Imaging the Event Horizon of Black Holes (BLACKHOLECAM)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2020,

Gravity is successfully described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity (GR), governing the structure of our entire universe. Yet it remains the least understood of all forces in nature, resisting unification with quantum physics. One of the most fundamental predictions of GR are black holes (BHs). Their defining feature is the event horizon, the surface that light cannot escape and where tim ...

Gravitational Wave Astrophysics and Analysis with Pulsars (GW ASAP)

Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,

"Gravitational waves, ripples of space-time from accelerating masses, are the most elusive prediction of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity; So elusive in fact, that they have yet to be directly detected, although indirect evidence from binary pulsars (e.g. Taylor and Weisberg, 1982) supports their existence. This project implements new and novel techniques to search for direct evidence of gr ...

The Physics of the Most Luminous Galaxies (EUROCAL)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,

"Exceptionally luminous and active galaxies are cosmic laboratories in which familiar astrophysical processes such as star formation can be studied in extreme environments and under extreme conditions. At the same time, relativistic phenomena, such as mass accretion onto supermassive black holes and launching of relativistic jets, are encountered and can be studied on mass and spatial scales many ...

Beacons in the Dark (Beacon)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,

BEACON aims at performing an ambitious multi-disciplinary (optical, radio astronomy and theoretical physics) study to enable a fundamentally improved understanding of gravitation and space-time. For almost a century Einstein's general relativity has been the last word on gravity. However, superstring theory predicts new gravitational phenomena beyond relativity. In this proposal I will attempt to ...

A Global View of Star Formation in the Milky Way (GLOSTAR)

Date du début: 1 mai 2010, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,

Stars with more than about ten solar masses dominate galactic ecosystems and understanding the circumstances of their formation is one of the great challenges of modern astronomy. The spectacular HII regions they excite delineate the spiral arms of galaxies such as our own when seen face on making it clear that star formation and Galactic structure are intimately related. We propose to attain a Gl ...

GO-SKA: A proposal for coordinating & supporting policy development of the global organisation of the Square Kilometre Array (GO-SKA)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a revolutionary telescope programme that will address a broad range of key science areas in astronomy and fundamental physics. For the past 2.5 years, radio astronomers and funding agencies have joined forces to explore the legal, policy, and technical framework required for the SKA in a Preparatory Phase study called PrepSKA. The principal deliverable of the Pr ...

Large European Array for Pulsars (LEAP)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,

"In general relativity and other relativistic theories of gravity, space and time are combined to form ``space-time'' which is curved in the presence of mass. As masses move, for instance like the two components in a binary system, ripples in space-time are created that propagate through the Universe, very much like waves caused by a stone falling into a pond. These ``gravitational waves'' (GWs) a ...

Development of SQUID-based multiplexers for large Infrared-to-X-ray imaging detector arrays in astronomical research from space (: E-SQUID)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,

"Recently, research in astrophysics has yielded amazing new insight in the origin, evolution and structure of the Universe, and fundamental processes governing this highly dynamical system. Most of this progress was achieved thanks to the availability of extremely sensitive detectors. Common features for such detectors are extremely low noise and very small background, and the main solutions for a ...

A state-of-the-art pulsar survey to aid gravitational wave detection efforts through pulsar timing (Pulsar Survey)

Date du début: 1 mars 2010, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2012,

We propose to undertake the first state-of-the-art, all-sky survey for pulsars in the Northern sky since long. The main aim is to discover highly stable pulsars with milli-second periods, which can be used in a so-called "pulsar timing array" to make the first direct detection of gravitational waves. The recent technological developments at the Effelsberg telescope near Bonn (Germany) are expected ...
