Supernova Puzzles and Gamma - Ray Astronomy
The signiicance of supernovae for the Compton GRO has lain primarily in the large amount of radioactivity that they eject. This activity and its daughters nd their way into the interstellar medium and into other arenas of astrophysics. Direct measures of the quantity of such activity carries profound information that is not available from observations of stable nuclei. CGRO has had both success...
متن کاملGravitational wave astronomy - astronomy of the 21st century
An enigmatic prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity are gravitational waves. With the observed decay in the orbit of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar agreeing within a fraction of a percent with the theoretically computed decay from Einstein’s theory the existence of gravitational waves was firmly established. Currently there is a worldwide effort to detect gravitational waves with...
متن کاملAstroinformatics: A 21st Century Approach to Astronomy
Data volumes from multiple sky surveys have grown from gigabytes into terabytes during the past decade, and will grow from terabytes into tens (or hundreds) of petabytes in the next decade. This exponential growth of new data both enables and challenges effective astronomical research, requiring new approaches. Thus far, astronomy has tended to address these challenges in an informal and ad hoc...
متن کاملTeaching and learning astronomy in the 21st century
class about Newton’s law of gravitation. You’ve carefully explained that the gravitational force depends on the product of the two masses involved and on the inverse square of the distance between them. You’ve shown a few examples or perhaps videos and animations to help your students connect the abstraction of an equation to the real physical world. You may assign thoughtful homework problems,...
متن کاملBaltic Astronomy, vol. 16, 251–285, 2007. X-RAY PROFILES IN SYMMETRIC AND ASYMMETRIC SUPERNOVA REMNANTS
The nonthermal X-rays from the SNR 1006 NE rim present characteristic scale lengths that are interpreted in the context of diffusion of a relativistic electron. The adopted theoretical framework is the mathematical diffusion in 3D, 1D and 1D with drift as well as the Monte Carlo random walk in 1D with drift. The asymmetric random walk with diffusion from a plane can explain the scale widths of ...
