Wow! Check out from left to right the 0.9 meter Curtis Schmidt Telescope, Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope and the SMARTS 1.5 and 0.9-meter telescopes at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile for some spectacular Southern star trails. A night to remember!

Happy #PrideMonth! Here at National Science Foundation (NSF)’s NOIRLab, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and respectful community for our LGBTQIA+ colleagues, friends, and family members. The range of identities we #pride ourselves in are as expansive as the Universe itself, and we welcome them all! At all of our facilities in Arizona, Hawai‘i, and Chile, we will be handing out specially-made buttons that promote a welcoming environment for all our staff as we continue to advance #astronomy. 🏳️‍🌈

How will you be celebrating #Pride2023? ... See MoreSee Less

What a view! ✨The massive, star-forming interstellar cloud Lupus 3 is captured with the 570-megapixel U.S. Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera at NOIRLab’s Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile. The dazzling central region of this sprawling cloud reveals a pair of infant stars bursting from their natal cocoons of dust and gas to illuminate the reflection nebula known as Bernes 149. These contrasting regions make this object a prime target of research on star formation.

Check out this view of NGC 1808, a barred spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation Columba (the dove). This image was captured using the Dark Energy Camera which is mounted on the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) Tololo, a Program of National Science Foundation (NSF)’s NOIRLab in Chile.

The core of NGC 1808 is thought to house a supermassive black hole, characterized by its accretion of material and higher-than-normal brightness. The smoldering center is closely surrounded by a faint blue ring populated with star clusters and supernova remnants. This region is defined by its starburst activity, producing an exceptional number of hot, bright, young stars. The abundance of rapid star formation is thought to be the result of past tidal interactions with the nearby galaxy NGC 1792. Laced throughout this middle region of NGC 1808 are dark dust lanes resulting from large outflows of hydrogen gas from the galactic nucleus. The softly glowing outer arms surrounding the galaxy are slightly warped, again pointing to tidal interactions with NGC 1792. Such an interaction could have created the asymmetrical shape of NGC 1808 and hurled gas towards the nucleus, igniting the rapid star formation in its surrounding ring.

Observações com a câmera DECam revelam a natureza de evento de ondas gravitacionais

October 16, 2017 1:52 pm

Cientistas usando a câmera do levantamento Dark Energy Survey (DES) capturaram imagens do resultado de uma colisão entre estrelas de nêutrons, evento que produziu a detecção de onda gravitacional mais recente (GW170817) pelos observatórios LIGO e Virgo. Uma equipe de cientistas usando a Dark Energy Camera (DECam), a principal ferramenta de observação do Dark Energy Survey, estão entre os primeiros a observar as consequências de um surto de ondas gravitacional detectado recentemente, registrando imagens da primeira explosão confirmada como consequência da fusão de duas estrelas de nêutrons. Esse violento processo de fusão, ocorrido há 130 milhões de anos em uma galáxia próxima à nossa (NGC 4993), é a fonte das ondas gravitacionais detectadas pelo Observatório Interferométrico de Ondas Gravitacionais (LIGO) e Interferômetro Virgo em 17 de agosto.
