Gamma-ray Bursts - a Puzzle Being Resolved
For a few seconds a gamma-ray burst (GRB) becomes the brightest object in the Universe, over-shining the rest of the Universe combined! Clearly this reflects extreme conditions that are fascinating and worth exploring. The recent discovery of GRB afterglow have demonstrated that we are on the right track towards the resolution of this long standing puzzle. These observations have confirmed the ...
متن کاملInstrumentation: astronomers look to nanotechnology.
nature nanotechnology | VOL 3 | AUGUST 2008 | www.nature.com/naturenanotechnology 459 and protective shell. The nanoscale and hydrophobic structures of the network enable the otherwise water-absorbing cotton to repel water nearly as efficiently as the lotus leaf. Furthermore, the treated fabrics are stronger and more resistant to tears. Nanotube concentrations of over 2% in the applied emulsion...
متن کاملDiminutive Galaxies Occasionally Experience Spectacular Bursts of Star Formation.these Starbursts Are Giving Astronomers a Glimpse of the Universe's Early History
GALACTIC MERGER triggers star formation in this artist’s conception of the evolution of dwarf starburst galaxy II Zw 40. In the first stage (left), two dwarf galaxies consisting of old red stars and clouds of atomic gas (yellow) are pulled by gravitational attraction into orbit around each other. As they spiral closer, tails of gas and stars are drawn out by tidal forces (above) and clumps of y...
متن کاملInformation seeking behavior of Greek astronomers
This study examines three aspects of information seeking behaviour of astronomers in Greece including a) the importance they place in keeping upto-date with current developments b) the methods they depend on for keeping up-to-date and c) the information sources they mostly use. We adopted an intradisciplinary approach in order to investigate similarities and differences in information seeking b...
متن کاملThe Selection of Tenured Astronomers in France
The organization of the recruitment of tenured astronomers and astrophysicists in France is presented and compared with the setup in other countries. The ages for getting tenure have increased from 27-28 in 1980 to 31 today. Foreign scientists constitute at least 11% of the recruits and the delay in their hiring is quantified. The large reliance on national tenure committees is justified, while...
