Every time I watch Jurassic World the character I feel the most sympathy for is the iRex. Poor thing, all isolated and alone, no pack bonding, no regular caretaker... no wonder she went crazy.

(In an AU Angharad is an animal trainer instead of living in Mad Max world, and teaches her that we are not things.)

Pacman robot (2005) by Namco, Tokyo, Japan. Celebrating their 50th anniversary, Namco present their Pacman maze-solving robot at the IREX 2005 Robotics show. Speaking about their exhibit, Namco's Takashi Yamazaki says, "Both Pacman (the video game) and the micromouse contest started just over 25 years ago. They share the hearts and spirits of at least two generations of engineers. The young designers that played Pacman in the 80's and participated in the early micromouse competitions, also went on to lay the foundations for the robots we use today. Namco, the creator of Pacman, and long time sponsor of the micromouse competitions in Japan, designed a full size, fully functional Pacman game to commemorate this long association, and hopefully to inspire today's young designers and engineers to bring robotics to the next level." – Pacman – The Rest Of The Story, by Lem.

I haven't been trying for a month, but I'm getting there. ☆˚ · • . ° . VOID STATE

27 August - 14 September!!!

Since the 27th of August I have been researching affirmations, void statue, SATS, etc. I tried void at the very beginning and I was almost successful and my body started shaking in a weird way. But because it was shaking so much, I thought I was tiring my body too much and opened my eyes. (Because I was waiting to enter the void for 20-30 minutes.) After that day, I took a break and tried to enter the void again for 4 days, but since I was in a very bad mood, I couldn't concentrate enough and I slept every time. But yesterday, 14 September, after focusing for about 20 minutes again, the symptoms increased a lot. (I even wanted the void to be a white, green-framed place and it was getting white.) My body was trembling and my heart was beating like crazy!!! I tried to endure the symptoms for a while, no matter how scared I was, but then I opened my eyes. In fact, one of the most important principles of achieving the void is to be UNTIMELY. Today, I want to try the void stat again and be successful. I feel that the more I take a break from trying void, the harder it gets. So today I will definitely be persistent and I will enter void. ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ

See you guys in the next article. Thanks for your articles! ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ୨ৎ

I redesigned my girlie the Indominus Rex

I made her not shrink wrapped and fully albino

Idc if she’s not a real dinosaur, she’s my favorite hybrid and I 100% believe she wasn’t truly evil. Poor girl has social animals, including human, DNA in her and grew up in isolation within a small, confining cage. I theorize that the whole ‘eating her sister’ bit was because they weren’t giving the two Irexes enough food, causing the Indom’s sister to die of starvation The Indominus was forced to grow up fast, but she’s still just a kid and when she escaped, she took her anger out on humans and other dinosaurs I think she left that last apatosaurus alive because she wanted it to feel as alone as she did

I can only think of what would have happened if Owen had tried to reason with her or show her any kind of love/affection that she was denied of her whole life

Astronomers' new technique measures temperature of a star with high precision

Astronomers study stars by looking at the different colors of light they emit—colors they capture and analyze using spectroscopy. Now a team led by Université de Montréal's Étienne Artigau has developed a technique that uses a star's spectrum to chart variations in its temperature to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius, over a range of time scales.

"By tracking a star's temperature, we can learn a lot about it, such as its rotation period, its stellar activity, its magnetic field," explained Artigau, an astrophysicist at UdeM's Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx). "Such detailed knowledge is also essential for finding and studying a star's planets."

In an article accepted for publication in The Astronomical Journal and currently available on the arXiv preprint server, Artigau and his team demonstrate the technique's effectiveness and versatility using observations of four very different stars made with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) 3.6-m telescope in La Silla, Chile.

A better technique for analyzing spectra

The scientists first turned their attention to stellar spectra to improve exoplanet detection using radial velocity. This method measures slight oscillations in a star generated by the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet. The greater the oscillations, the larger the planet.

But it's hard to detect very small oscillations and therefore low-mass planets. To overcome this problem, Artigau and his team developed a technique exploiting the radial velocity method that analyzes a star's full spectrum and not just a few portions, as previously done with this method.

This makes it possible to detect planets as small as the Earth orbiting around small stars. Artigau then came up with the idea of using a similar strategy to detect not only variations in a star's oscillations but also in its temperature.

Distinguishing between stars and their planets

Temperature measurements are critical in the search for exoplanets, which are mostly observed indirectly by closely tracking their star. In recent years, astronomers have faced a major hurdle: how to distinguish between the observable effects of a star and its planets.

This is a problem in both the search for exoplanets using radial velocity and the study of their atmospheres using transit spectroscopy.

"It's very difficult to confirm the existence of an exoplanet or to study its atmosphere without precise knowledge of the host star's properties and how they vary over time," explained Charles Cadieux, a doctoral student at IREx who contributed to the study.

"This new technique gives us an invaluable tool for ensuring that our knowledge of exoplanets is solid and for advancing our characterization of their properties."

Unrivaled precision

A star's surface temperature is a basic property that astronomers rely on because it can be used to determine the star's luminosity and chemical composition. At best, a star's exact temperature can be known to an accuracy of about 20°C.

However, the new technique measures not exact temperatures but temperature variation over time, which it can determine with remarkable precision.

"We can't tell whether a star is 5,000°C or 5,020°C, but we can determine if it has increased or decreased by a degree, even a fraction of a degree—no one's ever done this before," said Artigau.

"It's a challenge to detect such minute temperature changes in the human body, so imagine what it's like for a gaseous ball with a temperature in the thousands located dozens of light-years away."

Unprecedented insights into four stars

To demonstrate that their technique works, the researchers used observations taken with the SPIRou spectrograph in the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the HARPS spectrograph in the ESO's 3.6-m telescope.

In the data captured by these two telescopes for four small stars in the solar neighborhood, the team could clearly see temperature variation, which they attributed to either the star's rotation or to events at its surface or in the surrounding environment.

The new technique made it possible to measure large variations in temperature. For the star AU Microscopii, known for its high stellar activity, the team recorded variations of almost 40°C.

With this technique, they were able to measure not only very rapid changes in temperature associated with short rotation periods of a few days, such as those AU Microscopii and Epsilon Eridani, but also those occurring over much longer periods of time, a difficult feat for ground-based telescopes.

"We were able to measure changes of a few degrees or less occurring over very long periods, such as those associated with the rotation of Barnard's star, a very quiet star that takes five months to complete a full rotation," explained Artigau. "Before, we would have had to use the Hubble Space Telescope to measure such a subtle and slow variation."

The new technique also made it possible to detect very fine temperature changes at the surface of the stars. For example, the team detected subtle temperature changes in star HD 189733 coinciding with the orbit of its exoplanet HD 189733 b, a giant hot Jupiter planet.

New horizons opened up

The UdeM researchers point out that the technique works not only with SPIRou and HARPS, but with any spectrograph operating in the visible or infrared range.

The innovative technique will be directly applicable to observations from NIRPS, a spectrograph installed last year in the ESO telescope in Chili. According to the researchers, it would also be possible to use this technique with space-based instruments, such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

"The power and versatility of this technique means we can exploit existing data from numerous observatories to detect variations that were previously far too small to be perceived, even on very long timescales," said Artigau.

"This opens up new horizons in our study of the stars, their activity and their planets."

Two Exoplanets May Be Mostly Water, NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer

Though the telescopes can’t directly observe the planets’ surfaces, their densities indicate they’re lighter than rock worlds but heavier than gas-dominated ones.

A team led by of researchers at the University of Montreal has found evidence that two exoplanets orbiting a red dwarf star are “water worlds,” where water makes up a large fraction of the entire planet. These worlds, located in a planetary system 218 light-years away in the constellation Lyra, are unlike any planets found in our solar system.

The team, led by Caroline Piaulet of the Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx) at the University of Montreal, published a detailed study of this planetary system, known as Kepler-138, in the journal Nature Astronomy today.

Piaulet and colleagues observed exoplanets Kepler-138c and Kepler-138d with NASA’s Hubble and the retired Spitzer space telescopes and discovered that the planets could be composed largely of water. These two planets and a smaller planetary companion closer to the star, Kepler-138b, had been discovered previously by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope. The new study found evidence for a fourth planet, too.

Water wasn’t directly detected at Kepler-138c and d, but by comparing the sizes and masses of the planets to models, astronomers conclude that a significant fraction of their volume – up to half of it – should be made of materials that are lighter than rock but heavier than hydrogen or helium (which constitute the bulk of gas giant planets like Jupiter). The most common of these candidate materials is water.

“We previously thought that planets that were a bit larger than Earth were big balls of metal and rock, like scaled-up versions of Earth, and that’s why we called them super-Earths,” explained Björn Benneke, study co-author and professor of astrophysics at the University of Montreal. “However, we have now shown that these two planets, Kepler-138c and d, are quite different in nature and that a big fraction of their entire volume is likely composed of water. It is the best evidence yet for water worlds, a type of planet that was theorized by astronomers to exist for a long time.”

With volumes more than three times that of Earth and masses twice as big, planets c and d have much lower densities than Earth. This is surprising because most of the planets just slightly bigger than Earth that have been studied in detail so far all seemed to be rocky worlds like ours. The closest comparison, say researchers, would be some of the icy moons in the outer solar system that are also largely composed of water surrounding a rocky core.

“Imagine larger versions of Europa or Enceladus, the water-rich moons orbiting Jupiter and Saturn, but brought much closer to their star,” explained Piaulet. “Instead of an icy surface, they would harbor large water-vapor envelopes.”

Water Vapour Discovered in a Small Exoplanet’s Atmosphere - Technology Org

Water Vapour Discovered in a Small Exoplanet’s Atmosphere - Technology Org

A Canadian-led team of astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope reports observing the smallest exoplanet to have water vapour detected in its atmosphere. At only approximately twice Earth’s diameter, the planet GJ 9827d could be an example of potential planets with water-rich atmospheres elsewhere in our galaxy.

Headed by scientists at Université de Montréal, the study was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

“This would be the first time that we can directly show through an atmospheric detection that these planets with water-rich atmospheres can actually exist around other stars,” said co-author Björn Benneke of UdeM’s Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx). “This is an important step toward determining the prevalence and diversity of atmospheres on rocky planets.”

Two plausible scenarios

It remains too early to tell whether Hubble spectroscopically measured a small amount of water vapour in a puffy hydrogen-rich atmosphere, or whether the planet’s atmosphere is mostly made of water, left behind after a primeval hydrogen/helium atmosphere evaporated under stellar radiation.

“Our observing program was designed specifically to not only detect molecules in the planet’s atmosphere, but to actually look specifically for water vapour,” said the study’s lead author, Pierre-Alexis Roy, a doctoral student at iREx. “Either result would be exciting, whether water vapour is dominant or just a tiny species in a hydrogen-dominant atmosphere.”

In the first scenario, the planet would still be clinging to a hydrogen-rich atmosphere laced with water, making it a mini-Neptune.

In the second, it would resemble a larger and hotter version of Europa, Jupiter’s moon, which has twice as much water under its crust as is found on Earth. In this case, said Benneke, “GJ 9827d could be half-water, half-rock: there would be a lot of water vapour on top of some smaller rocky body.”

Smaller and smaller planets

“Until now, we had not been able to directly detect the atmosphere of such a small planet – and we’re slowly getting in this regime now,” added Benneke. “At some point, as we study smaller planets, there must be a transition where there’s no more hydrogen on these small worlds, and they have atmospheres more like Venus, which is dominated by carbon dioxide.”

Because GJ 9827d  is as hot as Venus – around 430 degrees Celsius – it definitely would be an inhospitable, steamy world if its atmosphere were predominantly water vapour, the scientists say.

If the planet has a residual water-rich atmosphere, then it must have formed farther away from its host star, where the temperature is cold and water is available in the form of ice. In this scenario, the planet would have then migrated closer to its star and received more radiation; its hydrogen was heated and escaped or is still in the process of escaping the planet’s weak gravity.

In the other case, the planet would have formed close to the hot star and would have only a trace of water in its atmosphere.

Space telescopes on the case

The Hubble program observed the exoplanet during 11 transits – events in which the planet crossed in front of its star – spaced out over three years. During transits, starlight is filtered through the planet’s atmosphere and has the spectral fingerprint of water molecules. If there are clouds on the planet, they are low enough in the atmosphere not completely to hide Hubble’s view of the atmosphere, and so it can probe water vapour above the clouds.

This discovery opens the door to future study of these types of planets by the James Webb Space Telescope, which can see much more via infrared observation, including carbon-bearing molecules like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane. Once a total inventory of a planet’s elements is taken, comparisons can be made to its star.
