UV irradiation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ices: production of alcohols, quinones, and ethers. (1/47)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water ice were exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation under astrophysical conditions, and the products were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Peripheral carbon atoms were oxidized, producing aromatic alcohols, ketones, and ethers, and reduced, producing partially hydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, molecules that account for the interstellar 3.4-micrometer emission feature. These classes of compounds are all present in carbonaceous meteorites. Hydrogen and deuterium atoms exchange readily between the PAHs and the ice, which may explain the deuterium enrichments found in certain meteoritic molecules. This work has important implications for extraterrestrial organics in biogenesis.  (+info)

Condensation of carbon in radioactive supernova gas. (2/47)

Chemistry resulting in the formation of large carbon-bearing molecules and dust in the interior of an expanding supernova was explored, and the equations governing their abundances were solved numerically. Carbon dust condenses from initially gaseous carbon and oxygen atoms because energetic electrons produced by radioactivity in the supernova cause dissociation of the carbon monoxide molecules, which would otherwise form and limit the supply of carbon atoms. The resulting free carbon atoms enable carbon dust to grow faster by carbon association than the rate at which the dust can be destroyed by oxidation. The origin of presolar micrometer-sized carbon solids that are found in meteorites is thereby altered.  (+info)

In search of planets and life around other stars. (3/47)

The discovery of over a dozen low-mass companions to nearby stars has intensified scientific and public interest in a longer term search for habitable planets like our own. However, the nature of the detected companions, and in particular whether they resemble Jupiter in properties and origin, remains undetermined.  (+info)

Black holes in the milky way galaxy. (4/47)

Extremely strong observational evidence has recently been found for the presence of black holes orbiting a few relatively normal stars in our Milky Way Galaxy and also at the centers of some galaxies. The former generally have masses of 4-16 times the mass of the sun, whereas the latter are "supermassive black holes" with millions to billions of solar masses. The evidence for a supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy is especially strong.  (+info)

Is redshift-dependent evolution of galaxies a theoretical artifact? (5/47)

The physical validity of the hypothesis of (redshift-dependent) luminosity evolution in galaxies is tested by statistical analysis of an intensively studied complete high-redshift sample of normal galaxies. The necessity of the evolution hypothesis in the frame of big-bang cosmology is confirmed at a high level of statistical significance; however, this evolution is quantitatively just as predicted by chronometric cosmology, in which there is no such evolution. Since there is no direct observational means to establish the evolution postulated in big-bang studies of higher-redshift galaxies, and the chronometric predictions involve no adjustable parameters (in contrast to the two in big-bang cosmology), the hypothesized evolution appears from the standpoint of conservative scientific methodology as a possible theoretical artifact.  (+info)

Neutrinos. (6/47)

Neutrinos represent a new "window" to the Universe, spanning a large range of energy. We discuss the science of neutrino astrophysics and focus on two energy regimes. At "lower" energies ( approximately 1 MeV), studies of neutrinos born inside the sun, or produced in interactions of cosmic rays with the atmosphere, have allowed the first incontrovertible evidence that neutrinos have mass. At energies typically one thousand to one million times higher, sources further than the sun (both within the Milky Way and beyond) are expected to produce a flux of particles that can be detected only through neutrinos.  (+info)

Titanium carbide nanocrystals in circumstellar environments. (7/47)

Meteorites contain micrometer-sized graphite grains with embedded titanium carbide grains. Although isotopic analysis identifies asymptotic giant branch stars as the birth sites of these grains, there is no direct observational identification of these grains in astronomical sources. We report that infrared wavelength spectra of gas-phase titanium carbide nanocrystals derived in the laboratory show a prominent feature at a wavelength of 20.1 micrometers, which compares well to a similar feature in observed spectra of postasymptotic giant branch stars. It is concluded that titanium carbide forms during a short (approximately 100 years) phase of catastrophic mass loss (>0.001 solar masses per year) in dying, low-mass stars.  (+info)

Windows through the dusty disks surrounding the youngest low-mass protostellar objects. (8/47)

The formation and evolution of young low-mass stars are characterized by important processes of mass loss and accretion occurring in the innermost regions of their placentary circumstellar disks. Because of the large obscuration of these disks at optical and infrared wavelengths in the early protostellar stages (class 0 sources), they were previously detected only at radio wavelengths using interferometric techniques. We have detected with the Infrared Space Observatory the mid-infrared (mid-IR) emission associated with the class 0 protostar VLA1 in the HH1-HH2 region located in the Orion nebula. The emission arises in three wavelength windows (at 5. 3, 6.6, and 7.5 micrometers) where the absorption due to ices and silicates has a local minimum that exposes the central part of the young protostellar system to mid-IR investigations. The mid-IR emission arises from a central source with a diameter of 4 astronomical units at an averaged temperature of approximately 700 K, deeply embedded in a dense region with a visual extinction of 80 to 100 magnitudes.  (+info)

We studied 14 presolar SiC mainstream grains for C-, Si-, and S-isotopic compositions and S elemental abundances. Ten grains have low levels of S contamination and CI chondrite-normalized S/Si ratios between 2 × 10−5 and 2 × 10−4. All grains have S-isotopic compositions compatible within 2σ of solar values. Their mean S isotope composition deviates from solar by at most a few percent, and is consistent with values observed for the carbon star IRC+10216, believed to be a representative source star of the grains, and the interstellar medium. The isotopic data are also consistent with stellar model predictions of low-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In a δ33S versus δ34S plot the data fit along a line with a slope of 1.8 ± 0.7, suggesting imprints from galactic chemical evolution. The observed S abundances are lower than expected from equilibrium condensation of CaS in solid solution with SiC under pressure and temperature conditions inferred from the abundances of more ...

An intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) is a hypothetical class of black hole with mass in the range 100 to one million[citation needed] solar masses: significantly more than stellar black holes but less than supermassive black holes. There is as yet no unambiguous detection of an IMBH, but the indirect evidence from various directions is promising. The strongest evidence for IMBHs comes from a few low-luminosity active galactic nuclei. Due to their activity, these galaxies almost certainly contain accreting black holes, and in some case the black hole masses can be estimated using the technique of reverberation mapping. For instance, the spiral galaxy NGC 4395 at a distance of about 4 Mpc appears to contain a black hole with mass of about 3.6×105 solar masses.[relevant? - discuss] Some ultra-luminous X ray sources (ULXs) in nearby galaxies are suspected to be IMBHs, with masses of a hundred to a thousand solar masses. The ULXs are observed in star-forming regions (e.g., in starburst galaxy ...
ADC_Keywords: Stars, S ; Mass loss ; Masers ; Photometry, infrared Keywords: stars: mass-loss - stars: AGB - stars: late-type - infrared: stars - radio lines: stars Abstract: It is the purpose of this paper to rediscuss the circumstellar properties of S stars and to put these properties in perspective with our current understanding of the evolutionary status of S stars, in particular the intrinsic/extrinsic dichotomy. This dichotomy states that only Tc-rich (intrinsic) S stars are genuine thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars, possibly involved in the M-S-C evolutionary sequence. Tc-poor S stars are referred to as extrinsic S stars, because they are the cooler analogs of barium stars, and like them, owe their chemical peculiarities to mass transfer across their binary system. Accordingly, an extensive data set probing the circumstellar environment of S stars (IRAS flux densities, maser emission, CO rotational lines) has been collected and critically evaluated. This data set ...
We present spectral and photometric observations of 10 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the redshift range 0.16 <= z <= 0.62. The luminosity distances of these objects are determined by methods that employ relations between SN Ia luminosity and light curve shape. Combined with previous data from our High-z Supernova Search Team and recent results by Riess et al., this expanded set of 16 high-redshift supernovae and a set of 34 nearby supernovae are used to place constraints on the following cosmological parameters: the Hubble constant (H_0), the mass density (Omega_M), the cosmological constant (i.e., the vacuum energy density, Omega_Lambda), the deceleration parameter (q_0), and the dynamical age of the universe (t_0). The distances of the high-redshift SNe Ia are, on average, 10%-15% farther than expected in a low mass density (Omega_M = 0.2) universe without a cosmological constant. Different light curve fitting methods, SN Ia subsamples, and prior constraints unanimously favor eternally
Black holes are an important area of research for theoretical physics as the behavior of the strong gravitational fields near the singularity of a black hole likely involve both gravitational and quantum effects. Understanding the behavior and properties of black holes tackles the ultimate goal of theoretical physics, unifying all known physical forces into a single theory. Recently, there has been much work done in understanding the thermodynamics of black holes, relating the properties of black holes to the laws of thermodynamics as well as understanding the concepts of information and entropy in the case of black holes. Considering black hole thermodynamics puts quantum effects and classical gravity in discussion with each other, as quantum field theory based descriptions of the Standard Model interactions on a curved spacetime around a black hole dictate black hole thermodynamics. In the course of this paper, I will derive and outline the various laws of black hole thermodynamics and discuss Hawking

Supernova Sonata by Alex Parker From April, 2003 until August, 2006, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope watched four parts of the sky as often as possible. Armed with the largest digital camera in the known universe, CFHT monitored these four fields for a special type of supernova (called Type Ia) which are created by the thermonuclear detonation of one or more white-dwarf stars. Each supernova is assigned a note to be played: The volume of the note is determined by the distance to the supernova, with more distant supernova being quieter and fainter. The pitch of the note was determined by the supernovas stretch, a property of how the supernova brightens and fades. Higher stretch values played higher notes. The pitches were drawn from a Phrygian dominant scale. The instrument the note was played on was determined by the properties of the galaxy which hosted each supernova. Supernovae hosted by massive galaxies are played with a stand-up bass, while supernovae hosted by less massive galaxies ...
In a newly published study, astronomers reveal evidence for a new intermediate-mass black hole about 5,000 times the mass of the sun. Nearly all black holes come in one of two sizes: stellar mass black holes that weigh up to a few dozen times the mass of our sun or supermassive black holes ranging from a million to several billion times the suns mass. Astronomers believe that medium-sized black holes between these two extremes exist, but evidence has been hard to come by, with roughly a half-dozen candidates described so far.. A team led by astronomers at the University of Maryland and NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center has found evidence for a new intermediate-mass black hole about 5,000 times the mass of the sun. The discovery adds one more candidate to the list of potential medium-sized black holes, while strengthening the case that these objects do exist. The team reported its findings in the September 21, 2015 online edition of Astrophysical Journal Letters.. The result follows up on a ...
The black hole located in HR 6819 points to an exciting (or terrifying) possibility. Nearly all of the black holes discovered within our galaxy to date have been violent ones that absorb the stars and planets around them, creating powerful x-rays as a result. This black hole is different as it exists quietly in its own system, undetected for years. This could mean there are thousands of black holes relatively close to our solar system, but we just havent seen them yet! The astronomers involved also believe a second system, LB-1, could contain a similar black hole - however more research is needed to determine this. On of our own Astronomers, Dr. Andreas Sander, has broken down what this discovery could mean for identifying future Black Holes. The discovery in the HR6819 system is a good example of how we extend our knowledge about stars and their lives and deaths. We know that Black Holes exist and that massive stars eventually end up collapsing into a Black Hole. But how massive do they need ...
Of Contraction of the Universe which Finally Becomes Dominant in the Big Crunch!. In the interest of accuracy and also to mention that this information is being misused by NASA and other U.S. government propagandists to try to distract from and obscure the significance of black holes and the central role black holes play in the process of contraction of the Universe, which ultimately becomes dominant over the simultaneous process of expansion. First, it is a fact that matter generally enters a black hole through a combination of both gravitation and magnetism. Matter in the accretion disk which spins around the black hole can only enter the black hole after it loses its angular momentum. The inertia of the material in the accretion disk keeps it spiraling in a disk rather than falling straight into the black hole. The inertia in turn is due to the mass of the material in the disc and the gravitational field caused by the extremely rapid rotation of the black hole itself. An accretion disc is a ...

Context. Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may provide the missing link to understanding the growth of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. Some formation scenarios predict that IMBHs could have formed by runaway collisions in globular clusters (GCs). However, it is challenging to set observational constraints on the mass of a black hole in a largely gas-free (and hence accretion-free) stellar system such as a GC. Understanding the influence of an IMBH in the center of a GC on its environment might provide indirect detection methods. Aims. Our goal is to test the effects of different initial compositions of GCs on their evolution in a tidal field. We pin down the crucial observables that indicate the presence of an IMBH at the center of the cluster. In addition to central IMBHs, we also consider the effects of different stellar-mass black hole retention and stellar binary fractions. Methods. We performed a set of 22 N-body simulations and varied particle numbers, IMBH masses, ...
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration recently announced the discovery of GW190521, the most massive gravitational wave binary observed to date, and Rochester Institute of Technology scientists played an important role in identifying and analyzing the event. They detected the signal with the National Science Foundations Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). The two inspiralling black holes had masses of about 85 and 66 solar masses, and resulted in the formation of a black hole remnant of 142 solar masses, providing the first clear detection of an intermediate-mass black hole.. Were seeing something more massive than weve seen before, past the point where we thought that we could form black holes, said Associate Professor Richard OShaughnessy, a member of CCRG and the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. Its therefore suggesting that our previous understanding was incomplete or maybe theres more out there than we previously envisioned.. Not ...
A Black Hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing can escape after it has past the event horizon of the Black Hole. The reason it is called a Black hole is that even light is unable to escape it. Black holes can be detected, when a black hole interacts with matter out-side of the event horizon a large amount of radiation emits from it. Black holes are currently understood by Einsteins general theory of relativity, which was formed in 1916. The idea of an object with a gravitational pull strong enough to prevent light escaping from it was first thought of in the 18th century. Einsteins theory predicts that when a large enough amount of mass is present within a sufficiently small region of space, all paths through space are warped inwards towards the center of the volume, forcing all matter and radiation to fall inward. While general relativity describes a black hole as a region of empty space with a pointlike singularity at the center and an event ...
Like many other spiral galaxies in the Universe, the Milky Way Galaxy consists of two disk-like structures - the thin disk and the thick disk. The thick disk, which envelopes the thin disk, contains about 20% of the Milky Ways stars and is thought to be the older of the pair based on the composition of its stars (which have greater metallicity) and its puffier nature. However, in a recent study, a team of 38 scientists led by researchers from Australias ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in Three Dimensions (ASTRO-3D) used data from the now-retired Kepler mission to measure starquakes in the Milky Ways disk. From this, they have revised the official estimates on the age of the Milky Ways thick disk, which they conclude is around 10 billion years old. The study which describes their findings - titled The K2-HERMES Survey: age and metallicity of the thick disc - recently appeared in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The research team was led by Dr. Sanjib ...
These positrons are born at nearly the speed of light, and travel thousands of light years before they slow down enough in dense clouds of gas to have a chance of joining with an electron to annihilate in a dance of death, explains Higdon. Their slowing down occurs from the drag of other particles during their journey through space. Their journey is also impeded by the many fluctuations in the galactic magnetic field that scatter them back and forth as they move along. All of this must be taken into account in calculating the average distance the positrons would travel from their birthplaces in supernova explosions. Some positrons head towards the center of the Galaxy, some towards the outer reaches of the Milky Way known as the galactic halo, and some are caught in the spiral arms, said Rothschild. While calculating this in detail is still far beyond the fastest supercomputers, we were able to use what we know about how electrons travel throughout the solar system and what can be inferred ...
In the available supporting (yet unreliable) study regarding the REACH endpoint toxicity to soil microorganisms, toxicity o f TiO2 to soil bacteria was determined in the Biolog test over 7 consecutive days. No effects could be observed. The authors report the EC50 (7 d) to be , 100 mg TiO2/L. This result may in principle be used in a read-across approach to cover the endpoint requirements for the REACH registration of TiC. Toxic effects to soil microorganisms arise from exposure via soil pore water. Due to lower transformation/dissolution results for titanium carbide (the target substance) than titanium dioxide (the source substance), the resulting toxicity potential of TiC is also expected to be lower. Therefore, the dose descriptors are expected to be sufficiently high for the target substance, and read-across to the source chemical is adequately protective. In fact, (eco-)toxicologically relevant release of Ti ions from titanium carbide is not expected as the concentration of soluble Ti ...
As nuclear fuel deep within a star is burned, instabilities occur. These instabilities may result in a rapid increase in heating, which may be seen as mass loss driven by a thermal pulse in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. Nuclear-processing enriches the outer envelopes of the star, and as dense warm material enriched in C, N, O, P, S and Si deep in the star cools, condensation produces stardust. The dust is accelerated outward during pulses and drags gas along with it into the circumstellar envelope, which may be imaged in dust continuum or in the lines of molecules such as CO, SiO and their isotopic variants. Thus, ALMA provides a sensitive probe of not only the physics of the stellar matter but of its nucleosynthetic origins. ALMAs high resolution can identify unknown components of stellar systems while its spectral line sensitivity can provide insight into isotopic variations within lost-mass shells and into dust formation processes near the stellar photosphere.. After the outer shell ...
A theoretical study of the interaction between supernovae and their surroundings is presented.. Supernovae are the endpoint of the life of massive stars, and are the dominant contributors to the chemical evolution of the Universe. During its life a massive star greatly modifies its environment. During and after the explosion of the star it interacts with its surroundings in a number of ways. A study of this interaction yields invaluable information about the late stages of stellar evolution and the physics of supernova explosions. Recent advances in observational facilities have given a wealth of observational data on interacting supernovae, and it is therefore essential to have good theoretical models for interpreting the data.. This thesis presents an overview of the physics of supernovae and of their interaction with a circumstellar medium. In particular the reverse shock created by the interaction is investigated. In most Type IIL and Type IIn supernovae this shock is radiative, and due to ...
The galaxy next door, Andromeda, is twice as massive as our own Milky Way galaxy, a new paper published online today in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society concludes. Astronomers have long known that Andromeda is bigger and brighter than the Milky Way, but some studies have suggested that our galaxy packs in enough extra invisible dark matter to beat it in total bulk. Now, calculations based on the latest measurements of galactic distances and motions show that each galaxy contains the same proportion of dark matter-about 90%-and that Andromeda is top dog after all.. ...
Just like normal black holes, they are regions of space-time with gravitational effects so strong that even electromagnetic radiation such as light can not escape from inside of them.. Julie Comerford, an astronomer at the University of Colorado Boulder, has led a team of scientists in analyzing this particular black hole and its two burps.. The Hubble telescope then picked up clouds of blue-green gas emerging from the black hole from a previous burp. While these two events are thought to have happened some 100,000 years apart, thats actually an incredibly short period of time when were talking about black hole activity. While even light can not escape the pull of one of these gravity wells, blacks holes do, very occasionally, burp back out chunks of half-consumed gas.. A paper on the subject was published in a recent issue of The Astrophysical Journal.. The black hole in question, known as J1354, is situated about 800 million light years from Earth and was studied using data captured by ...

Most galaxies in the universe, including our own Milky Way, harbor super-massive black holes varying in mass from about one million to about 10 billion times the mass of our sun. To find them, astronomers look for the enormous amount of radiation emitted by gas which falls into such objects during the times that the black holes are active, i.e., accreting matter. This gas infall into massive black holes is believed to be the means by which black holes grow.

The black hole is like a generator spinning around in these magnetic fields, said BYU professor David Neilsen, lead author of the study. The way the field lines get twisted around and pulled by the spinning black hole creates electromagnetic tension that gets turned into radiation and energy that goes out.. One black hole in the galaxy Centauras A propels radiation in a jet measuring 1 million light-years long.. The spin of black holes has been believed to play a role since the idea was put forward in 1977. The new study confirms this theory while also introducing a totally new component: that a black holes lateral movement also powers these jets.. ...
The biggest known explosion in the universe has been spotted by astronomers - and it was so intense it punched a crater the size of 15 Milky Way galaxies into a part of space hundreds of millions of light-years away. Scientists say theyve never seen anything like it. According to a study published Thursday in The Astrophysical Journal, astronomers discovered the record-breaking eruption using X-ray data from several sources, including NASAs Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESAs XMM-Newton, and radio data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Australia and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in India. It was so massive, they have little to compare it to. In some ways, this blast is similar to how the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980 ripped off the top of the mountain, lead author Simona Giacintucci of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC said in a press release Thursday. A key difference is that you could fit fifteen Milky Way galaxies in a row into the crater this ...
Normally, when a massive star reaches the end of its life, its core collapses into a single black hole. But if the star was spinning very rapidly, its core might stretch into a dumbbell shape and fragment into two clumps, each forming its own black hole.. A very massive star as needed here often forms out of the merger of two smaller stars. And since the stars would have revolved around each other faster and faster as they spiraled together, the resulting merged star would be expected to spin very quickly.. After the black hole pair formed, the stars outer envelope rushed inward toward them. In order to power both the gravitational wave event and the gamma-ray burst, the twin black holes must have been born close together, with an initial separation of order the size of the Earth, and merged within minutes. The newly formed single black hole then fed on the infalling matter, consuming up to a Suns worth of material every second and powering jets of matter that blasted outward to create the ...
We present new near-infrared (IR) observations of the Hβ λ4861 and Mg II λ2798 lines for 32 luminous quasars with 3.2 , z , 3.9 using the Palomar Hale 200 inch telescope and the Large Binocular Telescope. We find that the Mg II FWHM is well correlated with the Hβ FWHM, confirming itself as a good substitute for the Hβ FWHM in the black hole mass estimates. The continuum luminosity at 5100 Å well correlates with the continuum luminosity at 3000 Å and the broad emission line luminosities (Hβ and Mg II). With simultaneous near-IR spectroscopy of the Hβ and Mg II lines to exclude the influences of flux variability, we are able to evaluate the reliability of estimating black hole masses based on the Mg II line for high redshift quasars. With the reliable Hβ line based black hole mass and Eddington ratio estimates, we find that the z ∼ 3.5 quasars in our sample have black hole masses 1.90 × 10{sup 9} M {sub ☉} ≲ M {sub BH} ≲ 1.37 × 10{sup 10} M {sub ☉}, with a median of ∼5.14 ...

Eta Aquarid meteor shower. It takes place when the Earth crosses the famous Halleys Comet passage, causing the comets debris leftovers of to fall on the Earths surface.. If you set yourself up to watch the sky that night, you would not need any means of observation; the meteors would be visible to the naked eye. If you are located in the Southern Hemisphere, the Eta Aquarids would produce up to 60 meteors per hour. As for the Northern Hemisphere sky observers, including those observing the sky of the Arab Republic of Egypt, the rate can reach about 30 meteors per hour; a few good ones to observe.. Wednesday, 9 May 2018. On Wednesday, 9 May 2018, amateur astronomers and sky-observers will have an opportunity to observe another beautiful phenomenon known as Jupiter at Opposition. This phenomenon takes place when Jupiter lies directly opposite to the Sun, which means that it is in its utmost illumination condition. The planet will be visible also from Earth, and it is the best time to view and ...
Recent spectroscopic observations of the outer halo globular cluster (GC) NGC 2419 show that it is unique among GCs, in terms of chemical abundance patterns, and some suggest that it was originated in the nucleus of a dwarf galaxy. Here we show, from the Subaru narrowband photometry employing a calcium filter, that the red giant branch (RGB) of this GC is split into two distinct subpopulations. Comparison with spectroscopy has confirmed that the redder RGB stars in the hk[=(Ca-b) - (b - y)] index are enhanced in [Ca/H] by ∼0.2 dex compared to the bluer RGB stars. Our population model further indicates that the calcium-rich second generation stars are also enhanced in helium abundance by a large amount (ΔY = 0.19). Our photometry, together with the results for other massive GCs (e.g., ω Cen, M22, and NGC 1851), suggests that the discrete distribution of RGB stars in the hk index might be a universal characteristic of this growing group of peculiar GCs. The planned narrowband calcium ...
Where does this loving energy come from? Is it just inside of us or does to come to us from the outside and depending on our receptivity we either take it in or not? It is now really clear that the greatest source of energy in our galaxy exists at the center of the Milky Way. It is a black hole larger than several million of our Suns, yet it is compacted into a space about 10 times smaller than the Earths orbit around the sun. While Galactic Center emits energy all the time, there are certain times when it has its strongest effect on us, such as periods of time when our our Solar System is conjunct with the Black Hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.. Every 250 million years, our galaxy makes one complete rotation and within that larger rotation our solar system is also rotating. Our Solar System actually exists on a remote arm of our Galaxy. but at about the mid-point of its 26,000 year rotation, it comes in direct alignment with Galactic Center. This Solar System Cycle has placed it ...
Up until now, though, that hasnt been a terribly urgent goal; the time-scale of galactic events is immense, usually so long that the average scientist quickly gives up on the idea of seeing the universes most dramatic displays within their lifetime. That attitude may change with respect to galactic supernovae now, thanks to this teams finding that the Milky Way is virtually certain to host a supernova within the next 50 years. Given those sorts of odds, the team argues, it would be silly not to start investing right away.. Though it is nearby within the context of the entire universe, even a galactic supernova is happening very, very far away; the probability of a supernova strong and close enough to be visible to the naked eye is closer to 1 in 5. The chance of a sky-brightening event that outshines all other objects in the sky, something like the incredible event observed by Kepler in 1604, is more like 1 in 20.. This sort of work can be difficult to justify to funding boards since it could ...

We present near IR spectra (0.8-2.5 µm) of the two candidate B[e]/X-ray binary systems CI Cam/XTE J0421+560 and HD34921/1H 0521+37. The spectra of both systems show evidence for a more complex circumstellar environment than those seen in classical Be/X-ray binaries. Strong H I and He I emission is seen, confirming the presence of a dense circumstellar wind; O I, Fe II and [Fe II] emission in CI Cam points to recombination of this wind. He II emission, presumably due to excitation by the compact companion is observed in CI Cam. Finally, emission is seen from Na I and CO, which implies regions of the circumstellar environment with much lower excitation temperatures and higher densities, shielded from direct stellar radiation. Both systems show evidence for continuum emission from circumstellar dust. Neither of these two features has previously been observed in any other classical Be/X-ray binary system. Adopting the classification criteria of Lamers et al. (1998) we suggest identifications of ...

Considering all that was accomplished in the field of physics last year, it is exciting to think about what the new year will bring. If the Event Horizon Telescope actually allows for images of the black hole at the center of our universe, it will significantly impact scientists and the general public. Physicists doing related work may be able to more accurately predict the volume and mass of the black hole, or how long it will be before our solar system gets devoured. For the general public, specifically those who often question the authenticity of science for religious reasons or other causes, a tangible image of a black hole could give them hard evidence that black holes are in fact real, or even merely more appreciation for what scientists do. It is impossible to predict exactly what might get uncovered about the universe in the future or what effect it will bear, especially on a galactic level, but the more we understand, the more questions we have yet to answer ...
The luminosity of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) provides an excellent measure of galaxy distances and is easily determined in the resolved images of nearby galaxies observed with Hubble Space Telescope. There is now a large amount of archival data that are relevant to the TRGB methodology and offer comparisons with other distance estimators. Zero-point issues related to the TRGB distance scale are reviewed in this paper. Consideration is given to the metallicity dependence of the TRGB, the transformations between HST flight systems and Johnson-Cousins photometry, the absolute magnitude scale based on horizontal branch measurements, and the effects of reddening. The zero point of the TRGB is established with a statistical accuracy of 1%, modulo the uncertainty in the magnitude of the horizontal branch, with a typical rms uncertainty of 3% in individual galaxy distances at high Galactic latitude. The zero point is consistent with the Cepheid period-luminosity relation scale but invites

The inner layers of the photosphere of an evolved star is one of many inhospitable places in the universe that we can neither visit nor see, because these are made up of a homogeneous, dense atomic cloud which, unlike the outer layers, are not penetrated by UV radiation. Thus, information of the chemical processes taking place there, at distances of around 1014 cm2 from the star, remains hidden to us. However, these regions are of fundamental importance as they can be regarded as cauldrons of chemical species, where dust and gas are ejected into space providing the building blocks of planets and the main ingredients required for the emergence of life. Many species are first formed in this zone, where individual atoms evolve into nanosized dust particles and complex molecules. So, we accepted the challenge of building a unique experimental machine based on ultra-high vacuum (UHV) technology to reproduce the physical conditions operating in the circumstellar envelope (CSE) in order to mimic, as ...
Gaia is measuring the distances of hundreds of millions of objects that are many thousands of light years away, at an accuracy equivalent to measuring the thickness of hair at a distance of more than 2000 kilometers. These data are one of the backbones of astrophysics, allowing us to forensically analyze our stellar neighborhood, and tackle crucial questions about the origin and future of our Milky Way Galaxy, says Floor van Leeuwen of the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge, about the most detailed ever catalog of the stars in a huge swathe of our Milky Way galaxy -the third early data release from the European Space Agencys Gaia Space Observatory launched in 2013 delivers data for just over 1.8 billion sources.

Published today in the journal Nature, the research shows jets from V404 Cygnis black hole behaving in a way never seen before on such short timescales.. The jets appear to be rapidly rotating with high-speed clouds of plasma-potentially just minutes apart-shooting out of the black hole in different directions.. Lead author Associate Professor James Miller-Jones, from the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), said black holes are some of the most extreme objects in the Universe.. This is one of the most extraordinary black hole systems Ive ever come across, Associate Professor Miller-Jones said.. Like many black holes, its feeding on a nearby star, pulling gas away from the star and forming a disk of material that encircles the black hole and spirals towards it under gravity.. Whats different in V404 Cygni is that we think the disk of material and the black hole are misaligned.. This appears to be causing the inner part of the disk to ...

A team of astronomers led by Carnegies Eduardo Bañados used Carnegies Magellan telescopes to discover the most-distant supermassive black hole ever observed. It resides in a luminous quasar and its light reaches us from when the Universe was only 5 percent of its current age - just 690 million years after the Big Bang.. Their findings are published by Nature.. Quasars are tremendously bright objects comprised of enormous black holes accreting matter at the centers of massive galaxies. This newly discovered black hole has a mass that is 800 million times the mass of our Sun.. Gathering all this mass in fewer than 690 million years is an enormous challenge for theories of supermassive black hole growth, Bañados explained.. To grow black holes that big so soon after the Big Bang, astronomers have speculated that the very early Universe might have had conditions allowing the creation of very large black holes with masses reaching 100,000 times the mass of the Sun. This is very unlike the black ...
Picture above, you can see the disk shape galaxy NGC 1277 that was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. At the center of this galaxy is the black hole that scientists are saying accounts for 14% of the galaxys weight. To put the size of this black hole in perspective, our own milky way galaxy has a black hole equivalent to the mass of 4 million suns. NGC 1277 has the mass of 17 billion suns!. It has typically been thought that the mass of a galaxies black hole correlates to the mass of the stars in a galaxy. After this discovery however, it seems that theory may not be true. The ratio of this black hole to the mass of the stars in its galaxy are way off the typical charts. Small disk shaped galaxies typically have much smaller black holes that usually account for less than 1% of their mass. Finding one that accounts for 14% of its mass is truly rare. Black holes of this size are usually found elliptical galaxies.. It appears after further examination that this phenomenon isnt as rare as ...

Cygnus X-1 is located near large active regions of star formation in the Milky Way, as seen in this image that spans some 700 light years across. An artists illustration on the right depicts what astronomers think is happening within the Cygnus X-1 system. Cygnus X-1 is a so-called stellar-mass black hole, a class of black holes that comes from the collapse of a massive star. The black hole pulls material from a massive, blue companion star toward it. This material forms a disk (shown in red and orange) that rotates around the black hole before falling into it or being redirected away from the black hole in the form of powerful jets.

Astronomy has become the oldest sciences. Ancient individuals utilised the positions in the stars to navigate, and to find when was the perfect the perfect time to plant crops. Astronomy is really just like astrophysics. A correlated subject, cosmology, is worried with studying the Universe being a whole, together with the way the universe adjusted over time. Astronomy isnt the exact same as astrology, the assumption that motion of your stars and then the planets may very well have an effect on human lives.. Since the 20th century there have actually been two important styles of ...
The 2011 X-ray Astronomy School, organized jointly by HEASARC at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Chandra X-ray Center, is designed to introduce graduate students and recent postdocs to the intricacies of X-ray astronomy. There are currently five operating X-ray satellites - Chandra, RXTE, Swift, Suzaku, and XMM-Newton - in addition to the online archives from earlier missions. X-ray astronomy is thus an important resource for research in many topics in astrophysics. However, many astronomers have never analyzed X-ray data and do not have a clear idea of the methods and challenges involved. The lectures emphasize the foundations of X-ray astronomy rather than any particular software tools. However, the school does include a hands-on component in which participants will analyze an X-ray dataset of their choice using the standard software. By attending the X-ray Astronomy School, students will have the opportunity to learn from scientists who are actively participating in X-ray research ...

At the middle of a black hole, there is a gravitational center called a singularity. It is impossible to see into it because the gravity prevents any light escaping. Around the tiny singularity, there is a large area where light which would normally pass by gets sucked in as well. The edge of this area is called the event horizon. The area beyond the event horizon is the black hole. The gravity of the black hole gets weaker at a distance. The event horizon is the place farthest away from the middle where the gravity is still strong enough to trap light. Outside the event horizon, light and matter will still be pulled toward the black hole. If a black hole is surrounded by matter, the matter will form an accretion disk (accretion means gathering) around the black hole. An accretion disk looks something like the rings of Saturn. As it gets sucked in, the matter gets very hot and shoots x-ray radiation into space. Think of this as the water spinning around the hole before it falls in. Most ...

For all mid-sized stars the evolutionary scenario is similar with some exceptions. Stars slightly smaller than our Sun also evolve into red giants but their cores dont have enough mass to ignite helium fusion. They dont reach the tip of the red giant branch shown above, and there is no helium flash. Instead, these stars move directly into a state that more resembles the post- AGB (asymptotic giant branch) top horizontal line in the graph above, except that they are less luminous. Like the Sun, they eventually blow off their outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind, in this case, a helium white dwarf. In stars more massive than our Sun, between 2.25 M and 10 M, the core is large enough and dense enough to reach the fusion ignition temperature of helium before it has a chance to contract into a degenerate state. This eliminates the helium flash from their life cycle for a different reason. Like the Sun, these more massive stars expand into red giants as the outer layers of the ...
I want to draw attention to a supernova impostor that has flared back up, and some are saying it could have gone supernova. Here is a link to the relevant Astronomers Telegram:. http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=4412. Supernova imposters are visually as bright as supernova but they do not destroy the progenitor and some of them, like SN 2009ip have a repeat eruption. As the ATEL reports, Nathan Smith has guessed that this one might have popped off as a true supernova this time. Eta Carinaes great eruption in the 1840s is the prototype for this kind of object in our own galaxy.. Observing this object is a stretch for most northern hemisphere observers because it is at Declination -29. However it is an object of great interest and any good CCD photometry would be appreciated. Johnson V is normally most helpful. Cousins R and I are also useful for supernova impostors (because dust production can make them redder as they evolve).. Here is a link to photo on flicker with the object ...
Astronomers have uncovered a near-record-breaking supermassive black hole, weighing 17 billion suns, in an unlikely place: in the center of a galaxy in a sparsely populated area of the universe.. The observations, made by NASAs Hubble Space Telescope and the Gemini telescope in Hawaii, could indicate that these monster objects may be more common than once thought.. Until now, the biggest supermassive black holes those roughly 10 billion times the mass of our sun have been found at the cores of very large galaxies in regions of the universe packed with other large galaxies. In fact, the current record holder tips the scale at 21 billion suns and resides in the crowded Coma galaxy cluster, which consists of over 1,000 galaxies.. The newly discovered supersized black hole resides in the center of a massive elliptical galaxy, NGC 1600, located in a cosmic backwater, a small grouping of 20 or so galaxies, said lead discoverer Chung-Pei Ma, a University of California-Berkeley astronomer and head of ...
Among those to take a closer look at the object was a team of astronomers from the Universities of Erlangen-Nürnberg and Potsdam. They discovered that it may not necessarily be a black hole at all, but possibly a massive neutron star or even an ordinary star. Their results have now been published as a highlight-paper in the renowned journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.. The putative black hole was detected indirectly from the motion of a bright companion star, orbiting an invisible compact object over a period of about 80 days. From new observations, a Belgian team showed that the original measurements were misinterpreted and that the mass of the black hole is, in fact, very uncertain. The most important question, namely how the observed binary system was created, remains unanswered. A crucial aspect is the mass of the visible companion, the hot star LS V+22 25. The more massive this star is, the more massive the black hole has to be to induce the observed motion of the bright star. The latter ...
Gravitational-wave astronomy has been firmly established with the detection of gravitational waves from the merger of ten stellar-mass binary black holes and a neutron star binary. This paper reports on the all-sky search for gravitational waves from intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo network. The search uses three independent algorithms: two based on matched filtering of the data with waveform templates of gravitational-wave signals from compact binaries, and a third, model-independent algorithm that employs no signal model for the incoming signal. No intermediate mass black hole binary event is detected in this search. Consequently, we place upper limits on the merger rate density for a family of intermediate mass black hole binaries. In particular, we choose sources with total masses M = m1 + m2 ∈ [120,800] M⊙ and mass ratios q = m2/m1 ∈ [0.1,1.0]. For the first time, this calculation is done using numerical relativity

ADC_Keywords: Infrared sources ; Stars, late-type ; Stars, pre-main sequence Keywords: stars: formation - stars: late-type - stars: pre-main sequence - infrared: stars Abstract: We search for new T Tauri star (TTS) candidates with the mid-infrared (MIR) part of the AKARI All-Sky Survey at 9 and 18µm wavelengths. We used the point source catalogue (PSC) obtained by the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board AKARI. We combined the 2MASS PSC and the 3rd version of the USNO CCD Astrograph Catalogue (UCAC) with the AKARI IRC-PSC, and surveyed 517 known TTSs over a 1800-square-degree part of the Taurus-Auriga region to develop criteria to extract TTSs. We considered asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, post-AGB stars, planetary nebulae (PNe), and galaxies, which have similar MIR colours, to separate TTSs from these sources. We finally searched for new TTS candidates from AKARI IRC-PSC in the same Taurus-Auriga region. Of the 517 known TTSs, we detected 133 sources with AKARI: 46 sources were not detected by ...
Smadar Naoz is an associate professor of physics and astronomy in the UCLA College. She wrote this article for The Conversation.. Do supermassive black holes have friends? The nature of galaxy formation suggests that the answer is yes, and in fact, pairs of supermassive black holes should be common in the universe.. I am an astrophysicist and am interested in a wide range of theoretical problems in astrophysics, from the formation of the very first galaxies to the gravitational interactions of black holes, stars and even planets. Black holes are intriguing systems, and supermassive black holes and the dense stellar environments that surround them represent one of the most extreme places in our universe.. The supermassive black hole that lurks at the center of our galaxy, called Sgr A*, has a mass of about 4 million times that of our sun. A black hole is a place in space where gravity is so strong that neither particles or light can escape from it. Surrounding Sgr A* is a dense cluster of stars. ...

[more ▼]. Aims. We aim at directly detecting the presence of optically thin circumstellar dust emission within the terrestrial planetary zone around main sequence stars known to harbour cold debris discs. The present study focuses on a sample of six bright A- and early F-type stars. Methods: High-precision interferometric observations have been obtained in the near-infrared K band with the FLUOR instrument installed on the CHARA Array. The measured squared visibilities are compared to the expected visibility of the stellar photospheres based on theoretical photospheric models taking into account rotational distortion. We search for potential visibility reduction at short baselines, a direct piece of evidence for resolved circumstellar emission. ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Stability of silicon and titanium carbide suspensions in electrolyte, poly(ethylene oxide), and PEO-surfactant solutions. AU - Bárány, S.. AU - Eremenko, Boris V.. AU - Malysheva, Mariya L.. PY - 2004/7/1. Y1 - 2004/7/1. N2 - It has been shown that the coagulation values of counterions for SiC and TiC suspensions with particle radius from 0.5 to 5 μm obey a z 2.5-3.5 law and there is an insufficient change in the critical concentration of 1-1 electrolytes (CCE) when the surface potential of particles increases more than two times. Also, the CCE values hardly depend on the position of counterions in the lyotropic sequence. This is explained by aggregation of SiC and TiC particles at a secondary minimum, which is proved by calculations of the potential curves of interparticle interactions using the DLVO theory. The adsorption of poly(ethylene oxide) on the surfaces studied does not cause - in contradiction to dispersions with smaller particles - an unlimited growth in the ...
Cambridge, MA - Scientists at the Center for Astrophysics , Harvard & Smithsonian today announced the discovery and study of the brightest, most energetic, and likely most massive supernova ever identified.. SN2016aps is believed to be an example of a pulsational pair instability supernova, and may have formed as the result of the merging of two massive stars prior to the explosion. The explosion energy of SN2016aps was ten times that of a normal-sized supernova.. SN2016aps is spectacular in several ways, said Edo Berger, Harvard University professor and co-author on the paper. Not only is it brighter than any other supernova weve ever seen, but it has several properties and features that make it rare in comparison to other explosions of stars in the universe.. The team-made up of researchers from CfA, University of Birmingham, Northwestern University, and Ohio University-first identified the supernova in 2016 using data from the Panoramic Survey Telescopes and Rapid Response System ...
The History and Practice of Ancient Astronomy combines new scholarship with hands-on science to bring readers into direct contact with the work of ancient astronomers. While tracing ideas from ancient Babylon to sixteenth-century Europe, the book places its greatest emphasis on the Greek period, when astronomers developed the geometric and philosophical ideas that have determined the subsequent character of Western astronomy. The author approaches this history through the concrete details of ancient astronomical practice. Carefully organized and generously illustrated, the book can teach readers how to do real astronomy using the methods of ancient astronomers. For example, readers will learn to predict the next retrograde motion of Jupiter using either the arithmetical methods of the Babylonians or the geometric methods of Ptolemy. They will learn how to use an astrolabe and how to design sundials using Greek and Roman techniques. The book also contains supplementary exercises and patterns for making
CHILEAN MINISTER FOR WOMENS AFFAIRS ENCOURAGES GENDER EQUALITY IN SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY AND MATHEMATICS The Minister for Womens Affairs and Gender Equality will shortly inaugurate a workshop on gender equality in astronomy and related engineering disciplines.
