Över 1000 forskningartiklar baserade på ESO-data publicerade 2002
10 maj 2023
Observationer utförda vid ESO:s observatorier ledde till mer än 1 000 vetenskapliga artiklar 2022. Trots att ESO:s observationsanläggningar stängdes eller drevs med reducerad kapacitet under flera månader under pandemin, förblev antalet granskade artiklar anmärkningsvärt stabilt. En färsk rapport från ESO Library and Information Center visar att det är sjätte året i rad som antalet artiklar har överstigit 1000.
De mest betydelsefulla bidragen till dessa publikationer kommer från ESO:s Very Large Telescope (VLT) och VLT Interferometer (VLTI) vid Paranal Observatory, vilka bidrog till över 580 artiklar. Bland höjdpunkterna märks upptäckten av en ny typ av stjärnexplosion som benämns mikronova och observationer av ett supermassivt svart hål som gömmer sig i en ring av stoft. Under de senaste tre åren har Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) varit det mest produktiva VLT-instrumentet, en trend som har fortsatt under 2022 med mer än 160 artiklar.
Data från Visible and Infrared Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) och VLT Survey Telescope (VST) [1] som också är belägna vid Paranalobservatoriet, bidrog till nästan 150 artiklar. Cirka 17 % av dessa utnyttjade observationer från båda teleskopen. Teleskopen vid ESO:s La Silla-observatorium bidrog till cirka 175 studier.
År 2022 tillhandahöll Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), där ESO är en partner, data till nästan 450 artiklar. Liksom under de senaste två åren utnyttjade ungefär hälften av dem (49 %) data som erhållits genom observationstid som astronomer baserade i Europa tilldelades. Av särskilt intresse under 2022 var att ALMA upptäckte den största molekylen hittills i en planetbildande skiva.
Fram till december 2022 var ESO även partner till Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) [2], beläget nära ALMA på Chajnantorplatån i Chiles Atacamaregion. Observationerna, som delvis eller uteslutande erhölls under ESO:s observationstid. ledde till hela 63% av de artikalr som publcierades med teleksopet under 2022. Bland annat gav APEX en ny bild av kalla gasmoln i Flamnebulosan i Orion.
Antalet artiklar som delvis eller uteslutande baseras på arkivdata har ökat kontinuerligt under de senaste åren och nådde 2022 nästan 40 %. Framför allt förlitade sig 24 % av artiklarna på enbart arkivdata, utan att inkludera några ESO-observationer som författarna själva inhämtat. Dessa siffror visar den stora betydelsen av ESO Science Archive.
Dessa imponerande publikationssiffror belyser ESO:s viktiga bidrag till det astronomiska samfundet och dess strävan att främja vår förståelse av universum.
Mer information
Statistiken som presenteras här kommer från telbib, en databas med faktagranskade artiklar publicerade av ESO:s användare, utvecklad och kurerad av ESO Library and Information Centre. Alla artiklar granskas noggrant av kuratorerna innan de läggs till databasen för att säkerställa att alla telbib-papper delvis eller uteslutande använder data från ESO-anläggningar som fick observationstid av ESO. Det offentliga telbib-gränssnittet ger visualiseringar av sökresultat, inklusive direkta grafer och fördefinierade diagram.
Noter
[1] VST-projektet var ett samarbete mellan ESO och Capodimonte Astronomical Observatory vid det italienska nationella institutet för astrofysik (INAF). Sedan 1 oktober 2022 tillhör projektet endast INAF och huseras av ESO på Paranal.
[2] Sedan den 1 januari 2023 är ESO värd för och driver APEX på uppdrag av Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy.
