We perform a realistic evaluation of the potential of IceCube, a kilometer-scale neutrino detector under construction at the South Pole, to detect neutrinos in the direction of the potential accelerators of the Galactic cosmic rays. We take fully account of the fact that the measurement of the energy of the secondary muons at the detector can be used to further discriminate between the signal and the background of atmospheric neutrinos. A PeVatron is defined as the accelerator of cosmic rays with energies of several PeV, the knee in the spectrum; it has a hard energy spectrum and produces secondary photons of hundreds of GeV on the interstellar medium. Assuming that the Milagro sources are PeVatrons, an IceCube analysis combining the information from the different sources can reveal them as such at the 3σ level in one year and at the 5σ level in three years. We discuss the dependence of these expectations on the considerable ambiguities associated with the source spectra. 相似文献

射电天文观测需要事先对射电源分布及天空背景有清晰的了解。目前国内射电天文台站缺乏射电天空与观测源分布可视化软件来对射电天空背景和观测源进行显示。开发一款简洁、移植性强的可视化软件,方便观测者直观地了解射电天空,帮助他们制定合理的观测计划。该软件使用C语言及PGPLOT子函数库编写,在Linux系统下运行,实现了星空的实时查询和按时查询,并支持用户更改观测台站、天空背景和射电源表等。该软件具有很好的扩展能力,将面向国内各天文台站及天文爱好者开源发布。 相似文献

我国新一代中国频谱射电日像仪(Chinese Spectral Radio Heliograph,CSRH)原始观测数据采用自定义格式,在进行后续处理与共享使用时必须转换相应的格式.在分析FITS-IDI(FITS Interferometry Data Interchange)格式的基础上,结合CSRH的实际观测模式与数据产出方式,定义与设计了符合项目情况的FITS-IDI格式及字段,并对FITS-IDI文件中若干字段的值如何获取、计算进行了深入讨论.根据定义生成的FITS-IDI文件已成功导入CASA软件,并可以进行后续处理.经过对CASA测量集文件的核实,证明了数据生成的正确性.本研究有效地推进了CSRH的建设工作,也对其他射电干涉阵数据存储有一定的参考价值. 相似文献

We discuss observations of the first galaxies, within cosmic reionization, at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths. We present
a summary of current observations of the host galaxies of the most distant QSOs (z∼6). These observations reveal the gas, dust, and star formation in the host galaxies on kpc-scales. These data imply an enriched
ISM in the QSO host galaxies within 1 Gyr of the big bang, and are consistent with models of coeval supermassive black hole
and spheroidal galaxy formation in major mergers at high redshift. Current instruments are limited to studying truly pathologic
objects at these redshifts, meaning hyper-luminous infrared galaxies (L

⊙). ALMA will provide the one to two orders of magnitude improvement in millimeter astronomy required to study normal star
forming galaxies (i.e. Ly-α emitters) at z∼6. ALMA will reveal, at sub-kpc spatial resolution, the thermal gas and dust—the fundamental fuel for star formation—in galaxies

We report and shortly discuss here the observational work carried out in order to test the possibility that two previously
detected radio sources, in the vicinity of the well known microquasar Cygnus X-3, could be hot spot tracers of interaction
between its relativistic jet and the interstellar medium (ISM). The motivation behind this search is in part justified considering
recent theoretical models of high energy γ-ray emission which strongly rely on the interaction sites of galactic relativistic jets with nearby ISM clouds.
The results presented in this paper include an improved radio exploration of the several arc-minute field around Cygnus X-3
using the Very Large Array (VLA), as well as deep near infrared (NIR) imaging with the Calar Alto 3.5 m telescope. We anticipate
here that our observations do not appear to support the initial hot spot hypothesis. Instead, the resulting images suggest
that the two radio sources, originally believed to be hot spot candidates, are most likely background or foreground objects. 相似文献

国家天文台分米波太阳射电频谱仪用新的观测模式获得太阳射电频谱的一些新的观测现象。新的观测模式频率在1.1—1.34GHz范围,时间分辨率是1.25ms;正常的观测模式下频率在1.1—2.06GHz范围,时间分辨率是5ms。在两种模式下频率分辨率为4MHz。发现窄带Ⅲ型爆发(“blips”)斑马纹(Zebra)和纤维结构(Fiber)中的超精细结构和一些新的精细结构。这些新的结果有助于深入理解在太阳耀斑期间低日冕中能量的释放和转移,也为拟建中的太阳射电频谱日像仪提出了新的要求。 相似文献

鉴于IERS综合河外射电源表在建立IAU协议天球参考架方面的重要意义和它们的不足之处,本文重新组建了1988至1992各年度的综合河外射电源表,称之为Cat系列表。并依据综合表的组建原理,对重新计算得到的Cat系列表进行了检验,结果表明Cat系列表克服了IERS系列表中坐标系不统一的缺点,指向的定义及维持亦较之IERS系列表有较大程度地改观。比较结果显示,IERS系列表中部分源的坐标存在毫角秒量级的偏差,各年度综合表的指向与IERS预期指向亦有不同程度的偏离,个别轴的最大指向偏差至0.6mas。同时指出,1993年IERS综合表的指向亦有待讨论。 相似文献

Radio emission in atmospheric showers is currently interpreted in terms of radiation due to the deviation of the charged particles in the magnetic field of the Earth and to the charge excess (Askaryan effect). Each of these mechanisms has a distinctive polarization. The complex signal patterns can be qualitatively explained as the interference (superposition) of the fields induced by each mechanism. In this work we explicitly and quantitatively test a simple phenomenological model based on this idea. The model is constructed by isolating each of the two components at the simulation level and by making use of approximate symmetries for each of the contributions separately. The results of the model are then checked against full ZHAireS Monte Carlo simulations of the electric field calculated from first principles. We show that the simple model describes radio emission at a few percent level in a wide range of shower-observer geometries and on a shower-by-shower basis. As a consequence, this approach provides a simple method to reduce the computing time needed to accurately predict the electric field of radio pulses emitted from air showers, with many practical applications in experimental situations of interest. 相似文献

Many of the key properties of Io’s atmosphere, such as its spatial distribution, temperature, column density and composition, are still not fully assessed despite decades of extensive observations. The contribution of the possible gas sources to the atmospheric replenishment are then still unclear.This paper presents disk-resolved observations performed with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) at 345 GHz of atmospheric rotational lines of the main atmospheric species SO2, and, for the first time, of the minor species SO and NaCl. All these species appear concentrated on the anti-jovian hemisphere, but do not share the same spatial distribution. The obtained maps and line-averaged fluxes are compared to realistic models simulating gas sources including volcanic plume outgassing, SO2 frost sublimation and photolysis. Arguments in favor of each sources are examined and compared to observations, putting constraints on their relative roles for each species.While sublimation clearly appears as the favored major source for SO2, SO2 photolysis may account for most of the production of SO. Using constraints on the volcanic plumes distribution from Galileo results, we find that direct volcanic input can only contribute for a minor fraction of atmospheric SO2, but represent a more significant source for SO atmosphere, and is likely to be the only source for NaCl. Temperature and column densities findings are also presented for SO2, and compare well to previously published observations and atmospheric models. 相似文献

The core collapse of a massive star in the Milky Way will produce a neutrino burst, intense enough to be detected by existing underground detectors. The AMANDA neutrino telescope located deep in the South Pole ice can detect MeV neutrinos by a collective rate increase in all photo-multipliers on top of dark noise. The main source of light comes from positrons produced in the CC reaction of anti-electron neutrinos on free protons
. This paper describes the first supernova search performed on the full sets of data taken during 1997 and 1998 (215 days of live time) with 302 of the detector's optical modules. No candidate events resulted from this search. The performance of the detector is calculated, yielding a 70% coverage of the galaxy with one background fake per year with 90% efficiency for the detector configuration under study. An upper limit at the 90% c.l. on the rate of stellar collapses in the Milky Way is derived, yielding 4.3 events per year. A trigger algorithm is presented and its performance estimated. Possible improvements of the detector hardware are reviewed. 相似文献
