Was Kepler's supernova unusually powerful?

ScienceDaily (Sep. 11, 2012) ? In 1604, a new star appeared in the night sky that was much brighter than Jupiter and dimmed over several weeks. This event was witnessed by sky watchers including the famous astronomer Johannes Kepler. Centuries later, the debris from this exploded star is known as the Kepler supernova remnant.

Astronomers have long studied the Kepler supernova remnant and tried to determine exactly what happened when the star exploded to create it. New analysis of a long observation from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is providing more clues. This analysis suggests that the supernova explosion was not only more powerful, but might have also occurred at a greater distance, than previously thought.

This image shows the Chandra data derived from more than 8 days worth of observing time. The X-rays are shown in five colors from lower to higher energies: red, yellow, green, blue, and purple. These various X-ray slices were then combined with an optical image from the Digitized Sky Survey, showing stars in the field.

Previous analysis of this Chandra image has determined that the stellar explosion that created Kepler was what astronomers call a "Type Ia" supernova. This class of supernovas occurs when a white dwarf gains mass, either by pulling gas off a companion star or merging with another white dwarf, until it becomes unstable and is destroyed by a thermonuclear explosion.

Unlike other well-known Type Ia supernovas and their remnants, Kepler's debris field is being strongly shaped by what it is running into. More specifically, most Type Ia supernova remnants are very symmetrical, but the Kepler remnant is asymmetrical with a bright arc of X-ray emission in its northern region. This indicates the expanding ball of debris from the supernova explosion is plowing into the gas and dust around the now-dead star.

The bright X-ray arc can be explained in two ways. In one model, the pre-supernova star and its companion were moving through the interstellar gas and losing mass at a significant rate via a wind, creating a bow shock wave similar to that of a boat moving through water. Another possibility is that the X-ray arc is caused by debris from the supernova expanding into an interstellar cloud of gradually increasing density.

The wind and bow shock model described above requires that the Kepler supernova remnant is located at a distance of more than 23,000 light years. In the latter alternative, the gas into which the remnant is expanding has higher density than average, and the distance of the remnant from Earth is between about 16,000 and 20,000 light years. Both alternatives give greater distances than the commonly used value of 13,000 light years.

In either model, the X-ray spectrum -- that is, the amount of X-rays produced at different energies -- reveals the presence of a large amount of iron, and indicates an explosion more energetic than the average Type Ia supernova. Additionally, to explain the observed X-ray spectrum in this model, a small cavity must have been cleared out around the star before it exploded. Such a cavity, which would have a diameter less than a tenth that of the remnant's current size, might have been produced by a fast, dense outflow from the surface of the white dwarf before it exploded, as predicted by some models of Type Ia supernovas.

Evidence for an unusually powerful Type Ia supernova has previously been observed in another remnant with Chandra and an optical telescope. These results were independently verified by subsequent observations of light from the original supernova explosion that bounced off gas clouds, a phenomenon called light echoes. This other remnant is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy about 160,000 light years from Earth, making it much farther away than Kepler and therefore more difficult to study.

These results were published in the September 1st, 2012 edition of The Astrophysical Journal. The authors of this study are Daniel Patnaude from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, MA; Carles Badenes from University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA; Sangwook Park from the University of Texas at Arlington, TX, and Martin Laming from the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC.

Finding the Law, R.I. P.

by Bob Berring ? September 11, 2012

When I went to work for Professor Morris Cohen at Harvard Law School in 1978 to serve as Deputy Director of the Library, he talked with me about joining him as co-author of How to Find the Law, the West Hornbook on legal bibliography and legal research that had already passed through seven editions. It was a standard work. Edition seven had a variety of authors writing individual chapters, with Morris both writing and serving as general editor. Now he wished a more cohesive approach, with the two of us as principal authors, relying on others to check us, but rethinking and rewriting the work. With ill-concealed delight I agreed to be his junior author. The book that we produced, How to Find the Law, 8^thedition came out in 1983. It was almost eight hundred pages long, attempting to cover every aspect of legal bibliography, with special chapters on English and Canadian materials and even a chapter on New Media that included LEXIS and WESTLAW in their toddler years. Four years later, the Ninth edition came out in 1989. Having put almost every original thought that I had into the writing of the Eighth edition, I saw only incremental changes but Morris introduced new blood by adding Kent Olson to the team of authors. Kent may be the most skilled researcher whom I have known. He had been my student, but in name only. Kent always knew more about any topic than I did, and he possessed a finely edged wit. He was the perfect new person to add to the team. Much of his energy went into the ninth edition, just as mine had gone into the eighth. The book came out in 1989, one hundred pages shorter, and that counts some appendices that had been added. The book had it all.

Indeed, I thought that it had too much. The main competing text at that time was Fundamentals of Legal Research by Professor Jacobstein and Mersky. They had been clever enough to see that there was a market for a paperbound abridged edition of the book. They titled it Legal Research Illustrated. In the cheaper format the book could be sold as a text for shorter courses, perhaps used in paralegal schools or even undergraduate courses. This made sense to me. I reworked our text a bit and took the idea of making an abridged copy of How to Find the Law called, Finding the Law. Morris read over my work and felt it to be less than a book should be. How could we leave out details? But we persuaded him and Finding the Law published in 1989. The complexity of the title demonstrates the mixed emotions of the times. But the book did well. How to Find the Law was becoming a reference book, a book to be kept at the Reference Desk. Finding the Law a textbook. When I proposed a revision of Finding the Law, one that stood as an independent tool and less a true abridgement, Morris told me that he believed that there was value in what I suggested but that I was writing for law students that he did not understand, in a style that he could never embrace. As a sidebar, Morris is a painstaking stylist who writes pellucid prose. I have always festooned my work with pop culture references,?puns and humor. Nor could I ever write with the simple grace of Morris or Kent. Morris told me that I should take Finding the Law as my own, and that he and Kent would carry on with a revision of the big book. This is all greatly simplified, but I believe it to be accurate.

After that Finding the Law stood on its own. West had trouble deciding what designation the book should carry as a matter of bibliographic record. They wanted to retain a connection to its noble roots in the old book, but the connection was hard to capture. The edition ended up as Finding the Law, 10^th edition. It was only the second edition of Finding the Law, and there was no 10^th edition of How to Find the Law, so the edition statement was arbitrary. I tried to explain all of this in a Foreword. But who reads the Foreword?

For what was called the 11^th edition of Finding the Law, I asked Beth Edinger of the Boalt Hall Law School reference staff to work with me. I wanted a co-author who was young enough to be part of the digital age, someone for whom online searching was natural. Beth fit the bill. She was both savvy and had a caustic wit that I enjoyed. Together she and I produced both the 10^th and 11^th editions. We tried to make the text readable and relevant. Adoptions were healthy and we faced the 21st century with optimism.

But students stopped reading books on research. All law schools had programs in Research and Writing, but the writing aspect waxed while the research component waned. If there are only going to be a few lectures on research, and the LEXIS and WESTLAW representatives are introducing the freely available Audis of research to each student, who is going to read a four hundred page book on building an engine? Would I have done so as a law student?

Beth and I agonized over this problem. I did not see the point in anything but a total rewrite for the next edition. Beth agreed but neither of us could bring ourself to do it. Morris and Kent had continued publishing the Nutshell on Legal Research and, notably, Kent finished a rewrite of the old, How to Find the Law, when he published Principles of Legal Research: Successor to How to Find the Law. Kent?s thorough, careful work won the Joseph P. Andrews Award from the American Association of Law Libraries as outstanding contribution to bibliography that year. It was almost as if period were being placed at the end of the great old book?s sentences.

After much thought, Beth and I are letting Finding the Law go. The world of textbooks in general is in flux, but I do not see a role for a standard textbook on legal research in it. I continue to believe in the value of research instruction, but it will not come via the standard printed textbook. That day is gone. Working with Morris was an honor. Watching Kent become a major figure in the field has been a delight. Writing with Beth was a treat. I wish that there were an honorable way to send Finding the Law off with a better salute, but let this column serve as its eulogy.

Sisyphean though it may prove, I am working on a new, totally different book on legal research. It will not truly be a book in the traditional sense, but it will look like one. If it works, it will come at things in an entirely different way. If it does not work, I plan to have fun trying. But for now, farewell Finding the Law. You were a grand adventure.

FORTUNE, Newfoundland (AP) ? The Canadian Hurricane Centre says the center of Tropical Storm Leslie has made landfall in Fortune, Newfoundland.

Meteorologist Bob Robichaud says the potent storm touched down at about 8:30 a.m. AST (7:30 a.m. EST, 1130 GMT) as it continued to barrel north-northeast.

He says a swath of the province from Fortune, on the Burin Peninsula, all the way east to St. John's on the Avalon Peninsula was getting pounded with stiff winds and heavy rains.

Winds were still building, with the St. John's airport recording hurricane-force gusts of up to 81 mph (131 kph), while waves were reaching 10 yards (meters) at an offshore buoy.

There were widespread power outages in St. John's and communities along the southeastern coast of the Avalon Peninsula.

Heavy rains also drenched province's western portion.

Perhaps you have used subliminal messaging for success in some areas of your life but nonetheless can't quite appreciate how money attraction works? It Will not Do This Like a great many other areas of development when using subliminals it is important to note that you'll most likely not wake up with a mysterious check in the mail the morning after using a money attraction subliminal. There are a lot of stories about people receiving mysterious checks through the mail or coming into massive sums of money out of the blue - either when listening to subliminals, or when using some sort of tool to help them with the law of attraction. This sadly is rare, and is the exception, rather than the standard result. The truth is money attraction is more of a gradual process, and works better in a couple of days and a few weeks than the instant you start out listening. How It Actually Works Again subliminal audio is a gradual process and is designed to change your thoughts and beliefs about money and align your subconscious mind to focus on bringing money into your life. This occurs naturally, and can not be forced.This is why it requires different amounts of time for everyone - many people have a lot more anxieties and mental blockages about money and this accordingly takes longer for them to really shed them and focus on money in a constructive way. It works in 3 simple ways: To focus you on money in a positive way and really make you more determined than ever before to bring money by the bucket load into your life. To align your subconscious mind completely to your money attraction goals. Your whole mind and body will be completely aligned on bringing money into your life - making it much more likely to occur. Ultimately it will align your mind fully so that you believe in the law of attraction 100%. You will totally believe that it is possible for YOU to bring money into your life through the power of your thoughts. Only when you really believe this does it actually become possible.
