Se trata de uno de los estallidos rápidos de radio (FRB) más potentes detectados hasta ahora, y se acaba de confirmar que también el más lejano. Con su ayuda, los científicos podrán detectar la 'materia perdida' del UniversoLa emisión duró apenas una milésima de segundo. Pero en ese breve lapso de tiempo, una súbita ráfaga de radio espacial (FRB por sus siglas en inglés) liberó una cantidad de energía equivalente a la que el Sol es capaz de producir en 30 años. El estallido, denominado FRB 20220610A, fue captado el pasado 10 de junio de 2022 por el radiotelescopio ASKAP, una red de 36 antenas de radio de 12 metros cada una situada en Australia, pero entonces no fue posible determinar su origen.Ahora, más de un año después, un equipo internacional de científicos ha sido capaz de localizar la fuente de aquel suceso. Usando el Very Large Telescope (VLT) del Observatorio Europeo Austral (ESO), en Chile, los investigadores pudieron comprobar que FRB 20220610A es la ráfaga rápida de radio más distante (y por lo tanto más antigua) jamás detectada. De hecho, inició su viaje hacia nosotros hace 8.000 millones de años, mucho antes de que el Sol y la Tierra empezaran siquiera a existir. A esa increíble distancia, que multiplica por dos la del hasta ahora FRB más lejano, la poderosa ráfaga es, también, una de las más energéticas observadas hasta ahora.El impactante descubrimiento, llevado a cabo por un equipo internacional de científicos dirigido por Stuart Ryder y Ryan Shannon, de las universidades australianas Macquaire y Swinburne, se acaba de publicar en la revista 'Science'.

Researchers using the 36-dish ASKAP telescope have made a discovery that challenges the hypothesis around how “fast radio bursts” form. Fast radio bursts are intense bursts of radio emission that can last just milliseconds and were only first detected in 2007. The exact processes that cause them have long been shrouded in mystery. Traditionally, they have only been recorded in colliding galaxies, but now, an Australian-based team have detected them in a much calmer galactic environment. In this episode, Curtin University's Marcin Glowacki, who led the study, and Dr Karen Lee-Waddell, explain the significance of the findings.

Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origins DINGO : HI stacking experiments with early science data by Jonghwan Rhee et al. on Tuesday 18 October We present early science results from Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origins (DINGO), an HI survey using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). Using ASKAP sub-arrays available during its commissioning phase, DINGO early science data were taken over $sim$ 60 deg$^{2}$ of the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) 23 h region with 35.5 hr integration time. We make direct detections of six known and one new sources at $z < 0.01$. Using HI spectral stacking, we investigate the HI gas content of galaxies at $0.04 < z< 0.09$ for different galaxy colours. The results show that galaxy morphology based on optical colour is strongly linked to HI gas properties. To examine environmental impacts on the HI gas content of galaxies, three sub-samples are made based on the GAMA group catalogue. The average HI mass of group central galaxies is larger than those of satellite and isolated galaxies, but with a lower HI gas fraction. We derive a variety of HI scaling relations for physical properties of our sample, including stellar mass, stellar mass surface density, $NUV-r$ colour, specific star formation rate, and halo mass. We find that the derived HI scaling relations are comparable to other published results, with consistent trends also observed to $sim$0.5 dex lower limits in stellar mass and stellar surface density. The cosmic HI densities derived from our data are consistent with other published values at similar redshifts. DINGO early science highlights the power of HI spectral stacking techniques with ASKAP. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.09697v1

New ASKAP Radio Supernova Remnants and Candidates in the Large Magellanic Cloud by Luke M. Bozzetto et al. on Monday 17 October We present a new Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) sample of 14 radio Supernova Remnant (SNR) candidates in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This new sample is a significant increase to the known number of older, larger and low surface brightness LMC SNRs. We employ a multi-frequency search for each object and found possible traces of optical and occasionally X-ray emission in several of these 14 SNR candidates. One of these 14 SNR candidates (MCSNR J0522-6543) has multi-frequency properties that strongly indicate a bona fide SNR. We also investigate a sample of 20 previously suggested LMC SNR candidates and confirm the SNR nature of MCSNR J0506-6815. We detect lower surface brightness SNR candidates which were likely formed by a combination of shock waves and strong stellar winds from massive progenitors (and possibly surrounding OB stars). Some of our new SNR candidates are also found in a lower density environments in which SNe type Ia explode inside a previously excavated interstellar medium (ISM). arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.05090v2

A pilot ASKAP survey for radio transients towards the Galactic Centre by Ziteng Wang et al. on Tuesday 06 September We present the results of a radio transient and polarisation survey towards the Galactic Centre, conducted as part of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder Variables and Slow Transients pilot survey. The survey region consisted of five fields covering $sim265,{rm deg}^2$ ($350^circlesssim llesssim10^circ$, $vert bvert lesssim 10^circ$). Each field was observed for 12,minutes, with between 7 and 9 repeats on cadences of between one day and four months. We detected eight highly variable sources and seven highly circularly-polarised sources (14 unique sources in total). Seven of these sources are known pulsars including the rotating radio transient PSR~J1739--2521 and the eclipsing pulsar PSR~J1723--2837. One of them is a low mass X-ray binary, 4U 1758--25. Three of them are coincident with optical or infrared sources and are likely to be stars. The remaining three may be related to the class of Galactic Centre Radio Transients (including a highly likely one, VAST~J173608.2--321634, that has been reported previously), although this class is not yet understood. In the coming years, we expect to detect $sim$40 bursts from this kind of source with the proposed four-year VAST survey if the distribution of the source is isotropic over the Galactic fields. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.02352v1

De udgør 83% af det synlige univers. Kortlægningen tog bare 300 timer, hvilket er langt hurtigere end man før har været i stand til. Men ASKAP er kun en test for det endnu større SKA radioteleskop, der skal stå færdigt en gang i 2027.

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) has mapped around three million distant galaxies with remarkable speed and detail. The telescope completed its first survey of the sky from the Outback in Western Australia in just 300 hours. According to Larry Marshall, head of Australian science agency Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the survey was a breakthrough in unveiling the mysteries of the universe. The survey's result is analogous to a Google Map of the universe, where millions of faraway galaxies are shown as star-like marks. The map includes about a million new galaxies that had never been seen before. Other telescopes would have taken about a decade to map out the same number of galaxies. In addition, compared to other surveys of the sky that require tens of thousands of images to process and combine, the ASKAP only needed about 900 images to create a new atlas of the sky. Because of its superior capabilities, astronomer David McConnell described the ASKAP as a game-changer in astronomy. The telescope is equipped with CSIRO-designed receivers that enable it to have a vast field of view and capture images of the sky in higher resolution compared to other telescopes. Its custom-built software is also capable of quickly processing the large amounts of data it generates. McConnell said the telescope is more sensitive, capturing a larger number of objects than ever before. Scientists at CSIRO expect to conduct more surveys of the sky and discover millions more galaxies in the future.  They are also hopeful that the telescope will allow them to observe changes in the sky and gain a better understanding of the life cycle of stars and the evolution of black holes and galaxies.

Dr Shivani Bhandari is a fabulous CSIRO research postdoctoral fellow who searches for and tracks down the location of fast radio bursts and other transients using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). She tells us a wonderful story of growing up in New Dehli, how she came to love the sky and her education and her Bachelor’s degree, her short stint in industry, then learning how to image the sky at radio wavelengths and her move to Australia for an ICRAR internship then achieving her PhD from Swinburne University in Melbourne supervised by Professors Tara Murphy and Matthew Bailes. Shivani invites us to put our propellor hats on as she reveals the novel real-time techniques she uses to detect and pinpoint the locations of extragalactic FRBs using the ASKAP array in an absolute radio quiet zone in outback Western Australia, then within minutes calling on instruments from all over the world to examine the same patch of sky at X-ray, gamma-ray photons and neutrinos on timescales ranging from an hour to a few months post-burst. We discuss the conclusions that have been drawn from studying the environments of both singular and repeating FRBs and how magnetars are becoming the prime suspects for the genesis of FRBs. Her descriptions of her visits to ASKAP and the rewards of her outreach work in the local schools in this remote region are simply wonderful. Enjoy

Astrophiz 93: Dr Jim Palfreyman: The Vela Glitch This episode features astrophysicist Dr Jim Palfreyman, who is a data analyst and casual researcher at the University of Tasmania. Today he tells us about his celebrated Nature paper revealing the way he analyses Vela’s glitches and how that came to tell us about the inner structures of neutron stars/pulsars. In the sky for observers and astrophotographers: Our regular feature ‘What’s Up Doc’ is with Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave. He previews the excellent planet viewing opportunities over the next two weeks under moonless skies, how to find Vesta at its brightest, the variable star Mira approaches maximum and he gives us an update on our first interstellar comet 2I/Borisov, reaching maximum brightness in early December In the News: We have news from the grave. Two years ago we all watched sadly and triumphantly as Cassini speared into a fiery death into Saturn, and you might want to listen again to Episode 43 where we were guests at the NASA tracking station at Tidbinbilla. The news is that Cassini legacy just keeps on sciencing on. There’s a new paper in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society by Khawaja et al about a data analysis that revealed that Saturn’s moon Enceladus is erupting a plume of gas and ice grains from its south pole. Now we already knew that an that these plumes originate in the moon’s subsurface global ocean, and plume material travels through cracks in the icy crust and is ejected into space. What’s new is that the Cassini spacecraft’s Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) detected volatile, gas phase, organic species in the plume and the Cosmic Dust Analyser (CDA) discovered high-mass, complex organic material in a small fraction of ice grains. Now these amines, carbonyls, and aromatic compounds could be ideal precursors for organic compounds in the warm depths of Enceladus’ ocean. So Life on Enceladus? We don’t know yet, but Cassini’s legacy doesn’t just live on, it’s shouting science very loudly. Stay tuned to Cassini’s echoes, there’s more to come! Next Episodes: Our very next episode is a fabulous interview with Amanda Wherrett who is a magnificent storyteller who paints a vivid picture of the Dark Sky Siding Spring Observatory, its amazing array of research telescopes and instruments, and the research happening there high on top of the Warrumbungle Ranges in remote New South Wales in Australia. And the episode after that we have Steve Olney, the amateur radio astronomer who captured the Vela Glitch that we talked about in this episode, as it happened. And he did it from his home-made radio telescope in his back yard. This is Citizen Science writ large and another great episode to look forward to. You can also look forward to our first ‘Are We Alone’ feature episode with Professor Geraint Lewis, over in the UK we will talk with Dr Belinda Nicholson and hopefully soon we will also have Suzy Jackson on a show for you, to talk about her work as an engineer on the MRO, ASKAP and the New Norcia tracking station.

Chenoa introduces us to Polarisation and Dark Magnetism and Astrochemistry and tell us how she uses the ASKAP array to detect and identify complex molecules in space. We also take a look at some of her earlier research where she provided proof that high-mass stars can form in isolation. Her most recent research as a CSIRO Fellow involves using the SKA precursor ASKAP telescopes to conduct observations of our Galaxy at 724 MHz to detect and characterise the polarimetric properties of carbyne in the Milky Way, and we also hear about her work with the GASKAP Spectral Line Survey Chenoa also does an array of fantastic outreach work in the community and schools and is the contact person for the CASS biennial Radio Astronomy School at the Australia Telescope Compact Array near Narrabri, NSW.
