The vast majority of these objects are galaxies with giant black holes or fast-growing new stars. Other findings include clusters of distant galaxies and bright stars that vary in brightness within the Milky Way, according to a press release from the University of Durham in England.
This data set is the second to be published in the LOFAR study, and covers an area 13 times larger than the first version, which recorded radio signals from about 300,000 galaxies and other space objects.
Radio astronomy is another way of revealing the secrets of the universe, especially objects that cannot be observed with the help of visible light waves such as black holes.
“Every time we create a map, our screens are filled with new discoveries and objects that human eyes have never seen before. Exploring the unknown phenomena that shine in the radio energy universe is an incredible experience and our team is happy to be able to publish these maps. Timothy Shimwell, an astronomer, is an associate researcher at Astron and the University of Leiden.
This data release is only 27 percent of the entire study, Shimwell said.
“We hope that this will lead to many other scientific discoveries in the future, including how the largest structures in the universe grow, how black holes form and evolve, and the physics that govern the formation of stars in distant galaxies. The most beautiful stages in the life of the stars in our galaxy.”“, He said.
To map space objects, scientists conducted 3,500 hours of observation using algorithms on high-performance computers across Europe. This data processing performance requires the equivalent of about 20,000 laptops computing power.
