The Synthesis Telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory
We describe an aperture synthesis radio telescope optimized for studies of the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM), providing the ability to image extended structures with high angular resolution over wide fields. The telescope produces images of atomic hydrogen emission using the 21-cm H i spectral line, and, simultaneously, continuum emission in two bands centred at 1420MHz and 408MHz, includi...
متن کاملThe Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Solar Constant Program
The Astrophysical Observatory of the Smithsonian Institution (APO) made measurements of the solar constant at many locations on the earth's surface from 1902 to 1962. These measurements have been interpreted by various authors to show that the sun has both a long-term secular change in brightness and cyclic variations. The same data set has been used by other authors to show that the sun is con...
متن کاملScience with Virtual Observatory Tools Astrophysical Virtual Observatory Scientist
The Virtual Observatory is now mature enough to produce cutting-edge science results. The exploitation of astronomical data beyond classical identification limits with interoperable tools for statistical identification of sources has become a reality. I present the discovery of 68 optically faint, obscured (i.e., type 2) active galactic nuclei (AGN) candidates in the two GOODS fields using the ...
متن کاملRadial Velocity Jitter in Stars from the California and Carnegie Planet Search at Keck Observatory
I present an empirical model for predicting a star’s radial velocity jitter from its B−V color, activity level, and absolute magnitude. This model is based on observations of ∼ 450 wellobserved stars from Keck Observatory for the California and Carnegie Planet Search Program. The model includes noise from both astrophysical sources and systematic errors, and describes jitter as generally increa...
متن کاملAstrophysical Neutrino Event Rates and Sensitivity for Neutrino Telescopes
Spectacular processes in astrophysical sites produce high-energy cosmic rays which are further accelerated by Fermi-shocks into a power-law spectrum. These, in passing through radiation fields and matter, produce neutrinos. Neutrino telescopes are designed with large detection volumes to observe such astrophysical sources. A large volume is necessary because the fluxes and cross-sections are sm...
