This document summarizes a chapter about telescopes. It discusses how telescopes work by focusing light using lenses or mirrors. The two most important properties of telescopes are their light-collecting area and angular resolution. There are two basic designs: refracting telescopes use lenses while reflecting telescopes use mirrors. Astronomers use telescopes to take images, perform spectroscopy, and monitor light over time. Earth's atmosphere limits ground-based observations so many telescopes are placed in space. Telescopes observe different wavelengths of light by modifying their designs. Multiple telescopes can work together using interferometry to achieve very high angular resolution.

Light enables us to see objects and has properties of both waves and particles. It can be reflected, refracted, diffracted, and interfere. Mirrors reflect light via the laws of reflection, forming real or virtual images. Spherical mirrors like concave and convex mirrors form different types of images depending on the position of the object, which can be depicted using ray diagrams. Concave mirrors are used for magnifying images while convex mirrors are used in vehicles.

Why can we not see individual photons, but rather light appear to us.pdfarrowmobile
Why can we not see individual photons, but rather light appear to us to be continuous Why can
we not see individual photons, but rather light appears to us to be continuous? a)A light beam
contains a multitude of photons, each with a very small amount of energy. b)The wave part of a
photon superposes with the wave part of other photons in the beam, making the beam appear to
be continuous. c)The wave part of the photon extends over a spatial region that is larger than our
eyes can detect. d)The particle properties of photons do not interact with our eyes. e)Each photon
carries information from the whole electromagnetic spectrum; and our eyes camiot interpret this
information.

We present the second data release (DR2) of the Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large-Area CMZ Exploration (FIREPLACE) survey. This survey utilized the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera plus (HAWC+) instrument at 214 µm
(E-band) to observe dust polarization throughout the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky
Way. DR2 consists of observations that were obtained in 2022 covering the region of the CMZ extending roughly from the Brick to the Sgr C molecular clouds (corresponding to a roughly 1◦ × 0.75◦
region
of the sky). We combine DR2 with the first FIREPLACE data release covering the Sgr B2 region to
obtain full coverage of the CMZ (a 1.5◦ ×0.75◦
region of the sky). After applying total and polarized
intensity significance cuts on the full FIREPLACE data set we obtain ∼65,000 Nyquist-sampled polarization pseudovectors. The distribution of polarization pseudovectors confirms a bimodal distribution
in the CMZ magnetic field orientations, recovering field components that are oriented predominantly
parallel or perpendicular to the Galactic plane. These magnetic field orientations indicate possible
connections between the previously observed parallel and perpendicular distributions. We also inspect
the magnetic fields toward a set of prominent CMZ molecular clouds (the Brick, Three Little Pigs,
50 km s−1
, Circum-nuclear Disk, CO 0.02-0.02, 20 km s−1
, and Sgr C), revealing spatially varying
magnetic fields that generally trace the morphologies of the clouds. We find evidence that compression
from stellar winds and shear from tidal forces are prominent mechanisms influencing the structure of
the magnetic fields observed within the clouds.

A NICER VIEW OF THE NEAREST AND BRIGHTEST MILLISECOND PULSAR: PSR J0437−4715Sérgio Sacani
We report Bayesian inference of the mass, radius and hot X-ray emitting region properties - using data
from the Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) - for the brightest rotation-powered
millisecond X-ray pulsar PSR J0437−4715. Our modeling is conditional on informative tight priors
on mass, distance and binary inclination obtained from radio pulsar timing using the Parkes Pulsar
Timing Array (PPTA) (Reardon et al. 2024), and we use NICER background models to constrain
the non-source background, cross-checking with data from XMM-Newton. We assume two distinct
hot emitting regions, and various parameterized hot region geometries that are defined in terms of
overlapping circles; while simplified, these capture many of the possibilities suggested by detailed
modeling of return current heating. For the preferred model identified by our analysis we infer a mass
of M = 1.418 ± 0.037 M⊙ (largely informed by the PPTA mass prior) and an equatorial radius of
R = 11.36+0.95
−0.63 km, each reported as the posterior credible interval bounded by the 16% and 84%
quantiles. This radius favors softer dense matter equations of state and is highly consistent with
constraints derived from gravitational wave measurements of neutron star binary mergers. The hot
regions are inferred to be non-antipodal, and hence inconsistent with a pure centered dipole magnetic
field.

How Does Simulation-Based Testing for Self-Driving Cars Match Human Perception?Christian Birchler
Software metrics such as coverage or mutation scores have been investigated for the automated quality assessment of test suites. While traditional tools rely on software metrics, the field of self-driving cars (SDCs) has primarily focused on simulation-based test case generation using quality metrics such as the out-of-bound (OOB) parameter to determine if a test case fails or passes. However, it remains unclear to what extent this quality metric aligns with the human perception of the safety and realism of SDCs. To address this (reality) gap, we conducted an empirical study involving 50 participants to investigate the factors that determine how humans perceive SDC test cases as safe, unsafe, realistic, or unrealistic. To this aim, we developed a framework leveraging virtual reality (VR) technologies, called SDC-Alabaster, to immerse the study participants into the virtual environment of SDC simulators. Our findings indicate that the human assessment of safety and realism of failing/passing test cases can vary based on different factors, such as the test’s complexity and the possibility of interacting with the SDC. Especially for the assessment of realism, the participants’ age leads to a different perception. This study highlights the need for more research on simulation testing quality metrics and the importance of human perception in evaluating SDCs.
From Seeds to Supermassive Black Holes: Capture, Growth, Migration, and Pairi...Sérgio Sacani
The origins and mergers of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) remain a mystery. We describe a scenario from a
novel multiphysics simulation featuring rapid (1 Myr) hyper-Eddington gas capture by a ∼1000 Me “seed” black
hole (BH) up to supermassive (106 Me) masses in a massive, dense molecular cloud complex typical of highredshift starbursts. Due to the high cloud density, stellar feedback is inefficient, and most of the gas turns into stars
in star clusters that rapidly merge hierarchically, creating deep potential wells. Relatively low-mass BH seeds at
random positions can be “captured” by merging subclusters and migrate to the center in ∼1 freefall time (vastly
faster than dynamical friction). This also efficiently produces a paired BH binary with ∼0.1 pc separation. The
centrally concentrated stellar density profile (akin to a “protobulge”) allows the cluster as a whole to capture and
retain gas and build up a large (parsec-scale) circumbinary accretion disk with gas coherently funneled to the
central BH (even when the BH radius of influence is small). The disk is “hypermagnetized” and “flux-frozen”:
dominated by a toroidal magnetic field with plasma β ∼ 10−3
, with the fields amplified by flux-freezing. This
drives hyper-Eddington inflow rates 1 Me yr−1
, which also drive the two BHs to nearly equal masses. The latestage system appears remarkably similar to recently observed high-redshift “little red dots.” This scenario can
provide an explanation for rapid SMBH formation, growth, and mergers in high-redshift galaxies.
All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office Supplement to Oak Ridge National Laborat...Sérgio Sacani
In 2022, The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) contracted with Oak Ridge
National Laboratory (ORNL) to conduct materials testing on a magnesium (Mg) alloy specimen.
This specimen has been publicly alleged to be a component recovered from a crashed
extraterrestrial vehicle in 1947, and purportedly exhibits extraordinary properties, such as
functioning as a terahertz waveguide to generate antigravity capabilities. In April 2024, ORNL
produced a summary of findings documenting the laboratory’s methodology to assess this
specimen’s elemental and structural characteristics, available on AARO’s website.
ORNL assessed this specimen to be terrestrial in origin and that it does not meet the theoretical
requirements to function as a terahertz (THz) waveguide. AARO concurs with ORNL’s
assessment and provides this supplementary material to add historical context to account for its
likely origin. The specimen’s characteristics are consistent with Mg alloy research and
development projects and experimental manufacturing methods in the mid-20th century.
