ALMA ziet zuurstof in verst verwijderde bekende sterrenstelsel

Astronomen hebben met behulp van ALMA zuurstof gevonden in JADES-GS-z14-0, het verst verwijderde bekende sterrenstelsel dat ooit is gevonden. De waarneming, gedaan door twee verschillende teams, suggereert dat het sterrenstelsel chemisch volwassener is dan verwacht.

BTW, did I mention ALMA is now officially 12 years old? On March 13th, 2013, ALMA was famously commanded by then President Sebastián Piñera to point to the galactic center!

Since then, ALMA has been delivering stunning science year after year, and during Cycle 10 we managed to provide more than 4250 hours of quality data to our Principal Investigators, our highest number ever!

More on our 12 year anniversary at alma.loadingediciones.cl/dev/1

A picture of a celebratory cake with white frosting on a small table, with 12 ALMA-like antennas on top, together with 12 stars, and ALMA and 12 written in bold blue letters. Behind, a larger table has a round cloth with a white ALMA-like antenna printed on it, surrounded by white, light blue, and dark blue balloons with stars. That cloth is surrounded by additional things to eat, like plates of fruit, parfaits, jellies, and other delicacies.

Oxygen discovered in most distant known galaxy

www.eso.orgOxygen discovered in most distant known galaxyTwo different teams of astronomers have detected oxygen in the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0. The discovery, reported in two separate studies, was made possible thanks to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner. This record-breaking detection is making astronomers rethink how quickly galaxies formed in the early Universe.

We're hiring again! Now we're looking for an Science Archive Content Manager (aka SACM). This person will be a mamber of the Data Management Group, and will be integral on creating useful science data from the raw data generated by the observatory. And in the WSU era, they will be providing expertise on how to best reduce the data.

For that, we're looking for someone with a Master's degree in astronomy with minimum three years of relevant working experience. A PhD degree will be considered an asset.

The successful candidate must have experience in data processing of astronomical data, with a good command of Unix/Linux. If they have experience in sub-mm/radio interferometric and/or single-dish data reduction, and Python programming skills, that will be an asset

Of course, she or he must be fluent in English, with fluency in Spanish being an asset.

Does that look like you, or someone you know? Please help us and apply, or forward this vacancy!

Absence de grosse exoplanète autour de Véga (pour l'instant)
🔸 Véga est extrêmement importante dans les études des disques de débris, à la fois pour sa proéminence et aussi parce qu'elle permet la résolution physique la plus élevée parmi tous les systèmes de débris autour de l'étoile.

Les scientifiques de l'EHT effectuent des observations à la plus haute résolution jamais réalisées depuis la surface de la Terre

www.eso.orgLes scientifiques de l'EHT effectuent des observations à la plus haute résolution jamais réalisées depuis la surface de la TerreLa collaboration Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) a mené des observations test, en utilisant Alma (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) et d'autres installations, qui ont permis d'atteindre la plus haute résolution jamais obtenue depuis la surface de la Terre [1]. Ils ont réussi cet exploit en détectant la lumière de galaxies lointaines à une fréquence d'environ 345 GHz, ce qui équivaut à une longueur d'onde de 0,87 mm. La collaboration estime qu'à l'avenir, elle sera en mesure de produire des images de trous noirs 50 % plus détaillées qu'auparavant, en mettant en évidence la région située immédiatement à l'extérieur de la limite des trous noirs supermassifs proches. Ils seront également en mesure de prendre des images d'un plus grand nombre de trous noirs qu'ils ne l'ont fait jusqu'à présent. Les nouvelles détections, qui font partie d'une expérience pilote, ont été publiées aujourd'hui dans The Astronomical Journal.

ALMA, as part of the Event Horizon Telescope, is unveiling a new image of our Milky Way's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, in which strong magnetic fields can be seen…

The most exciting part is that this hints to a jet that would be hidden from our vantage point in our galaxy… but imagine that! We might be like M87, just at a smaller scale!

almaobservatory.org/en/press-r

Event Horizon Telescope image of Sag A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The background is mostly black, but a kind of hairy, slightly squashed donut shape in orange can be seen. The central blackness is the shadow of the Sag A*. The hairy aspect comes from visualising the strength of the magnetic field.
Messier object 87 by Hubble space telescope. This is the galactic core shown as a composite image of visible and infrared observations in order to resolve the blue jet. The field of view is about 1.5 arc minutes across, the jet extends to about a third of an arc minute (or 20 arc seconds) with a width of about 2 arc seconds (absolute length 5 kly at a distance of 53 Mly).
