Vera C. Rubin Observatory has been released its first images because it is started 10-year-old mission conducting heritage in space and time (LSTS).
LSST will change astronomical astronomy to one of its main purposes which is the investigation of black energyThe mysterious force drives the rapid expansion of the universe, and darkest thingThe odd substance that accounts for 85% of the “things” of the cosmos but remain effective invisible.
From the perch roof of Cerro Pachón in Chile, a mountain rising about 5,200 feet (1,600 meters) across the sea sky in the middle of the night every three nights. This effort is the largest continuous mapping of the southern sky attempted, and rubin will make 8.4-meter Simonyi Survey Telescope and the Reading the camera (Lsscam), the largest digital camera built around the size of a small car.
Only an image from the LSSCMA covers an area equal to the size of 45 full moon in the sky. The first image of the Virgo Cluster’s observatory, a wide range of galaxies located about 53.8 million light-years from the ground. The image shows a lot of heavenly things, including galaxies and stars. Shows real rubin potential, this image consists of a rich tapestry of about 10 million galaxies.
Shocked, the ten million galaxies in the upper image only 0.05% of the number of 20 billion Galaxies Rubin visualize the end of the lstst. In fact, in a decade, Rubin collected data at approximately 40 billion Heavenly bodies, which means to see more people alive for the first time.
Bad, many of these things are completely new and looked at the person for the first time today. Things familiarly highlighted in the image below.
“Vera C. Rubin Observatory will allow us to increase the depth and dynamism to observing the universe,” Roberto Ragazzoni, the National Institute President of the National Institute (INAF) said.
“With this 8-meter class telescope capable of continuously mapping the southern sky every three days, we enter the era of ‘astro-cinematography’, exploring a new dimension: that of time, with what we expect to study the cosmos with a new perspective thanks also to the use of new information technologies To process a mass of data that would otherwise be inscrutable. “
If it works, Rubin will see it
One of Rubin’s most impressive abilities is the ability to study things that change the light in a lot of time while it builds “greatest movie all the time.” This extraordinary power comes from the fact that Rubin can scan the sky at fast speeds, about 10 to 100 times faster than the same big telescope.
“Transients” to see this will include more than 100 million variable star The change in their light was due to the pulsations, thermal instabilities, and even because of the planets “shifting,” or passing between Rubin and their appear disk.
Rubin could also observe millions of many stars as they finished their life and went through Explosive to supernova. Groundbreaking observation will also investigate the so-called “type ia supernovas,” triggered when dead star-white dwarfs undergoes runaway nuclear explosions after repairing stellar colleagues.
Type ia supernovas Also known as “standard candles” because of the fact that their steady losers allow astronomers to use them to measure cosmic distances. Thus, scientists have an indirect effects of astronomical astronomy to many new and more understandable distances between the universe of the universe.
It is closer to the house, by observing things as they change the light of the sky-sky, rubin give astronomers to a better picture of asteroids and small bodies while they are orbit. This can help with agencies in the desired space corridor Check potential threats to land and protect against asteroids.
YouTube video below shows 2,100 new asteroids that Rubin discovers during the first week of operation alone.
“If there is something in the sky to work or change, it will determine it and distribute the information around the LSTST world, often found out with the Directors of LSTST Scasient Alliance of the Vera C. Rubin ofnosvatory.
“Rubin will make a real color in the movie in the sky, which exists in a whole decade. A movie that will allow us to see the universe, but not only in static images, but in dynamic evolution.”
Rubin’s power is in details
Hours before the release of the main images above at 11 am (1500 GMT) on Monday (June 23), the Rubin team released the little images. It gives most of the public an opportunity to witness the odd detail of the lstst camera captured images.
“These sneak preview images promote Rubin’s uniqueness to look at the cosmos in a way that we have never done before, bringing heaven in life!” Andrés Alejandro Plazas Malagón, a researcher of Stanford University and part of the Community Science team at the Community Ogessvatory. “These preview images also promote goodness and software power used to reduce or ‘clean’ images: The LSST science pipelines.”
The image below shows the Triffid Nebula (also known as Mestier 20 or NGC 6514) in the upper right, located approximately 9,000 light years from the ground, and the Lagoon Nebula . These are the regions where the clouds of gas and dust have arrested the birth of new stars.
The above mentioned together with 678 distinct images Rubin took over 7 hours of time observation. By combining images like this, Rubin has the ability to disclose details if not too weak to see or practical invisible. It reveals gas clouds and dust consisting of this Nebulae in incredible detail.
“The image of Trifod-Lagoon shows these two nebulae or ‘Stellar Nursery ‘ The gas and dust regions were highlighted, made from 678 individual images, “said Plazas Malagón.” It’s very nice to see everyone’s scene! “
The image below showed a small section of Rubin’s overall view of Virgo Cluster. The bright stars ahead of this image are located closer to the house, lying in the Milky Way. In the background many galaxies are farther away than the Virgo cluster.
The image below shows another slight slice of rubin’s total view of Virgo Cluster. See below right of image the two prominents Spiral Grains. In the upper right of the image are three galaxies that collide and get together.
The image also has many other groups of distance galaxies, as well as a wealth of the stars in our galaxy. This is just a 50th of the whole image it comes from.
“Other preview images showed a part of Virgo Cluster, a galaxy cluster with capabilities of 3 hours of competent details, which are the images of details of viewing points in a picture of LSSCTCAM!” Plazas said Malagón.
After the release of these images, the next major step for Rubin with the origin of LSTST, which should take place in the next few months.
“Vera C. Rubin Ofpvatory and the first LSST project is a unique opportunity for the new generation,” says Bonito. “This is a good legacy for anyone who wants to approach science disciplines, offering a revolutionary tool for interpretation countries.”
Bonito added that the astrophysics can with rubin are more vague: an observation campaign will answer the wide scientific themes, and even the worst events that occur in heaven. “
And for 10 years before it, Rubin and Astronomy’s future is generally bright.
“These preview images also highlight the goodness and power of the LSST science pipeline software used to reduce or ‘clean’ the images,” Plazas concluded. “As an uninterrupted cosmologist and work in the development of the LSST science pipelinine and the introduction of LSSCAM, I am proud of and more excited in the future!”
