Desde Chile descubren una nueva forma de aniquilar una estrella
Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA)

Luego de estudiar un poderoso estallido de rayos gamma (GRB por sus siglas en ingl茅s) con el telescopio de Gemini Sur, que opera NOIRLab de NSF y AURA en la Regi贸n de Coquimbo, en Chile, un equipo de astr贸nomos investigan si est谩n ante la presencia de una forma nunca antes vista de destrucci贸n estelar. A diferencia de la mayor铆a de los GRBs, que son provocados por la explosi贸n de estrellas masivas o por la fusi贸n de estrellas de neutrones, los investigadores concluyen que este particular GRB que observaron desde Chile, fue el resultado de una literal colisi贸n de estrellas o de remanentes estelares en el entorno compacto que rodea a un agujero negro supermasivo en el nucleo de una galaxia muy antigua.

Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA)

Vera C. Rubin Observatory has passed a major construction milestone: the telescope structure is ready to be outfitted with a full-size replica of its 8.4-meter mirror and stand-ins for its 3200-megapixel LSST Camera and other critical optical components. This major milestone means that Rubin Observatory is on track to help probe the mysteries of dark matter, study the fundamental nature of dark energy, document the dynamic Universe, and explore other grand challenges of cosmology.

Desde Chile descifran inesperados secretos en las explosiones de Kilonova
Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA)

Mientras estudiaban los vestigios de una explosi贸n de rayos gamma (GRB por sus siglas en ingl茅s) que fue detectada en 2021, dos equipos de astr贸nomos hallaron se帽ales sorprendentes de una fusi贸n de estrellas de neutr贸n, en vez de la esperada huella de una supernova. Las observaciones realizadas desde telescopios terrestres y espaciales, que incluyeron al telescopio de Gemini Sur en Chile y Gemini Norte en Hawai鈥榠, desaf铆an la teor铆a prevaleciente que predice que las GRB de este tipo provienen exclusivamente de una supernova, es decir de la explosi贸n final que acaba con la vida de las estrellas masivas.

Kilonova Discovery Challenges our Understanding of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA)

While studying the aftermath of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB), two independent teams of astronomers using a host of telescopes in space and on Earth, including the Gemini North telescope on Hawai鈥榠 and the Gemini South telescope in Chile, have uncovered the unexpected hallmarks of a kilonova, the colossal explosion triggered by colliding neutron stars. This discovery challenges the prevailing theory that long GRBs exclusively come from supernovae, the end-of-life explosions of massive stars.

Utilizando la C谩mara de Energ铆a Oscura en el Observatorio de Cerro Tololo, en Chile, los astr贸nomos detectaron tres asteroides cercanos a la Tierra (NEA por sus siglas en ingl茅s) que se ocultaban en el resplandor del Sol. Se trata de una elusiva poblaci贸n de objetos que acechan desde el interior de las 贸rbitas de la Tierra y Venus. Uno de estos asteroides es el objeto m谩s grande, y potencialmente peligroso para la Tierra, descubierto en los 煤ltimos 8 a帽os.

Twilight observations with the US Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, a Program of NSF's NOIRLab, have enabled astronomers to spot three near-Earth asteroids (NEA) hiding in the glare of the Sun. These NEAs are part of an elusive population that lurks inside the orbits of Earth and Venus. One of the asteroids is the largest object that is potentially hazardous to Earth to be discovered in the last eight years.

Record-Breaking Gamma-Ray Burst Possibly Most Powerful Explosion Ever Recorded
Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA)

In the early-morning hours of today, 14 October 2022, astronomers using the Gemini South telescope in Chile operated by NSF鈥檚 NOIRLab observed the unprecedented aftermath of one of the most powerful explosions ever recorded, Gamma-Ray Burst GRB221009A. This record-shattering event, which was first detected on 9 October 2022 by orbiting X-ray and gamma-ray telescopes, occurred 2.4 billion light-years from Earth and was likely triggered by a supernova explosion giving birth to a black hole.

Are We Missing Other Earths?
Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA)

Some exoplanet searches could be missing nearly half of the Earth-sized planets around other stars. New findings from a team using the international Gemini Observatory and the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory suggest that Earth-sized worlds could be lurking undiscovered in binary star systems, hidden in the glare of their parent stars. As roughly half of all stars are in binary systems, this means that astronomers could be missing many Earth-sized worlds.
