Cosmology with the Planck satellite

ISAS 「宇宙科学談話会(第32回)」

講師:   Francois R. Bouchet (Institut D’Astrophysique de Paris)
http://www2.iap.fr/users/bouchet/bouchet.html

題目:   Cosmology with the Planck satellite

           Space Science Colloquium

Date:       16:30-17:30, 9th of December (Wed), 2015
Place:      Conference room (Main building 2F)
Speaker:     Francois R. Bouchet (Institut D’Astrophysique de Paris)
Title:       Cosmology with the Planck satellite

Abstract: Sketched out in 1992, selected by ESA in 1996, and launched in 
2009, the Planck satellite was shut off in 2013, after a measuring 
mission that exceeded all expectations. The Planck collaboration 
delivered a first set of cosmological data and results in March 21st 
2013, and the full set in February 2015. Part of the data delivery is a 
"definitive" map of the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background 
(CMB), its angular power spectrum together with their full statistical 
characterisation. The 2015 delivery also includes pioneering 
polarisation data. The temperature anisotropy map displays minuscule 
variations as a function of the observing direction, of rms ~100microK,  
of the fossil radiation around its mean temperature of 2.725K. Other 
maps reveal the CMB polarisation. The anisotropies are the imprint of   
the primordial fluctuations which initiated the growth of the large 
scale structures of the Universe, as transformed by their evolution, in 
particular during the first 370 000 years. The polarisation is another 
imprint whose theoretical implications can then be confronted with those 
derived from the temperature field. I will described the results we 
obtained  so far from temperature and polarisation data, both in terms 
of content of the universe and of characteristics of the primordial 
fluctuations.

XMM-Newton observations of the cluster of galaxies Abell 496

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001A%26A...379..107T

The results from XMM-Newton observations of the relaxed cluster of galaxies Abell 496 are presented. The spatially-resolved X-ray spectra taken by the European Photon Imaging Cameras show a temperature drop and a Fe abundance increase in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) towards the cD galaxy at the cluster center. The abundances of Si and S also show a central enhancement. High resolution soft X-ray spectra obtained with the Reflection Grating Spectrometers provides a strong constraint on the temperature structure in the central cool plasma. Furthermore, the O abundance at the cluster core is accurately measured based on the O Viii Lyalpha line detected with the RGS. Contrary to the Si, S, and Fe abundances, the O abundance is radially constant over the cluster.

copy fromhttp://www.goodreads.com/quotes/279030-the-scientist-does-not-study-nature-because-it-is-useful

“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so.
He studies it because he takes pleasure in it,
and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful.
If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing,
and life would not be worth living.
I am not speaking, of course, of the beauty which strikes the senses, of the beauty of qualities and appearances.
I am far from despising this, but it has nothing to do with science.
What I mean is that more intimate beauty which comes from the harmonious order of its parts, and which a pure intelligence can grasp.”

XMM AO15 proposal: X-ray large scale survey of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell2199

2015-10: Submitted.

We use XMM to map the cluster Abell 2199 intermediate region (<3 p="" virial="">radius) and search X-ray faint substructures in a wide spacial range from
a galaxy to a cluster and larger sizes. We observed this area with SUZAKU
and found a number of structures and a hint of asymmetric large scale emission.
These substructures along with unresolved background sources should be
resolved spatially and covered fully with XMM imaging. Errors of the EPIC
background will be reduced by our SUZAKU deep spectra. These X-ray maps will
be compared with our wide area weak-lensing data observed with SUBARU Hyper
suprime-Cam. The XMM observations provide uniquely a direct comparison among
structures of galaxies, ICM, and dark matter.

Advanced LIGO starts the 1st observation run

       
Space Science Seminar
Speaker:    Dr. Kiwamu Izumi(Postdoctoral fellow in physics, California
      Institute of Technology,LIGO Hanford Observatory)
Title:      Advanced LIGO starts the 1st observation run
.
Abstract: 
 Gravitational waves are ripple of space-time which nobody ever directly detected.Advanced LIGO is an ambitious U.S. project that improves the sensitivity of LIGO  (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) and will be capable of  detecting a gravitational wave event from a neutron star binary at a distance of 200 Mpc.  The detection rate of advanced LIGO, if running fully at the design sensitivity,  may reach as high as a few events per year and therefore it will consequently allow us for opening a new astronomy branch, gravitational-wave astronomy. After finishing  all the installation in this Spring, we have spent our time on tuning the interferometers in order to prepare for the planned first observation run. The observation run will start at 14th of this September for three months with a lowered laser power. In this talk, I will give an overview of advanced LIGO together with some highlights from
 the recent turning experiments, and finally talk about possible detection scenarios.

Galactic Rotation Curves with Dark Matter Self-Interactions

Dr. Ayuki Kamada (UC Riverside)
2015-08-31 
ISAS seminar

Abstract: 
It has been shown that the LambdaCDM model can successfully explain large-scale structure of the universe. But it is not clear that it can accommodate observations on (sub-)galactic scales. In fact, the LambdaCDM model predicts dark matter halos, which are systematically denser than inferred from astrophysical observations. One interesting alternative assumes that dark matter particles are strongly interacting with each other. Dark matter self-interactions will lead to heat transfer from the hotter outer region to the cold inner region, reducing the central dark matter density. In this talk, I will show that the observed rotation curves of spiral galaxies are consistent with predicted in the SIDM model. I will also emphasize the importance of the baryonic disk in determining the SIDM halo profile.

The Exploration of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt with the New Horizons Mission

Space Science Seminar

Speaker: Dr. Harold (Hal) Weaver
(The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory)

Title:
The Exploration of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt with the New Horizons Mission

Abstract:
The New Horizons (NH) mission was selected by NASA in November 2001 to
conduct the first in situ reconnaissance of Pluto and the Kuiper belt.
The NH spacecraft was launched on 2006 January 19, received a gravity 
assist from Jupiter during closest approach on 2007 February 28, and
flew 12,500 km above Pluto's surface on 2015 July 14. NH carries a
sophisticated suite of seven scientific instruments, altogether weighing
less than 30 kg and drawing less than 30 W of power, that includes
panchromatic and color imagers, ultraviolet and infrared spectral
imagers, a radio science package, plasma and charged particle sensors,
and a dust counting experiment. These instruments enabled the first
detailed exploration of a new class of solar system objects, the dwarf
planets, which have exotic volatiles on their surfaces, escaping
atmospheres, and satellite systems. NH also provided the first dust
density measurements beyond 18~AU and cratering records that document
both the ancient and present-day collisional environment in the outer
solar system down to sizes of tens of meters. NH obtained unprecedented
data on Pluto’s small satellites (Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra),
adding significantly to the scientific bounty returned from the NH
mission. The NH spacecraft will be targeted toward the flyby of a small
(~30 km) KBO in late-2015, enabling the study of an object in a
completely different dynamical class (cold classical) than Pluto, if
NASA approves an Extended Mission phase.

Luminous Supermassive Black Holes in the Brightest Cluster Galaxies

2015-08-06 ISAS astro seminar

Shutaro Ueda (ISAS/JAXA)

Title: 
Abstract:
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the central galaxies of clusters of galaxies (i.e.,
in the brightest cluster galaxies; BCGs) are the most massive BH in the Universe. Their
masses are estimated to be up to 1011 M. The SMBHs in nearby BCGs have a slight gas
accretion rate, which is typically less than 1 % of the Eddington limit. This indicates
that their mass growth may be performed at the early stage of evolution of their hosted
cluster. However its mechanism is still under debate. We therefore search for quasar
hosted BCGs (i.e., with high accretion rate) systematically by referring both the Planck
SZ cluster catalogue and the Swift hard X-ray catalogue. We find two sources out of 1203
clusters, which are the Phoenix cluster and H1821+643 cluster. We also investigate their
surrounding environment by using X-ray observations with Chandra and Suzaku. We find the
neutral iron K-shell line (Fe I) from both quasars and heavily absorption component from
the quasar of the Phoenix cluster. We discuss the environments of both quasars and the
origin of neutral medium surrounding quasars.

Speaker : Dr. Georgiana Ogrean ( CfA, Harvard)
http://hea-www.cfa.harvard.edu/~gogrean/

Title:
A Multiwavelength View of the HST Frontier Fields Clusters

Abstract:
Structure growth in the universe is one of the fundamental astrophysical problems. Merging galaxy clusters are the perfect laboratories to study the effects of structure growth on the thermal and the non-thermal particle populations in the ICM. I will present results from recent deep Chandra observations of the merging HST Frontier Clusters MACS J0416.1-2403 and MACS J0717.5+3745. I will talk about multiwavelength evidence for shocks and turbulence in the ICM, and discuss the constraints set on the merger geometries by optical, X-ray, and radio data.

Hot news from hot Venus


2015-05-20 ISAS seminar


Speaker:    Dr.Javier Peralta (ITYF, ISAS)
Title:      Hot news from hot Venus
Abstract:
After decades of space exploration, the misterious Earth's twin planet
jealously keeps most of its secrets hidden below its persistent cloud
coverage. Despite both planets were certainly born as nearly identical
bodies, Venus' cruel fate has condemned it to hell conditions for life
in its obscured surface, at the time that its atmosphere is a living
paradox where the planet rotates as slow as fast its atmosphere is. And
the history of its exploration clearly teaches a simple rule: Venus is
never as expected.

The Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps

Title:
The Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps

Speaker:
Dr. Ludovic Montier (CNRS, IRAP, Toulouse, France)
Abstract: We have combined the Planck-HFI and IRAS maps to perform an all-sky detection of the cold submillimetre Galactic sources over the whole sky, to build the The Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps, counting 13188 sources. I will describe how we proceed to build this catalogue using an original multi-frequency detection method, and how we characterized this population of objects using new distance estimates for one third of them. I will finally discuss the results provided by the Herschel Galactic Cold Core follow-up Key Programme of about 350 PGCC sources, yieldings important clues about the early phases of the star-formation.

Title:      Gravitational Field of Apple, Banana, and Crepe (ABC)
Abstract:
Funny objects are flying across the universe. Some planets recall
apples, some asteroids are banana-shaped, and Saturnian rings look
like crepe. If you (or a space mission) want to get close to, move
around, and/or land on them, you need to estimate, measure, and/or
analyze their gravitational fields. Nevertheless, the routine recipe
named the spherical harmonic expansion does not always work
due to the curse of Brillouin, who is famous for Brillouin scattering
and stands for B of the WKB approximation. This talk rephrases the
author's hard days to tackle this fundamental problem as a sort
of fairy tale. If you prefer a serious story and/or detailed information
including the PDF of academic articles and related Fortran programs,
