Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! To celebrate, we throwback to this day 2 years ago with this amazing mosaic picture of the Blanco Telescope made with photographs of many of the women of DES. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

You can read about many of these women on the DES Scientist of the week page: www.darkenergysurvey.org/education/scientist-of-the-week/

The Dark Energy Survey

In working on DES, I'm often amazed how truly international the project is. Multiple times at meetings or workshops, I've stopped and realized that of the 5-6 people I'm speaking with, I'm the only one from my country, and sometimes that's true of every other person in the group too! DES has member institutions on 4 continents, but the countries people grew up in is a much longer list. It's been a wonderful opportunity to meet people from all over the world. #DEST4TD

Thanks to Ross Cawthon (University of Wisconsin-Madison) for today's DES thought for the day! ... See MoreSee Less

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.
