LIGO and Virgo extend the catalog of gravitational waves
2021.11.17 - Marek Pawłowski
In the data from the third observatory campaign of Advanced-LIGO and Advanced-Virgo observatories (from November 2019 to March 2020), another 35 sources of gravitational waves were found, thus extending their list to 90 objects. 32 sources come from the merger of two black holes, and 3 from the merger of the black hole system with a neutron star. Scientists from the NCBJ Astrophysics Department are participating in the work of the LVK consortium.

The concentration of radionuclides in the polar air as a source of valuable information
2021.11.09 - Marek Pawłowski
Scientists from NCBJ and the Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences have published the results of many years of research on radionuclide concentrations in the polar region and in Poland. The collected data enriches the knowledge about the movement and mixing of air masses on a regional to global scale, and about environmental dust.

”Speed is our domain” – advanced simulations in vehicle design
2021.11.05 - Marek Pawłowski
Designers ideas can be verified without incurring the cost of building a prototype. Numerical simulations using high-power computers accelerate calculations up to several hundred times compared to standard workstations. The Świerk IT Center (CIŚ) at NCBJ offers such opportunities. They were presented on the example of a simulation of air flow around an electric motorcycle designed by students.

J-PET: positron annihilation allows for even more precise imaging of lesions
2021.11.04 - Marek Pawłowski
For the first time in the world, the creators of the Krakow-based J-PET showed how to obtain additional valuable information about the location of lesions. The method is based on the analysis of processes involving positronia arising in the patient’s body. The first very promising images have already been obtained, and the results have been published, among others in the journal Nature Communications. Scientists from NCBJ are the co-authors of the new method.

A new marker for imaging cancer cells
2021.11.03 - Marek Pawłowski
An international team of scientists, including scientists from the POLATOM Radioisotope Center of the National Center for Nuclear Research in Świerk, proposed the use of a new chemical compound[99mTc] Tc-DB15 for imaging prostate and breast cancer.

HELP – a modern and standardized catalog of extra-galactic objects
2021.10.27 - Marek Pawłowski
An international team of scientists has provided scientists and enthusiasts with the most complete catalog of extragalactic objects to date, covering an area of over 3% of the full angle of the sky’s solid and containing 170 million sources. The modeling of their energy spectra was the responsibility of Ph. D. Katarzyna Małek from the NCBJ Astrophysics Department.
