Tyson20 Received 2006 April 25; accepted 2006 June 28 ABSTRACT The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) is designed to probe the correlated evolution of galaxies, star formation, active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and dark matter (DM) with large-scale structure (LSS) over the redshift range z > 0:5Y6. The survey includes multiwavelength imaging and spectroscopy from X-rayYtoYradio wavelengths covering a 2 deg2 area, including HST imaging. Given the very high sensitivity and resolution of these data sets, COSMOS also provides unprecedented samples of objects at high redshift with greatly reduced cosmic variance, compared to earlier surveys. Here we provide a brief overview of the survey strategy, the characteristics of the major COSMOS data sets, and a summary the science goals. Subject headinggs: cosmology: observations — dark matter — galaxies: evolution — galaxies: formation — large-scale structure of universe — surveys 1. INTRODUCTION multiband imaging and spectroscopy provide redshifts and hence cosmic ages for these populations. Most briefly, the early universe Our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies and their large-scale structures (LSSs) has advanced enormously galaxies were more irregular/interacting than at present and the overall cosmic star formation rate probably peaked at z 1Y3 over the last decade—a result of a phenomenal synergy between with 10Y30 times the current rates (Lilly et al. -

HEIC0701: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 19:30 (CET)/01:30 PM EST 7 January, 2007 http://www.spacetelescope.org/news/html/heic0701.html News release: First 3D map of the Universe’s Dark Matter scaffolding 7-January-2007 By analysing the COSMOS survey – the largest ever survey undertaken with Hubble – an international team of scientists has assembled one of the most important results in cosmology: a three-dimensional map that offers a first look at the web-like large-scale distribution of dark matter in the Universe. This historic achievement accurately confirms standard theories of structure formation. For astronomers, the challenge of mapping the Universe has been similar to mapping a city from night-time aerial snapshots showing only streetlights. These pick out a few interesting neighbourhoods, but most of the structure of the city remains obscured. Similarly, we see planets, stars and galaxies in the night sky; but these are constructed from ordinary matter, which accounts in total for only one sixth of the total mass in the Universe. The remainder is a mysterious component - dark matter - that neither emits nor reflects light. An international team of astronomers led by Richard Massey of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), USA, has made a three-dimensional map that offers a first look at the web-like large-scale distribution of dark matter in the Universe in unprecedented detail. This new map is equivalent to seeing a city, its suburbs and surrounding country roads in daylight for the first time. Major arteries and intersections are revealed and the variety of different neighbourhoods becomes evident. -

Making a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) About Astrobiology: Why? for Whom? How?
EPJ Web of Conferences 200, 01019 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/201920001019 ISE2A 2017 Making a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) about Astrobiology: Why? For Whom? How? Charles H. Lineweaver1,* 1Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics and the Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia Abstract. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are becoming the textbooks of the 21st century. I describe what a MOOC is, and try to answer the questions: Why make a MOOC? Who are MOOCs for? and How to make a MOOC? Anxiety about MOOCs replacing teachers is largely misplaced. I describe my on-going experience of putting together an astrobiology MOOC for the Australian National University. 1 What is a MOOC? 1.1 History: from tutoring, to lecturing, to MOOCing Socrates, Plato and Aristotle participated in private tutoring and small group discussions (Fig. 1). They did not give lectures to hundreds of students. Lectures seem to have been invented by the first European universities in the 13th or 14th centuries (Fig. 2). N.B. this was before the 1440 invention of the printing press by Gutenberg. At our meeting, the International Symposium on Education in Astronomy and Astrobiology, Karen Meech recounted some of her experiences organizing workshops, schools and fieldtrips. The most rewarding permanent learning and bonding was done with “long small meaningful discussions” in the context of a community of learners in some kind of isolation from the world. She seemed agnostic about the type of isolation: Hawaiian military barracks, island monasteries, ivory towers, Walden ponds, even deserts would do. -

We’ve always managed to stay productive, with contri- butions big and small to a plethora of projects like the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Dark Energy Survey, the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, the Gemini Planet Imager and many, many more—not to mention theory and data analysis, simulations, and research with publicly available data. We have no shortage of scientific topics to keep us occupied. But we are currently hard at work building a variety of new experimental instru- ments, and preparing to reap the benefits of some very long-range planning that will keep KIPAC scientists busy studying our universe in almost every wavelength and during almost every major epoch of the evolution of the universe, into the late 2020s and beyond. -

Frontiers of Astrobiology Edited by Chris Impey, Jonathan Lunine and José Funes Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-00641-6 - Frontiers of Astrobiology Edited by Chris Impey, Jonathan Lunine and José Funes Frontmatter More information Frontiers of Astrobiology Astrobiology is an exciting interdisciplinary field that seeks to answer one of the most important and profound questions: Are we alone? In this volume, leading international experts explore the frontiers of astrobiology, investigating the latest research questions that will fascinate a wide interdisciplinary audience at all levels. What is the earliest evidence for life on Earth? Where are the most likely sites for life in the Solar System? Could life have evolved elsewhere in the Galaxy? What are the best strategies for detecting intelligent extraterrestrial life? How many habitable or Earth-like exoplanets are there? Progress in astrobiology over the past decade has been rapid and, with evidence accumulating that Mars once hosted standing bodies of liquid water, the discovery of over 700 exoplanets, and new insights into how life began on Earth, the scientific search for our origins and place in the cosmos continues. The book is based on a meeting at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which gathered leading researchers to present state-of-the-art reviews on their research and address topics at the forefront of astrobiology. CHRIS IMPEY is a University Distinguished Professor and Deputy Head of the Depart- ment of Astronomy at the University of Arizona, Tucson. His research interests are observational cosmology, gravitational lensing, and the evolution and structure of galaxies. He is a past Vice President of the American Astronomical Society, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has been NSF Distinguished Teaching Scholar, Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar, and the Carnegie Council on Teaching’s Arizona Professor of the Year.
