Neutrino Astronomy at the South Pole
IceCube is currently being built deep in the glacial ice beneath the South Pole. In its second year of construction, it is already larger than its predecessor, AMANDA. AMANDA continues to collect high energy neutrino and muon data as an independent detector until it is integrated with IceCube. After introducing both detectors, recent results from AMANDA and a status report on IceCube are presen...
متن کاملFrom AMANDA to IceCube: Neutrino Astronomy at the South Pole
AMANDA at the South Pole has been the world’s largest high-energy neutrino telescope. It is now an integral part of the IceCube neutrino observatory presently under construction at the same location. A summary of the recent results from AMANDA is presented and a report on the first two construction seasons of the IceCube telescope is given.
متن کاملSite testing for submillimetre astronomy at Dome C, Antarctica
Aims. Over the past few years a major effort has been put into the exploration of potential sites for the deployment of submillimetre astronomical facilities. Amongst the most important sites are Dome C and Dome A on the Antarctic Plateau, and the Chajnantor area in Chile. In this context, we report on measurements of the sky opacity at 200 μm over a period of three years at the French-Italian ...
متن کاملAstronomy and Astrophysics Co at the Centre of M 82
Using the IRAM interferometer, we have observed the nearby starburst galaxy M82 with a 4. 2 resolution (≃ 70 pc) in the 1→0 line of CO and in the λ 2.6-mm continuum. The spatial distribution of the CO line shows the same gross features as the CO(1→0) map of Shen & Lo (1995), namely two lobes and a compact central source, though with different relative intensities. The lobes are more conspicuous...
متن کاملComputing and telescopes at the frontiers of optical astronomy
recording and understanding the stars and planets back thousands of years. But it was not until the early 17th century with the telescope’s invention that we recorded the first astronomical “images,” hand drawings of our Moon’s surfaces, the Sun, Venus, and Saturn, and Jupiter’s satellites. Detailed drawings by Galileo Galilei and others surpassed anything previously seen and were pivotal in ad...
