Astronomers Find the Missing Normal Matter in the Universe - October 13th, 2017

Astronomers Find the Missing Normal Matter in the Universe. Still Looking for Dark Matter. For decades the predominant cosmological model used by scientists has been based on the theory that in addition to baryonic matter – aka. “normal” or “luminous” matter which we can see – the Universe also contains a substantial amount of invisible mass. This “Dark Matter” accounts for roughly 26.8% of the mass of the Universe whereas normal matter accounts for just 4.9%. While the search for Dark Matter is ongoing and direct evidence is yet to be found scientists have also been aware that roughly 90% of the Universe’s normal matter still remained undetected. According to two new studies that were recently published much of this normal matter – which consists of filaments of hot diffuse gas that links galaxies together – may have finally been found.

Could Fast Radio Bursts Be Powering Alien Probes? - March 9th, 2017

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence has looked for many different signs of alien life from radio broadcasts to laser flashes without success. However newly published research suggests that mysterious phenomena called fast radio bursts could be evidence of advanced alien technology. Specifically these bursts might be leakage from planet-sized transmitters powering interstellar probes in distant galaxies. Fast radio bursts are exceedingly bright given their short duration and origin at great distances and we havent identified a possible natural source with any confidence said theorist Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. An artificial origin is worth contemplating and checking. As the name implies fast radio bursts are millisecond-long flashes of radio emission. First discovered in 2007 fewer than two dozen have been detected by gigantic radio telescopes like the Parkes Observatory in Australia or the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. They are inferred to originate from distant galaxies billions of light-years away. Loeb and his co-author Manasvi Lingam (Harvard University) examined the feasibility of creating a radio transmitter strong enough for it to be detectable across such immense distances. They found that if the transmitter were solar powered the sunlight falling on an area of a planet twice the size of the Earth would be enough to generate the needed energy. Such a vast construction project is well beyond our technology but within the realm of possibility according to the laws of physics. Lingam and Loeb also considered whether such a transmitter would be viable from an engineering perspective or whether the tremendous energies involved would melt any underlying structure. Again they found that a water-cooled device twice the size of Earth could withstand the heat. They then asked why build such an instrument in the first place? They argue that the most plausible use of such power is driving interstellar light sails. The amount of power involved would be sufficient to push a payload of a million tons or about 20 times the largest cruise ships on Earth. Thats big enough to carry living passengers across interstellar or even intergalactic distances added Lingam. To power a light sail the transmitter would need to focus a beam on it continuously. Observers on Earth would see a brief flash because the sail and its host planet star and galaxy are all moving relative to us. As a result the beam sweeps across the sky and only points in our direction for a moment. Repeated appearances of the beam which were observed but cannot be explained by cataclysmic astrophysical events might provide important clues about its artificial origin. Loeb admits that this work is speculative. When asked whether he really believes that any fast radio bursts are due to aliens he replied Science isnt a matter of belief its a matter of evidence. Deciding what’s likely ahead of time limits the possibilities. Its worth putting ideas out there and letting the data be the judge. The paper reporting this work has been accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters and is available online. Headquartered in Cambridge Mass. the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) is a joint collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Harvard College Observatory. CfA scientists organized into six research divisions study the origin evolution and ultimate fate of the universe.

Giant Antarctic iceberg set to break away - say Swansea researchers - January 5th, 2017

The Larsen C Ice shelf in Antarctica is primed to shed an area of more than 5000 sq. km following further substantial rift growth. After a few months of steady incremental advance since the last event the rift grew suddenly by a further 18 km during the second half of December 2016. Only a final 20 km of ice now connects an iceberg one quarter the size of Wales to its parent ice shelf. When it calves the Larsen C Ice Shelf will lose more than 10% of its area to leave the ice front at its most retreated position ever recorded this event will fundamentally change the landscape of the Antarctic Peninsula. We have previously shown that the new configuration will be less stable than it was prior to the rift and that Larsen C may eventually follow the example of its neighbour Larsen B which disintegrated in 2002 following a similar rift-induced calving event.

The animation begins with a view of a red supergiant star that is 500 times bigger and 20000 brighter than our sun. When the stars internal furnace can no longer sustain nuclear fusion its core to collapses under gravity. A shockwave from the implosion rushes upward through the stars layers. The shockwave initially breaks through the stars visible surface as a series of finger-like plasma jets. Only 20 minute later the full fury of the shockwave reaches the surface and the doomed star blasts apart as a supernova explosion. This animation is based on photometric observations made by NASAs Kepler space telescope. By closely monitoring the star KSN 2011d located 1.2 billion light-years away Kepler caught the onset of the early flash and subsequent explosion.

The host galaxy of a fast radio burst - February 24th, 2016

In recent years millisecond-duration radio signals originating in distant galaxies appear to have been discovered in the so-called fast radio bursts. These signals are dispersed according to a precise physical law and this dispersion is a key observable quantity which in tandem with a redshift measurement can be used for fundamental physical investigations. Every fast radio burst has a dispersion measurement but none before now have had a redshift measurement because of the difficulty in pinpointing their celestial coordinates. Here we report the discovery of a fast radio burst and the identification of a fading radio transient lasting 6 days after the event,= which we use to identify the host galaxy. We measure the galaxys redshift to be z = 0.492 ± 0.008. The dispersion measure and redshift in combination provide a direct measurement of the cosmic density of ionized baryons in the intergalactic medium of ΩIGM = 4.9 ± 1.3 per cent in agreement with the expectation from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and including all of the so-called missing baryons. The 6-day radio transient is largely consistent with the radio afterglow of a short γ-ray burst and its existence and timescale do not support progenitor models such as giant pulses from pulsars and supernovae. This contrasts with the interpretation of another recently discovered fast radio burst suggesting that there are at least two classes of bursts.

Ένας νέος μετράει τ άστρα - Εκπομπή της ΝΕΤ (ΕΣ ΑΥΡΙΟΝ) - March 10th, 2013

Ένας φωτογράφος διαφορετικός απο τους άλλους, ο Φάνης Ματσόπουλος, σε ηλικία μόλις 21 ετών, μας ταξιδεύει στα πέρατα του σύμπαντος αλλά και τα πιο ιδιαίτερα ελληνικά τοπία. Για τον Φάνη, η φωτογραφία ήταν και παραμένει ένα χόμπυ. Οι αστροφωτογραφίες του, όμως, έχουν ήδη δημοσιευτεί σε περιοδικά αστρονομίας. Το Ίδρυμα Ευγενίδου, το Πλανητάριο στην Αθήνα, φιλοξένησε περισσότερες από 50 φωτογραφίες του σε μια μοναδική ατομική έκθεση, ενώ το έργο του έχει παρουσιαστεί και στο Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Αστροφωτογραφίας στο Νέο Δελχί της Ινδίας. Γνωρίζει άριστα να χειρίζεται και τα πιο «δύσκολα» τηλεσκόπια, περνώντας ατέλειωτες ώρες δίπλα τους για να βγάλει την πιο καλή αστροφωτογραφία. Δεν «ταξιδεύει» μόνο στον ουρανό. Λατρεύει τη φωτογράφηση αρχαιολογικών μνημείων και φυσικών τοπίων. Μεγάλη του αγάπη και η νυχτερινή φωτογραφία. Αν και φοιτητής ηλεκτρολογίας, ο Φάνης εξαφανίζεται για ολόκληρα μερόνυχτα με τη φωτογραφική μηχανή και την κιθάρα του, προκειμένου να καταγράψει τις ομορφιές της Ελλάδας με μια οπτική εναλλακτική. Συνδυάζοντας τέχνη και επιστήμη, είναι ο νεότερος --αναγνωρισμένος από επαγγελματίες- αστροφωτογράφος στη χώρα μας. Το ταξίδι του αυτό μοιράζεται μαζί μας σε ένα ξεχωριστό οδοιπορικό.

Solar Eclipse (1900) - the first moving image of an astronomical phenomenon - May 28th, 1900

The magic of a real solar eclipse filmed on 28 May 1900 by a famous magician Nevil Maskelyne while on an expedition by The British Astronomical Association to North Carolina. In 1898 he travelled to India to photograph an eclipse. He succeeded but the film can was stolen on his return journey home. It was not an easy feat to film. Maskelyne had to make a special telescopic adapter for his camera to capture the event. This is the only film by Maskelyne that we know to have survived. The original film fragment held in The Royal Astronomical Societys archive has been painstakingly scanned and restored in 4K by conservation experts at the BFI National Archive who have reassembled and retimed the film frame by frame. The film is part of BFI Players recently released Victorian Film collection viewers are now able to experience this first film of a solar eclipse since the event was originally captured over a century ago.
