Title: Plasma and planetary science instrumentation at the IWF: SMILE, Comet Interceptor, JUICE and BepiColombo

Abstract:
The Institut für Weltraumforschung (IWF) in Graz, Austria, has been developing space instruments for more than 50 years. In recent years, the institute has been contributing to a number of plasma and planetary missions. This talk will focus on four missions: (1) the ESA/CAS Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) mission, (2) the ESA Comet Interceptor mission, (3) the ESA JUICE mission, and (4) the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission.
An overview of the IWF instrumental contribution for each these four missions will be presented, respectively (1) the EBOX for the Soft X-ray imager, (2) the MANiaC mass spectrometer and DFP flux-gate magnetometers, (3) the MAGSCA scalar optical magnetometer and (4) the PICAM ion mass spectrometer. For each instrument, an in-depth explanation of their working principle will be provided.

Title: Results from the ALMA internal development study on uv coverage assessment and scheduling

Abstract: This development study started in 2020 and has now submitted its final report to the review panel. In this talk I will present a “sneak preview” of the results which consist mostly of suggestions for adjustments to ALMA scheduling, QA0, and QA2 to achieve better uv coverage and image quality. I will also introduce our new uv coverage QA tool “assess_ms”.

Title: Pursuing Sources of Cosmic High-energy Neutrinos
Abstract:
Cosmic high-energy neutrinos are expected to be a smoking-gun signature to identify the origin of high-energy cosmic rays. IceCube experiment reported detection of cosmic high-energy neutrinos in 2013, the origin of which became a new mystery in astrophysics. In order to identify the cosmic neutrino sources, multi-messenger observational and analysis technics are now rapidly developing. In this talk, I will review the progress of high-energy neutrino astrophysics, discuss high-energy neutrino emission model in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei, and introduce our effort to identify neutrino sources using optical observational data.

Title:Eyes on the Invisible: Charting New Horizons with the Event Horizon Telescope

Abstract:The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has captured the first image of a black hole’s event horizon in the galaxy M87, and subsequently, in the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way, SgrA. More recently, the collaboration has released the first follow-up image of M87, utilizing observations from April 2018. The EHT has also revolutionized our understanding of the relativistic jets commonly present in active galactic nuclei, revealing the processes governing the jet formation, collimation and acceleration with an unprecedented angular resolution. The upcoming next-generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT) is poised to significantly upgrade the current system by adding new stations and introducing multi-frequency observational capabilities. These will notably improve the ngEHT’s angular resolution, dynamic range, and overall coverage. This expansion is crucial for enabling the ngEHT to create the first movies of black holes, a leap forward in understanding the processes of black hole accretion and the formation of relativistic jets. In addition, the ngEHT’s advanced features will be instrumental in exploring alternative theories to General Relativity and will expand our observational reach to include potentially a dozen new black holes. By adding an orbiting antenna, the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX), a potential NASA mission, will discover and measure the bright and narrow “photon ring” that is predicted to exist in images of black holes, and fully encodes the space-time metric.
