Cosmic Microwave Background astronomy
described here is my own, unless specifically stated otherwise. To the best of my knowledge it has not, nor has any similar dissertation, been submitted for a degree, diploma or other qualification at this, or any other university. This dissertation does not exceed 60 000 words in length. To Isabel and Ffion ii I am not sure how the universe was formed. But it knew how to do it, and that is the...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Astronomy
Cosmic ray astronomy attempts to identify and study the sources of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. It is unique in its reliance on charged particles as the information carriers. While no discrete source of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays has been identified so far, a new generation of detectors is acquiring the huge exposure that is needed at the highest energies, where deflection by magnetic fields...
متن کاملThe beginning of cosmic ray astronomy
We discuss the anisotropic arrival directions of the ultra high energy cosmic rays detected by Auger which I consider one of the biggest discoverie in astrophysics during the last year.
متن کاملPhrase Detectives
In this Chapter we discuss Phrase Detectives, a Game-With-A-Purpose (GWAP) for anaphoric annotation that has been one of the first GWAPs for corpus annotation and one of the most successful. We discuss the architecture of the game, evaluate its results in terms of quantity and quality of data, and explain how the data were used to create a publically available corpus that can be used to study a...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the Future of Ultraviolet Astronomy
I describe the capabilities of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, scheduled for May 2009 installation on the Hubble Space Telescope. With a factor-of-ten increase in far-UV throughput for moderate-resolution spectroscopy, COS will enable a range of scientific programs that study hot stars, AGN, and gas in the interstellar medium, intergalactic medium, and galactic halos. We also plan a large-scal...
