«We control the below - threshold harmonic
light emission by using electromagnetic fields with time - dependent ellipticity, like we have done to the above - threshold high - order harmonics,» said Chang referring to the creation
of a 67 - attosecond pulse
of extreme
ultraviolet light, which earned him international recognition.
By studying such a large data set — over 200,000 galaxies in 21 different wavelengths, or colors
of light, from
ultraviolet to infrared — astronomers compared the energy
emissions from galaxies across a wide swath
of space and time to read the history
of the universe.
The aftermath
of the neutron star collision detected in August included the gravitational waves spotted by LIGO and VIRGO (pale arcs); a near -
light - speed jet that produced gamma rays (magenta); expanding debris from a kilonova — an explosion similar to a supernova, but smaller — that produced
ultraviolet (violet), optical and infrared (blue - white to red)
emission; and X-rays (blue).
My work currently focuses on observations
of the
ultraviolet light emitted from small stars, and in particular flares
of that
emission.
These star - formation rate estimators include the
ultraviolet light that is emitted from young stars, the infrared
light that shows how much
of the
ultraviolet light was absorbed by dust, and the nebular
emission lines that are caused by young stars making the clouds
of gas around them glow and radiate.
This study makes the first direct comparison between the optical
emission line and the
ultraviolet and infrared tracers
of star formation and indicates that, despite the underlying uncertainties, astronomers can trust the nebular
emission lines as robust indicators
of the star - formation rate and the amount
of light that is obscured by dust in distant galaxies.
The Guo Shou Jing telescope was able to harvest short
ultraviolet light emissions from the 100,000 stars involved in the study, in the space
of a few weeks.
Rogier Windhorst, Sam Pascarelle, Arizona State University, STScI, NASA Larger true - color image
of ultraviolet emission redshifted to visible
light.
Figure 1 (a) represents the corrected visible
light from Neptune from 1950 to 2006; (b) shows the temperature anomalies
of the Earth; (c) shows the total solar irradiance as a percent variation by year; (d) shows the
ultraviolet emission from the Sun (Source: Hammel and Lockwood (2007)-RRB-.
