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 کاملSelf-collimation and Magnetic Field Generation of Astrophysical Jets
A novel model for collimation and transport of electron-positron-ion jets is presented. Analytical results show that the filamentary structures can be sustained by self-induced toroidal magnetic fields permeating through the filaments, whose widths significantly expand in the pair-dominant regimes. The magnetic field strength reflects a characteristic of equipartition of excess kinetic energy o...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in astrophysical objects.
Magnetic fields are known to reside in many astrophysical objects and are now believed to be crucially important for the creation of phenomena on a wide variety of scales. However, the role of the magnetic field in the bodies that we observe has not always been clear. In certain situations, the importance of a magnetic field has been overlooked on the grounds that the large-scale magnetic field...
