My best memories of DES observing are from observing runs during Xmas. I have had many observing runs during Xmas time and the food on Xmas Eve is gorgeous. Everyone on the mountain has dinner together, including the staff and their families. It is a great experience and memory. #DESendofnights #astronomy ... See MoreSee Less

During my time observing for DES, what I enjoyed most was being at CTIO during the announcement of the first ever neutron star merger event. Knowing that the galaxy which hosted this energetic, exciting event was observed in the same control room as our routine nightly observations was at once humbling and totally awe-inspiring.

I really loved being able to watch the sunsets from the top of Cerro Tololo; I sketched the Blanco telescope while sitting on the mountaintop and waiting for the sun to go down. The mountain in the background on the right is Cerro Pachón, and the little bumps on it are other telescope domes. From left to right they are the SOAR telescope (which I remember learning about in my intro astronomy class at Michigan State University!), Gemini South, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (also known as LSST, currently under construction).

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.
