CRRO Jay Norris, Jolie Turek and Daryl Macomb view them using the new telescope Challis public and remotely operate, last week a laptop computer. Todd Adams photo Add five years of design and construction, Challis rapid reaction Observatory (CRRO) and remotely via a Telescope was introduced to the public last Friday, a unique international network of community built by only the telescope."This is the only of its kind — it is built and financed by the community," said Jolie Turek, Executive Director, Custer Economic Development Association (CEDA), arising out of or in connection with the organisation, created in conjunction with the Boise State University Physics Department and with other bodies is a Research project.
Indicates the action Challis Middle School Auditorium on the remote control through the telescope was Jay Norris and Daryl Macomb. you are using a portable computer, rolled off the roof on the Centre's Macomb, activated the telescope and found around the sky to take pictures of various Astronomical objects, including the galaxies; exploding stars, and the gas clouds around kaasusumuineen;and star clusters.
Challis, two showed images of the Orion telescope, Great sumukierteen Galaxy 27 million light years away; Jupiter and its four Galilean moons; globular star cluster system Hercules 25 000 light years away;and the Quasar or super massive black hole.
Astronomical images as well as moving the telescope Telescope camera video and its software, data were projected onto the screen Norris explains what is going on.
"This is the only facility of its kind," Norris agreed, in view of the fact that the project is financed by the community in the form of grants, and graduated from the donations and volunteers to work with.
"It is surreal to me that it has been completed, it is fairly diluted thing. we did that," Norris said.
"I can't believe We are doing all this in front of the Auditorium," Norris said as the Macomb operate the telescope.As rolled off the roof, the Centre ", that is to say, when we are nervous," she said. "Things can go wrong in the context of the observers, in particular, high elevation in. "
Challis Observatory shall consist of the weather station, make sure that the conditions are right for viewing, the Centre's roof, for example, does not open when it is too windy, Norris said.
It was a means of automation, can act as the telescope than at home instead of staying up all night in the cold as well as in the past, the Observatory Dome comfort.
"Jolie, press the button should we have," said coach the telescope by Macomb proper coordinates it for the first night will be charged of the photo."I do not want to do it," Turek said. "You can disconnect from it. "He relented, however, went to the Macomb and Push button.
"Done."Macomb said about an hour later, he shut down the telescope of the night, and closed the Centre's roof.With the fact that the gigs broke into applause.
Mission
Challis rapid reaction Observatory houses a single Telescope quickly satellite, which was launched by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in November 2004, the international network of telescopes are bound to Other telescopes are located elsewhere. [2] [3] in the United States, Australia and Africa.
SWIFT's main mission is to define the dynamic gamma-ray bursts Astronomical events, such as supernovae explosions epäilyaikana stars and black holes, quasars and far from the origin of galaxies in the middle.
Quickly to the satellite and its country telescopes are to be taken into consideration when classifying a gamma-ray bursts and a new type of searching for and how to blast Wave is evolving and interact with the surrounding space, such as the water passing through the boat bow Wave.SWIFT uses for the examination of the early universe bursts and visit the first sensitive hard x-ray study on the sky.
When Swift recognizes the gamma ray burst, e-mail messages will be sent to the operators in the country for telescopes, so they quickly locates bursts and consider their afterglow. can be activated remotely to take a photo with 20-40 seconds, and it is "amazing", Macomb said.
Basically, Challis telescope is studying "things that go bump in the night," Norris told the audience. [1] [2] Since millions of years light objects thousands of light takes off to travel to the country so many years, was looking back in time.
The Centre's proposal, Norris wrote years ago a small telescopes have the opportunity to participate in world-class science, because even if gamma ray bursts can be detected only from 1 to 100 seconds, their afterglows is foreseen at the time of the day of the month. Small telescopes are to be the only way to determine the distance of the bursts sources. Study bursts can mean people could see "one of the most exotic of the process in the universe – the black hole is created the moment."
Macomb programmed the telescope automatic operation, even if the Norris analyzes images is also constantly had "beg, the King of the currency" or search for the numeric position of the Fund for the period 2007-2013 a specific programme for research, education, and action grants, Norris said.
The Centre's Web site, including, but not limited to plans, had said, but now the Challis-star buffs can keep track of events on the Internet at: challisobservatory.blogspot.com.
Impact on the
Its primary purpose is to quickly carry out a research project, said Turek Challis Centre is also a teaching role in BSU and other services in the territory of the students of the College, as well as the local school children and the recently formed Astronomy Club Challis high school.
Is the Centre to host other open houses, stargazing sessions and lectures, operating remotely, maybe in the middle of the proposed community-events-easy planning-Turek Challis said the telescope plans.
Students, researchers and other visitors will undoubtedly contribute to the local economy.
Turek's PowerPoint presentation in the list of 30 local and State partners and donors, as well as six scientific collaborators, including BSU. He said, his predecessor, Gynii Gilliam, deserves special recognition of how the project country.
The Challis Big Hill-the Centre's Web site, the region was selected because it is a dark sky, a central Idaho Turek said. "black hole" lists the nightime satellite photos, because it is far away from city lights astronomy disturb.
