Pulsar Wind Nebula
Pulsar wind nebulae are the result of the interaction between the wind of relativistic charged particles emitted by pulsars and their surrounding interstellar medium. Using the AGILE satellite, Pellizzoni et al. (p. 663, published online 31 December) detected extended gamma-ray emission between 100 megaelectron volts and 3 gigaelectron volts from the 10,000-year-old Vela pulsar wind nebula. This detection sets constraints on the relativistic particle wind of pulsars, its energetic content, and its interactions with the surrounding medium. It also suggests that pulsar wind nebulae could form a subset of the yet unidentified galactic gamma-ray sources.

Измерение оптической поляризации света от источника гамма-вспышки.

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v462/n7274/abs/nature08590.html
Вверху: схема RINGO. Внизу: сам прибор и снимок, полученный им 2 января. Сторона квадрата – 4,6 угловых минут. Кольцо от гамма-вспышки помечено буквой G. Цифры от 1 до 6 – объекты на переднем плане, также попавшие в объектив прибора и обращённые в колечки. Их оптическая поляризация оказалась равной 1-4%, а это заметно меньше, чем у послесвечения гамма-всплеска. Авторы открытия отмечают, что вероятность случайного отклонения в поляризации наблюдаемых объектов – 0,1% (иллюстрации Liverpool John Moores University).

Cloudy Down South

Neptune receives much less radiation from the Sun than either Jupiter or Saturn. Like these two large planets, though, it has a meteorologically active atmosphere, with clouds, storms  and possibly a global circulation pattern. Most of Neptune's clouds evolve on a time scale of hours. One cloud, however, has appeared to persist since at least 1989, when it was first  detected by the spacecraft Voyager 2. This cloud is located within a few degrees of the south pole, where the troposphere  is known to be warmer and where, by analogy with Saturn's south  polar environment, researchers suspect that a vortex may exist.  Using the Keck Telescope in Hawaii, Luszcz-Cook et al. observed Neptune's south pole in the near-infrared, Images taken over 3 days in July 2007 show the south polar cloud splitting in two and then coming together again. The altitude observed is consistent with cloud formation due to upwelling and condensation of methane gas. Thus, rather than representing a single stable cloud, the bright feature observed by Voyager marks a site of persistent cloud activity, which may be related to a Neptunian south polar vortex and an organized circulation pattern.
