Not an Alien Megastructure, a Cloud of Dust on a 700-Day Orbit

Authentic news,No fake news.

Matt Williams

The mystery of KIC 8462852 (aka. Boyajian's Star or Tabby's Star) continues to excite and intrigue! Ever since it was first seen to be undergoing strange and sudden dips in brightness (back in October of 2015) astronomers have been speculating as to what could be causing this. Since that time, various explanations have been offered, including large asteroids, a large planet, a debris disc or even an alien megastructure.

Many studies have been produced that have sought to assign some other natural explanation to the star's behavior. The latest comes from an international team of scientists - which included Tabetha Boyajian, the lead author on the original 2016 paper. According to this latest study, which was recently published in The Astrophysical Journal, the star's long-term dimming patterns are likely the result of an uneven dust cloud moving around the star.

The study, titled "Extinction and the Dimming of KIC 8462852", was led by Huan Y. A. Meng of the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona. The team also included members from the Astrolab IRIS in Belgium, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), the University of Cambridge, Iowa State University, Pennsylvania State University, Louisiana State University, and the University of Leuven, Belgium.

For the sake of their study, the team consulted data that was obtained by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst mission between January and December of 2016. Whereas Spitzer conducted observations in the infrared band, Swift gathered data in the ultraviolet band. This was then compared to visible light gathered during the same period by AstroLAB IRIS's 68-cm (27-inch) reflecting telescope.

What they found was that KIC 8462852 experienced less dimming in the infrared band than in the ultraviolet. This, they concluded, was a strong indication that material transiting in front of the star was likely no larger than a few micrometers (about one ten-thousands of an inch) in diameter, since anything larger would cause the light to dim equally across all wavelengths.

This finding contradicts many theories that have been ventured since the mysterious dimming of Tabby's Star was first noticed. As Dr. Meng indicated in a recent NASA press statement:

"This pretty much rules out the alien megastructure theory, as that could not explain the wavelength-dependent dimming. We suspect, instead, there is a cloud of dust orbiting the star with a roughly 700-day orbital period."

Based on the strong dip in the ultraviolet band, the research team also concluded that the particles must be larger than interstellar dust. Otherwise, the pressure caused by KIC 8462852's solar wind would drive these particles out into space over time. A circumstellar disk of dust particles would not only be able to remain in orbit, it would also explain the uneven changes in the star's brightness.

So far, this is the best explanation for the mysterious long-term behavior of Tabby's Star. As with previous observations, much of the credit for this latest study goes to amateur astronomers who assisted in the observations. It was participants in the Planet Huntersproject, which provides open to access Kepler mission data, that first noticed that light coming from KIC  8462852 was experiencing strange dips.

In addition, it was the work of amateur astronomers - who provided the necessary technical and software support to AstroLAB - allowed for this study to take place. After the Astrolab group posted the data they had obtained on Tabby's star in a public astronomy archive, George Rieke (one of the co-authors on this latest study) contacted them and proposed combining their results.

The AstroLAB group consists of Franky Dubois, who operated the telescope during the Tabby's Star observations, Ludwig Logie, who helps with technical issues on the telescope, and Steve Rau, who processes observations of star brightness, is a trainer at a Belgian railway company. Together, they began monitoring Tabby's Star after they read Dr. Boyajian 2016 study.

Ever since it was first announced in 2015, there has been speculation as to what could account for the dimming of KIC 8462852. Credit: SentientDevelopments.com

Naturally, more observations and research is needed to confirm this latest study. While it does fit the long-term observations, there is still the matter of shorter-term dimming events. These include the three-day spurts that were noticed in 2017, as well as the major 20-percent dips that were observed during Kepler's primary mission. The theory that these could have been the result of a swarm of comets is also still a possible explanation.

This theory, which was based on data collected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer(WISE) mission, could explain both the short period dips and the longer-term dips. Whereas the comets passing in front of the star could explain the former, dust produced by the sublimation of material from the comets as they draw nearer the star (or through collisions) could explain the latter. As Vanaverbeke said:

"Tabby's Star could have something like a solar activity cycle. This is something that needs further investigation and will continue to interest scientists for many years to come."

So for those hoping that Tabby's Star was the first indication of an alien megastructure, there's still hope (albeit a faint one)! As Professor Loeb of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) told Universe Today recently (with regards to a new study he co-authored), there's always the possibility that dimming patterns are due to massive structures - like a magnetic shield - passing in front of a host star:

“The imprint of a shield built by another civilization could involve the changes it induces in the brightness of the host star due to occultation (similar behavior to Tabby’s star)  if the structure is big enough," he said. "The situation could be similar to Dyson’s spheres, but instead of harvesting the energy of the star the purpose of the infrastructure is to protect a technological civilization on a planet from the flares of its host star.”

While the Kepler mission is no longer in a position to observe Tabby's Star (now that it is conducting its K2 mission), next-generation telescopes are expected to pick up where it left off. These include NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), and ground-based observatories like the Extremely Large Telescope (VLT) array.

More than 8,000 children killed, injured in conflicts: UN

Authentic news,No fake news.

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 6 (APP): A new United Nations report says more
than 8,000 children were killed or injured in armed conflicts throughout
the world last year, a number that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called “unacceptable.”
The UN said in a statement that its annual Children and Armed Conflict
report, presented to the UN Security Council on October 5, found that Afghanistan had the highest number of verified child casualties since
the 192-nation body began documenting civilian casualties in 2009.
The report said that 3,512 children in Afghanistan were killed or
maimed in 2016, up 24 percent from the previous year. In Syria the figure was 1,299, and in Yemen it was 1,340.
The report also found that hundreds of children were victims of sexual
violence, targeted in attacks on schools, or recruited as soldiers.
Guterres said the recruitment and use of children in conflict more
than doubled in Somalia and Syria compared with 2015. And the U.N.
verified 169 incidents affecting at least 1,022 youngsters in South Sudan, more than 60 percent of them recruited and used by government security forces, he said.
The secretary-general said the number of violations against children
committed by extremist groups – al-Shabab, Boko Haram, the Islamic State
and the Taliban – totaled more than 6,800.
Releasing the report, the Special Representative of the
Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Virginia Gamba, said, “The tragic fate of child victims of conflict cannot and must not leave
us unmoved; a child killed, recruited as a soldier, injured in an attack
or prevented from going school due to a conflict is already one too
many.”
Expressing shock over the scale of violations documented in the
report, Guterres, the UN chief, reiterated his call on parties to
conflict to abide by their responsibility to protect children, in
accordance with their obligation under international humanitarian and
human rights law.
“The goal of the report is not only to raise awareness of the
violations of the rights of children but also to promote measures that
can diminish the tragic plight of children in conflict, read a statement attributable to the spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
“The Secretary-General is encouraged that several governments and
non-state actors are now working with the United Nations towards that objective. He hopes that more will follow,” it added.
The statement further noted that the new Developments and Concerns
section included in the report reflects this enhanced UN engagement,
which should lead to reducing the suffering of children victims of armed conflict and increase their protection.
The violations covered in the report include recruitment or use of
children; killing or maiming children; committing rape and other forms of sexual violence against children; engaging in attacks on schools and/or hospitals; and abducting children in situations of armed conflict.
The parties which committed these violations are listed in annexes to
the report. The annexes also include parties that have put in place
measures to improve protection of children during the reporting period
and those who have not implemented adequate measures.

International observers to monitor presidential elections in Kyrgyzstan

BISHKEK, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- About 600 to 1,000 international observers are expected to arrive in Kyrgyzstan to monitor the country's presidential elections scheduled for Oct. 15, Chairwoman of the Central Election Commission (CEC) Nurzhan Shaildabekova said on Friday.

At present, there are 12 presidential candidates, and one candidate has refused to participate in the elections, according to Shaildabekova.
