24 23 The Electromagnetic Spectrum

25 24 slit prism The Sun screen Thermometer Infra Red Light Normal Visible Light INFRARED (UV light) Sir Frederick William Herschel (1738-1822)

26 25 Infra Red Light Energy of radiation depends on its’ TEMPERATURE Wavelength of radiation depends on its’ TEMPERATURE High Temperature  radiate at shorter wavelengths Cooler Temperature  radiate at longer wavelengths Infra Red Light UV Light UV Light

27 26 Infra Red Light Energy radiated  (Temperature) 4 Deserts absorb/radiate heat quickly Land radiates more energy than sea High clouds cooler than low clouds

28 27 Infra Red Light Different colors absorb different amounts of heat Were used to write the names of the colors used on a white piece of paper Paper is then put outside in warm sunlight Infra Red picture taken after 1 minute Brighter areas show colors which are warmer because they absorb more heat from the sun. Notice how the color black is the warmest, followed by blue, green, red, yellow and then white Wear light colored clothing on a hot day !! keeps you cooler outdoors

29 28 The Infra Red ZOO !! http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/ How different would our world look through infrared eyes ?

30 29 WHY Infra Red Light ?

31 30 WHY Infra Red Light ?

32 31 WHY Infra Red Light ? The stars we see represent only a fraction of the light in the Universe Stars are born inside giant gas clouds  Youngest Stars are HIDDEN ! Young stars gradually blow away surrounding gas and dust Eventually become bright and visible !!

33 32 WHY Infra Red Light ? The stars we see represent only a fraction of the light in the Universe Dust clouds between the stars obscure large regions The visible light coming from objects behind the dust cloud is BLOCKED! Infrared light shows where the Universe is cold and where it’s hot ! Infrared light shows us where hot young stars are being born : Young Stars emit strong UV/visible light : this is short wavelength : Dust absorbs this light : Dust is heated : Dust re- emits light in infrared region : this is long wavelength

34 33 WHY Infra Red Light ? o What we see depends on the wavelength (colour) of IR light o Short wavelengths see through the dust  Old stars o Longer wavelength sees heat from the dust  Young stars Looking at the Universe at different wavelengths gives us completely different pictures http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/

35 34 WHY from Space ? =10 2 Hz =10 6 m E=10 -12 eV =10 30 Hz =10 -15 m E=10 9 eV ~30 powers of 10 Optical light spans barely an order of magnitude !! WHY from Space ?

36 35 WHY from Space ? 1983 IRAS 1985 IRTS 1997 ISO 2003 SPITZER 2006 ASTRO-F

37 36 WHY from Space ? For infrared astronomy - Need to launch telescopes into space ! http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/

38 37 The Infra Red Universe NGC7331: Our Galaxy’s Twin Brother 50 Million Light Years in Pegasus Discovered by Herschel in 1784 Optical, short IRAC, long IRAC, composite IRAC image Short wavelengths - StarsLong wavelengths - PAH emission http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/

39 38 The Infra Red Universe Through the Infra Red Looking Glass http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/

40 39 The ASTRO-F Mission ASTRO-F

41 40 The ASTRO-F Mission 69cm Ritchey-Chretien cooled telescope FIR All Sky Survey NIR-FIR deep imaging & spectroscopy Launch: ISAS MV–6 in Summer 2005 Sun-synchronous polar orbit Mission lifetime: ~ 550 days + ISAS/SNU /IC/Kent/Sussex /SRON/ESA Second Japanese space infrared mission

42 41 The ASTRO-F Mission IRC FIS

43 42 Mapping the Universe ASTRO-F will: n Make a map of the entire Universe n Discover Millions of new galaxies n Measure how fast these galaxies are making stars n Discover when Galaxies made all their stars n Tell us about the Universe at different wavelengths

44 43 Mapping the Universe What will ASTRO-F see ? Galaxies Dust

45 44 Mapping the Universe n Look at a piece of the sky n Throw away all the rubbish n Mark where the galaxies are n Create a catalogue of Galaxies How do we map the Universe ?

46 45 The History of Our Universe Looking BACK in time To LARGE distances When Galaxies were YOUNGER HDF z~0.1  z ~ 1.3Gyr HDF z~1  z ~ 7.5Gyr HDF z~2  z ~ 10Gyr HDF z~3  z ~ 11Gyr Nearby Galaxies Today 1,000,000,000 years ago 10,000,000,000 years ago11,000,000,000 years ago 8,000,000,000 years ago We want to see if far away galaxies are different from nearby galaxies ??

47 46 The History of Our Universe n When were the galaxies born? n When did they make their stars? http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov

48 47 What is Our Universe Made of ? http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/ WMAP Probe  a different temperature map The very early Universe We don’t know what 96% of the Universe is even made of !!!

49 48 What is Our Universe Made of ? http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/ Connecting the very early Universe with today’s Universe

50 49 The Universe Now and Then http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/ Connecting the very early Universe with today’s Universe The Universe Now and Then Galaxies are made at places where the Universe is most dense

51 50 The Universe Now and Then Connecting the very early Universe with today’s Universe The ASTRO-F dark Energy Project time The WMAP Universe The ASTRO-F Universe

52 51 Our Amazing Universe !! n We want a multi-wavelength map of the Universe ! http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/

53 52 Things to “Keep in Mind” We only see a tiny fraction of the Universe with our eyes (visible light) Looking in the infrared  we can see heat emission from objects The Universe looks completely different in the Infra-Red We need to launch rockets to get our infrared telescopes above the atmosphere With infrared space telescopes we can see new stars being born in young galaxies We will make a infrared map of the entire Universe with ASTRO-F “The Universe is not made of Atoms it is made of Stories” — Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) poet. “The Universe is not made of Atoms it is made of Stories” — Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) poet. どうもありがとうございます !
