  • Philippa Hartley Title Abstract
    Philippa Hartley Title Cosmic telescopes: witnessing the emission mechanism of radio quiet quasars Abstract The quasar model has reached relative maturity: we know that light is emitted at great power across the electromagnetic spectrum from the active nuclei of distant galaxies, where violent accretion processes release huge amounts of energy from gravitational stores. We observe that, in some quasars, matter falling onto the central black hole is funnneled into dramatic jets, emitting radio light across galactic distances. Over cosmic history the quasar population peaked in unison with star formation activity, leading us to suspect the role of quasars in the quenching of star-formation. Missing from the picture, however, is a full understanding of how such feedback processes manifest in the vast majority of quasars: those objects with very little radio emission. In these 'radio-quiet' quasars, jets appear to be absent, and it is possible that the faint radio signal that we do detect is the result either of smaller-scale AGN activity, of continued star formation, or of both. Only by undestanding the source of this very faint emission can we fully understand the quasar stage of galaxy evolution. This talk presents findings using strong gravitational lenses as 'cosmic telescopes' that magnify distant source structure, allowing us to resolve these intriguing objects to the sub-parsec scale.

  • Asian Nobel Prize' for Mapping the Universe 27 May 2010
    Scientists win 'Asian Nobel Prize' for mapping the universe 27 May 2010 Three US scientists whose work helped map the category. universe are among the recipients of the one- million-US-dollar Shaw Prize, known as the "Asian (c) 2010 AFP Nobel," the competition's organisers said Thursday. Princeton University professors Lyman Page and David Spergel and Charles Bennett of Johns Hopkins University, won the award for an experiment that helped to determine the "geometry, age and composition of the universe to unprecedented precision." The trio will share the Shaw Prize's award for astronomy, with one-million-US-dollar prizes also awarded in the categories for mathematical sciences and life sciences and medicine. The University of California's David Julius won the award for life sciences and medicine for his "seminal discoveries" of how the skin senses pain and temperature, the organisers' statement said. "(Julius's) work has provided insights into fundamental mechanisms underlying the sense of touch as well as knowledge that opens the door to rational drug design for the treatment of chronic pain," the statement said. Princeton's Jean Bourgain won an award for his "profound work" in mathematical sciences, it said. The Shaw Prize, funded by Hong Kong film producer and philanthropist Run Run Shaw and first awarded in 2004, honours exceptional contributions "to the advancement of civilization and the well-being of humankind." The awards will be presented at a ceremony in Hong Kong on September 28. Last year, two scientists whose work challenged the assumption that obesity is caused by a lack of will power won the life sciences and medicine 1 / 2 APA citation: Scientists win 'Asian Nobel Prize' for mapping the universe (2010, May 27) retrieved 27 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2010-05-scientists-asian-nobel-prize-universe.html This document is subject to copyright.

  • Professor Peter Goldreich Member of the Board of Adjudicators Chairman of the Selection Committee for the Prize in Astronomy
    The Shaw Prize The Shaw Prize is an international award to honour individuals who are currently active in their respective fields and who have recently achieved distinguished and significant advances, who have made outstanding contributions in academic and scientific research or applications, or who in other domains have achieved excellence. The award is dedicated to furthering societal progress, enhancing quality of life, and enriching humanity’s spiritual civilization. Preference is to be given to individuals whose significant work was recently achieved and who are currently active in their respective fields. Founder's Biographical Note The Shaw Prize was established under the auspices of Mr Run Run Shaw. Mr Shaw, born in China in 1907, was a native of Ningbo County, Zhejiang Province. He joined his brother’s film company in China in the 1920s. During the 1950s he founded the film company Shaw Brothers (HK) Limited in Hong Kong. He was one of the founding members of Television Broadcasts Limited launched in Hong Kong in 1967. Mr Shaw also founded two charities, The Shaw Foundation Hong Kong and The Sir Run Run Shaw Charitable Trust, both dedicated to the promotion of education, scientific and technological research, medical and welfare services, and culture and the arts. ~ 1 ~ Message from the Chief Executive I warmly congratulate the six Shaw Laureates of 2014. Established in 2002 under the auspices of Mr Run Run Shaw, the Shaw Prize is a highly prestigious recognition of the role that scientists play in shaping the development of a modern world. Since the first award in 2004, 54 leading international scientists have been honoured for their ground-breaking discoveries which have expanded the frontiers of human knowledge and made significant contributions to humankind.

  • David Spergel Is the Director of the Center for Computational Astrophysics and the Charles Young Professor of Astronomy at Princeton University
    David Spergel is the director of the Center for Computational Astrophysics and the Charles Young Professor of Astronomy at Princeton University. He is the former chair of the Space Studies Board. Using microwave background observations from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, Spergel has measured the age, shape and composition of the universe. These observations have played a significant role in establishing the standard model of cosmology. He is one of the leaders of the Simons Observatory, which will include a planned millimeter-wave telescope that will allow us to take the next step in studying the microwave sky and probing the history of the universe. Spergel is currently co-chair of the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) science team. WFIRST will study the nature of dark energy, complete the demographic survey of extrasolar planets, characterize the atmospheres of nearby planets and survey the universe with more than 100 times the field of view of the Hubble Space Telescope. Spergel has played a significant role in designing the coronagraph and in shaping the overall mission. Since completing my Ph.D. work, Spergel has been interested in using laboratory experiments and astronomical observations to probe the nature of dark matter and look for new physics. Recently, Spergel has been active in the exploration of data from the Gaia satellite and observations made by Subaru’s Hyper Suprime-Cam. Spergel serves as co-chair of the Global Coordination of Ground and Space Astrophysics working group of the International Astronomical Union. At Princeton, Spergel was department chair for a decade.

  • Prospects for Weak Lensing Studies with New Radio Telescopes
    PROSPECTS FOR WEAK LENSING STUDIES WITH NEW RADIO TELESCOPES MICHAEL L. BROWN Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL I consider the prospects for performing weak lensing studies with the new generation of radio telescopes that are coming online now and in the future. I include a description of a proposed technique to use polarization observations in radio weak lensing analyses which could prove extremely useful for removing a contaminating signal from intrinsic alignments. Ultimately, the Square Kilometre Array promises to be an exceptional instrument for performing weak lensing studies due to the high resolution, large area surveys which it will perform. In the nearer term, the e-MERLIN instrument in the UK offers the high sensitivity and sub-arcsec resolution required to prove weak lensing techniques in the radio band. I describe the Su- perCLASS survey – a recently accepted e-MERLIN legacy programme which will perform a pioneering radio weak lensing analysis of a supercluster of galaxies. 1 Weak lensing in the radio band Weak gravitational lensing is the coherent distortion in the images of faint background galaxies due to gravitational light deflection caused by intervening (dark) matter distributions. On the very largest scales, the effect traces the large scale structure of the Universe and is known as cosmic shear. The vast majority of weak lensing surveys to date have been conducted in the optical bands since large numbers of background galaxies are required in order to measure the small (∼ a few %) distortions. However, a new generation of powerful radio facilities is now imminent which makes weak lensing in the radio band a viable alternative.
