Hubble solves mystery on source of supernova in nearby galaxyPublic release date: 11-Jan-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have solved a longstanding mystery on the type of star, or so-called progenitor, which caused a supernova seen in a nearby galaxy. The finding yields new observational data for pinpointing one of several scenarios that trigger such outbursts.
Based on previous observations from ground-based telescopes, astronomers knew the supernova class, called a Type Ia, created a remnant named SNR 0509-67.5, which lies 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy.
Theoretically, this kind of supernova explosion is caused by a star spilling material onto a white dwarf companion, the compact remnant of a normal star, until it sets off one of the most powerful explosions in the universe.
Astronomers failed to find any remnant of the companion star, however, and concluded that the common scenario did not apply in this case, although it is still a viable theory for other Type Ia supernovae.
"We know Hubble has the sensitivity necessary to detect the faintest white dwarf remnants that could have caused such explosions," said lead investigator Bradley Schaefer of Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge. "The logic here is the same as the famous quote from Sherlock Holmes: 'when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'"
The cause of SNR 0509-67.5 can be explained best by two tightly orbiting white dwarf stars spiraling closer and closer until they collided and exploded.
For four decades, the search for Type Ia supernovae progenitors has been a key question in astrophysics. The problem has taken on special importance during the last decade with Type Ia supernovae being the premier tools for measuring the accelerating universe.
Type Ia supernovae release tremendous energy, in which the light produced is often brighter than an entire galaxy of stars. The problem has been to identify the type of star system that pushes the white dwarf's mass over the edge and triggers this type of explosion. Many possibilities have been suggested, but most require that a companion star near the exploding white dwarf be left behind after the explosion.
Therefore, a possible way to distinguish between the various progenitor models has been to look deep in the center of an old supernova remnant to search for the ex-companion star.
In 2010, Schaefer and Ashley Pagnotta of LSU were preparing a proposal to look for any faint ex-companion stars in the center of four supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud when they discovered the Hubble Space Telescope already had taken the desired image of one of their target remnants, SNR 0509-67.5, for the Hubble Heritage program, which collects images of especially photogenic astronomical targets.
In analyzing the central region, they found it to be completely empty of stars down to the limit of the faintest objects Hubble can detect in the photos. Schaefer suggests the best explanation left is the so-called "double degenerate model" in which two white dwarfs collide.
The results are being reported today at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Austin, Texas. A paper on the results will be published in the Jan. 12 issue of the journal Nature.
There are no recorded observations of the star exploding. However, researchers at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md. have identified light from the supernova that was reflected off of interstellar dust, delaying its arrival at Earth by 400 years. This delay, called a light echo of the supernova explosion also allowed the astronomers to measure the spectral signature of the light from the explosion. By virtue of the color signature, astronomers were able to deduce it was a Type Ia supernova.
Because the remnant appears as a nice symmetric shell or bubble, the geometric center can be determined accurately. These properties make SNR 0509-67.5 an ideal target to search for ex-companions. The young age also means that any surviving stars have not moved far from the site of the explosion.
The team plans to look at other supernova remnants in the Large Magellenic Cloud to further test their observations.

More than 50 years after Fidel Castro's revolution, Cuba remains politically and socially isolated, its people largely blocked from external communications by an authoritarian regime.
Enter Romy Portuondo Remior ? born in Havana, raised in Miami since she was 5, and now a rising star in the Cuban-American community ? who wants to foment an "Evolution," one tweet and YouTube video at a time. Ms. Portuondo Remior, 22, a board member of the Cuban American National Council, believes passionately in the potential for social media to inform and empower Cuba's people, to help effect change.
Challenges loom, of course. Access to the Web in Cuba is generally slow, expensive, and heavily restricted by the government. With only about 14 percent of the population online ? and many of the connections sporadic ? Cuba has the lowest rate of Internet access in Latin America.
Yet the tech-savvy are increasingly finding ways to connect with the outside world, and Portuondo Remior, a management team member at Roots of Hope, a nonprofit that empowers Cuban youth, believes new, easy-to-access social networking methods can expose Cuban Web users to more news, views, and information.
"When one of Cuba's dissidents sends out a tweet or blog, we know about it. They have a spotlight on them. But what about the everyday people in Cuba? We need to motivate them to do more than just socialize online. We need to engage them ? they need to hear and be heard," says Portuondo Remior.
"Social media is going to have a role in creating a new civic culture, a new form of expression for the Cuban people who for so long have lived literally and figuratively on an island. Social media is a tool to give them a fresh perspective on a world they have limited access to."
People have been searching for the legendary Bigfoot for decades, and grainy images such as this one, taken from a film shot in Bellingham, Wash., in 1977, provide evidence to believers and skeptics alike. AP FILE PHOTO
LEOMINSTER -- After a close encounter on a sultry summer day in June 2010, Bill and Julie Penning are believers in one of the most mythical creatures of North America.
"I believe I found footprints of Bigfoot," Bill Penning said Friday.
Julie Penning is willing to debunk the Bigfoot legend, but she's found no credible evidence to disprove what she and her husband found in the Leominster State Forest.
"If somebody can scientifically tell me what it is, I'll listen," Julie Penning said.
The rest of the country will get to hear their tale on Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot" television show tonight at 10.
"I'm a little nervous about it," Julie Penning said. "I haven't told anyone at work."
With the help
SENTINEL & ENTERPRISE / CONNOR GLEASON Bill and Julie Penning discuss finding what they believe to be a footprint of Bigfoot in the Leominster State Forrest in 2010.
of their friend Ronny Le Blanc, they took a plaster casting of what they believe is a Bigfoot's footprint.
Julie Penning is a special education teacher at the Florence Sawyer School in Bolton, and Bill Penning is a facilities manager for Progress Software in Bedford.
In a city where the area around Jungle Road and Route 117 was once known as Monsterland and parents would scare their misbehaving children with stories of creatures walking on their hind legs in the woods, the thought of a Bigfoot roaming around at least fits, the couple said.
They each had the day off on June 27, 2010, and decided to a hike through the Leominster State Forest even though temperatures were soaring into the upper 90s because they figured it would
be cooler than lying on the beach.
"We're not out there looking for anything weird, we're just hiking," Bill Penning said.
He is an outdoorsman who hunts and rides four-wheelers but the couple took a wrong path in the woods as they walked toward Notown Reservoir.
Suddenly there was a loud crashing of something going through the nearby underbrush.
"I assumed we spooked a deer and it would jump out in front of us," Bill Penning said.
But nothing came out on the trail

and the couple kept going until reaching the power lines where they realized the underbrush blocked their way to the reservoir.
They sat down for lunch before doubling back.
When they reached the point at which they heard the noise earlier, there were large tracks of bare feet coming in and out of the brush line along with deer prints.
Neither set of prints had been there an hour earlier when they passed.
"They were so deep and so far apart it was shocking," Bill Penning said of the footprints. "Who would be up there randomly on a Tuesday afternoon running barefoot?"
It appeared whatever made the prints weighed several hundred pounds with strides were about 6 1/2 feet long.
"Right where the footprints ended, the deer prints ended so we figured he scooped it up," Bill Penning said.
The couple got so unnerved by the oddity of the sighting that Bill Penning picked up a rock for protection.
As they studied the tracks, the couple had the sense of being watched and left.
Bill Penning's brother Kevin introduced them to Bigfoot believer Ronny Le Blanc about 10 days later.
Le Blanc has been interested in Bigfoot since he was a child reading about unexplained mysteries at Leominster Public Library.
"I've always been fascinated (but) never in my wildest dreams, with Monsterland in my backyard, did I imagine," he said.
The three of them decided to go back to the area of the sighting to take pictures and get a plaster molding.
"Sure enough, the footprints are still there," Bill Penning said.
Within minutes young people on four-wheelers came by and would have torn up the prints if the small expedition were not there to protect them.
They mixed the plaster too thin so rather than waiting for it to set, they dug up the ground around the print and took the dirt and drying plaster home.
The print is not only about 11 inches long but is nearly six inches wide.
"And this thing is a good 2 1/2 inches deep," Le Blanc said.
Rather than being a static footprint, the print indicates whoever or whatever made it was pushing off as if in motion, Bill Penning said.
The print would indicate the Bigfoot is a female or adolescent. ?
Bigfoot researchers believe female prints are 10-14 inches and grown males are 17-19 inches, Bill Penning said.
He and Le Blanc took the casting to a town hall meeting of Bigfoot enthusiasts in Covington, R.I. that was arranged by Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization which is featured on the Animal Planet television show.
"I was the only one there with a footprint," Bill Penning said.
Producer Aaron Steele was excited by the cast of the footprint and decided to bring the cast and crew to Leominster to film a re-enactment Sept. 15.
About 20 people spent a rainy day filming the segment with the Pennings and Le Blanc.
"This has been quite an adventure for us," Bill Penning said.
Neither Steele nor the show's lead investigator Matt Moneymaker could be reached for comment.
MIDLAND, Texas (AP) ? A North Carolina soldier who was arrested after a powerful, military-grade explosive was found in his carry-on luggage at a Texas airport could learn Friday whether he'll be released from federal custody.
Trey Scott Atwater is charged with trying to bring explosives onto an airplane, which carries a maximum 10-year federal prison sentence. Authorities said security officers at Midland International Airport found C4 explosives in his carry-on luggage Saturday. C4 is used in Iraq and Afghanistan to blow the hinges off doors or destroy unexploded ordinance.
According to court documents, Atwater told the FBI that he's a demolitions expert and had returned from his third tour in Afghanistan in April. He said his Army special forces team always carried C4, but he didn't know it was in his bag.
Atwater, 30, is scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate Friday afternoon in Midland during a detention hearing. Atwater grew up in Midland and was at the airport with his family to return home to Hope Mills, N.C. He is stationed at nearby Fort Bragg.
Atwater was stopped when a Transportation Security Administration agent spotted a suspicious item in his carry-on during passenger screening. A police bomb squad identified it as C4.
Court documents show that Atwater told FBI agents his special forces team always had at least two blocks of C4, but he didn't know any explosives were in his bag when he returned to Fort Bragg after his most recent deployment.
The bag had been in his garage since then, Atwater said, and he saw no explosives in the main compartment of the bag when he packed for his trip to Texas. He did not say where he got the C4, although his comments in court documents indicate he could have brought it from Afghanistan.
Atwater also was detained at the airport in Fayetteville, N.C., the city adjacent to the sprawling Army post, on Dec. 24 when security agents found a military smoke grenade in his carry-on bag. After the smoke grenade was confiscated, Atwater was "admonished" and allowed to fly to Texas, according to court documents.
Typically, bags are thoroughly searched and placed on X-ray machines for a second time after a suspicious item is found, although court documents do not say whether that was done in Atwater's case.
C4 looks like a block of clay and requires a blasting cap or detonator to explode. Combat troops have ready access to the explosive, which can also be used as fuel for heating water or rations.
The U.S. military forbids troops from taking C4 out of combat zones, but the screening process for troops heading home is not as stringent as for people flying on commercial airlines.
Apple Inc, the company behind the iPhone and iPad always bring awesome hardware updates to the new gadgets. Rumors says that the new iPad may hit the market in late feb or early march of 2012 and the iPhone in fall 2012.The upcoming iPad and iPhone may have Quad-Core A6 processor. In iOS 5.1 beta, developers found the?reference?code for Quad-core A6 processor.
Sources with inner knowledge of the internal workings of iOS have explained that the core count begins at ?0?, effectively meaning that the A4 Processor?in the iPhone 4 which was single core chipset would be displayed as?/cores/core.0??whereas the current A5 processor would have the option of??/cores/core.1??because of its dual-core capability.
The references to quad-core iPhone and iPad chips come by way of a hidden panel that describes cores that are supported by iOS device hardware. The updated core management software includes an option of ?/cores/core.3,? and this represents Quad-Core Processor.
Its still possible that Apple may bring some huge upgrade to their future iPad and iPhone.

EVERETT, Wash. ? Boeing Co. says it will move about 200 jobs to its Everett, Wash. factory as part of the decision to shut down facilities in Wichita, Kan., to deal with cuts in defense spending.
The jobs involve modifications to turn the 767 into an air refueling tanker. Boeing won a $35 billion Air Force contract for 179 of the tankers.
But as part of the moves announced Wednesday, Boeing will send about 100 support jobs, primarily engineering, from Washington to Oklahoma City.
Boeing has more than 80,000 workers in Washington, mostly at the 737 factory in Renton and the wide-body plant in Everett where the 747, 767, 777 and 787 are assembled.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina ? Argentina's president underwent surgery Wednesday to remove her cancerous thyroid gland.
Cristina Fernandez, 58, was found to have papillary thyroid carcinoma shortly after beginning her second four-year term as Argentina's leader, doctors said. Preoperative tests suggested it had not spread beyond her thyroid, so the condition should be curable without chemotherapy, they added.
Vice President Amado Boudou was put in charge shortly before the operation, and will remain as the country's constitutional leader for 20 more days while Fernandez takes medical leave, the presidency said.
Early Wednesday, Fernandez flew by helicopter from the presidential residence in Olivos to the Hospital Austral in suburban Pilar, north of the capital. She went under general anesthesia several hours later for the operation led by Dr. Pedro Saco, a veteran Argentine oncologist who specializes in cancers of the head and neck.
Experts say thyroid removals are about as routine as cancer surgeries can be, although the process is not without risk: surgeons must take care not to damage a nearby nerve that guides the vocal cords, or to remove the adjacent parathyroids, which regulate the body's calcium supply.
Patients should generally take care to relax their necks after surgery. Temporary hoarseness is common, and in rare cases, permanent voice changes can result. Patients also must swallow radioactive iodide for several days to destroy any cancerous remnants and provide for clearer images to detect any additional cancer, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
After surgery, patients take medicine ? levothyroxine sodium ? for the rest of their lives to replace a hormone that the thyroid glands produce. Blood tests every six to 12 months to measure thyroid levels also are recommended.
Fernandez is only the latest sitting South American leader to be diagnosed with cancer. Presidents Fernando Lugo of Paraguay, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Dilma Rousseff of Brazil all have undergone treatments recently.
Supporters waited anxiously outside the hospital for word on the surgery's results, waving flags, carrying handmade signs that said "Be Strong Cristina" and building small shrines to the populist leader, who won reelection with a 54 percent landslide in October. Many carried pictures showing Fernandez and her late husband, former President Nestor Kirchner, who died of a heart attack in 2010.
Boudou, her former economy minister, is expected to work closely with Fernandez's other Cabinet members while she recuperates at her home in Calafate, in far-southern Argentina, and make no major policy changes. Argentina all but shuts down anyway for the summer holidays in January and February, so her diagnosis and surgery came at a relatively calm time.

BBC's 'Sherlock' actor also has upcoming roles in 'The Hobbit.' By Kevin P. Sullivan, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
Benedict Cumberbatch Photo: Getty Images
Damon Lindelof, "Lost" co-creator and one of the screenwriters behind J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek 2,"tweeted on Monday, "Something really, REALLY cool just happened. #BoldlyGo." All signs pointed to a looming "Trek" announcement, but we didn't find out what was setting Lindelof's phasers to stun until two days later.
There is still no word on what character Cumberbatch will play. When Del Toro led as the front-runner, Internet rumors suggested Khan, the legendary villain originally played by Ricardo Montalbán in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," would reappear in Abrams' alternate "Trek" universe.
In the past year, Cumberbatch has seen his stateside profile rise significantly. Known primarily in England for his widely beloved role as the modern-day reimagining of Sherlock Holmes in the BBC's "Sherlock," the actor starred alongside Gary Oldman in "Tinker Tailor" and played a minor role in Steven Spielberg's "War Horse." Next year, he'll take on two key roles in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit," doing the voice and motion capture for Smaug and presumably both for the Necromancer.
Deadline's report on the Cumberbatch casting mentioned that Abrams plans to shoot the film in 3-D, which contradicts what the director told MTV News' Josh Horowitz on the red carpet for "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol." "We're shooting on film, 2-D, and then we'll do a good high-end conversion like the 'Harry Potter' movie and all that," Abrams said. "Luckily, with our release date now, we have the months needed to do it right, because if you rush it, it never looks good."

As results of the Iowa caucuses began to roll in Tuesday night, Rep. Ron Paul's (R-Texas) campaign mocked Republican rival Jon Huntsman over Twitter. "We found your one Iowa voter, he's in Linn precinct 5 you might want to call him and say thanks," Paul's campaign tweeted at Huntsman around 8:35 p.m. ET.
The tweet was deleted minutes later, but not before it had been picked up and retweeted by numerous reporters and political junkies glued to Twitter for the latest Iowa results. Had it been the work of an overzealous intern, perhaps? Had Paul's Twitter account been hacked?
Then, at 9:05 p.m. ET, the Paul campaign's tweet reappeared.
According to CBS News's Lindsey Boerma, the tweet did come from the Paul campaign, but the IT department deleted it because they assumed the Twitter account must have been hacked.
"I think someone mistakenly deleted it. I think our IT guy didn't know it was being tweeted when he saw it, thought someone hacked it. But it wasn't a hacked tweet. It was our tweet. We said what we wanted to say," Paul spokesman Gary Howard told Politico.
According to Buzzfeed's Zeke Miller, Huntsman spokesman Tim Miller fired back at Paul.
"We find it odd that Congressman Paul would attack Gov. Huntsman in such a childish fashion," Miller said. "Just the latest in a long line of odd statements from him."
Huntsman skipped Iowa, choosing instead to focus on New Hampshire, whose primary will be held next week.
Paul has run competitively in Iowa, and said this week he expects some "dramatic, good news" Tuesday night.
As the results from the caucuses began to roll in, a senior Paul aide emailed HuffPost, predicting a strong finish: "We might ju[s]t take this -- looks good."
BOISE, Idaho (AP) ? Boise State University is requesting permission to boost head football coach Chris Petersen's salary to at least $2 million a year, starting next season.
The state Board of Education scheduled a special meeting Wednesday to consider the $375,000 increase to Petersen's base compensation.
Petersen now has a five-year contract that pays him $1.6 million in 2012, with a $100,000 raise each following year, through January 2016. According to the board, Boise State has negotiated a new five-year deal through January 2017.
The board is expected to vote Wednesday on whether to increase Petersen's base pay to $2 million during the 2012-2013 school year. Trustees are then expected to consider the full, five-year contract at a meeting in February.
Petersen is 73-6 in six seasons as head coach for the Broncos.
