... GOODS unites extremely deep observations from NASA's Great Observatories, Spitzer , Hubble , and Chandra , ESA's Herschel and XMM-Newton , and from the most powerful ground-based facilities, to survey the distant universe to the faintest flux limits across the electromagnetic spectrum. ... The space-based observations are complemented by ground-based imaging and spectroscopy, including extensive commitments of ESO and NOAO observing time. ... 2010-04-10: Deep VLA 1.4 GHz data for GOODS-North . ...

... It turns out one possibility is a form of matter/energy invented by Einstein in the 1920s to make sure his equations of General Relativity did not predict the Expansion of the Universe. Although Einstein was willing to predict several things with his equations of General Relativity, he obviously thought an expanding Universe was too much, and so he invented the Cosmological Constant, which repels itself, and was meant to balance the force of gravity, and make the Universe static. ...

The fact charged particles circle around field lines was well known to J.J. Thomson when he experimented with electron and ion beams in a magnetic field. ... The notion of adiabatic invariance is tied with the early years of quantum theory. ... By the rules of conventional physics, atoms were expected to continually lose energy, yet the absorption and emission of light suggested that they could exist in certain stable states where their energy was fixed. ...

... Energy . ... The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much, much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ... Typical energy of an electron in the polar aurora. 40,000 ev . ... 50,000 ev . ...

... In February of 1987, astronomers witnessed the brightest supernova of modern times - supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud. ... Eros From Orbit . ... On February 14th, the NEAR spacecraft became the first artificial moon of an asteroid. Captured by the gentle gravity of a 20 mile long slipper-shaped mountain of rock, NEAR recorded this premier image while orbiting asteroid 433 Eros at a distance of about 200 miles.

This result sheds new light on the complex process of cosmic particle acceleration. т?? Cassini has essentially given us the capability of studying the nature of a supernova shock in situ in our own solar system, bridging the gap to distant high-energy astrophysical phenomena that are usually only studied remotely,т?? said Masters...

Next: Results and Discussion Up: Evolution of Supernova Explosion Previous: - Dependence for the . In order to construct the - dependence for supernova explosions, we calculated separately the m ( z ) in the R band and N ( z ) taking the cosmological and evolutionary effects into account. ... where n(t) is the SN rate as a function of age of the galaxy, t(z) is the age of the galaxy as a function of its redshift, and is the density of galaxies in the Universe. ...

Wave-Particle Duality of Light. click here to see a wave experiment . ... In the wave theory, greater light intensity simply means more photons. Each photon ejects electrons in the same way, so more intensity means more electrons. Threshold frequency and electron K.E. should not be affected by intensity. ... Light frequencies below the threshold eject no electrons, no matter how intense the light. Light frequencies above the threshold eject electrons, no matter how low the intensity. ...

... They worked out that first magnitude was on average 100 times brighter than the 6th magnitude star. ... This formed an equation of apparent magnitude Mv which is: Mv = -2.5 log f + constant were f is the flux of that star f = ( counts/ exposure) The images that we worked on were taken by the Polar Bear Telescope. ... One of these being that it will be combined with standard stars, which will be used to identify the area of stars and to also help identify other stars within the image. ...

... Amorphous carbonaceous materials can show a great diversity of optical properties due to the variability in their microstructure. ... The differently pyrolized celluloses are representative for a suit of carbonaceous material ranging from strongly disordered (insulating) to graphitized (conducting) material. Figure: Complex refractive index of hydrogenated amorphous carbon prepared by pyrolysis (annealing) of cellulose at different temperatures. ...

RA 8:34; Dec -45:45 (Vela) . Type: supernova remnant . ... This nebula is the remnant of a supernova that exploded about 10,000 years ago. Notice the great difference in appearance from the much younger Crab Nebula . The Vela SNR is sometimes mistakenly refered to as the Gum Nebula. Actually, the Gum Nebula is a distinct object unrelated to the Vela SNR. ... David Malin) . AAT 74k
