Brown Dwarf Duo Orbits Cool Star caltech 2024-10-16 | This animation shows a close-knit pair of brown dwarfs orbiting closely around each other, then pans out to show the dancing duo in orbit around a cool M-dwarf star. Nearly 30 years ago, this pair was thought to be in fact just a single brown dwarf. Called Gliese 229 B, the object was the first brown dwarf ever discovered and has been extensively studied for years. It took observations from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile to ultimately reveal the true nature of the object: a tight-knit pair now called Gliese 229 Ba and Gliese 229 Bb. The two brown dwarfs, weighing about 38 and 34 times the mass of Jupiter, whip around each other every 12 days, and together orbit the M-dwarf star every 250 years. Image credit: Credits: K.

Smoke Visualization of Turbulence for FALCON caltech 2024-10-15 | In a new paper in the journal _npj Robotics,_ a team of researchers from Caltech and Nvidia describes a control strategy they have developed for unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, called FALCON (Fourier Adaptive Learning and CONtrol). The strategy uses reinforcement learning, a form of artificial intelligence, to adaptively learn how turbulent wind can change over time and then uses that knowledge to control a UAV based on what it is experiencing in real time.In experiments in the John W. Lucas Wind Tunnel at Caltech, the team used the large cylinder shown here to create turbulence under high wind speeds and then studied FALCON’s response using the airfoil wing system outfitted with nine sensors and a load cell to measure lift. This slow-mo video, taken with smoke for visualization purposes, was obtained in a different wind tunnel at significantly lower flow speed than the actual experiments.More info: https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/ai-trained-vehicles-can-adjust-to-extreme-turbulence-on-the-flynature.com/articles/s44182-024-00013-0.epdf

Porphyrion’s Giant Jets (animation) caltech 2024-09-18 | This artist's animation flies around the giant jet system known as Porphyrion, the biggest set of cosmic jets discovered to date. The jets shoot out from above and below a supermassive black hole at the heart of a massive galaxy lying 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. The jets expel cosmic rays, heat, heavy atoms, and magnetic fields, influencing the surrounding cosmic web, a vast network of wispy filaments that connect and feed galaxies in the universe. The bipolar jets drill their way through the surrounding intergalactic medium. Where the ends of the jets hit this medium, a hotspot forms, surrounded by a shock wave. The core of the jet system is the host galaxy containing the supermassive black hole. The backflow consists of material from the hotspot that has decelerated and flowed back toward the host galaxy.

Porphyrion’s Giant Jets Blast Across Space caltech 2024-09-18 | Astronomers have spotted the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen, spanning 23 million light-years in total length. That's equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back. The jet megastructure, nicknamed Porphyrion after a giant in Greek mythology, dates to a time when our universe was 6.3 billion years old, or less than half its present age of 13.8 billion years. These fierce outflows—with a total power output equivalent to trillions of suns—shoot out from above and below a supermassive black hole at the heart of a remote galaxy. Prior to Porphyrion's discovery, the largest confirmed jet system was Alcyoneus, also named after a giant in Greek mythology. Alcyoneus, which was discovered in 2022 by the same team that found Porphyrion, spans the equivalent of around 100 Milky Ways. For comparison, the well-known Centaurus A jets, the closest major jet system to Earth, spans 10 Milky Ways. The latest finding suggests that these giant jet systems may have had a larger influence on the formation of galaxies in the young universe than previously believed. Porphyrion existed during an early epoch when the wispy filaments that connect and feed galaxies, known as the cosmic web, were closer together than they are now. That means enormous jets like Porphyrion reached across a greater portion of the cosmic web compared to jets in the local universe.More info: https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/gargantuan-black-hole-jets-are-biggest-seen-yet

Dark Matter and Normal Matter Decouple caltech 2024-07-24 | This artist's animation depicts a collision between two massive clusters of galaxies. As the collision progresses, the dark matter in the galaxy clusters (blue) moves ahead of the associated clouds of hot gas, or normal matter (orange). This happens because, while both dark matter and normal matter feel the pull of gravity, only the normal matter experiences additional effects like shocks and turbulence, which slow it down during the collision. In this animation, the clusters are pictured in an orientation similar to that of the well-known Bullet Cluster collision, where the separation of dark matter and normal matter is observed as a spatial offset. From our view on Earth, MACS J0018.5 is in fact rotated nearly 90 degrees relative to the Bullet cluster and from what is depicted here. In other words, the two massive clusters in MACS J0018.5 are positioned such that one is flying toward us, and the other is flying away. This unique perspective allowed researchers to measure velocity differences between the dark matter and normal matter in a cluster collision for the first time.Image credit: W.M.

Neutron Star and Sun-like Star in Orbit Around Each Other caltech 2024-07-16 | This animation depicts a binary star system in which a massive compact neutron star is orbiting a larger Sun-like star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense remnants left behind after a massive star explodes as a supernova. They pack about 40 percent more mass than our Sun into an object only about 12 miles in diameter. The intense gravity of this high-density object produces significant warping effects that distort the view of the sky around it, not unlike what occurs around more compact black holes. As the neutron star passes by in the foreground, our view of the vastly larger and more distant Sun-like star is warped. Several systems like this one, in which the neutron stars are widely separated from their solar-type companions, have been found using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission. The orbital periods of these systems range between six months and three years. In this animation, we are positioned near the path of the compact neutron star as it whizzes past its companion in the distance.Image credit: Caltech/R.

Sun-like Stars Orbiting Hidden Companions caltech 2024-07-16 | Astronomers have discovered 21 stars like our Sun in orbit around neutron stars—heavy, compact remains of massive stars that previously exploded. The hidden neutron stars were discovered through their gravitational effects alone. Though the neutron stars are more massive than Sun-like stars, the two objects mutually orbit one another around a common center of mass. As the neutron stars orbit around, they tug on the Sun-like stars, causing them to wobble. The European Space Agency's Gaia mission detected this wobble by observing the orbits of the Sun-like stars (yellow dots) over a period of three years. The Sun-like stars are green in this animation, and the neutron stars (and their orbits) are purple.Image credit: Caltech/Kareem El-Badrymore info: https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/sun-like-stars-found-orbiting-hidden-companions
Hopkins Group: Simulation Zooms Into Black Hole caltech 2024-07-02 | This simulation flies into a tangle of merging galaxies, ultimately zooming into an active supermassive black hole, or quasar, surrounded by a swirling disk of material called an accretion disk. A filamentary stream of gas has been wound up into the disk, funneling gas in at a rate sufficient to fuel the brightest known quasars in the universe. Near the end of the simulation, magnetic fields rip away the angular momentum from the rotating disk, which allows material to spiral in further and further until it reaches the event horizon of the black hole, where it can't escape. In this simulation, which represents one moment in time, the scale zooms in by a factor of a billion. The colors show the density of the gas, with brighter colors representing higher densities.credit: Caltech / Phil Hopkins Group
Cosmic Simulation Reveals How Black Holes Grow and Evolve caltech 2024-07-02 | A team of astrophysicists led by Caltech’s Phil Hopkins has managed for the first time to simulate the journey of primordial gas dating from the early universe to the stage at which it becomes swept up in a disk of material fueling a single supermassive black hole. The new computer simulation upends ideas about such disks that astronomers have held since the 1970s and paves the way for new discoveries about how black holes and galaxies grow and evolve.
