中文简介:
自2008年发射以来,美国国家航空航天局的费米伽马射线太空任务对高能天空的性质有了重大发现。费米大面积望远镜(LAT)是卫星上的一个仪器,每3小时对整个天空进行一次观测。它已经发现了4000多个新的伽马射线源。其中包括对数百个活跃星系的探测,为超大质量黑洞如何加速接近光速的粒子喷流提供了新的见解。费米发现了数十颗新的伽马射线发射脉冲星,这是发射前已知的六颗脉冲星的巨大飞跃。最值得注意的是,这些脉冲星中有相当一部分只在伽马射线中发光,在其他波段无法检测到。2010年,费米成为美国物理学会十大物理学相关新闻:银河系中两个巨大的伽马射线发射气泡的惊人发现。伽马射线暴监测器是这颗卫星上的第二个仪器,它正在发现所有宇宙距离尺度上的伽马射线暴,并且是发现两颗中子星合并的引力波信号对应物的基础。在这次演讲中,我将讨论这些观察结果的含义,并报告最新的令人兴奋的新结果。
课程简介: Since its launch in 2008, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Mission has made major discoveries on the nature of the high-energy sky. Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT) one of the instruments on the satellite surveys the entire sky every 3 hours. It has discovered more than 4,000 new sources of gamma-rays. These include detections of hundreds of active galaxies, providing fresh insight into how supermassive black holes can accelerate jets of particles moving close to the speed of light. Fermi has found scores of new gamma-ray–emitting pulsars, a huge leap on the six known before launch. Most remarkably, a significant fraction of these pulsars are shining only in gamma-rays and are undetectable at other wavebands. In 2010, Fermi made the American Physical Society’s top 10 physics-related news: the stunning discovery of two gigantic bubbles of gamma-ray emission emerging from the Milky Way Galaxy. The gamma-ray burst monitor, a second instrument on this satellite, is finding bursts of gamma-rays on all cosmic distance scales and was fundamental to discovering the counterparts to the gravitational wave signal of merging two neutron stars. In this talk, I will discuss the implications of these observations and report on the latest exciting new results.
