Fotos de la biografíaHappy Equinox! At our observatory site in Chile we are celebrating this change of season with images of the road to Cerro Tololo where we are beginning to see some añañucas, a beautiful red flowers typical of northern Chile, blending with the landscape of telescopes and the mountains.

Big milestone for DECam!📷🌌We are celebrating the 10 years of discovery of the 570-megapixel U.S. Department of Energy fabricated Dark Energy Camera at NOIRLab’s Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile with the release of a stunning image of the Lobster Nebula! It is a brilliant star-forming region located 8000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Scorpius. This image reveals bright, young stars surrounded by billowing clouds of dust and gas.

DECam has just passed the remarkable milestone of taking one million individual exposures, delivering on average 400 to 500 images per night 🤩. The image was unveiled at the DECam at 10 years: Looking Back, Looking Forward conference, which highlighted the outstanding DECam science results of the past 10 years and the exciting opportunities with DECam as astronomy looks to the future with Rubin Observatory, currently under construction on Cerro Pachón in Chile.

Woohoo!!!! Congratulations!!
Shouldn't that be discovery BY, not OF? Reads as if the camera was discovered 10 years ago! But grear work anyway. 👍

The SMARTS 0.9-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), a Program of NOIRLab has been used to capture an echo of the past in this gorgeous Image of the Week. RCW 86 is a literal shell of its former self, the gaseous remnant of a supernova. Some 11,000 years ago a white dwarf, itself the core of a former star, became too massive and spectacularly exploded in a Type Ia supernova. Besides being a spectacular stellar object, the remnant may have been created by the earliest recorded supernova, observed by Chinese astronomers in 185 AD in the same area between the constellations Circinus and Centaurus.

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.
