MACHINES Herschel

چکیده
The machine control problem is normally approached from the perspective of having a central body of intelligence (and control) in the machine [Albus, 1991]. However, we present a conceptual design of a machine using distributed learning and intelligence. This new design is loosely based on biological models of social insects. For example, in an ant colony each ant functions according to local rules of behavior [Hölldobler and Wilson, 1990, see chapters 8 and 9]. There is no “king” or “queen”, although the latter name has been given to the reproducing ant. Following a similar approach, we present a modular machine architecture in which each machine element has local rules of behavior (and local learning) along with a global element that influences local behavior (but does not dictate actions). A prime goal is to develop methods of learning and behavior modification that ensure global stability and optimization of the total machine; we discuss the theoretical aspects of ensuring such optimal performance.

The Herschel first look at protostars in the Aquila rift*
As part of the science demonstration phase of the Herschel mission of the Gould Belt key program, the Aquila rift molecular complex has been observed. The complete ∼3.3◦ × 3.3◦ imaging with SPIRE 250/350/500 μm and PACS 70/160 μm allows a deep investigation of embedded protostellar phases, probing of the dust emission from warm inner regions at 70 and 160 μm to the bulk of the cold envelopes be...
متن کاملWhat determines the density structure of molecular clouds? A case study of Orion B with Herschel
We present Herschel observations from the Herschel Gould Belt Survey and SCUBA-2 science verification observations from the JCMT Gould Belt Survey of the B1 clump in the Perseus molecular cloud. We determined the dust emissivity index using four different techniques to combine the Herschel PACS+SPIRE data at 160–500μm with the SCUBA-2 data at 450μm and 850μm. Of our four techniques, we found th...

متن کاملPredicted colors and flux densities of protostars in the Herschel PACS and SPIRE filters*
Upcoming surveys with the Herschel Space Observatory will yield far-IR photometry of large samples of young stellar objects, which will require careful interpretation. We investigate the color and luminosity diagnostics based on Herschel broad-band filters to identify and discern the properties of low-mass protostars. We compute a grid of 2016 protostars in various physical congurations, presen...
