James Webb Space Telescope mai yiwuwa ya gano supernova na farko

A cikin hotuna na baya-bayan nan na wani galaxy mai suna SDSS.J141930.11+5251593 da James Webb Space Telescope ya kama, masana taurari sun hango wani abu da ba a saba gani ba: wani abu mai haske sosai. Wannan abin da ba a saba gani ba zai iya zama supernova, wanda ake zargin masana ilmin taurari.

Webb ya lura da galaxy sau biyu. Abun mai haske ya dushe a cikin kwanaki biyar, yana nuna yana iya zama supernova.

Na ɗaya, abu yana da matuƙar haske idan aka kwatanta da sauran taurarin. Idan supernova ne, mai yiyuwa ne supernova na farko da Webb Telescope ya gano. ) "Za mu buƙaci ƙarin bayanai-jerin lokaci don yanke shawara, amma bayanan da muke da su sun yi daidai da supernova, don haka ɗan takara ne mai kyau."

Galaxy SDSS.J141930.11+5251593 yana da shekaru biliyan 3 zuwa 4 haske daga Duniya.

Engesser ya ce, “Da farko, abin farin ciki ne domin mun nuna cewa muna iya nemowa da gano sabbin hanyoyin wucewa tare da Webb, wani abu da JWST ba ta tsara shi don yin ba. Amma yana daya daga cikin abubuwan da muke nuna cewa muna iya yin ta ta hanyar ad hoc."

Gano abin mamaki ne, domin ba a gina na'urar hangen nesa ta James Webb don neman supernovae ba. Ana yin wannan aikin ta hanyar manyan na'urorin hangen nesa na bincike waɗanda ke duba sararin sama a ɗan gajeren lokaci. Webb, a gefe guda, yana yin nazari dalla-dalla dalla-dalla wani ɗan ƙaramin yanki na sararin samaniya.

Engesser da abokin aikinsa sun kwatanta sabbin bayanai daga kayan aikin NIRCam na Webb tare da hotunan Hubble na yanki guda. An yi amfani da software don gano kowane bambance-bambancen da zai iya bayyana abubuwan 'masu wucewa' waɗanda suka bayyana, bace, haskakawa ko duhu akan sikelin lokaci waɗanda zamu iya gani a ainihin lokaci. Haka tawagar ta sami supernova.
