Comet Ison, presumed dead, shows new life - The Times of India

timesofindia.indiatimes.com Astronomers are marveling at the death and apparent resurrection of Comet Ison, which dove close to the sun on Thursday, as seen above in a composite image.

Hope still for 'dead' Comet Ison!!!

Astrophysicist Karl Battams: "This comet has confused and amazed us right from the word go..."

The giant ball of ice and dust was initially declared dead when it failed to re-emerge from behind the star with the expected brightness.

All that could be seen was a dull smudge in space telescope images - its nucleus and tail assumed destroyed.

But recent pictures have indicated a brightening of what may be a small fragment of the comet.

Astronomers admit to being surprised and delighted, but now caution that anything could happen in the coming hours and days.

This remnant of Ison could continue to brighten, or it could simply fizzle out altogether.

"We've been following this comet for a year now and all the way it has been surprising us and confusing us," said astrophysicist Karl Battams, who operates the US space agency-funded Sungrazing Comets Project.

"It's just typical that right at the end, when we said, 'yes, it has faded out, it's died, we've lost it in the Sun', that a couple of hours later it should pop right back up again," he told BBC News.

The European Space Agency (Esa), too, which had been among the first organisations to call the death of Ison, has had to re-assess the situation. A small part of the nucleus may be intact, its experts say.

There were early doubts when nothing was seen in pictures where Ison should have been (cross)
How much of the once 2km-wide hunk of dirty ice could have survived is impossible to say.

Passing just 1.2 million km above the surface of the Sun would have severely disrupted Ison. Its ices would have vaporized rapidly in temperatures over 2,000C. And the immense gravity of the star would also have pulled and squeezed on the object as it tumbled end over end.

Karl Battams said: "We would like people to give us a couple of days, just to look at more images as they come from the spacecraft, and that will allow us to assess the brightness of the object that we're seeing now, and how that brightness changes.

"That will give us an idea of maybe what the object is composed of and what it might do in the coming days and weeks."

Whatever happens next, comets are going to be a big feature in the news over the next year.

In 11 months' time, Comet Siding Spring will breeze past Mars at a distance of little more than 100,000km. And then in November 2014, Esa's Rosetta mission will attempt to place a probe on the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

ഈ മാര്‍ച്ചില്‍ നമ്മളെ സന്ദര്‍ശിക്കുന്ന ധൂമകേതുവാണ് C/2011 L4 എന്ന ഔദ്യോഗികനാമത്തില്‍ അറിയപ്പെടുന്ന പാന്‍സ്റ്റാഴ്സ് (PANSTARRS). ഇത് ഒരിക്കല്‍ മാത്രം പ്രത്യക്ഷപ്പെടുന്ന ഒന്നാണ്, ഇനി ഒരു വരവുണ്ടാകില്ല. ഹവായിയിലെ മൌയീ ദ്വീപില്‍ സജ്ജീകരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) എന്ന ടെലിസ്കോപ്പ് സംവിധാനം ഉപയോഗിച്ച് 2011 ജൂണ്‍ മാസത്തിലാണ് ഇതിനെ ആദ്യമായി കണ്ടെത്തിയത്. ഒരു വര്‍ഷം കൊണ്ട് ഇതിന്റെ തിളക്കം ഏതാണ്ട് 150 മടങ്ങ് വര്‍ദ്ധിക്കുകയുണ്ടായി. 2012 ജനുവരി ആയപ്പോഴേക്കും അതിന്റെ തിളക്കം വീണ്ടും ശ്രദ്ധേയമായി വര്‍ദ്ധിച്ചിരുന്നു എങ്കിലും പിന്നീട് അപ്രതീക്ഷിതമായി അതിന്റെ തിളക്കം കുറയാന്‍ തുടങ്ങിയത് വാനനിരീക്ഷകരെ അല്പ്പം നിരാശരാക്കി എന്ന്‍ തന്നെ പറയണം. പക്ഷേ ഈ വിരുന്ന്‍കാരന്റെ വരവ് എന്നിട്ടും നമുക്ക് സന്തോഷിക്കാന്‍ വക നല്കുന്നുണ്ട്. അങ്ങ് ദൂരെ ഊര്‍ട്ട് മേഖലയില്‍ നിന്നും ലക്ഷക്കണക്കിനു വര്‍ഷങ്ങള്‍ യാത്ര ചെയ്തു വരുന്ന ഇദ്ദേഹം ഇപ്പൊഴും നഗ്നനേത്രങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് ദൃശ്യമാണ് എന്നത് തന്നെ കാരണം. അത് സൂര്യനോട് ഏറ്റവും അടുത്ത് ചെന്ന മാര്‍ച്ച് 10-നായിരുന്നു ഇതിന് ഏറ്റവും തിളക്കം. പക്ഷേ അത് സൂര്യന്റെ പ്രഭയില്‍ മുങ്ങിപ്പോയിരുന്നു. സൂര്യനില്‍ നിന്നും ഇത് പതിയെ അകന്ന്‍ തുടങ്ങുന്നതോടെ, മാര്‍ച്ച് 12 ണു ഇത് പരമാവധി പ്രഭയോടെ നമുക്ക് ദൃശ്യമാകും എന്നാണ് പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടുന്നത്. താഴെ കൊടുക്കുന്ന, NASA പ്രസിദ്ധീകരിച്ച ചിത്രത്തില്‍ ചന്ദ്രനെ അടിസ്ഥാനമാക്കി പടിഞ്ഞാറന്‍ ചക്രവാളത്തില്‍ പാന്‍സ്റ്റാഴ്സിനെ കണ്ടുപിടിക്കാനുള്ള സൂചനകള്‍ കാണാം.

കറുത്ത വാവിനോട് അടുത്ത ദിവസങ്ങളില്‍ ചന്ദ്രന്‍ സൂര്യന്‍ അസ്തമിച്ച് അല്പ നേരം കഴിയുമ്പോള്‍ തന്നെ അസ്തമിക്കുമെന്നും പിന്നീടുള്ള ദിവസങ്ങളില്‍ ചന്ദ്രാസ്തമയം വൈകിയാല്‍ പോലും പാന്‍സ്റ്റാഴ്സ് സൂര്യനില്‍ നിന്നും അകലുന്നതിനാല്‍ തിളക്കം കുറഞ്ഞുവരുമെന്നും ഓര്‍ക്കുമല്ലോ. പടിഞ്ഞാറന്‍ ചക്രവാളം കാണാന്‍ കഴിയും വിധം ഉയരമുള്ള ഒരു സ്ഥലം നിരീക്ഷണത്തിന് കൂടുതല്‍ അനുയോജ്യമായിരിക്കും. മാത്രമല്ല, ധൂമകേതുവിന്റെ വാല്‍ ഒരു ബൈനോക്കുലറിന്റെയോ ചെറിയ ടെലിസ്കോപ്പിന്‍റെയോ സഹായത്തോടെ മാത്രമേ വ്യക്തമായി കാണുവാന്‍ കഴിയൂ എന്നതും ശ്രദ്ധിയ്ക്കുക. മാര്‍ച്ച് മാസം അവസാനത്തോടെ പാന്‍സ്റ്റാഴ്സ് കാണാന്‍ കഴിയാത്ത വിധം സൂര്യനില്‍ നിന്നും അകന്ന്‍ പോയിരിക്കും. ഈ അപൂര്‍വ അവസരം എല്ലാവരും പ്രയോജനപ്പെടുത്താന്‍ ശ്രമിക്കുമല്ലോ. (PS: മറ്റേതൊരു ആകാശക്കാഴ്ചയെയും പോലെ തെളിഞ്ഞ ആകാശം ഇതിനും ഒരു അവശ്യഘടകമാണെന്ന് പ്രത്യേകം പറയേണ്ടതില്ലല്ലോ.)
