NASA市民科学者が1時間に100万マイル移動するオブジェクトを発見

NASAのBackyard Worldsプロジェクトで、ミルキーウェイから脱出する高速物体が発見されました。CWISE J1249は100万マイル/hで移動し、古い星から来た可能性があります。市民科学者の協力で発見され、

研究が進められています。 #NASA #BackyardWorlds #高速物体

I had said a few months ago about being on a paper with a giant author list (at least for me).

Anyway, that paper is now on the arXiv, and it's a fun one: https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.03639

"The Initial Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of ∼3,600 Stars and Brown Dwarfs"

We (and I use the part of we that includes "me" *very* loosely) took a census of the neighborhood, and the result is a stellar mass function down to 5 Jupiter masses. #Astrodon #Astrophysics #Astronomy #BackyardWorlds

More than 175,000 participants from 167+ countries (part of the #BackyardWorlds #CitizenScience team) recently reached an incredible milestone: https://science.nasa.gov/get-involved/citizen-science/backyard-worlds-volunteers-complete-ten-million-classifications-in-an-epic-search-for-new-objects-among-the-nearest-stars/ - ten million classifications in the search for objects abound nearby stars in old images from the #WISE satellite.
