Spying for Signs of Life Among Exoplanet Atmospheres - Technology Org

New research suggests that the next generation of advanced telescopes could sharpen the hunt for potential extraterrestrial life by closely scrutinizing the atmospheres of nearby exoplanets.

Published recently in The Astronomical Journal, a new paper details how a team of astronomers from Ohio State University examined upcoming telescopes’ ability to detect chemical traces of oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane and water on 10 rocky exoplanets. These elements are biosignatures also found in Earth’s atmosphere that can provide key scientific evidence of life.  

The study found that for a pair of these nearby worlds, Proxima Centauri b and GJ 887 b, these telescopes are highly adept at detecting the presence of potential biosignatures. Of the two, findings show that only for Proxima Centauri b would the machines be able to detect carbon dioxide if it were present. Though no exoplanet has been found to twin Earth’s early conditions for life precisely, this work suggests that if examined in greater detail, such unique Super Earths – planets more massive than Earth but smaller than Neptune – could make a suitable target for future research missions. 

To further the search for habitable planets, Huihao Zhang, lead author of the study and a senior in astronomy at Ohio State, and his colleagues also sought to determine the effectiveness of specialized imaging instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and other Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) such as the European Extremely Large Telescope, the Thirty-Meter-Telescope and the Giant Magellan Telescope at directly imaging exoplanets. 

“Not every planet is suitable for direct imaging, but that’s why simulations give us a rough idea of what the ELTs would have delivered and the promises they’re meant to hold when they are built,“ said Zhang. 

The direct method of imaging exoplanets involves using a coronagraph or starshade to block a host star’s light, allowing for scientists to capture a faint image of the new world in orbit. But because locating them in this way can be difficult and time-consuming, the researchers aimed to see how well the ELT telescopes might handle the challenge. To do this, they tested each telescope’s instruments’ abilities to differentiate universal background noise from the planetary noise they aimed to capture while detecting biosignatures; called the signal-to-noise ratio, the higher it is, the easier a planet’s wavelength is able to be detected and analyzed. 

Results showed that the direct imaging mode of one of the European ELT’s instruments, called the Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph, performed better for three planets (GJ 887 b, Proxima b and Wolf 1061 c) in discerning the presence of methane, carbon dioxide and water, while its High Angular Resolution Monolithic Optical and Near-infrared Integral field spectrograph instrument could detect methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen and water, but needed a great deal more exposure time.

Additionally, since these conclusions were about instruments that will have to peer through the chemical fog of Earth’s atmosphere to progress the search for cosmic life, they were compared to JWST’s current outer space capabilities, said Zhang. 

“It’s hard to say whether space telescopes are better than ground-based telescopes, because they’re different,” he said. “They have different environments, different locations, and their observations have different influences.”

In this case, findings revealed that while GJ 887 b is one of the most suitable targets for ELT direct imaging as its location and size result in an especially high signal-to-noise ratio, for some transiting planets, such as the TRAPPIST-1 system, JWST’s techniques for studying planetary atmospheres are more suitable for detecting them than direct imaging from the ELTs on Earth. 

But because the study took on a more conservative assumption with the data, Zhang said, the true effectiveness of future astronomical tools could still surprise scientists. And subtle contrasts in performance aside, these powerful technologies serve to widen our understanding of the universe and are meant to complement each other, said Ji Wang, co-author of the study and an assistant professor in astronomy at Ohio State. It’s why studies like this one, that assess the limitations of those technologies, is necessary, he said. 

“The importance of simulation, especially for missions that cost billions of dollars, cannot be stressed enough,” said Wang. “Not only do people have to build the hardware, they also try really hard to simulate the performance and be prepared to achieve those glorious results.”

In all likelihood, as the ELTs won’t be completed until the tail end of the decade, researchers’ next steps will settle around simulating how well future ELT instruments will take to investigating the intricacies of our own planet’s rampant proofs of life. 

“We want to see to what extent we can study our atmosphere to exquisite detail and how much information we can extract from it,” said Wang. “Because if we cannot answer habitability questions with Earth’s atmosphere, then there’s no way we can start to answer these questions around other planets.”

👻 - do you believe in ghosts

not really. I’d like to think there’s an afterlife of sorts but even I don’t know how much of that I believe either. and yet somehow ghost movies will still manage to frighten me somehow.

[moonsjun-archive]

wow it’s been a minute since i’ve talked abt jun or giffed jun or was just. incessantly junist who have i become and Don’t say haonator 😔

[hearttoshu]

(it's @huihaos!) 8, 19, 42? hope ur feeling better/feel better soon jess 💖

T_T thank you so much Qarina I’m just taking things a little bit at a time (aaannnd twice are coming back tonight and me n Jian are staying up for it so I’m really excited :D) 

8.) What gif trend do you hate

I don’t really know too much about gif trends haha but there are some things people do that sometimes makes me uncomfortable…? and it could just be my opinion or lack of experience coloring because I’ve done it before too… but when people mess too much with the color balance where their gifs are kinda entirely just one color?? and the skin color for the gifs are bright orange or purple or just a bright color skin color shouldn’t be XD yea I don’t much care for that haha

19.) What is your giffing process like

I LAUGH REMEMBERING ALL MY STRUGGLES so I know I’ve said it before but uhhh my import video frames to layers option used to never work… so I had to convert videos frame by frame into jpegs and load them ?!?!? I know crazy lol… but I’ve had a lot of time to play with my process and finally settled on stuff I like ??? so for me it goes: 

download best vid quality possible preferably 1080fps and a tp file for live broadcasts >> run through avisynth and crop / adjust amount of frames as desired >> import into photoshop >> color >> flatten frames >> convert to timeline >> convert to smart object >> sharpen >> convert frames to clips >> convert to frame animation >> adjust frame rate >> save for web uwu

42.) How is your gif folder organized? Is it organized at all?

Q YOU’RE EXPOSING MEEEEEEEEEEE… tbh i try organizing it but now i just save all my gifs to a folder i label “ggifs” because it was supposed to be for gifs for my girl group side blog but now i just save everything in there LOL

Questions for gif-makers !

Great Generals of the East and West, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, c. 1874, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art

left scroll of a pair; three men (clockwise from top center): Japanese man wearing partial suit of armor and helmet, seated on floor, holding a black fan and wearing a garment on his upper body with green sleeves; Asian man in LRC wearing a bright blue robe with white organic medallions and white belt, black cloth wrapped around his hair and white headband, holding a folded white fan and seated on floor; European man with red hair and thick red beard at left wearing a long red uniform jacket with brass buttons and epaulettes, and white baggy pants, seated in an orange chair; four bold lines of text in black at top around figures; large square red seal above PR shoulder of European man One of the largest paintings by Yoshitoshi, this is also one of the most mysterious. The six people from right to left are the warlord and unifier of Japan Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537–1598), as a child with dog; the first shogun of the Edo period (1603–1868), Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543–1616); the first president of the United States, George Washington (1732–1799), as a drummer boy during the American Civil War; the feudal lord Mōri Motonari (1497–1571); Date Masamune (1579–1636), the Lord of Sendai; and the emperor of France Napoleon III (1808–1873). The signature indicates that this painting was commissioned, and the signature style puts the date at around 1874. Napoleon III’s death in 1873 might have been the stimulus. But the meaning of this painting, including such puzzling elements as the boiling kettle, remains unclear. Yoshitoshi’s humongous seal on the left includes a line from the “Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup,” a poem attributed to the Chinese poet Du Fu (712–770): his brush produces cloud and mist (Chin. huihao luo zhi ru yunyan). Size: 63 1/2 × 39 1/4 in. (161.29 × 99.7 cm) (image) 79 3/16 × 45 5/16 in. (201.14 × 115.09 cm) (without roller) Medium: Ink and color on silk

mmmm idk what to say i've never made a follow forever before 😖😖 but seeing as 2018 is coming to a close and stuff I figured I would. I'm including like everyone who I follow which is a lot of people (about 300). I think I am mutuals with most of you and quite honestly I really appreciate everyone sticking around. I know I'm not always the most positive and pleasant person to follow but I try my best I promise 😖😖 So whether you've followed me recently or whether you followed me after I remade a few months ago I really appreciate you and I love you all. 

So @ everyone under the read below thingy I hope you all have a fantastic few days of 2018 and I hope 2019 brings you all so much happiness and great opportunities because it’s what you all deserve!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

secret santa gift for @huihaos ~

Hi Qarina, I’m your secret santa. It was really amazing messaging you and fangirling about our furry gemini who’s out of control. I’m so so happy you’re also a jun stan and we got to share some things about him. I am not a content creator so I comissioned this from a friend. I imagined something like this when you told me what was your favorite junhui’s hair style. I hope you like it. thank you for supporting seventeen and jun. I’d love to still keep in contact a lot. 

Let’s sit next to junhui for a long time!~

Merry Christmas Q!

From: Vanessa.

Hello I’m a new Carat here :3 I saw seventeen’s performance at MAMA and also saw their MV ryesterday when it came out. I feel like I’m entering an entirely different era from the ones that older carats got to live. I was wondering if you can recommend some Seventeen blogs that I could follow and that could help me catch up to date. Thank you in advance

Awww of course ! Most of the blogs I follow are pretty up-to-date in terms of content but tell me if you’d like a list of older Seventeen moments and I could compile a quick little list for you :))

Also I’ll stick to primarily update blogs / content creators so do tell me if you’d like me to recommend just some overall people who you could be carat friends with ^^

update blogs (post fantakens and other news / videos about specific members) - @fy-cheollie @cscarchive @jeonghandata @joshua-data @fyeahwonhui @hoshidata @wooziupdates @fywoozi @fyeahgyuhao @cottoncandycarat @seventeenville @fy-bsk 

Update / gif makers (I’d say if you ever want a few svt blogs that always cover important svt moments it’d be these ones) -

@kristian-do - Han’s actually the nicest carat around :,)) and easily if you’re a new carat her blog is the way to go ! she posts all their instagram updates and latest news about svt and gifs every seventeen video and posts fantakens of the members at their events too ! and if you ever have any questions Han can answer them for you haha (Jeonghan biased, but a 95 line enthusiast haha ^~^)

@cheolshu - Mika has AMAZING gifs T^T and again updates for Seventeen just like Han does, also if you’re ever looking for a Joshua moment I can bet you she giffed it :,)) She can answer any questions you have too and she’s hilarious and meme-y just like Josh (Joshua biased but has a soft spot for 1 mr. choi seungcheol)

@wonnhao - Gen’s gifs are fantastic too ! really good translations from various shows (like Junhao in their promotional activities in China) and just so so wonderfully talented ! and personally I adore gif makers that not only gif funny or important moments but also that have stunning quality in terms of coloring and sharpening

@hanwooz - !!! ok absolutely stunning gorgeous gifs !!! I’ve also read part of Christine’s ff and it’s so incredibly written ahhhh, again another amazing blog that covers seventeen moments in a wonderful way, Kellie’s gifs of Vern always blow me away they’re clear and beautiful

@tswoondere - Hannah is literally so so soft for 96 line but especially wonhui like IT’S THE CUTEST and her gifs are absolutely stunning too, wonwoo nose scrunch enthusiast I absolutely love all her jun gifs and again really great content of the latest seventeen vids

@piechen-art - Honey bee!! Billie’s gifs are stunning too and the captions are always super witty and just so clever for the sets and again beautiful gifs I love everything T-T

gif-makers (cont.) - 

@softwonwoo - NGL I LOVE JIAN TO BITS N PIECES GORGEOUS STUNNING GIFS 117% whipped for wonu I can attest to this  

@juunshua - Shine’s literally one of my favorite Seventeen creators, her colorings especially for live stage performances and gifs are breathtaking and i. love. junshua. so :3 

@luckyjeonghan - ABBY IS HILARIOUS BEST MEMES BEST GIFS STAN TALENT STAN ABBY PLS AND THANK YOU

@shuuvee - LISTEN amazing amazing gifs of Joshua + perfo team and just overall a wonderful guy with wonderful content :D

@ageekofart - Charlotte is my main provider of seokmin content >:((( I love her so much 

@huihaos - I cri qarina has great junhao content please i love her

I can’t exactly write lil descriptions for everyone I just realized or this would be suuuuper long but yea lots of people have really beautiful gifs for any seventeen moment you want to see so:

@kwoncoups @sooncoups @jeonghney @oshbros @verngyu @svthoon @woocity @junhoshi @luwo0 @jisheart @kwibu @seokminseok @minghaon @softjun @coffeenote @photobythe8 @sunkgwan @8eht @berethosh @rappershua @livelovelunch @withjunhui @junhoontrash @xums @xmhs @forjju @amemericans @powerfulsoonyoung @christmaskwan @bokdeongeori

Great Generals of the East and West, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, c. 1874, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art
