Photo Release</div> <div class="news-title">The Eagle's EGGs</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>20 December 2001</strong>: Through imaging at infrared wavelengths, evidence has been found for recent star formation in the so-called "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula (also known as Messier 16), made famous when the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) obtained spectacular visible-wavelength images of this object in 1995. Those huge pillars of gas and dust are being sculpted and illuminated by bright and powerful high-mass stars in the nearby NGC 6611 young stellar cluster. The Hubble astronomers suggested that perhaps even younger stars were forming inside. Using the ISAAC instrument on the VLT 8.2-metre ANTU telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory, European astronomers have now made a wide-field infrared image of the Messier 16 region with excellent spatial resolution, enabling them to penetrate the obscuring dust and search for light from newly born stars.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0141/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0141a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0141 — Organisation Release</div> <div class="news-title">The ESO Educational Office Reaches Out towards Europe's Teachers</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>14 December 2001</strong>: The European Southern Observatory (ESO) has been involved in many Europe-wide educational projects during the past years, in particular within European Science Weeks sponsored by the European Commission (EC). In order to further enhance the significant educational potential inherent in the numerous scientific endeavours now carried out by Europe's astronomers with ESO front-line telescope facilities, it has been decided to set up an Educational Office within the ESO EPR Department. It will from now on work closely with astronomy-oriented teachers, in particular at the high-school level , providing support, inspiration and new materials.

With 14 times more mass than the Sun [1], this is the heaviest known stellar black hole in the Galaxy. Using the ISAAC instrument on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) 8.2-metre ANTU telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory, an international team of astronomers [2] peered into a remote area of the Milky Way to probe the binary system GRS 1915+105, located almost 40,000 light-years away. They were able to identify the low-mass star that feeds the black hole by means of a steady flow of stellar material. A detailed follow-up study revealed how this star revolves around its hungry companion. The analysis of the orbital motion then made it possible to estimate the mass of the black hole. The observation of the heavy black hole in GRS 1915+105 is opening up fundamental questions about how massive stellar black holes form, and whether or not such objects rotate around their own axes.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0134/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0134a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0134 — Organisation Release</div> <div class="news-title">Giant Eyes for the VLT Interferometer</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>5 November 2001</strong>: It started as a preparatory technical experiment and it soon developed into a spectacular success.

This finding strongly supports the long-held view that roughly half of the stable elements heavier than Iron are produced in common stars during a phase towards the end of their life when they burn their Helium - the other half results from supernova explosions. All the Lead contained in each of the three stars weighs about as much as our Moon. The observations show that these "Lead stars" - all members of binary stellar systems - have been more enriched with Lead than with any other chemical element heavier than Iron. This new result is in excellent agreement with predictions by current stellar models about the build-up of heavy elements in stellar interiors. The new observations are reported by a team of Belgian and French astronomers [1] who used the Coude Echelle Spectrometer on the ESO 3.6-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory (Chile).</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0128/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0128a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0128 — Science Release</div> <div class="news-title">Dancing around the Black Hole</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>14 August 2001</strong>: Supermassive Black Holes are present at the centres of many galaxies, some weighing hundreds of millions times more than the Sun. These extremely dense objects cannot be observed directly, but violently moving gas clouds and stars in their strong gravitational fields are responsible for the emission of energetic radiation from such "active galaxy nuclei" (AGN). A heavy Black Hole feeds agressively on its surroundings. When the neighbouring gas and stars finally spiral into the Black Hole, a substantial fraction of the infalling mass is transformed into pure energy. However, it is not yet well understood how, long before this dramatic event takes place, all that material is moved from the outer regions of the galaxy towards the central region. So how is the food for the central Black Hole delivered to the table in the first place? To cast more light on this central question, a team of French and Swiss astronomers [1] has carried out a series of trailblazing observations with the VLT Infrared Spectrometer And Array Camera (ISAAC) on the VLT 8.2-metre ANTU telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> </div> <div class="row news-list"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0127/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0127a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0127 — Science Release</div> <div class="news-title">The Glory of a Nearby Star</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>1 August 2001</strong>: The solar corona is a beautiful sight during total solar eclipses. It is the uppermost region of the extended solar atmosphere and consists of a very hot (over 1 million degrees), tenuous plasma of highly ionised elements that emit strong X-ray radiation. There is also a much weaker coronal emission in the optical part of the spectrum. The Sun is a normal star and X-ray observations from rockets and orbiting X-ray telescopes have shown that many other stars also possess coronae. But due to observational limits of the telescopes available so far, the much fainter optical emission from stellar coronae had never been detected. Now, however, an optical coronal line from iron ions that have lost 12 electrons (Fe XIII) has for the first time been observed in a star other than the Sun. The object, a cool star named CN Leonis, is located at a distance of 8 light-years. This impressive observational feat was performed with the UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) on the VLT 8.2-metre KUEYEN telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory, within a programme by German astronomer Jürgen Schmitt and his collaborators at the University of Hamburg Observatory.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0126/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso_colour.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0126 — Organisation Release</div> <div class="news-title">Life in the Universe</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>2 July 2001</strong>: The Universe is indescribably huge.

In the case of our Sun, the brightest star in the sky, such waves have been observed since some time, and have greatly improved our knowledge about what is going on inside. However, because they are much fainter, it has turned out to be very difficult to detect similar waves in other stars. Nevertheless, tiny oscillations in a solar-twin star have now been unambiguously detected by Swiss astronomers François Bouchy and Fabien Carrier from the Geneva Observatory, using the CORALIE spectrometer on the Swiss 1.2-metre Leonard Euler telescope at the ESO La Silla Observatory. This telescope is mostly used for discovering exoplanets. The star Alpha Centauri A is the nearest star visible to the naked eye, at a distance of a little more than 4 light-years.

This finding is based on detailed observations with SOFI, a specialised infrared-sensitive instrument at the ESO 3.5-m New Technology Telescope at the La Silla Observatory. It is of special interest because it sheds light on the origin and nature of substellar objects, known as "Brown Dwarfs". In particular, these results suggest that Brown Dwarfs share a common origin with stars and that Brown Dwarfs are more similar in nature to stars than to planets and, like stars, have the potential to form with accompanying systems of planets. Moreover, the presence of dusty protoplanetary disks around the faintest objects in the Orion Nebula cluster confirms both the membership of these faint stars in the cluster and their nature as bona-fide substellar objects, making this the largest population of Brown Dwarf objects yet known.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> </div> <div class="row statusbar"><div class="col-md-3"> Showing 1 to 20 of 43 </div><div class="col-md-6"><div class="text-center"><ul class="pagination"><li class="active"><a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/2001/list/1/">1</a></li><li><a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/2001/list/2/">2</a></li><li><a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/2001/list/3/">3</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="col-md-3 prev-next"><a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/2001/list/2/">Next</a></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-12"></div></div> <div class="copyright"> <a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/outreach/copyright/">Usage of ESO Images, Videos, Web texts and Music</a><br/> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="row footernote"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209/mailto:information@eso.org">Send us your comments!</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/outreach/newsletters/esonews/">Subscribe to receive news from ESO in your language</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209/https://www.cdn77.com/">Accelerated by CDN77</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="/web/20210417211209/https://www.eso.org/public/about-eso/privacy/">Terms & Conditions</a> </div> </div> <link href="/web/20210417211209cs_/https://www.eso.org/public/archives/djp/css/extras.166b25c68b97.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> <script type="text/javascript">var MEDIA_URL = "/public/archives/"</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/web/20210417211209js_/https://www.eso.org/public/archives/djp/js/main.86f0f17c90d3.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div>  <div id="social-share" class="hidden-print"> <div class="link facebook" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on Facebook"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209/https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/2001/" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link twitter" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on Twitter"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209/http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/2001/&text=&via=ESO" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link pinterest" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on Pinterest"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209/http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/2001/&media=&description=" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-pinterest" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link print" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Print"> <a href="javascript:window.print()" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-print" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link email" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share by email"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210417211209/mailto:%20?subject=ESO — Press Releases 2001&body=https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/2001/" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> </div> <script> $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip(); </script> <input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="6VZIe73q03T6KBLHbtzbKWqK1wgB8Qhq26zAJsDxKlC37gcDzyETbkfsSua1Vmgd"/> </body> </html>
