 February 1947 in Brasschaat.

## Work

Anna Kernkamp painted still lifes and landscapes in an Impressionistic style. She was a member of the Mechelen artist association "De Distel". She described her work as "open air impressionism". During her life, Anna exhibited several times, a.o. in Liège (1902), Antwerp (1904, 1908) and Athens (1904, where she received an international prize).

# Augusto Bedacarratz

Frigate Captain Augusto Bedacarratz is an Argentina naval aviator who led the mission on 4 May 1982 that sank HMS Sheffield during the Falklands War using the Exocet AM.39 anti-ship missile. It was the first sinking of a Royal Navy ship in four decades.

## Early life

He was born in Villa Maza, but moved to Macachín, La Pampa Province when he was a child. He lived and studied there until secondary school, . Then he moved to the Buenos Aires province where he attended high-school at Euskal-Echea college in Llavallol. Currently, he lives there but visits Macachín frequently because he has a country farm and friends there. The airclub of Macachín was called "Augusto Bedacarratz" in honor of him.

## Career

He joined the Argentine Naval Academy, graduating first in his class in 1965.

### Attack on HMS Sheffield

On 4 May 1982, an Argentine scout plane located Sheffield. Bedacarratz and Lieutenant Armando Mayora were the two pilots on duty in the Search and Attack Naval Squadron, and were ordered to take off. Neither pilot had fired an Exocet missile before. The two Super Etendard planes detected Sheffield, out of sight, from 20 miles away. Four seconds after Bedacarratz pressed the release button, the Exocet left his aircraft. Lieutenant Mayora, after seeing the Exocet launch, fired his own Exocet.
Afterward, both aircraft turned home for their base, but flew at 15 metres above the sea in the direction of the Antarctic to confuse the Royal Navy. Sheffield was with HMS Coventry and HMS Glasgow. The two approaching aircraft had been picked up by Glasgow; Sheffield was twenty miles away at the time and its operations room was not fully staffed so that not everything Glasgow sent was received by Sheffield. At the time, Sheffield was sending a message back to Britain via satellite, meaning that it could not see anything on its radar. There were 281 on board, and 20 sailors were killed, with 26 injured.
Bedacarratz retired from the Argentine Navy in 1991, with over 3,500 military flying hours and 200 carrier landings.

## Personal life

He has two daughters, a son and three granddaughters.
