Astronomen haben das größte Niederfrequenz-Radiofarbbild der Milchstraße erstellt, das jemals erstellt wurde. Das spektakuläre neue Bild fängt die Sicht unserer Milchstraße auf der südlichen Hemisphäre ein und zeigt sie in einem breiten Spektrum von Radiowellenlängen oder „Farben“ des Radiolichts.
A new, expansive view of the Milky Way reveals our Galaxy in unprecedented radio colour
1 Kommentar
Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have created the largest low-frequency radio colour image of the Milky Way ever assembled.
This spectacular new image captures the Southern Hemisphere view of our Milky Way galaxy, revealing it across a wide range of radio wavelengths, or ‘colours’ of radio light.
It provides astronomers with new ways to explore the birth, evolution, and death of stars in our Galaxy.
Silvia Mantovanini, a PhD student at the Curtin University node of ICRAR, dedicated 18 months and over 40,000 hours to construct the image by using the supercomputers at the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre to process and compile the data from two extensive surveys.
The surveys were conducted using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope located at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-Astronomy Observatory on Wajarri Yamaji Country in Western Australia.
