In the precious ones tools available to us to read under a new light Universe three of its leading scientists were mentioned space researchwho participate in Cospar world astronomy conference which this year is hosted in Athens.
Although the space telescope James Webb currently has its honor with the images of the outer universe captured in its lens, equally important is the role of more unseen research pioneers, such as the AMS spectrometer in International Space Station.
As Andrey Kunin, principal investigator of the AMS Experiment program at MIT, noted at the press conference, “AMS has collected 200 billion cosmic rays over the past ten years, leading to new insights into the Universe, while AMS studies of heavier antimatter particles are opening up a new unexplored field”. He explained that “the precise and systematic study of cosmic nuclei (up to energies of several trillion electron volts) shows that a new, comprehensive theory is required for the understanding of matter in the Universe”.
THE AMS, as reported by APE-MPE, is a particle physics detector adapted to operate on the International Space Station. And it is the ideal magnetic spectrograph for studying the properties of primordial antimatter and matter that, as Andrei Kunin said, have equal mass but opposite charge, while being absorbed by Earth’s atmosphere. “Antimatter particles (positrons and antiprotons) provide strong evidence that they come from the collisions of dark matter particles or from new astrophysical objects” he further underlined.
The black holes and their search with James Webb was the subject popularized by Nobel Prize-winning scientist John Mather. “NASA, ESA and CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope launched on December 25, 2021 on an Ariane 5 rocket and began scientific operations, with a potential lifetime of 20 years. The telescope and its science instruments are better than predicted, and 5 early observations have already been made public: the Tropids Nebula (astrogenesis region), the exoplanet WASP-96 b, the Southern Ring Nebula (planetary nebula), Stephan’s Quintet (interacting galaxies, including an active galactic nucleus), and SMACS 0723 (galaxy cluster with gravitational lensing and spectra of early galaxies)’.
On the microsatellite MICROSCOPE finally mentioned the head of the program Manuel Rodríguez. This microsatellite flew from 2016 to 2018, while the processing of its data related to the so-called Equivalence Principle was completed last year and will be presented next September.
The COSPAR ’22 conference, which brought together the cream of space research in our country, will conclude its work next Sunday, July 24.
