In order to find out what this mysterious energy really is, astronomers need to compare astrophysical observations that are at first sight completely unrelated. |
The study of these energetic particles will broaden our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solar system, as well as of the astrophysical processes involved. |
The research solves an astrophysical puzzle that has baffled scientists for over 120 years since the spicules were first discovered. |
A particle with the properties that the PVLAS experiment may have observed contradicts several astrophysical experiments. |
One of the astrophysical objectives will then be to solve the central engine of the active galaxy nuclei. |
Many astrophysical domains profit from this spectacular advance in astronomical instrumentation. |
