Living Today again a lecture from
00:00:07
Rosenheim namely Gaia by Professor Dr
00:00:11
Stefan Jordan from the Center for Astronomy
00:00:14
in Heidelberg Gaia is one of those
00:00:17
cool spaceships that takes a closer look at the Milky Way
00:00:21
and namely Gaia
00:00:23
measures the Milky Way in the most precise
00:00:26
positions and from these
00:00:32
At the beginning, colleague Jordan will first
00:00:35
introduce the mission and
00:00:37
then go to the latest
00:00:39
findings from the latest data release
00:00:41
and those who already know the beginning
00:00:43
can simply jump behind it with a jump mark
00:00:45
and then go
00:00:47
straight to it look at the results have
00:00:49
fun there is the second star catalog
00:00:52
sounds boring at first
00:00:53
actually the first year
00:00:55
is perhaps the most exciting part or
00:00:57
the very last part there will be
00:00:59
more catalogs coming they are getting better and
00:01:01
better the first catalog was
00:01:03
a certain way are small
00:01:04
appetizers for the astronomers where we
00:01:06
will therefore also say a little about how
00:01:08
the comparison with the current
00:01:09
star catalog compares. I will of course also
00:01:11
pay particular attention to the current one, so the
00:01:13
big step from Gaia was this
00:01:15
second star catalog, the others are
00:01:17
essential improvements that need
00:01:19
We also definitely do, but this is a
00:01:21
really, really big step within this
00:01:23
project and that's why the
00:01:26
publication on April 25, 2018, when
00:01:30
this Gaia catalog was
00:01:33
accessible to all astronomers at 12 noon, was
00:01:35
a challenge for
00:01:38
many who then immediately went to their computers
00:01:40
Those who
00:01:41
downloaded the data made
00:01:42
the first publications within a few days,
00:01:44
so that was really a
00:01:46
big step in astronomy, not
00:01:49
perhaps a big step like
00:01:51
Neil Armstrong's step, but
00:01:53
also a very, very
00:01:55
huge step for astronomy
00:01:58
I'm going to say a little bit about improving the Milky Way
00:02:00
and what we see here is an
00:02:01
animation, that's what it's a satellite.
00:02:04
In reality, this parasol
00:02:07
that you see here is 10
00:02:08
and a half meters in diameter, so it
00:02:10
's
00:02:12
currently about a million and a half
00:02:13
kilometers away
00:02:19
The actual instruments
00:02:21
are here in the shadow of this
00:02:23
parasol, which is always aligned 45 degrees relative
00:02:26
to the sun, which
00:02:28
means that the
00:02:29
temperature of Gaia remains constant. We have to
00:02:32
ensure that somehow The
00:02:33
measurements that are supposed to be so precise can
00:02:35
then also be made in an environment
00:02:37
that is very calm and
00:02:40
predictable and Gaia actually rotates on its
00:02:46
own axis as shown here,
00:02:47
so that sounds a little more exciting.
00:02:49
I have another one
00:02:50
In reality, it was made a little faster,
00:02:51
but that was six hours, that
00:02:53
was once it rotates around the axis, but
00:02:54
then you would hardly see anything,
00:02:56
that's why we just sped it up a little bit
00:02:57
here as we
00:02:59
speak, Gaia is making more measurements,
00:03:01
new stars are constantly being measured and
00:03:04
every minute On average, the number of stars we are here will be
00:03:07
measured at more than 110,000, and
00:03:12
this data will
00:03:13
be constantly collected and transmitted to the ground every day.
00:03:16
Typically, we have six
00:03:19
to eight hours of ground contact with one of
00:03:21
the 35 meter antennas that ESA has there There are
00:03:23
three of them, one in Spain, one in
00:03:26
Australia and one in Argentina and
00:03:29
sometimes we need all three
00:03:31
then if you know me, yes, the one along the
00:03:33
Milky Way then there is a
00:03:34
particularly large amount of data in the Rhine, the
00:03:36
memory would overflow pretty quickly and
00:03:38
then sometimes three antennas and
00:03:39
then downloading the data.
00:03:41
Sometimes we also compete with
00:03:43
other projects,
00:03:45
especially when we land on Mars, then
00:03:47
they also want a bit of something,
00:03:49
but we are actually the main users of
00:03:51
the antennas at the moment with
00:03:53
the Goya project and on April 25th
00:03:57
We have published our second Gaia catalog
00:04:00
and that is a
00:04:01
huge amount of numbers that
00:04:04
you can do something with, namely
00:04:06
1.7 billion star
00:04:10
positions that we have measured and
00:04:12
the brightness of the star
00:04:15
is 1.7 billion billion How
00:04:17
can you spend a large sum when it comes to
00:04:18
money? It's quickly spent
00:04:21
1.7 billion if you
00:04:23
want to count for each team that needs 1.7 billion for
00:04:25
every paying second. Looked at
00:04:27
that 51 years so that's a
00:04:30
big number for 1,
00:04:33
We also measured the brightness of 4 billion stars,
00:04:35
not only in the overall brightness
00:04:37
but also the brightness in the red
00:04:38
range and in the blue range I would certainly have
00:04:40
range so that we also know the colors of the
00:04:42
stars, that is, the colors of the
00:04:45
stars tell us something
00:04:46
about them, for example Temperature of the star A red
00:04:48
star is cooler than a blue star
00:04:50
and there is no point in
00:04:53
us knowing exactly the positions of the stars and
00:04:54
a lot about the stars but, for
00:04:56
example, not knowing certain parameters
00:05:00
Special is
00:05:02
hidden in this sphere here or
00:05:04
hidden on this circle here that is 1.3
00:05:07
billion positions, to which is added
00:05:11
the movement of the stars,
00:05:13
how they move in the sky and their
00:05:16
distance measurement and that is
00:05:18
really the great progress that is
00:05:21
in here And it
00:05:22
's really incomparable if I
00:05:24
compare it with the first star catalog from
00:05:25
Gaia that we published in September 2016. There
00:05:28
were two million
00:05:30
stars now 1.3 billion and the two
00:05:34
million were 20 times more than we
00:05:36
had before, that is Not only do you
00:05:38
have a small appetite, it was already
00:05:39
quite a good appetite, with which
00:05:41
many astronomical
00:05:42
discoveries have already been made.
00:05:44
Here, another
00:05:46
parameter such as the
00:05:48
surface temperatures, radii, luminous
00:05:50
forces, amount of dust in the direction of the stars
00:05:53
was also measured for seven million stars
00:05:55
The speed will be measured by the stars
00:05:58
moving towards us or away from us. There will be
00:06:01
many more to come. At the
00:06:03
moment these are only the brightest stars. That
00:06:05
will be significantly more in the next catalogs. There will
00:06:08
be significantly more stars that measure with Gaia Just how
00:06:10
does the star in the
00:06:12
sky move tangentially to the
00:06:14
direction of view, so to speak, but if we
00:06:16
want to know the real movement in space
00:06:18
we still have to know how fast
00:06:20
the star is moving towards us and away from us.
00:06:23
We only know that for 7 stars at the moment
00:06:25
In the end we will
00:06:27
have maybe something like 100 million stars
00:06:28
that is a little more difficult to measure
00:06:30
that came because we don't get quite as deep
00:06:32
from the brightnesses so that's why
00:06:35
it will be less than
00:06:37
this but the crucial thing
00:06:39
is and the distance measurement of the
00:06:41
stars, which I
00:06:43
will say a little more about,
00:06:45
then the catalog contains a
00:06:47
little appetizer for people who
00:06:50
deal with variable stars, i.e. star conductor
00:06:52
brightness changes, so we have
00:06:54
half a million at the moment
00:06:55
Objects in there will be a lot more
00:06:58
and 14,000 objects in our
00:07:00
solar system mainly asteroids
00:07:02
that will be around 250,000 300,000
00:07:04
that we will measure with Gaia where we can
00:07:07
not only measure urban measurements
00:07:09
but also objects in our
00:07:10
solar system and thus their orbits
00:07:12
The future
00:07:14
is, so to speak, the
00:07:17
rough result of what many
00:07:19
places have in the catalogue, but I would
00:07:20
n't stop there, but of
00:07:22
course I'll first tell you a little
00:07:24
about how this came about
00:07:25
and what you've done with this data
00:07:28
It definitely had
00:07:30
this influence on the
00:07:32
astronomers and in jargon the 6
00:07:34
stand catalog is not called the Aryan catalog
00:07:36
but Gaia data release to also since the
00:07:40
second data release of Gaia
00:07:43
Gaia DDR2 is, so to speak, the key word
00:07:46
when you look at the position that we
00:07:48
measured in the sky applied to
00:07:50
a sky map and
00:07:52
we have such a sky map here both its
00:07:54
electrical representation you have a
00:07:56
hammer projection where the entire sky
00:07:58
is shown here we see the
00:08:00
stars of the plane of the Milky Way here where there are a
00:08:03
particularly large number of stars and
00:08:05
here we also see them Accompanying
00:08:06
galaxies of the Milky Way, the Large and
00:08:09
Small Magellanic Clouds and such
00:08:12
a map, you may have already
00:08:13
seen it yourself and thought, well,
00:08:15
what's special about it? What's
00:08:17
special is that this
00:08:19
isn't a photograph of the sky where you
00:08:20
simply
00:08:21
put together different images In order to have a large picture
00:08:23
of the Milky Way or the
00:08:25
entire sky, these are all
00:08:28
just stars,
00:08:29
which means that all the gas nebulae and
00:08:32
everything that drives me to a point are missing,
00:08:33
which means that here every point there is in
00:08:37
reality the star, this is the
00:08:38
distribution of the stars
00:08:39
Of course, you can see indirectly that there
00:08:42
are also gas clouds in meters of space
00:08:44
because there are such dark
00:08:46
structures that come
00:08:47
about because the light
00:08:49
is swallowed up by the stars that lie behind them, that
00:08:51
is, indirectly you can see that there are
00:08:53
fewer stars in certain
00:08:54
places In reality,
00:08:56
this is a map that really shows a
00:08:57
star map of 1.7 billion stars,
00:09:01
so of course this is
00:09:02
just the density distribution. You can't
00:09:03
see every stone individually,
00:09:04
but there is a version where you
00:09:06
can also zoom in so that you can see up to The
00:09:08
individual star comes later, but what I
00:09:11
want to show now is we have
00:09:12
a small program with which,
00:09:13
by the way, this initial animation
00:09:15
and most of the animations that I'm
00:09:17
now showing here were made, that
00:09:19
's called Gaia Sky, with which we
00:09:21
animated how The stars then
00:09:23
move so let's think about
00:09:27
this sky program that is
00:09:29
colored a little differently here
00:09:30
and if we look now
00:09:32
we see that the stars are moving
00:09:34
and the stars are all almost
00:09:37
moving and that is a movement
00:09:40
which is now about a million times
00:09:43
faster than the movement in
00:09:44
reality, which means a
00:09:46
big time lapse, so to speak, if you
00:09:48
could look that quickly then you can
00:09:50
see the individual stars moving
00:09:52
and that is something that Altwasser also
00:09:55
says about the stars from the movement
00:09:57
The stars can be
00:09:58
explained a little later about how our
00:10:00
Milky Way is structured and how it
00:10:02
came into being.
00:10:04
I will
00:10:05
go into certain things in a little more detail later if
00:10:07
you simply record the movement of the
00:10:09
individual stars, i.e. a line trace,
00:10:11
on the computer Then it looks like
00:10:14
this at first it looks pretty
00:10:16
chaotic or so that's the
00:10:18
movement within 800,000 years
00:10:21
how the place changes because sometimes there are a
00:10:22
lot of stars are like star clusters that
00:10:24
then move parallel across the
00:10:25
sky and that's so to speak the
00:10:28
lines recording the We have just
00:10:29
produced
00:10:31
for the seven million stars for which
00:10:34
we also have the movement of the stars towards us and
00:10:35
away from us. There is this
00:10:38
representation of the stars that are
00:10:41
moving away from us, which are colored reddish here
00:10:43
because the Doppler effect
00:10:45
is measured I don't want to
00:10:46
go into it in more detail now, for the experts
00:10:48
know that of course they are shifted in red
00:10:50
and the others that are
00:10:52
approaching us are shifted blue
00:10:54
and you can see that is spread over the sky
00:10:57
if you then subtract
00:11:00
the movement The sun is
00:11:02
much easier because now
00:11:04
the stars come towards us on one side
00:11:06
and away on the other side
00:11:07
because we observe with
00:11:09
Gaia of course because also with
00:11:11
the sun through the universe duty
00:11:13
through those around them
00:11:15
We observe the Milky Way from a carousel, so to speak,
00:11:16
and you actually have to
00:11:18
take this carousel off, so to speak, if
00:11:20
you want to do that exactly in order to get the
00:11:22
actual movement of the stars
00:11:25
and the goal is
00:11:27
of course to say something overall about the
00:11:29
Milky Way and the star system
00:11:31
as well We belong and these 1.7
00:11:34
billion stars sounds like a lot but the
00:11:37
Milky Way contains, we don't
00:11:39
even know, between 100 and 300
00:11:41
billion stars,
00:11:42
which means that it's always just a
00:11:44
sample, but from this sample
00:11:46
we want from this relatively
00:11:48
large sample Because something
00:11:49
close and about the Milky Way
00:11:52
itself with other galaxies it is
00:11:54
much easier to say what does
00:11:56
this galaxy look like because you take a
00:11:58
photo from above that most of
00:12:01
you who are
00:12:02
involved with astronomy with me know, of course
00:12:03
here in the 51st century This whirlpool nebula
00:12:07
or this this galaxy
00:12:09
you can clearly see these spiral arms spiral arm
00:12:13
are always the areas where young stars
00:12:15
are formed,
00:12:16
these are not necessarily more stars
00:12:19
than in the other areas but these
00:12:21
are particularly young, bright
00:12:22
stars and in between there are almost
00:12:25
exactly the same Many stars, perhaps ten
00:12:27
percent more in the spiral arms than
00:12:29
outside the spiral, this is something that
00:12:31
you may not even notice,
00:12:32
but essentially it will give you the location in the
00:12:35
spiral arms where
00:12:38
star formation takes place. You can see
00:12:40
exactly on these routes areas that are
00:12:41
the clouds in where
00:12:43
star formation takes place in order to
00:12:46
create our Milky Way.
00:12:49
You have to go there and do
00:12:52
n't know the distance because we have the
00:12:54
advantage of being very close to
00:12:56
the stars, but on the other hand we do
00:12:58
n't have the good perspective that we do So we
00:13:00
can look out from above and that's why
00:13:02
it's much
00:13:04
more difficult for us and we don't know
00:13:06
exactly what our Milky Way
00:13:07
looks like and it's not even very inaccurate,
00:13:08
so this picture, which
00:13:10
many of you may also know,
00:13:11
gives the actual impression
00:13:13
that it's all in white and that's
00:13:15
not the case at all, so the sun is
00:13:17
about here and here are the
00:13:19
different spiral arms here in the
00:13:21
middle you have this this production
00:13:23
this ball stars a bar in it which,
00:13:27
in contrast to this spiral galaxies, it's
00:13:30
round in the middle this production
00:13:32
that is So a bar spiral our
00:13:35
Milky Way you know that pretty well
00:13:36
but how true how these arms
00:13:40
position themselves exactly you only know that
00:13:42
if you also know the distance of the
00:13:43
stars because as we
00:13:45
saw before in the projection we
00:13:47
only see how they are Distribute stars in the sky
00:13:48
but in order to then create a
00:13:51
distribution in the sky
00:13:53
we need to know the distance of the
00:13:55
stars and that is of course one of the
00:13:56
reasons why you want to measure very precise distances with da
00:13:59
if you
00:14:02
want to briefly say what should you do
00:14:04
Then it's a very simple and
00:14:06
classic task. We want the
00:14:08
position, the movements, the distance
00:14:10
of a billion or more.
00:14:12
We have already measured more stars
00:14:14
and we simply take
00:14:16
all the stars up to a certain
00:14:18
brightness, i.e. up to a certain
00:14:21
size limit what you call it and the
00:14:23
specialists of them know what the
00:14:26
twentieth magnitude is. In reality,
00:14:28
it goes up to the 20.6 magnitude, which
00:14:31
is a candle about 20,000 kilometers
00:14:33
away.
00:14:34
These magnitudes. Well, the astronomers
00:14:37
are the most conservative
00:14:40
scientists ever when you think about it
00:14:42
A unit of measurement was invented in 150
00:14:45
BC by a Greek
00:14:48
astronomer who entered the brightness into
00:14:50
his star catalogue. The
00:14:52
brightest stars have the first size and the
00:14:53
weakest point has six greetings.
00:14:55
Then we still use that today,
00:14:57
so of course the system has
00:15:00
been expanded up and down The
00:15:01
twentieth magnitude class talks larger
00:15:04
this number is the weaker are the
00:15:05
stars and five magnitude classes are in
00:15:07
my factor 100 weaker, i.e. in the
00:15:10
star 15 the largest e.g. the one hundred times
00:15:13
brighter and stars up to the sixth magnitude you
00:15:16
can probably not get them in Rosenheim
00:15:18
But like the
00:15:20
fourth magnitude or something like that you can
00:15:22
see it here and if you have the opportunity to see something beautiful in the arch of the
00:15:24
Alps
00:15:27
or in the desert
00:15:29
then you can greet from there to the sixth
00:15:30
that you can see that only up
00:15:32
to one certain brightness and
00:15:34
one thing that is a bit negative with Galia,
00:15:39
we can't get the really bright stars because they are
00:15:40
overlooked. Our
00:15:41
instrument is so sensitive that
00:15:45
we can't measure the bright stars.
00:15:46
We then have to
00:15:47
resort to the data Of the predecessor
00:15:50
satellites that made measurements between 1987 and 1993, they
00:15:53
only
00:15:56
measured 100,000 stars,
00:15:57
but in the end they also
00:15:59
led to around 3,000 publications
00:16:08
The person who
00:16:11
invented the size classes made a catalog of stars under this star catalog, which was
00:16:13
later used by Chromeos
00:16:15
and published.
00:16:18
There were about 100,000 stars measured,
00:16:21
about 120 thousand stars, and with Gaia
00:16:24
we want to have the billion so
00:16:27
probably even more with a factor of 10 A thousand times
00:16:29
more than in the parking garage catalog and the
00:16:33
accuracy is increased by a factor of around 50
00:16:35
and as I said with the
00:16:37
Bright Star, we are unfortunately still
00:16:39
appropriately dependent on the data from
00:16:41
Demi Partners satellites, yes, but why do
00:16:45
we even want to know how far
00:16:47
away a star is I mean, I don't need to explain it to people who are
00:16:50
always interested in astronomy,
00:16:53
but you can
00:16:55
easily imagine how we
00:16:56
actually know that our sun is a star
00:16:58
or that the stars are something
00:17:00
like our sun is
00:17:01
a clue would be that they have approximately the
00:17:04
same luminosity if they
00:17:05
were at the same distance
00:17:07
shine equally brightly
00:17:08
certain year a star that is twice as
00:17:10
far has only a quarter of the
00:17:12
brightness, which means it decreases with the
00:17:14
square of the distance,
00:17:17
which means we can If we
00:17:18
know the distance, of course we can calculate
00:17:21
how bright the stars actually are
00:17:24
and we can then compare that with
00:17:26
the sun and so we can see
00:17:28
that the sun is a very typical star in terms
00:17:30
of brightness and that was
00:17:31
at least an indication that stars
00:17:34
and these Our sun are similar objects
00:17:36
or are the same objects. Today
00:17:39
we are of course dealing with much more
00:17:41
detailed questions. It is
00:17:43
precisely about understanding stars and
00:17:45
of course you have to know how much
00:17:46
energy is really given off by such a star
00:17:48
and of course we only know that
00:17:50
if We know its distance
00:17:52
because from the earth we measure how
00:17:53
much radiation reaches us and so that
00:17:56
we can calculate how much has gone away
00:17:57
we have to know the distance and
00:17:59
that is one of the main reasons for how to
00:18:02
measure if you are measuring the distance of
00:18:05
a star and this star Up there
00:18:08
if you open a book in astronomy
00:18:10
you can
00:18:12
find dozens of methods for measuring the distance of stars,
00:18:14
but there is only one
00:18:15
method that is relatively independent of
00:18:18
what assumptions we make about the stars
00:18:21
themselves and that is the metric
00:18:23
method that perhaps many You
00:18:25
also know that the parallax method
00:18:26
uses the fact that we walk around the sun with the earth
00:18:28
and thus divide a star
00:18:32
from different directions and
00:18:34
the maximum deflection here is called the
00:18:37
parallax angle, which comes about
00:18:39
because we are at a distance from the
00:18:41
sun of 150 million kilometers
00:18:43
and twice the parallax angle are
00:18:45
covered in half a year,
00:18:47
i.e. 300,000 kilometers and this means that
00:18:49
we see that the star shifts its direction a
00:18:52
little and this
00:18:54
shift is of course greater
00:18:56
the closer the star is and the smaller
00:18:58
the further away it is star is and this
00:19:00
measurement is of course in reality
00:19:03
completely exaggerated here
00:19:05
in reality the angles are
00:19:07
much smaller the data plays the role
00:19:08
and the first who measured such a parallax
00:19:11
he took advantage of that
00:19:13
and star when I look at it when I
00:19:15
and If you go in another direction when you walk around the sun,
00:19:19
that's Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel who
00:19:24
measured the first significant parallax of a star in 1838 and he
00:19:30
made these measurements with this instrument in Königsberg in East Prussia and then
00:19:33
found out that this parallax
00:19:34
angle is 0 .31 arc seconds is an
00:19:38
arc second is the 3600 part of an
00:19:41
angle degree, which is already very small
00:19:43
and so that the defense is not
00:19:45
left completely alone, I will
00:19:46
explain to him a little bit the
00:19:48
small angles that are what this
00:19:49
whole thing is about thing you can
00:19:52
calculate that the distance is eleven
00:19:54
light years that was a very precise
00:19:56
measurement and by the way this is the star
00:19:58
in the constellation here Spanish Albiol deneb
00:20:01
and here the wings of the swan is a
00:20:03
relatively inconspicuous star you
00:20:05
can imagine maybe
00:20:07
the experts know that Here's why
00:20:09
Bessel took this star of all things for
00:20:12
his parallax vests. He
00:20:13
also took other stars, but this was the
00:20:15
first time he made a measurement
00:20:17
that was credible.
00:20:19
How did he come to the conclusion that it might be
00:20:21
a star that was a little closer
00:20:23
than that Others that it wasn't moving particularly brightly,
00:20:25
that was exactly
00:20:27
the star because it had the greatest proper motion known at the time. You
00:20:31
saw an
00:20:33
animation of this Gaia data from me that the
00:20:36
stars were moving in the sky and at that time
00:20:38
that was the star where you could see them The
00:20:39
largest movement per year was measured in the
00:20:42
sky and that's why he thought it could be
00:20:44
particularly close and that's what it turned
00:20:46
out to be. The next
00:20:48
star is 43 light years away, that
00:20:50
their light is the next star but one of
00:20:52
the next stars in there
00:20:54
is and that's why Friedrich
00:20:56
Wilhelm Bessel took these measurements there
00:20:57
in order to make it clear to himself that the
00:21:00
small ones are actually the angles that have to
00:21:01
do with it. I want to
00:21:04
illustrate this a little bit, let's take
00:21:05
these people here, let's put
00:21:09
them 200 meters away typical
00:21:11
size 1 meter 75 and we measure
00:21:14
the angle between foot and head, so to speak,
00:21:16
then that is half a degree at a
00:21:20
distance of 200 meters that is or
00:21:23
angle diameter that the moon
00:21:24
or the sun also has in the sky if we
00:21:27
now this person now in 380
00:21:31
kilometer distance places because
00:21:33
that's what
00:21:34
the seconds are per second so the
00:21:36
3600 part of the angle is straight so it's
00:21:39
something that is very very small and
00:21:41
amateur astronomers who
00:21:42
work with telescopes for this arc
00:21:44
second something that corresponds to the
00:21:46
resolution of the telescope
00:21:47
and sees But then you see
00:21:50
the third of a second that corresponds to a
00:21:52
distance of 1000 kilometers and
00:21:54
this person is a small spelled that
00:21:55
Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel then
00:21:57
measured of course from several
00:21:59
many measurements that
00:22:01
he took for 3000 individual observations in order to
00:22:02
then create this parallax To
00:22:05
determine this, you have to make a lot of
00:22:06
measurements so that you end up with it.
00:22:08
Now let's go further by a factor of
00:22:10
1000. 380 x 1000 are 380,000. That's where
00:22:15
the moon is. That's one
00:22:19
millisecond, or thousandths of an arc
00:22:21
second, and that's about the
00:22:22
accuracy with the David Akers
00:22:24
satellites between 89 and 93
00:22:27
made his measurements so the
00:22:28
final positions the individual
00:22:30
measurements are always worse than those
00:22:32
in the catalog with an elbow second
00:22:35
so that is the typical accuracy
00:22:37
we had before Ghana and with Gaia
00:22:40
the target for stars is 15 of size
00:22:43
that are a bit brighter than
00:22:44
these very faintest stars to achieve an accuracy of 25
00:22:47
or 20 or 25 micro arcseconds
00:22:50
and that
00:22:52
corresponds to these people 15 million
00:22:55
kilometers away.
00:22:56
You can imagine that this
00:22:58
is an ambitious goal and we can
00:23:00
also see how far He
00:23:01
has already come up with this with this second
00:23:03
star catalog if we can do that then
00:23:07
that means that we can also
00:23:09
measure the distance of the stars very, very precisely
00:23:12
and have converted that
00:23:14
into light years
00:23:15
then we can
00:23:18
have an accuracy of 25 micro arcseconds
00:23:20
The distance of a star that is
00:23:22
130 light years away is measured with an
00:23:25
accuracy of one tenth of a percent
00:23:27
1 percent corresponding factor
00:23:30
10 further to 1300 light years 10 to 13
00:23:33
thousand light years our Milky Way
00:23:35
belongs to so that you still
00:23:36
have my ideas there has its typical
00:23:38
diameter of 100 thousand light years
00:23:40
So at greater distances
00:23:43
the data becomes more precise again,
00:23:44
of course you have to know that but it's
00:23:47
a huge advance of course that you can
00:23:48
make it with such precision so
00:23:51
now we want to make it clear what
00:23:52
this looks like with the parallax and
00:23:54
with the movements of the Stars,
00:23:56
we now want to
00:23:57
imagine that the parallaxes would
00:23:58
actually be a hundred thousand times larger
00:24:00
than they actually are. To do
00:24:01
this, I once again took our
00:24:03
computer program Gaia Sky, which is called by the way,
00:24:05
and moved a camera
00:24:09
around the computer, so to speak,
00:24:11
on the orbit around the sun ran which
00:24:13
is not 150 million kilometers but
00:24:15
is simply a hundred thousand times larger.
00:24:17
If you remove the stars or leave them the same
00:24:19
then you see the following. By the
00:24:22
way, if you look closely you will see the big dipper. There is the
00:24:24
polar star and
00:24:28
that is the movement that the stars
00:24:30
make Our movement around the
00:24:32
sun, these stars run back
00:24:35
and forth on these parallaxes, that is, the
00:24:36
big dipper, you can see that they are
00:24:38
about the same distance away and you will
00:24:41
also see the
00:24:43
constellations faded in here the little one
00:24:46
was the big bear here the Andromeda
00:24:50
and the perseus and so on and so
00:24:53
forth you see how the stars in the contract
00:24:55
then something else happens immediately
00:24:56
then we stop it for a moment and then
00:24:58
we let the stars run across the sky so
00:24:59
again
00:25:00
we show our own movement in an extremely distorted way
00:25:06
and you see The constellations
00:25:08
very quickly no longer have anything to do with
00:25:10
how they look today, so
00:25:11
constellations are something that only works for
00:25:14
a certain time in the sky.
00:25:16
Now I've cheated on them a
00:25:19
bit. I
00:25:20
said the stars make a
00:25:22
movement like that At the same time, I told him that
00:25:24
Friedrich had
00:25:25
chosen the star that
00:25:27
moves the fastest in the sky. So he
00:25:28
can't just make an ellipse
00:25:30
in the sky, but he has to
00:25:32
move across the sky at the same time, which means that he
00:25:33
removes such a loop
00:25:35
In reality that means a star that
00:25:37
runs from down here upwards and at
00:25:40
the same time it does this parallax
00:25:41
and the path together, that's how
00:25:43
the movement looks so composed.
00:25:46
In reality that's what it looks like such
00:25:48
movements that gala measures in the sky and
00:25:50
from which we then Both the
00:25:52
proper motion and the parallax
00:25:53
then came out and for the experts
00:25:56
what we need is in the catalog there are
00:25:59
five numbers for most stars plus
00:26:01
of course errors and
00:26:04
correlations and everything else you
00:26:05
need but for the star position
00:26:07
five data are important there is one The
00:26:10
position at the time of a certain
00:26:12
reference imports at a certain
00:26:14
time for the gala catalog 2 is
00:26:16
that the means of 2015 that is the
00:26:19
means of the measurement time because the
00:26:22
Gaia catalog second was created from
00:26:23
the first 22 months of the Gaia mission
00:26:27
so that is This position there, that's
00:26:32
true to us, is that there are angles in the sky,
00:26:34
that there's something similar to
00:26:35
geographical latitude and longitude on
00:26:37
earth. There's a coordinate system in the
00:26:39
sky that you take Recker's censoring and
00:26:41
declination and then I have a
00:26:43
movement in the sky So that means we
00:26:44
indicate how the coordinates of
00:26:47
recession and deflation change per year,
00:26:51
that gives us something in milly
00:26:53
arcseconds per year
00:26:54
and that's up here, that means we
00:26:57
have two angles there two angle
00:26:59
velocities and then the
00:27:00
parallax this one The effect here is that there
00:27:03
are five numbers that we distill for stars
00:27:05
at the end, so to speak, from all the
00:27:07
individual measurements,
00:27:09
which then go into this star catalog
00:27:12
at the end 15 so 5 billion numbers or
00:27:17
if we then have 2 billion stars
00:27:19
ten billion numbers,
00:27:20
that's so to speak But there are many,
00:27:23
many numbers added so that you can
00:27:24
interpret them correctly and so on
00:27:27
and so forth and so that you can do this measurement and now very
00:27:29
precisely, you have
00:27:31
n't put satellites into
00:27:33
an orbit directly around the earth like the savings course
00:27:35
but stores it, so to speak,
00:27:38
has the observation location in the bag, rank
00:27:41
point l2 here is the sun here is the
00:27:44
earth these
00:27:45
are the well-known 150 million
00:27:47
meters distance between earth and sun and
00:27:50
Trieste the moon's orbit is of course
00:27:52
not to scale and here is
00:27:54
the l second is a percent further away
00:27:56
than the distance to the sun and that is
00:27:59
an equilibrium point in the
00:28:00
rotating reference system of this L2 on it
00:28:03
I also want to go around the sun once a year so it
00:28:07
has the same angular velocity, so to speak, but
00:28:09
on an orbit that is 1 percent larger
00:28:11
and This is an equilibrium point where
00:28:14
you can imagine that the
00:28:16
attractive force of the sun and the earth
00:28:17
together, both pulling on the
00:28:19
other, is balanced out at this point.
00:28:23
I have that you have a slightly
00:28:24
larger centrifugal force and that has the
00:28:26
greatest force is greater if If you
00:28:27
are at a greater distance and that is,
00:28:30
so to speak, this L2 is the more unstable
00:28:33
if you put something in then
00:28:35
don't get it out again at some point, which
00:28:37
means we have to do maneuvers every month and every
00:28:39
two months at the moment so
00:28:41
that we stay there
00:28:42
otherwise we won't stay For a long time
00:28:45
now it's not quite right if we
00:28:48
were exactly L2 then the
00:28:50
earth would still almost completely
00:28:52
shade the sun. We don't want that.
00:28:53
We also want to have an energy supply
00:28:55
and we want to have the same
00:28:57
temperature. That's why it's
00:28:59
actually moving in Such an orbit
00:29:03
in all three spatial directions around the
00:29:05
sun
00:29:06
takes yes, yes, you can see it very small
00:29:08
here, of course, ultimately
00:29:09
enlarged here and it always takes
00:29:11
half a year to go from one direction to the
00:29:13
other
00:29:14
in all three spatial directions and that is
00:29:15
definitely a size of about 200,000
00:29:18
kilometers and that's scary, that
00:29:20
's realistic for the experts in
00:29:23
this field
00:29:37
Mission and that within the
00:29:42
first two weeks flew to
00:29:43
this L2 and then
00:29:46
moved into this orbit and by the
00:29:48
way started near Caen
00:29:51
in South America where these Russian
00:29:54
Soyuz rockets launch together with the in
00:29:56
collaboration with the ESA
00:29:58
and Here you can see above Gaia on top of that
00:30:03
of course the Gaia mission didn't start
00:30:05
with the start
00:30:07
there is a lot of work that has to be
00:30:09
done beforehand and the people who have been
00:30:11
in the project the longest sat down
00:30:13
right after the end of the hit
00:30:15
parking garage mission and have We
00:30:16
said we need something new, something
00:30:18
better, the next project and that's why
00:30:22
the first proposal for something
00:30:24
like this was back in May 1993 and at that time we were
00:30:32
thinking about a certain optical system that we would use an interferometer with which we
00:30:35
could measure angles particularly well in the sky
00:30:37
I wouldn't go into detail about the
00:30:38
measuring principle, but then it was
00:30:41
discovered that that's why it's called
00:30:43
Ghana, by the way, yes, that stands
00:30:44
for global entry metric interferometer
00:30:47
festival six global astro metric
00:30:50
center ferro meters for astrophysics
00:30:52
but then they thought about it The
00:30:56
actual limitation is not
00:30:58
this angular accuracy like the
00:31:00
amount of photons we get there,
00:31:02
but if we want to get to the L2 and it
00:31:05
was already clear back then that we had to go there
00:31:06
in order to have a stable stable
00:31:09
environment, which was also far away
00:31:11
from the earth the earth has a
00:31:12
modern gravitational field and the
00:31:15
infrared radiation from the earth is also
00:31:17
in homogeneous, that is, far away from the
00:31:19
earth it is good to make such measurements first
00:31:20
and then of course
00:31:22
you need to transfer the data to the earth
00:31:24
and that It doesn't work arbitrarily because
00:31:27
with Geiger, for example, you are not allowed to use a parabolic antenna.
00:31:30
You would always align it towards the earth
00:31:33
and as soon as you do that,
00:31:35
the moment of inertia of the satellite is completely
00:31:36
different, which means the measurement
00:31:38
is completely disturbed, which means it
00:31:40
only works with those phase-controlled
00:31:42
antennas that, so to speak, direct the directions
00:31:45
in a certain direction
00:31:47
electronically and you can
00:31:51
achieve the data transfer rates that we
00:31:53
achieve of around 8 megabits per
00:31:55
second, better than perhaps some
00:31:57
internet providers here in the country, but
00:32:00
at least they are 1.5 million kilometers
00:32:03
away That's a really good
00:32:04
thing with data compression and everything
00:32:06
we do there, but then we
00:32:08
realized that a conventional
00:32:09
telescope is actually the better
00:32:11
solution. We've
00:32:13
already gotten used to the name and that's why we've
00:32:15
kept the name
00:32:17
no acronym no more abbreviation gaal
00:32:19
just means cool, maybe it's
00:32:21
not that good after all because
00:32:23
we don't observe the earth with gaal
00:32:25
that the species belongs there and but now
00:32:28
the name was born at some point
00:32:29
and the thing is also called gaia
00:32:32
in In 2000, the project was
00:32:34
accepted by the ESA as the so-called
00:32:36
cornerstone of the mission.
00:32:38
Then, of course, the industrial phase began,
00:32:40
the exact construction, various
00:32:42
assessments up to the launch
00:32:45
and then there was a
00:32:48
phase where the
00:32:50
satellites appeared for half a year We checked thoroughly, we
00:32:52
looked carefully, we calibrated, we
00:32:55
checked whether everything was in order. We
00:32:57
also discovered a few problems
00:32:58
that were then solved quite well
00:33:01
and it was during this phase that
00:33:04
we were very heavily
00:33:06
involved in quality control in Heidelberg
00:33:07
because Namely, we have a program that
00:33:10
analyzes the data from Gaia every day
00:33:12
and checks whether it is OK. We
00:33:14
even do a small
00:33:15
astrometric solution every day with which you
00:33:18
can determine how good this
00:33:19
data is and the program runs. It's
00:33:24
a huge program with lots of them A
00:33:25
hundred thousand parts
00:33:27
that runs every day
00:33:30
in Spain and there they are
00:33:34
checked to see whether everything is in order
00:33:36
and when the fixed phase, as I said,
00:33:38
this data was of course particularly important
00:33:39
in order to understand the satellite and how it
00:33:41
behaves in reality
00:33:43
It's a matter of constructing the thing
00:33:45
and seeing how it
00:33:46
behaves in reality. Then
00:33:49
the regular measurements began in August 2014 and
00:33:52
then from the first eleven to thirteen
00:33:54
months there were a few gaps in it,
00:33:56
that's why I say eleven to 13 months
00:33:58
You then publish the first catalog that
00:34:01
Data Wiesmann published in September 2016,
00:34:05
which still has some
00:34:09
data from how the parking garage used for
00:34:11
its catalog and the parking garage
00:34:14
not only bit through these 100,000 stars
00:34:16
but was also
00:34:18
able to measure positions for
00:34:19
one and a half million stars using an auxiliary instrument
00:34:21
And because we have such a long
00:34:22
time base, we can get the
00:34:24
proper motion of these stars quite well
00:34:26
because from the eleven to
00:34:27
thirteen months we would
00:34:29
n't have been able to separate parallax and proper motion
00:34:31
and that's why we were able to create this
00:34:32
first catalog for 2 million
00:34:34
stars decision and self-movement
00:34:38
that means that was our appetite
00:34:40
and then we had it
00:34:42
but in a certain way the
00:34:45
catalog that we published this year in 2018
00:34:47
last year in
00:34:49
April is the first real gala catalog
00:34:51
no longer includes old data from
00:34:53
others devices will be used next
00:34:57
year. The
00:34:58
nominal western phase of five years will end in the middle of next year,
00:35:02
but we have found out that
00:35:05
from what we consume,
00:35:09
so to speak, from the
00:35:10
consumables that we have on board, we
00:35:15
can in principle measure it for another five years This is essentially
00:35:16
cold gas, cold gas nozzles with which the
00:35:19
satellite is aligned and that is
00:35:21
what is consumed first and
00:35:23
that would last for about another five years
00:35:25
and that would bring huge progress
00:35:27
in the accuracy, especially of its
00:35:29
own movement
00:35:32
So we hope that maybe at the
00:35:33
end we'll get ten years instead of five years, so
00:35:36
far we've got
00:35:39
another year and a half approved for another year and a half,
00:35:41
that means we'll
00:35:43
definitely
00:35:45
measure until the end of 2020 because everything is technically in order with Gaia and
00:35:49
then There will be another two years
00:35:50
and then another year and a half
00:35:53
until at some point the
00:35:55
cold gas is all gone and then, so to speak,
00:35:58
we would have the longest mission you
00:36:01
can have with it
00:36:02
in the first half of 2021, by the way, we
00:36:06
also want the next one The next
00:36:08
date is our next star catalogue,
00:36:11
there will be more strength
00:36:13
coming in again, there will be more radial
00:36:16
speeds in there,
00:36:18
above all, more precise systematic
00:36:20
errors will become smaller, which are
00:36:23
still in this catalogue, and then
00:36:26
the fourth catalog will be published at some point in 2023
00:36:32
Due to the nominal missions,
00:36:33
so to speak, we will publish all the objects that we
00:36:37
want to publish
00:36:39
and then at some point there will be another update for the
00:36:40
extended mission.
00:36:42
That is, so to speak,
00:36:43
the planning for the future. You see,
00:36:46
it is a certain period of time and I
00:36:48
have only been there since 2004 In the Gaia project, but
00:36:50
some people have been
00:36:52
working on this project with us since 1993.
00:36:55
For the experts, what is
00:36:59
actually how it is set up up
00:37:01
there in this part above
00:37:04
the parasol,
00:37:05
this goalless is
00:37:08
actually located there Isn't that a gate but
00:37:10
a bit in the square and this
00:37:12
one that is made of silicon chapter
00:37:15
material which is solid is very light
00:37:18
and is very stable and then there are
00:37:22
a lot of mirrors in here which are
00:37:23
the two reflecting telescopes on
00:37:26
board at gala By the way, they are also
00:37:27
made of silicon carbide, they are
00:37:29
naturally mirrored on the surface
00:37:31
and down here is the local level that
00:37:34
the actual camera consists of 106 ccd
00:37:36
detectors and if you
00:37:38
add up the pixels we have almost all of the
00:37:40
gigapixel cameras at the moment
00:37:42
The space camera with the largest
00:37:44
number of pixels and the various mirrors
00:37:46
are there to create a telescope with a
00:37:48
focal length of around 35 meters
00:37:51
and both telescopes that look in two
00:37:53
different directions
00:37:55
combine their light in a
00:37:57
common plane, which means we
00:38:00
measure two directions at the
00:38:01
same time, so to speak once you look in this direction
00:38:03
that one discourse is this
00:38:04
main mirror 1 you look there and the
00:38:07
other looks in a direction that is 106
00:38:09
one and a half degrees different in the sky, that
00:38:12
means I look that way once about that
00:38:14
way and with that I can
00:38:18
not only take measurements in a field of view
00:38:20
that a telescope has but is also
00:38:22
large-scale measurements that is the
00:38:24
advantage of the two telescopes
00:38:26
that has another advantage that is
00:38:27
a little more difficult to understand
00:38:29
that if this angle
00:38:31
is really exactly stable you can also find the zero point of
00:38:32
the parallax determine from the data
00:38:34
but I only want to do that now
00:38:36
if you ask me about it try to
00:38:39
explain it's not that easy
00:38:41
35 meters break more and each of
00:38:43
these mirrors has a meter 45 x
00:38:45
50 centimeter opening here is a
00:38:47
rectangular mirror not like your
00:38:49
telescope Mirrors at home or here in
00:38:51
the observatory have the round mirror,
00:38:53
it's not because the main
00:38:55
resolution is in the scan direction when
00:38:58
the Gaia thing is rotating around its own
00:39:00
axis, the stars run over the over the
00:39:02
over the over the over the detectors and we
00:39:05
mainly have measurement in the
00:39:07
direction of rotation and that's why we make the
00:39:09
mirroring of the direction larger than in the
00:39:11
other, this is simply an optimization
00:39:12
so that my weight saves, so now
00:39:15
let's look at each other in an animation from the esa,
00:39:16
this is exceptionally not done with the
00:39:18
Kayak Sky program, we have
00:39:20
the two directions are 106.5 degrees
00:39:22
apart and look at stars here
00:39:24
from the field of vision, they are
00:39:26
colored turquoise here and then magenta here,
00:39:29
the others have stars from the other
00:39:32
field of vision and the
00:39:34
ccds are set up down here and then you can see
00:39:37
them straight away Stars are now wandering over them, they
00:39:38
come from one field of vision, these are
00:39:40
these turquoise ones and here they are
00:39:43
together in a local plane and in
00:39:46
these two stripes you can
00:39:47
see them, by the way, you only see the ones
00:39:48
from the field of vision and from the other
00:39:50
so that you can see them here too You can construct
00:39:51
from which direction the star
00:39:53
was then measured.
00:39:54
By the way, these two are
00:39:57
here these photometers where the blue one
00:39:59
threatens
00:40:00
brightness is measured. To be more precise,
00:40:01
a small spectrum is measured
00:40:03
with which you can measure the energy distribution of the
00:40:05
stars and this is where
00:40:07
the world is located The Doppler
00:40:08
measurements were made with the display to
00:40:10
find out whether the star is coming towards us
00:40:12
or away from us and what
00:40:14
is the actual measurement quantity. You
00:40:17
can see that the images of the stars
00:40:19
move over the local plane and depending on
00:40:23
where a star is located, this runs over the
00:40:26
local level at another
00:40:27
different point in time that means what
00:40:29
we actually do is that we determine the
00:40:30
center of these images of the stars
00:40:33
centro idea is what this is called and
00:40:35
next to the atomic clock to say exactly when
00:40:37
is the star where in the local level
00:40:39
and we have to get out of that Where
00:40:42
the star is in the sky is the
00:40:45
transit instrument. Do you
00:40:46
know a bit about astronomy? There are
00:40:48
these median circles.
00:40:52
Look when does death run through
00:40:53
the meridians in a southerly direction.
00:40:55
But they have a fixed direction. If they were
00:40:57
the direction here It's constantly changing and
00:41:00
that's one of the problems, by the way,
00:41:01
how can it be done that you can
00:41:05
somehow
00:41:07
figure out the star position from such measurements? Damn,
00:41:08
if I
00:41:11
want to use it to measure the star position very precisely then
00:41:12
I have to know where it comes from actually
00:41:13
a telescope at any time and
00:41:20
you have to know the geometry of such a measuring instrument exactly because
00:41:22
otherwise it is completely pointless. Now
00:41:26
you can make any effort on the
00:41:29
ground to determine how the geometry
00:41:30
of my telescope of my
00:41:32
measuring instrument helps Nothing happens after
00:41:33
the start, everything is different anyway and
00:41:36
the ccds, of course they were
00:41:38
put on there by people, they are
00:41:39
perhaps a bit offset from
00:41:40
the position where they are supposed to
00:41:42
be, a bit twisted or
00:41:43
distorted. How do I find
00:41:46
out what the damn thing is? The instrument is
00:41:49
kuka at any time,
00:41:51
the very smart ones from your car,
00:41:52
maybe I don't know about
00:41:55
satellites, they all have
00:41:57
tractors on board that compare
00:41:59
star positions, so to speak, and tell me
00:42:01
where I'm going,
00:42:02
but they do that with an
00:42:03
accuracy of maybe six seven
00:42:05
eight arc seconds
00:42:07
but we want to get a micro arc seconds
00:42:09
yes how do you do that
00:42:12
that's in the end I'm home
00:42:14
is the one who was also known for
00:42:17
pulling himself out of the swamp with his own head so that's
00:42:20
a bit of the picture you I have to
00:42:21
use the Gaia data myself to not
00:42:25
only measure the position of the stars
00:42:27
but also to answer the question of where am
00:42:29
I looking at every moment and
00:42:31
what is my telescope like? This is the
00:42:32
geometry of my telescope. By the way, this can
00:42:34
change a little every day Geometry It does that
00:42:36
too, which
00:42:38
means we also have to get five
00:42:40
sizes per star out of our data
00:42:42
and a few tools,
00:42:44
which are much less
00:42:46
than we need for the stars.
00:42:47
In the end, the stars connect, so to speak,
00:42:50
everything from the whole but the whole
00:42:52
calibration Is this effect, it's
00:42:56
also an art that makes Gaia exciting,
00:42:58
you really have to say there's a
00:43:00
lot of math involved in
00:43:02
getting it out and it's
00:43:05
not finished yet. Our star catalog contains
00:43:07
even more systematic errors that
00:43:09
are larger than they should be in the final catalog
00:43:10
And so there's still a lot of
00:43:12
brainpower to get more
00:43:15
calibration out of the data, so to speak,
00:43:17
and that's been
00:43:20
quite successful because if we
00:43:24
look at the second star catalog and its accuracy then
00:43:27
we're actually pretty good
00:43:29
plotted here on the
00:43:31
y-axis is the accuracy of the parallaxes
00:43:34
in billy arc seconds, which by the way is the
00:43:38
logarithmic size here, so here is
00:43:40
a millisecond,
00:43:42
which is a tenth because it is a hundredth, which
00:43:43
means this is a logarithmic
00:43:45
size where nothing is not linear
00:43:47
but always jumps from factor 10 from
00:43:50
there to there and this is the
00:43:52
brightness of the stars, that means the very
00:43:55
bright stars are here and the
00:43:57
weaker stars are there and now
00:43:59
let's look at where the data from
00:44:01
the parking garage satellites are, these are
00:44:02
the green ones here lie up there you
00:44:05
can see that it typically takes a
00:44:06
millisecond, some are a
00:44:08
little better but above all I can
00:44:11
measure the parking garage a little brighter stars that they are the ones on the left, you ca
00:44:14
n't get behind them
00:44:17
As soon as the third
00:44:19
magnitude is approximately at there, yes,
00:44:22
we don't have the weaker and star,
00:44:23
unfortunately, then here we have the
00:44:25
status catalog 1, the two million
00:44:27
stars that we published in September 2016
00:44:30
and they were already around
00:44:32
0.37 seconds
00:44:36
a factor of 3 better than the parking garage
00:44:38
and for 20 times more stars
00:44:40
that's what's special and then here is
00:44:43
the data for the ndr 2 do
00:44:47
n't be surprised that there are a lot of stars here too,
00:44:49
well four inaccurate ones are the yellow ones that
00:44:51
they now have quite a few Stars the majority
00:44:53
of the stars are there it was
00:44:54
represented here in this purple color and then let's
00:44:58
see what the best stars
00:45:00
are, i.e. the ones that are particularly far down
00:45:02
and here we are at 13 the size
00:45:05
of about 30 microbes seconds
00:45:09
225 we want to go there
00:45:11
However, we still have systematic
00:45:13
errors that are about the same size,
00:45:15
so that's what you have to
00:45:16
put together.
00:45:17
We want to get them down by a factor of ten,
00:45:18
hopefully by the
00:45:20
time we get to the final catalog. There's something
00:45:22
special there and that's
00:45:24
the prediction for five years of measurement time
00:45:27
and that took 14 years of measurement time for
00:45:29
the parallax we will only gain a factor
00:45:32
at twice the best time of
00:45:34
root two 1.4 gain in the
00:45:37
self-motion we will gain the accuracy
00:45:39
by facts fast factor 8 because
00:45:41
there is with the one and a half power for
00:45:43
that Experts so that we have
00:45:46
a big, big advantage,
00:45:47
that means we already have very, very
00:45:49
good data and these extremely precise
00:45:52
data that ensure that
00:45:54
astronomers have
00:45:55
been able to do some really great science with this data.
00:45:57
Now let's take a look at where we stand
00:45:59
Today we
00:46:00
have collected the data,
00:46:03
of course not all of it has been
00:46:04
included in the catalog.
00:46:05
Today we are in day 1629 of the
00:46:08
nominal mission. Today we are so far
00:46:11
more than 1.5 million kilometers
00:46:14
away from Earth and we
00:46:18
have more than 1, 1 million
00:46:24
measurement astro metric measurement made
00:46:27
that in real billionaire 1.1
00:46:29
million us then here for example
00:46:32
measurement from the radial velocity
00:46:35
instrument that is seven billion
00:46:36
here for example that can be so
00:46:38
every day you can
00:46:39
look up these
00:46:41
updated numbers on the esa website And with this
00:46:44
star catalog, publications have been made since April 25,
00:46:49
2018 and I
00:46:52
counted it again yesterday, so
00:46:54
this time was actually from yesterday.
00:46:56
There are 887 publications that have used the things
00:46:58
catalog,
00:47:00
that's 3.4 publications every
00:47:04
day and that's what it has as far as I know
00:47:07
never done before in a project, so with the
00:47:10
Hubble Space Telescope you have certainly had
00:47:11
the most publications. This is
00:47:13
one of the instruments that is of course
00:47:14
special, but he loves this
00:47:16
short period of time, not sure that
00:47:18
Hubble Space Telescope didn't do this
00:47:20
and these are the
00:47:22
subject areas of the work and that is
00:47:25
certainly not completely what has been
00:47:28
contributed and just pick
00:47:31
out an area you will
00:47:32
probably find in this list
00:47:34
and as you see the special thing about
00:47:38
the mission is that it is the basis
00:47:40
for practically all areas of choice
00:47:43
astrophysics and not so much an
00:47:45
instrument that gives us an answer
00:47:47
or wants to observe a certain type of
00:47:49
stars or wants to
00:47:50
look at a certain wavelength range
00:47:53
and you can of course get the individual papers
00:47:56
if you click on this link,
00:47:57
but yes, that's
00:47:59
how it is Before we get to the
00:48:01
science, let's do
00:48:03
a little bit between entertainment, a
00:48:06
little flight through the Ghana catalog
00:48:09
again with Gaia Sky, of course, we're
00:48:15
starting in Europe, it's a
00:48:17
European satellite, an
00:48:18
excellent European
00:48:21
collaboration. Everyone you
00:48:23
see here dies, the very bright ones There are parks from here
00:48:25
that are weaker, Gaia stars,
00:48:27
it wobbles a bit, that's not because
00:48:29
my notebook is about 56
00:48:32
years old, that I have a new one, then
00:48:34
it doesn't wobble anymore, that there's
00:48:36
a little video that we produced with it
00:48:37
and now we're flying for a
00:48:39
moment Access first of all, that
00:48:41
means our trip begins with
00:48:43
us just one and a half million kilometers
00:48:44
from the earth looking at the satellite
00:48:47
and that is again that we
00:48:48
look something like what we
00:48:49
had at the beginning, we look from behind at
00:48:52
our ten meter diameter parasol
00:48:54
We have now turned on the time
00:48:55
a little bit
00:48:58
so that we can see something at all and now
00:48:59
we will
00:49:01
fly around a bit. By the way, in the background we can
00:49:03
now see the stars of the
00:49:04
Milky Way. As usual, you can see 10
00:49:05
o'clock and here the thread and 14 7
00:49:09
billion and Now you look at
00:49:11
it, his team has an
00:49:12
acceleration again, let's look at a year
00:49:13
of measurements of the ghost satellites of
00:49:17
the NASA satellite of course not
00:49:18
only have to go in one direction but also does
00:49:21
a scanning position with which it
00:49:22
scans the sky but always 45 degrees to the
00:49:25
sun remains that that's the sun,
00:49:28
by the way, it passed next to Angela,
00:49:30
which means we walk around
00:49:32
and look but at least one
00:49:33
direction so that you can see it, so to speak,
00:49:35
such a movement makes there over the
00:49:37
course of a year,
00:49:38
by the way, mom is just passing by there
00:49:40
Above, yes and now let's swing
00:49:45
in the direction of the higher ones and we
00:49:48
want the hurdles are a
00:49:49
star cluster and here we have
00:49:50
drawn all the star clusters that we
00:49:51
know so far. The star clusters are
00:49:53
groups of stars that were
00:49:55
born together. Now the straight ones also get
00:49:56
to and The old baran, which wasn't even part
00:49:58
of it, didn't just fly past us in front of the listeners
00:50:02
and here comes the star cluster of the
00:50:04
Pleiades that you can see, you're also
00:50:07
theirs, it looks a bit strange, it does
00:50:08
n't look the same as it did
00:50:10
before You still have the Pleiades
00:50:11
a little further away and now
00:50:13
let's spin this star cluster so
00:50:16
you can see a bit of the
00:50:17
three-dimensionality of the whole thing and
00:50:20
a star cluster like that means these stars
00:50:23
in a star cluster
00:50:24
emerged together from a molecule cloud and
00:50:27
have many things in common
00:50:29
Many have properties that are similar in chemical
00:50:30
composition,
00:50:32
they have similar things, age because they were
00:50:34
born together and they
00:50:36
also move in the same
00:50:38
direction, unlike the other stars,
00:50:39
they move together in the
00:50:40
direction that had these molecular clouds
00:50:42
and we'll show that Here I used
00:50:44
a file to clean up the stars that
00:50:46
belong to it, they all run in this
00:50:47
direction and others
00:50:48
in a different direction. Now I have a
00:50:49
million time lapses again,
00:50:52
so you can now see how the stars all
00:50:54
run in one direction and other
00:50:57
stars that run otherwise do that
00:50:58
can you identify which stars
00:51:00
and actually star clusters belong to it
00:51:01
then we have to look which ones
00:51:03
are running in the same direction
00:51:04
first against Mettmann and dedication on the
00:51:06
computer the time goes back again then
00:51:08
we are back to today and now
00:51:10
we are backwards from the star
00:51:11
catalog like this Now we let the
00:51:16
old monitor lizard pass by again
00:51:19
then the sun comes by and we
00:51:21
now fly backwards out of the star
00:51:23
catalog out of the many hundreds of
00:51:26
millions of stars and now we have
00:51:29
only faded once a picture of our
00:51:31
Milky Way. Now that's a bit
00:51:33
fake because we I don't
00:51:34
know exactly yet,
00:51:35
but that should roughly say
00:51:37
where Gaal is in there, by the way,
00:51:39
if you're interested in this program,
00:51:40
even Sky, it's available for
00:51:43
Windows, it's available for Max, it's available for Linux, you can
00:51:46
download it here
00:51:48
and do it yourself
00:51:50
Make a little virtual flight through our
00:51:52
Milky Way and for people who
00:51:55
have windows and have VR glasses, you
00:51:57
can even have a VR like that.
00:52:00
We can look at you in every direction
00:52:01
in the sky and make virtual flights
00:52:04
through the galaxy
00:52:06
Colleague of this
00:52:08
Christa who works in my team is
00:52:11
that he is really a master of his
00:52:12
field when it comes to visualization. He
00:52:14
developed this program with
00:52:17
my support but the whole
00:52:18
program is his work and the knowledge that
00:52:20
how to do it comes from him
00:52:23
and that can I would really
00:52:25
recommend it to anyone who has a little bit of interest
00:52:27
in something like this, so that if you do
00:52:28
n't see any advertising,
00:52:30
the data has been scientifically
00:52:32
analyzed in between, then you also have to check
00:52:34
that we also have the colors of the stars.
00:52:37
Here we only have them 50,000 Gaia
00:52:39
stars that have had
00:52:40
different colors for ten years. By the way, these are
00:52:42
colors that were also measured by Gaia
00:52:44
and we will now sort them from blue
00:52:46
to red. On the left there will be the blue
00:52:49
stars, on the right the red ones and then
00:52:52
we will sort in another
00:52:53
direction the luminosity
00:52:54
the luminosity is not just the
00:52:56
brightness dj am is
00:52:58
distance is of course
00:52:59
taken into account so that we know the
00:53:01
star is really bright so the
00:53:02
distance is included for information purposes and
00:53:05
then a diagram is formed that
00:53:07
my heart of russell calls a diagram and
00:53:10
here you can see that there are many stars
00:53:12
on this so-called main sequence,
00:53:13
these are stars like our sun that
00:53:17
burn hydrogen into helium in the middle, here are the ones that
00:53:19
become red giants, up there are the ones that
00:53:21
burn helium in the center and here
00:53:23
and are white ones dwarves that
00:53:25
look like stars in the star and those
00:53:26
in between are in bloom and that is, by the way,
00:53:29
we heard it from the
00:53:31
Junkers that this is something that
00:53:33
I have been dealing with for a long time
00:53:35
with white dwarves and that's why
00:53:37
Not even to tell
00:53:38
a little something about it with white dwarfs, but
00:53:42
paint the diagram a little differently then it looks like this,
00:53:44
here we have the
00:53:47
color on the left is blue, on the right is red. By the
00:53:50
way, up there are the
00:53:51
surface temperatures that go with it
00:53:52
and the spectral types for the experts
00:53:55
and here is the absolute brightness i.e.
00:53:57
what the brightness of the stars really
00:54:00
is taking the
00:54:01
distance into account i.e. bright stars are
00:54:03
up here weak stars are
00:54:05
down here blue stars so hot stars
00:54:08
are the smaller stars on the left and right
00:54:12
have surface temperature and
00:54:14
here are, as I said, the stars that
00:54:15
are like our sun,
00:54:17
here are stars that are no longer
00:54:20
burning in the center of the hydrogen
00:54:22
and here are these clumps of it up there, these
00:54:24
are stars that are
00:54:26
burning helium in the center that there is
00:54:28
such a thing the later phases in the
00:54:30
development of a star and these
00:54:32
are the white dwarfs if we
00:54:34
now travel over them into the white
00:54:36
dwarfs because if you look closely you will see
00:54:39
that there are actually two
00:54:40
sequences here and there and this
00:54:44
splitting has something This has to do
00:54:46
with the surface composition up
00:54:49
there, there are those that have hydrogen from the
00:54:50
surface and those that
00:54:52
have helium, but if you look at the models that you
00:54:54
have before, then according to
00:54:57
the models this split is much
00:54:58
smaller than we observe, by the way
00:55:00
You've never observed this
00:55:01
split before, you can only observe it
00:55:03
because of the range finder and
00:55:05
that we now have with Gaia,
00:55:07
otherwise we would never have been able to see this,
00:55:08
this detail and this
00:55:11
split is larger than it
00:55:13
was in the models and you also have it
00:55:15
a good idea why this is the
00:55:18
objects that are in there
00:55:20
probably have even heavier elements
00:55:21
in them which then
00:55:24
lead to this shift
00:55:25
I don't want to discuss this in detail now,
00:55:27
in any case you can
00:55:29
indirectly tell
00:55:31
something about them through this size of the split You
00:55:33
can see chemical composition on the surface
00:55:35
that you could never have seen spectroscopically alone,
00:55:38
so spectrum
00:55:40
you don't see any lines from these elements.
00:55:42
Nevertheless, through this splitting you can
00:55:44
indirectly say something about the
00:55:45
amount of heavier elements in these
00:55:48
objects. The
00:55:50
nice thing is that we can do a lot with Gaia
00:55:52
have discovered white dwarves,
00:55:54
so far we knew 30,000 white dwarfs
00:55:57
and now we know 260,000 with white with
00:56:00
Gaia. By the way, I am involved in the
00:56:01
helper who identified these white dwarfs
00:56:03
and that is in the sky,
00:56:06
which now only consists of white dwarfs.
00:56:07
I have it now Everything
00:56:09
else, all the other stars are blinded away,
00:56:10
by the way, Sirius but Sirius B, the
00:56:13
companion who is so bright here and now
00:56:16
you can also see the stars
00:56:17
and the white dwarfs are moving.
00:56:19
Now I have once again
00:56:20
done exactly what I did with the normal
00:56:21
stars the movement
00:56:22
is switched on, which means
00:56:25
you can also see their movements. By
00:56:26
the way, here is a little bit here you
00:56:27
can see small shadows in the center of the
00:56:29
galaxy, we can't in the
00:56:30
area we have them star densities so
00:56:32
high that you're missing objects that
00:56:34
are actually there and then If you have
00:56:38
looked at some of these white dwarfs and measured their speed, you
00:56:40
have found that some
00:56:41
of them are extremely fast. Our sun
00:56:44
moves around the galactic
00:56:46
center at around 220,240 kilometers per
00:56:50
second and there are these and three white dwarfs
00:56:53
that move with it move more than 1000
00:56:55
kilometers per second and one
00:56:58
of them moves at almost 2000 kilometers per
00:57:00
second
00:57:01
and you have an idea that this has
00:57:04
become so fast and that is the
00:57:05
following: it is assumed that these
00:57:09
white dwarfs, these three originally
00:57:11
formed a pair with each other
00:57:13
So in reality there were
00:57:15
six white dwarfs that formed twice and
00:57:17
were so close
00:57:19
together that they
00:57:20
orbited each other very quickly and now one
00:57:25
of the masses passed on to
00:57:27
this star because they were so close and
00:57:30
it was one has had its day a bit
00:57:32
and it has become even closer for us
00:57:34
and then one of them exploded in a
00:57:36
supernova. Now the path is
00:57:39
the partners who previously
00:57:41
circled each other through their gravity and each other,
00:57:43
what happens the same thing happens when
00:57:45
you have them on one
00:57:47
Throw the string around or and the rope breaks
00:57:49
because the force is gone, so to speak,
00:57:51
the ball goes tangentially away and
00:57:54
that happens to the white dwarf, which
00:57:55
then also has the speed of
00:57:57
1000 or 2000 kilometers per second that
00:57:59
it previously had as an orbital
00:58:00
speed and the beautiful thing is
00:58:03
on one of these objects because you can
00:58:06
calculate that it is
00:58:08
currently standing here in this place
00:58:10
and that is the movement in the future
00:58:13
and that is the movement 90,000 years into
00:58:17
the past and there is the supernova remnant, i.e.
00:58:20
an explosion cloud Such a
00:58:22
supernova, that means it really comes
00:58:24
from his area and it shows that
00:58:26
this picture is probably consistent.
00:58:28
This is one of the results that has
00:58:30
a bit to do with white dwarfs.
00:58:31
Not only can you look at our own galaxy,
00:58:35
but also our
00:58:37
neighboring galaxies
00:58:38
Maybe you saw in his picture
00:58:39
that our neighbors had the large and
00:58:41
small Magellanic clouds in there,
00:58:43
they are so far away that we
00:58:46
can no longer measure the parallax, they are
00:58:48
simply because the parallax is no longer
00:58:50
significant,
00:58:51
but the movement is still there Significantly,
00:58:53
that means we know how
00:58:55
the stars move and in the Gaia data
00:58:57
release 1 2016, one day after
00:59:02
the data archives were opened, this paper
00:59:04
was published where they are with 28 stars
00:59:07
that are in the 28 of these two
00:59:09
million places for which we see the
00:59:10
movement and the practices have measured,
00:59:13
as I said, these in
00:59:14
significant you can see that you are
00:59:17
obviously moving in this direction
00:59:21
28 stars
00:59:23
now we have the 2 there we have
00:59:26
eight million stars in the
00:59:29
Marian people whose movements we
00:59:31
can study in detail and
00:59:33
we simulated that too,
00:59:35
they just let it run straight ahead
00:59:36
and for two million
00:59:41
years and then you see how
00:59:43
this diesel road slowly turns a little bit
00:59:54
Now you
00:59:56
can study in detail how the
00:59:58
stars move in the Marian cloud.
01:00:00
After
01:00:01
closing it, you can see how many stars are there,
01:00:02
how much dark matter is in there, these
01:00:05
are all things that you
01:00:06
can conclude at some point, there are
01:00:07
no definitive ones yet Results
01:00:08
but they indicate what kind of
01:00:11
perspective the whole thing has and you can
01:00:13
even measure the movements, for example of
01:00:16
the Andromeda Nebula or M33 of
01:00:19
our two large my neighbor
01:00:20
galaxies. You can see the rotation
01:00:23
here but you can also see at
01:00:26
what tangential speed that
01:00:28
move in the sky and that is
01:00:30
very crucial for the Andromeda Galaxy
01:00:32
because it will come towards us in about three
01:00:33
billion years and
01:00:36
collide with our Milky Way.
01:00:38
Now we know that
01:00:41
from measurements of the Doppler effect.
01:00:43
You can also do that Make the apartment quite good,
01:00:44
but you want to know how far
01:00:47
it runs past Mühlstrasse.
01:00:49
To do this, we need to know what the
01:00:50
tangential speed is, not
01:00:51
just the one coming towards you, but how fast
01:00:53
it will pass us and that's what
01:00:56
you have now with Gaia Values ​​in the catalog
01:00:59
are not yet that precise 57
01:01:01
kilometers per second but the error
01:01:02
is still 30 kilometers per
01:01:04
second so 50% error but once
01:01:07
we have sat for ten years
01:01:09
then only 1 2 kilometers per
01:01:11
second will remain of it So it will be possible to make
01:01:13
a highly accurate statement about
01:01:16
how the Andromeda Nebula will approach
01:01:18
our Milky Way at some point
01:01:20
and be thrown around again into the stars
01:01:23
in the Milky Way. By
01:01:25
the way, what we
01:01:26
have now measured with Gaia is no longer true,
01:01:27
but that is only in a few billion times
01:01:30
years, important when things get really big,
01:01:34
the expansion speed
01:01:37
of our universe is determined
01:01:38
by this so-called Hubble constant.
01:01:40
You have probably heard of it before.
01:01:43
This indicates how quickly stars
01:01:46
move away from us when they are at a
01:01:47
certain distance.
01:01:49
You have to do this You can't measure the distance from other
01:01:51
galaxies
01:01:52
with anything, but with Gaia
01:01:56
you can calibrate the objects you use for this
01:01:58
measurement. You
01:02:01
use a certain type
01:02:03
of variable star, so-called
01:02:04
satisfied,
01:02:05
that have a change in light, that
01:02:07
get bigger over time
01:02:09
They become smaller again and then
01:02:11
larger again and very regularly and the
01:02:15
light curve the values ​​are is the cdu
01:02:16
from they become brighter like the dark the
01:02:18
brighter darker again and this is a very
01:02:20
periodic process that for some
01:02:22
stars dies it lasts a few days
01:02:25
and some for one a few hundred
01:02:27
days and the longer this period is,
01:02:30
the brighter these stars are, which
01:02:32
gives a period of brightness
01:02:35
bz, by the way, by this lady Henrietta
01:02:38
Horn limit, which was determined on the stars in the
01:02:41
Large Magellanic Cloud at the beginning of the
01:02:44
twentieth century
01:02:47
and this method works But
01:02:52
only if we can, so to speak, convert this period into
01:02:54
a luminosity
01:02:57
and this in turn can be converted into a distance
01:02:59
and to do this we need to
01:03:02
know as many C4s as possible in our Milky Way in order to
01:03:04
precisely calibrate this relationship with which we can get
01:03:06
this hubble constant again this
01:03:08
design speed of the
01:03:09
The universe certainly can
01:03:11
do that and has now come
01:03:14
to a value of 73.5 2 km per second
01:03:18
per megaparsec plus minus 1.62 is
01:03:21
a relatively small error there
01:03:23
is still in it and that is from a paper here by
01:03:25
Adam Ries and others Reese is a
01:03:28
Nobel Prize winner who
01:03:33
received the Nobel Prize alongside two others for
01:03:35
finding out that the universe is
01:03:37
expanding at an accelerated rate and he has
01:03:40
the Gal measurements in addition to the measurements
01:03:42
from the HP space telescope, but
01:03:44
the accuracy here is
01:03:46
really the Gaia measurements
01:03:47
Having made the error so small it comes
01:03:50
to this value and then now
01:03:52
the three take the small
01:03:54
problem with other methods you come
01:03:57
to a different value the Planck satellite
01:04:04
measured this background radiation this microwave background radiation
01:04:05
and if you have the models for what If
01:04:08
you take the extent of the universe
01:04:10
into account then you can calculate what
01:04:13
today's Hubble constant is and
01:04:15
you get 67.4 kilometers per second. There
01:04:18
would be an even smaller error of 0.5
01:04:20
kilometers per second and these two
01:04:23
values ​​were significantly different from each other
01:04:26
is to do
01:04:29
it may be that one of these
01:04:32
two methods still has a methodological error
01:04:34
kind of that is that it is perhaps the
01:04:37
most likely explanation which one
01:04:39
we don't know yet,
01:04:41
we really don't know or maybe
01:04:43
the new physics behind it that one
01:04:45
can conclude from this discrepancy because
01:04:46
that what we are observing here because he is in
01:04:49
the microwave the reason we see
01:04:51
the universe as it was 380,000 years after
01:04:53
the Big Bang and with with with Gaia and
01:04:56
what we see today we only see
01:04:58
the present so to speak or just a
01:05:00
little bit into the past and that
01:05:03
They are so close to each other
01:05:04
is a good
01:05:06
confirmation, but this discrepancy is
01:05:08
taken seriously and that's why there was
01:05:10
a conference in Berlin ten November last year.
01:05:17
Incidentally, here is also Adams, who
01:05:19
also gave a lecture at a
01:05:21
conference via Bild of the meeting it
01:05:24
's about this discrepancy where it
01:05:26
is discussed why it could be there
01:05:28
was no real result. They took
01:05:30
stock, so to speak,
01:05:32
and I gave a lecture about
01:05:34
Gaia and
01:05:37
then others had something about these
01:05:38
cosmological models and this trade fair
01:05:40
held and this is a very current
01:05:43
topic,
01:05:44
this discrepancy and I'm excited to see what
01:05:49
will come out of it in the end. At some point we will
01:05:50
certainly understand this. With Gaia
01:05:54
we want to measure not only the
01:05:56
distance but also the movements of
01:05:57
the stars.
01:05:59
In reality, we have for
01:06:01
stars if we All together
01:06:03
we also have the radial speed, we have
01:06:04
three coordinates, so to speak, that
01:06:07
determine
01:06:08
a position in the sky if you really
01:06:10
have the spatial position and three
01:06:11
speed coordinates with which
01:06:15
we have the speeds, that's what
01:06:16
physicists call in phases space 6
01:06:19
dimensional space, you make it out of it and
01:06:21
if If you take a closer look, there
01:06:23
may be structures in it
01:06:24
that you didn't know before and one of the
01:06:27
structures that you can find if you
01:06:29
draw a diagram if you take the stars in
01:06:31
our sun's surroundings and
01:06:33
one of the coordinates is
01:06:35
the positions Above or
01:06:37
below the galactic plane,
01:06:39
our Milky Way is essentially
01:06:41
a galactic disk and, by the way, the sun
01:06:43
is relatively exactly in the
01:06:46
middle of this disk and this
01:06:48
coordinate tells us how high a star is
01:06:51
above the disk in the cinema
01:06:53
so 1000 pair said a
01:06:55
few 63 light 3.26 light years so that
01:06:58
corresponds to 3000 light years closer and that
01:07:01
's 3000 light years below the
01:07:03
disk and that's the speed at
01:07:05
which the star will like to
01:07:07
move up or down
01:07:09
and then there's color coded to
01:07:12
make it even more complicated how fast
01:07:13
they move around the galaxy, so to speak,
01:07:15
you basically entered three
01:07:17
different two speeds and
01:07:19
a coordinate and
01:07:22
you see a spiral and
01:07:25
no one has predicted this spiral in the models
01:07:27
so far, this spiral is really one
01:07:30
Surprise, there was data in it
01:07:32
and afterwards you can now
01:07:35
find out what could have been the cause
01:07:36
and one of the
01:07:38
most likely causes is that this
01:07:41
is a disturbance caused by the
01:07:43
impact of a dwarf galaxy on our
01:07:46
street and we know
01:07:47
pretty well which one galaxy that
01:07:49
was
01:07:50
it is the Sagittarius galaxy
01:07:52
that did that
01:07:54
I want to say very briefly when a
01:07:56
star goes up and down so how
01:07:58
do you see stars in our
01:08:00
Milky Way, that's how you imagine
01:08:02
a star moving around
01:08:03
the galactic center in our Milky Way
01:08:05
important but always a bit up and
01:08:07
down so but if it
01:08:10
is completely uncoordinated that one star
01:08:12
runs like this or others like that then it looks like a
01:08:14
mishmash
01:08:16
that there is no structure in it and
01:08:19
not like the spiral In there and
01:08:22
this spiral it must be
01:08:23
created somehow so that the stars make some sort of
01:08:24
common oscillation that they
01:08:27
do this together.
01:08:28
The most likely cause is that
01:08:30
this Sagittarius galaxy
01:08:33
collapsed into our Milky Way
01:08:35
and then created such oscillations
01:08:38
and this is the case here model that then
01:08:40
this speed distribution
01:08:42
has changed over time, so it takes
01:08:44
a few hundred million
01:08:46
years until such a spiral structure
01:08:48
appears and here we know that
01:08:50
the Guitarreros Galaxy here probably
01:08:54
approached the galactic
01:08:55
disk about 500 million years ago has done and caused such a disturbance,
01:08:56
which means that we can,
01:08:58
so to speak,
01:09:02
say something about what happened in the
01:09:03
past by measuring this speed structure.
01:09:04
There is an alternative theory
01:09:06
that is not the only hypothesis,
01:09:08
it is perhaps this one of these bars
01:09:11
in the The middle of the Milky Way is
01:09:13
that it may have some structures that can lead to something like that,
01:09:15
so it is not yet
01:09:17
clear in this case how this
01:09:19
comes about, so a wave like this runs through
01:09:23
it and that ensures that we
01:09:24
still have this wave today ga
01:09:27
can see data
01:09:28
but over time our Milky Way has
01:09:30
not only this incursion of
01:09:33
small galaxies we have but that
01:09:35
it happens again and again and these
01:09:37
are then torn apart over
01:09:39
time by the potential of our
01:09:40
Milky Way and a very special
01:09:42
event has to do with it As we
01:09:45
have now found out by studying
01:09:47
the Gaia data, that this disk that
01:09:49
we have has become thicker.
01:09:51
People have always wondered how
01:09:52
this thick disk came about in
01:09:54
the Milky Way
01:09:56
and that probably
01:09:58
came about through the arrival of a large one
01:10:00
Dwarf galaxies we first of all
01:10:08
had a tenth of the mass of the Milky Way around 10 billion years ago, a
01:10:10
quarter of the mass of the Milky Way at that time,
01:10:12
our Milky Way was still
01:10:13
growing when that happened and Helmi
01:10:17
and others found out in a major paper
01:10:21
that If you analyze the seven
01:10:24
million stars for which we
01:10:26
have this common motion
01:10:30
then there are 30 thousand stars that
01:10:32
have different motions than the times the
01:10:35
majority of the stars and they also have
01:10:36
a different chemical composition
01:10:38
and that actually suggests
01:10:40
that this is times that These are the debris
01:10:42
of a galaxy that missed each other in the earlier
01:10:43
phase of formation with the Milky Way
01:10:45
and which led to
01:10:48
our Milky Way
01:10:49
disk becoming thicker and the
01:10:51
countries Scala in the basement but this this
01:10:54
this event that is the
01:10:56
term they coined And I
01:10:58
think it's really funny what justification
01:10:59
Amina Helmi gave for this.
01:11:03
I translated it into German.
01:11:05
According to legend, it was buried in the basement
01:11:07
under Mount Etna in Sicily and
01:11:10
was responsible for local earthquakes,
01:11:12
and the stars of Gaia became
01:11:14
killers Buried deep in the Gaia data, it
01:11:16
first has to be distilled out here, so to speak,
01:11:17
and they
01:11:19
shook the Milky Way, which led to the formation
01:11:21
of its thick disk, so that's
01:11:23
a bit of the mythological explanation
01:11:26
for this term
01:11:28
and here again thick disk is what this is called
01:11:31
disk but the
01:11:33
Milky Way viewed from the side
01:11:34
that it is thicker and that a
01:11:36
sun and a mixture of stars
01:11:38
have formed, some of which also
01:11:40
have a different chemical composition and in
01:11:44
general it is the case that when
01:11:45
dwarf galaxies fall into our Milky Way
01:11:47
they are torn apart like
01:11:49
we are This is what we see in this animation
01:11:51
and we also observe something like this when we
01:11:54
see foreign galaxies, then we see
01:11:55
such structures, such as a
01:11:57
case of such dwarf galaxies, which means that
01:12:01
stars do not move with the
01:12:03
other stars but on different
01:12:05
orbits.
01:12:06
This is called star streams and These
01:12:08
star streams were partly
01:12:11
planned, but with Gaia,
01:12:13
additional star streams have now been found which
01:12:18
can now of course be analyzed much more precisely in detail because
01:12:20
with Gaia you can see speeds and distances and three-dimensional structure
01:12:23
much more precisely and these star
01:12:26
streams will Of course, they trace
01:12:29
their orbits over the large area of ​​our galaxy
01:12:31
and these orbits tell you
01:12:34
something, of course, about how much mass is in
01:12:36
our galaxy. Thirdly,
01:12:37
you conclude from this, for example, that our Milky Way
01:12:39
is probably heavier than you
01:12:41
previously thought, probably something
01:12:42
like 10 to the power of 12 solar masses or something like that
01:12:45
And of course the dark matter is also
01:12:47
partly responsible and other
01:12:50
things and this dark matter
01:12:52
may have worked out, that is, it
01:12:54
is not only distributed equally spatially
01:12:56
around the Milky Way, but it is
01:12:58
assumed that there are
01:13:00
structures underneath because these
01:13:02
structures are partly responsible for it
01:13:04
Responsible for the fact that these two
01:13:05
galaxies were formed there, but some
01:13:08
of them contain no stars at all and
01:13:10
others contain stars, so you
01:13:12
have this dark matter and the structures
01:13:13
and there is a stream of stars that
01:13:18
came from a torn star cluster called a globular star cluster
01:13:20
that now there are none Dwarf galaxies
01:13:21
that had now been observed very closely with Gaia
01:13:24
and a picture
01:13:26
of what it looks like is this
01:13:28
star stream looks like this and there is
01:13:31
a gap in it
01:13:32
around this gap, the
01:13:35
authors interpret this to mean that some dark
01:13:38
matter has passed through there who
01:13:40
caused this gap is very speculative, I
01:13:42
admit, but anyone who finds things like this
01:13:44
could be evidence
01:13:46
that this actually happened,
01:13:48
so here you can see these
01:13:51
arms shown and here are clumps of dark
01:13:54
matter that could lead to
01:13:55
such gaps being created because you You wo
01:13:57
n't be able to get a gap like this, let's
01:13:59
stay with this
01:14:00
dwarf galaxy. You know the
01:14:03
large Magellanic cloud and now
01:14:05
you've found a galaxy in the data,
01:14:07
a dwarf galaxy that's practically as big
01:14:10
as the Marian cloud but does
01:14:13
n't fan out 4000 times is and holds a lot
01:14:14
fewer stars
01:14:15
and you found them by
01:14:18
seeing that there were a few stars
01:14:21
of a certain type of variable
01:14:22
stars in there that all had
01:14:24
the same movement at the same distance
01:14:25
and let's have which stones do
01:14:28
we still have this movement and then
01:14:29
The stars were found in the Gar
01:14:31
data, so very indirectly, they were
01:14:34
found about 420,000 light-years
01:14:37
away from us and were the size of the
01:14:39
Magellanic cloud but are much, much
01:14:41
weaker in light, so such objects have
01:14:43
now been discovered with Gaia due to
01:14:47
these highly precise ones data So now
01:14:51
I want to finish by asking the question again, what does our
01:14:53
Milky Way look like? We do
01:14:54
n't know exactly yet, it's not enough yet,
01:14:56
but you can speculate a little bit.
01:14:59
This is what it could look like. That's right, they
01:15:02
are data The ones on
01:15:04
the Spitzer missions that are essential to return a woman Roth
01:15:06
telescope where
01:15:08
the distance wasn't exactly
01:15:09
known and they also sat down
01:15:12
and the vultures took data
01:15:13
from the young stars
01:15:15
that are currently there where young
01:15:17
stars are star formation regions and
01:15:20
By the way, the errors are soon
01:15:22
drawn in here and here is ours here
01:15:24
is the galactic center there we are
01:15:26
and there are the stars that you have even
01:15:29
measured you can see that there
01:15:32
are already happy ones in between and
01:15:34
maybe spiral arms are allowed throughout so
01:15:36
but it is so convincing
01:15:39
I would say that we haven't yet, but
01:15:41
that there are players who are willing to believe, but
01:15:44
in between there are also a lot of stars in
01:15:46
our sun's surroundings and maybe
01:15:49
our galaxy looks a little
01:15:51
different. There are galaxies that do
01:15:53
n't have the clear spiral arms
01:15:55
that they do at 51 but this more
01:15:58
fuzzy galaxy ngc 4414 where we clearly
01:16:02
have spiral arms where we also have a lot of
01:16:04
structure in between and maybe
01:16:07
there are first indications from the gaia
01:16:09
data that our galaxy
01:16:11
looks more like that but we
01:16:13
just have to wait and see
01:16:15
what they do Gaia data and other data
01:16:17
in order to say something about the galaxy at the end
01:16:21
and finally I would like to say
01:16:22
that it is a project that is only possible
01:16:26
if many people work together in a good way,
01:16:28
if you
01:16:31
work together in Europe to make such a project
01:16:32
progress In
01:16:34
some cases, people have been working on it for 24 years.
01:16:37
450 scientists are still
01:16:39
working on this project,
01:16:41
not all of them full-time, but at least
01:16:44
some of them are 160 institutes from 24 countries
01:16:47
and of course the European
01:16:49
space agency esa.
01:16:50
Then we have six
01:16:52
data processing centers and the whole thing
01:16:53
runs under the under the consortium
01:16:57
called data processing in the nla
01:16:59
is this consortium of gaia and here
01:17:02
you can see half of the people who
01:17:04
worked on the approximately who met a
01:17:06
few months ago
01:17:07
to exchange the results
01:17:09
and also prepare the next catalog
01:17:11
and that's just how it works Such an
01:17:14
interesting project and that's how you make
01:17:16
progress when you work together and
01:17:18
while I was speaking here, around
01:17:21
another three million
01:17:23
stars have probably already been measured,
01:17:25
around 30 million astrometric
01:17:27
measurements have been carried out, around 600,000
01:17:29
star spectrum of 200,000 stars have
01:17:32
been recorded and now I believe
01:17:34
I should slowly come to the end
01:17:36
and thank you for your attention

Description:

Seit 2014 vermisst der Gaia-Satellit der ESA die Sterne der Milchstrasse genauer als je zuvor. Das Hauptziel der Mission ist es, eine riesige Zahl von Sternen der Milchstrasse hochpräzise zu vermessen. In diesem Vortrag geht Stefan Jordan nach einer kurzen Einführung auf den 2. Sternkatalog von Gaia ein und nennt Beispiele.
