宇宙搜索的英语作文Cosmic Inquisitions: Embarking on the Enigmatic Quest for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.From the dawn of human consciousness, we have been driven by an insatiable curiosity to unravel the mysteries that shroud the boundless depths of the cosmos. Embedded within this cosmic tapestry lies an enigma that has captivated generations of astronomers, philosophers, and laypeople alike: the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).The idea of life beyond Earth has tantalized humankind for millennia, inspiring countless works of fiction and scientific speculation. From H.G. Wells' seminal "War of the Worlds" to Arthur C. Clarke's groundbreaking "2001: A Space Odyssey," extraterrestrial beings have permeated the realm of human imagination.The scientific quest for SETI, however, is a far morerigorous and systematic undertaking. It encompasses a diverse array of disciplines, ranging from astronomy and astrophysics to planetary science and linguistics. The ultimate goal of SETI is to detect and communicate with intelligent civilizations beyond our own planet.One of the primary approaches employed in SETI is the use of radio telescopes. These colossal instruments are designed to capture electromagnetic signals that may originate from distant sources. The assumption is that an advanced civilization would possess the technological capability to transmit radio waves, either intentionally or as a byproduct of their activities.The search for radio signals is conducted across a vast expanse of the electromagnetic spectrum, encompassing frequencies that are likely to be used for interstellar communication. The data collected from these observationsis meticulously analyzed using sophisticated algorithms and statistical techniques to identify any anomalies that could potentially indicate extraterrestrial origins.Another promising avenue of inquiry in SETI is the search for optical signals. This involves monitoring the night sky for intense flashes of light that could be generated by advanced civilizations using powerful lasers or other optical communication devices. The detection of such signals would provide strong evidence of the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.In addition to searching for electromagnetic signals, SETI researchers are also exploring the possibility of detecting other forms of extraterrestrial presence. This includes the search for biosignatures, which are chemical markers that could indicate the presence of life in the atmospheres of exoplanets. The discovery of organic molecules or certain isotopic ratios in these atmospheres would be tantalizing evidence of biological activity beyond Earth.The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a long and arduous endeavor that requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to explore the unknown. It is a testament to the boundless curiosity of humankind and our unwaveringdesire to understand our place in the universe.While the discovery of extraterrestrial life would undoubtedly be one of the most profound scientific breakthroughs in human history, its implications extend far beyond the realm of science. It would challenge our fundamental assumptions about the uniqueness of Earth and the nature of consciousness. It would force us to confront the vastness of the cosmos and our own insignificancewithin it.The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a bold and ambitious quest that holds the potential to transform our understanding of the universe. It is an exploration of the unknown, a journey into the enigmatic depths of cosmic mysteries. As we continue to scan the stars, we are guided by the unwavering hope that one day, we will make contact with a distant civilization, bridging the vast interstellar gulf that separates us.。

悟空号暗物质粒子探测卫星英文作文The "Wukong" satellite, a dark matter particle detector, is a real-life superhero in the sky. It's not just a satellite, it's a quest for the unknown, a journey into the depths of space. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you look up at the stars and wonder.This little guy is out there, scanning the cosmos, looking for clues that could unlock the secrets of dark matter. It's kind of like a cosmic detective, piecing together the puzzle of the universe. And you know what?It's doing it all on its own, without any help from us down here.Imagine that! A satellite, zipping around the Earth, collecting data that could change our understanding of the universe. It's pretty amazing when you think about it. And not just that, but it's doing it in a way that's prettycool and futuristic. It's using state-of-the-art technology to detect particles that we can't even see with our owneyes.So why is dark matter so important? Well, it's kind of like the missing piece in the puzzle of the universe. We know it's there, we can see its effects on galaxies and clusters of galaxies, but we don't know what it is made of. That's where "Wukong" comes in. It's helping us to find out more about this mysterious substance that makes up so much of our universe.In a way, "Wukong" is like a modern-day explorer, venturing into the unknown, seeking knowledge and understanding. And who knows?。

Scoville),entailing the largest ever allocation of HST telescope time–590orbits for ACS I band imaging of the fullfield,and the extensive optical spectroscopic survey with the VIMOS multi-object spectrograph at the VLT with the aim of obtaining∼105spectroscopic redshifts.The equatorialfield of the COSMOS project offers the critical advantage of allow-ing major observatories from both hemispheres to join forces in this endeavor.Numerous state-of-the-art imaging campaigns at all wavelengths(X-ray to millimeter)are currently underway for the COSMOSfield.To study LSS it is essential to obtain high spatial resolution data over the entire elec-tromagnetic spectrum covering the full2deg2.Also,surveys of active galactic nuclei benefit from the combination of areal coverage and depth that characterizes the COSMOS project. To match the typical resolution for optical-NIR ground-based data of∼1′′,observations with the VLA must be conducted in the A-array which provides a resolution of about2′′at 1.4GHz.In order to cover an area as large as the COSMOSfield mosaicking is necessary. We undertook the VLA-COSMOS pilot project to test this approach,since no mosaicking observations in the wide-field imaging mode with the VLA A-array at1.4GHz had been attempted yet.The observations and data reduction are described in Section2.In section3we compare and test the source detection algorithms used,followed by the description of the provided catalog and the resulting source counts in section4.Individual sources are presented and discussed in section5,and a summary is given in section6.2.Observations and Data ReductionThe pilot VLA observations were designed to cover roughly the central1◦of the1.4◦×1.4◦COSMOS HSTfield.As described in Condon et al.(1998)a hexagonal pattern for the pointing centers gives both an almost uniform sensitivity distribution and a high mapping efficiency for large areas.To cover the central degree of the COSMOSfield we used7in-dividual pointings separated by15′(the radius of the HPBW;see Tab.1).Our pointing separation is smaller than the26′separation used for the1.4GHz NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS;Condon et al.1998)conducted with the VLA D-array in order to minimize the effect of bandwidth smearing which is about2′′at15′distance from the pointing center.Thefinal pointing pattern is shown in Fig.1.The COSMOSfield was observed at1.4GHz for10hr in total on August1st,2003withthe NRAO Very Large Array(VLA)in its A configuration.The standard L-Band continuum frequencies of1.3649GHz and1.4351GHz were used.In order to minimize the effect of bandwidth smearing,the observations were conducted in the multi-channel continuum mode giving two intermediate frequencies(IFs)with2polarizations each.For each IF6channels with3.125MHz were usable for our observations resulting in a total bandwidth of75MHz. The standard VLAflux calibrator1331+305(3C286)was observed at the beginning and end of the observing run and served as aflux and passband calibrator.To monitor the phase and amplitudefluctuation we observed1024-008for1.5min every40min.1024-008is at a distance of about6◦from the COSMOSfield center with a derivedflux density of0.95Jy at 1.4GHz during the time of the observations.A typical40min source cycle contained several ∼8min long observations per pointing.Thefinal on-source integration time was about1hr perfield.The data reduction was done using the NRAO AIPS package,following the standard path for wide-field imaging and mosaicking(e.g.Condon et al.1998,Richards2000).After afirst atmospheric calibration using1024-008,amplitude and phase self-calibration was employed using the25-30strongest(few mJy/beam)continuum sources present within the field.In order to improve the rms noise level,all obvious radio frequency interference(RFI) wasflagged in each channel.In addition,we clipped all uv data points above a threshold of 550mJy/beam.A robust=1weighting provided the optimum between rms sensitivity and Gaussian beam shape with a resolution of1.9′′×1.6′′(PA=-23deg).Despite the equatorial field the side-lobes of the resulting dirty beam are below the10%level.Thefinal rms noise in eachfield ranged from46µJy/beam(pointing1)to36µJy/beam(pointing7)due to the very low elevation at the beginning of the observations.For thefinal mosaic each pointing was deconvolved separately using the3-dimensional CLEAN algorithm of the AIPS task ’IMAGR’.We CLEANed down to a residualflux level of2.5σ.The individual pointing images were combined using the AIPS task’FLATN’which also takes the primary beam correction into account.When combining images,we blanked data outside the40%power radius of the primary beam.This is not quite optimal for the S/N ratio(see Condon et al.1998for a discussion),however it reduces the effect of the bandwidth smearing.(The beam broadening due to bandwidth smearing is about1.45at the40%power radius and2.0at the10%radius.)The variations of the rms noise in the central30’which have highest sensitivity(seefig.2)are about10%close to the standard noise variations found for single pointings of about7%.The rms noise in thefinal mosaic is ∼25µJy/beam for the central part and uniform out to a radius of about7′,it increases to 100µJy/beam at a radius of about29′.Theflux calibration was checked on sources common to the NVSS(Condon et al.1998)and individual pointings.For each pointing we checked about5sources which all showed good agreement in theflux values when taking into accountthe different resolution of the NVSS and COSMOS data.The strongest radio emission peak detected has aflux density of13mJy/beam.The VLA dynamic range due to confusing sidelobes resulting from calibration errors is typically a few1000.Thus this13mJy source will not limit the rms noise down to a level of a fewµJy)in the COSMOSfield.The unique aspect of the VLA-COSMOS pilot project is its high angular resolution of about2′′compared to,for example,6′′×12′′of the Phoenix Deep Survey(PDS;Hopkins et al.2003)and6′′of the Virmos Deep Field(VDF;Bondi et al.2003).Both of these surveys cover a comparable(VDF)or significantly larger area(PDS).The rms noise of the most sensitive area is better by about a factor of1.5(VDS)to2(PDS).For comparison,the full VLA-COSMOS survey is designed to cover2deg2with an rms of∼10µJy in the central 1deg2at a resolution of about2′′.3.Source Finding and MeasurementsTwo different source detection algorithms were thoroughly tested and compared:’SAD’(Search And Destroy)in the software package AIPS and’SFIND’in the software package MIRIAD(Hopkins et al.2002,2003).Both tasks give parametrized results for the detected components/sources from Gaussianfits to the data.The SAD task is based on source detection in a simpleσ-clipped image assuming a constant rms noise over the entirefield. (Corrections for primary beam effects can be included for single pointings only.)Thus,in order to be able to use SAD we computed a sensitivity map(Fig.2)from the individual pointings using the AIPS task’STESS’and derived a S/N map for the entire mosaic.Then SAD was run on the S/N map(Fig.3)using a5σdetection limit.The task SFIND is based on the’False Detection Rate’(FDR)algorithm(Hopkins et al.2002,Miller et al.2001).The pixels for the component/source detection are selected from a distribution of pixels with a robustly known chanceα(provided by the user)of being falsely drawn from the background.We followed the approach for using SFIND outlined by Hopkins et al.(2003).To run SFIND the mosaic was divided into four quadrants.A box size of100pixels(=47′′)was used to determine the local rms noise.This size provided the best compromise between closely following the varying sensitivity and still avoiding higher rms noise values close to extended radio galaxies which are mainly present south-east of theCOSMOSfield center.We selected theαparameter to be5%,meaning that only5%of all pixels selected should be false detections.Hopkins et al.(2002)showed that this number is about the same for the number of false source detections.Anαof5%translates into a detection threshold of∼4.5σover the entire COSMOSfield corresponding to∼100µJy/beam in thefield center which has the best sensitivity.In addition,we did not require that forsource measurements all pixels belonging to that source lie above the detection threshold, i.e.they had to be be contiguous and monotonically decreasing from the peak pixel,but not necessarily to lie above the detection threshold.To test the effect of bandwidth smearing on the derived source size,we made use of sources present in several individual pointings.We compared the derived source sizes in the final mosaic to the source sizes derived in the individual pointings.No large effect(fitted point source size≤2′′)of source size broadening due to bandwidth smearing was found, as the sources which were at large radii in one pointing were generally close to the center of another pointing.Due to the much higher weight of the central position,the effect of bandwidth smearing was negligible compared to our clean beam size.Thus we conclude that bandwidth smearing is not a dominant factor in broadening the intrinsic source sizes.In a second test we evaluated the effects of the bandwidth smearing and the imag-ing/deconvolution process on the properties(peakflux,integratedflux,source size)of point sources in the VLA mosaic determined by the SAD and SFIND routines.For this purpose 10point source models with peak values ranging from6to95σand sizes from unresolved to3′′were inserted in the uv dataset.This uv dataset was then processed in the same way as the science data tofind the inserted sources.SFIND recovered all of the inserted sources whereas SAD did notfind the6σsource.Thefluxes were recovered by both tasks within their uncertainties.However,both tasks gave largerfitted source sizes for the weaker sources than the model inputs,in particular point sources appeared resolved with deconvolved sizes from0.6′′to1.2′′.Thus we speculate that systematic effects in the data(clean beam shape versus dirty beam shape,noise distribution,etc.)have a stronger influence on the source size than bandwidth smearing for the given observing set-up.No systematic differences were found by determining the source sizes using the SAD and SFIND routines or by performing thefitting’by hand’using thefitting tasks available in MIRIAD and AIPS.We also compared the source positions derived by SAD and SFIND.The average disagreement between positions in SFIND and SAD is about0.05′′.No systematic effect is seen.Therefore,we conclude that our absolute astrometric uncertainty is of the order of∼0.05′′.We decided to use the SFIND algorithm for constructing thefinal source catalog,since it calculates the actual rms noise at the position of the source and it seemed more sensitive to the weakest sources.4.Catalog and CountsThe final catalog (see section 4and Tab.2)was constructed from an initial list of 305components found by the routine SFIND for a False Detection Rate of 5%(see section 3).(Note that about 5%of these components should be false detections,as already mentioned in section 3.)We identified by eye 20sources (or groups)which were fitted by multiple (sometimes even overlapping)Gaussian components.These 20groups are displayed in Fig.9-13),Tab.4lists the number of Gaussian components found for each of these sources.For these groups,the position and flux density of the emission peak of the entire group of components replaced the entries of the individual components in the final source catalog.The integrated flux of a group was derived using the AIPS task TVSTAT which allowed us to integrate over the irregular area of these sources giving a non-parametric result.One obvious misidentification on a side-lobe was rejected as well.The final catalog contains a total of 246sources.The distribution of sources with respect to the integrated flux density shows that the completeness of the catalog at the faintest flux levels (≤250µJy)is fairly low (Fig.4).4.1.Uncertainty EstimateThe uncertainties on the integrated and peak flux densities determined by a Gaussian fit are in general smaller than the true uncertainties.The error propagation equations by Condon (1997)which assume that Gaussian random noise is dominating the uncertainties in the data (Condon 1997)can be used to estimate the true uncertainties.We followed the approach given by Hopkins et al.(2003)based on the assumption that the relative uncertainty σII= I 2+ µfitI in the data is given by Windhorst,van Heerde &Katgert (1984):µdata rmsto pointing errors of the individual telescopes which are together of the order of1%.Equation(42)of Condon(1997)gives a relation between the relative uncertainty from thefitting and the rms noise in the image which is correlated over the synthesized beam area. Following Hopkins et al.(2003;see their equation3),we use the product of the major and minor axis of the full width half maximum of the beam(θBθb)and the measured source size (θMθm).Thefitting of the peakflux S,major axisθM and minor axisθm has the relativeuncertaintiesµSθM andµmX 2≈2 I= ρ2S+ θBθbρ2M+24θBθb 1+θBθm β Sfor weak radio sources(withfitted sizes smaller than about2.5′′)in our VLA data remains largely unknown.4.3.Description of the CatalogThefinal catalog is presented in Tab.2.Sources which werefitted by multiple Gaussian components are presented in detail in Section5,in Tab.2we list the position of the emis-sion peak as well as the derived integratedflux for these sources.(Note that the absolute astrometric uncertainty is of the order of0.05′′;see section3.)All246radio sources are listed in right ascension order in Tab.2with the following columns:Column(1):Right ascension(J2000.0)and its rms uncertaintyColumn(2):Declination(J2000.0)and its rms uncertaintyColumn(3):Peakflux density and its rms uncertaintyColumn(4):Integratedflux density and its rms uncertaintyColumn(5):rms measured by SFIND at the position of the radio sourceColumn(6):Fitted source size–major axisθM,fitColumn(7):Fitted source size–minor axisθm,fitColumn(8):Fitted source size–P A fitColumn(9):Deconvolved source size–major axisθM,decColumn(10):Deconvolved source size–minor axisθm,decColumn(11):Deconvolved source size–P A decColumn(12):Flag for sources with multiple components which are presented in Section5.4.4.Number CountsTo derive the number counts,we divided our source catalog into six bins with about 40sources each to provide reasonable statistics.This is intended to test whether the radio source counts in the COSMOSfield are similar to the ones obtained in other deep radio fields.In order to derive the correct source counts at a givenflux density,we need to correct for the fact that the rms noise across thefield is varying(weighting correction)and that weaker extended source will be missed as their peakflux density is below our detection threshold while their integratedflux density might still be above(resolution effect).The relation between the measured source counts N and the corrected source counts N eff is:N eff=N×w×r.(5) The weighting correction w simply depends on the effective area D for source detection with respect to the total area T covered by the survey(see Fig.6):w=T/D(6) Windhorst et al.(1990)gives the following relation for the distribution of the source sizes h(Ψ)at a givenflux density(see also Hopkins et al.1998):h(Ψ)=e−ln 2 Ψ.(8)1−h(Ψmax)Windhorst et al.(1993)derived an average source size of about2.0′′for sub-mJy sources. Richards(2000)and Bondi et al.(2003)find similar values,however Bondi et al.(2003) found that the Windhorst et al.(1990)relation over-predicts the number of sources with large angular sizes through comparison to their data on the VDFfield.To allow for easy comparison,we use the Windhorst et al.(1990)relation with an average source size of2.0′′(see Tab.3).We present the Euclidean normalized differential source counts dNthat about75%of all our radio sources will have optical counterparts in the HST images.The resolved optical sources range from knotty spiral galaxies,one apparently interactinggalaxy pair to early type galaxies(Fig.8).This clearly demonstrates that the combinationof the HST ACS data and the VLA radio data(together with ground-based optical imagingand spectroscopic data as well as XMM X-ray data)will allow classification of the origin ofthe radio emission(star formation vs.AGN)based on host galaxy properties.We identified20radio sources which werefit by more than one Gaussian componentpresent in the pilot data-set(Fig.9to13).These radio groups are listed in Tab.4.Mostof them are very likely FRII radio galaxies exhibiting the typical double-lobe structure.Notrandomly distributed,an apparent cluster of6radio galaxies is seen to the south-east of theCOSMOSfield center with an extent of∼10′.Thefive double-lobed radio galaxies(ID#134,138,159,181and182in Tab.4)and the1single-lobed radio galaxy(ID#141in Tab.4)of this apparent cluster are shown in Fig.9to13.6.Summary and ConclusionsWe have presented thefirst wide-field imaging mosaic obtained with the VLA in Aconfiguration at1.4GHz.These data cover the inner1degree of the COSMOSfield down toan rms noise level of∼25µJy/beam in the inner region.We present a radio source catalogcontaining246entries above the4.5σlimit.About20sources are well-resolved into multiple components likely being double-lobed radio galaxies.An apparent cluster of6radio galaxiesis found to the southeast of the COSMOSfield containing5double-lobed radio galaxies.No strong radio emission peak was found in thefield which could prevent further deep(down to the fewµJy level)radio imaging of the COSMOSfield.The radio number countsare consistent with those derived for otherfields such as the Phoenix deepfield and theVIRMOS deepfield showing that the COSMOSfield is a representativefield in the radiodomain.Comparison between the sourcefinding algorithms SAD in AIPS and SFIND in MIRIADshows similar results for thefitting of the source properties,however,SFIND was more sensi-tive to sources close to our detection limits.We found that onlyfitted source sizes≥2.5′′arereliable in our data.The full VLA-COSMOS source catalog as well as the image are availablein electronic form from the COSMOS archive at IPAC/IRSA(/data/ starting mid-Aug2004).In the future,the COSMOS archive will also contain(photometric and spectroscopic)redshifts,optical morphologies,andflux densities from the X-ray to millimeter wavelengths.Special thanks to A.Hopkins for his advice on the use of SFIND.We would also like to thank F.Owen and E.Greisen for helpful discussion on the data processing.ES and CC acknowledge support from NASA grant HST-GO-09822.31-A.REFERENCESBalogh,M.,et al.2004,MNRAS,348,1355Bondi,M.,et al.2003,A&A,403,857Ciliegi,P.,et al.1999,MNRAS,302,222Condon,J.J.1997,PASP,109,166Condon,J.J.,Cotton,W.
