Scientists use "alpha" receiver for space exploration
According to the latest space news network, astronomers recently in Baltic brother through the "Departamento cyber" (Arecibo) radio telescope with "alpha" (ALFA) sink to the space for a series of activities, collected a wealth of new data.
"Alfa" sink is similar in size and washing machine, it is essentially an electronic detection system is determined by the Australia national astronomy and ionosphere Center for scientists and engineers developed jointly. Astronomers can it can detect large particles flying marks and shooting, such as for detection of pulsars.
Participation in this space observation operations of Cornell University scientists Jimmy · Chris Rhodes (tone) said, "you can say, ' alpha ' receiver makes ' Arevalo Cyber ' radio telescope of features and a new level. We are to do one thing only ' Arevalo Cyber ' telescope to complete things, but its functionality has been enhanced. We mainly use the ' alpha ' receivers to observing the universe of pulsars and quality great neutron star collision resulting Supernova, observation of results will deepen our understanding of the Einstein theory of relativity. ”
"Alfa" sink the former head of Stephen design · Thor their Niesky (tone) that "to date, the ' alpha ' receiver has identified approximately 1000 we previously unknown galaxies. We hope to be able to find something that will let us surprise. We can also take advantage of it to the limit of Einstein's theory of relativity, and through this test on gravitational wave research. ”
Astronomers this using the "alpha" receiver for space observations mainly on Galaxy flow in hydrogen situation for observation, and from other galaxies to track the source of radio waves, scientists have gained a lot of rich data resources. Cornell Theory Center University scientists have built a new computer system to manage this observation was the huge data resources.
Astronomers predict, "alpha" receiver in the next six years will be able to detect some 2 000 unknown galaxies, one of the most distant from the Earth will have 7.5 billion light years. Prior to this, the scientists have never seen can be the huge dark matter and compare hydrogen clouds, this observation will also formation of Ginkgo Biloba and evolutionary process provides new evidence.
"Alfa" receiver project leader Richard Rowe · Kat ova areni (tone) that in the observed action, we are also in a small area for a similar observation activities. (Huichun compilation)
