GRB 090423: probably the birth of a black hole
New Gamma-Ray Burst Smashes Cosmic Distance Record
"The burst occurred at 3:55 a.m. EDT on April 23rd. Swift quickly pinpointed the explosion, allowing telescopes on Earth to target the burst before its afterglow faded away. Astronomers working in Chile and the Canary Islands independently measured the explosion's redshift. It was 8.2, smashing the previous record of 6.7 set by an explosion in September 2008. A redshift of 8.2 corresponds to a distance of 13.035 billion light years.
"We're seeing the demise of a star -- and probably the birth of a black hole -- in one of the universe's earliest stellar generations," says Derek Fox at Pennsylvania State University."

GRB 090423: probably the birth of a black hole
New Gamma-Ray Burst Smashes Cosmic Distance Record
"The burst occurred at 3:55 a.m. EDT on April 23rd. Swift quickly pinpointed the explosion, allowing telescopes on Earth to target the burst before its afterglow faded away. Astronomers working in Chile and the Canary Islands independently measured the explosion's redshift. It was 8.2, smashing the previous record of 6.7 set by an explosion in September 2008. A redshift of 8.2 corresponds to a distance of 13.035 billion light years.
"We're seeing the demise of a star -- and probably the birth of a black hole -- in one of the universe's earliest stellar generations," says Derek Fox at Pennsylvania State University."

It's causing a different type of contagion, too -- in the financial markets. The outbreak comes at a perilous time for a global economy already battered by the financial crisis."

"豚インフルエンザ感染が確認された死者の数を７人と明らかにした。これまで２０人としていたが、修正した。
感染の疑いのある死者がなお１５２人。
６人が死亡したトラルパン地区には、国立呼吸器疾患研究所病院がある。
コルドバ保健相は「今後２４時間のうちに、残りのケースの検査結果が出るだろう」と語った
またコルドバ保健相は２７日の記者会見で、南部ベラクルス州ペローテ市で今月２日に発症が確認された男児から豚インフルエンザウイルスが検出されたことを明らかにした。メキシコ政府はこれまで、４月１３日に南部オアハカ州で出た死者を「最初の犠牲者」としていたが、実際にはそれより１０日以上早く、感染が始まっていた。 "

やじうまAV Watch:浜崎あゆみのUSBアルバム「NEXT LEVEL」の中身って? −発売から1カ月経ったけど、購入してみた 定価6,800円。
USBメモリをパソコンに装着してみると、ボリュームラベルが「NEXT LEVEL」と、「REMOVABLE」の2つのドライブがマウントされる。もちろん、「NEXT LEVEL」の方にアルバムが入っており、473MB。
「REMOVABLE」領域は1.49GBあり、通常のUSBメモリとして利用できる。
「NEXT LEVEL」のルートには、「BOOKLET」、「VIDEO」、「MUSIC」の3つのフォルダがある。「BOOKLET」には、ブックレットをPDF化した「NEXT LEVEL.pdf」(5.98MB/11ページ)画像の解像度はXGA程度。
「MUSIC」フォルダには、320kbpsのMP3で14曲(ファイル)入。
「VIDEO」フォルダには、6曲のPVが拡張子「m4v」で収録されている。ビットレートは約1.6Mbps。映像は640×480ドット/29.97fpsを、H.264で収録。音声はAAC(16bit/44.1kHz)で、ビットレート128kbpsとなっている。さすがに、ビットレートがそれほど高くないので、圧縮ノイズが見受けられるシーンも多い"

GRB 090423: probably the birth of a black hole
New Gamma-Ray Burst Smashes Cosmic Distance Record
"The burst occurred at 3:55 a.m. EDT on April 23rd. Swift quickly pinpointed the explosion, allowing telescopes on Earth to target the burst before its afterglow faded away. Astronomers working in Chile and the Canary Islands independently measured the explosion's redshift. It was 8.2, smashing the previous record of 6.7 set by an explosion in September 2008. A redshift of 8.2 corresponds to a distance of 13.035 billion light years.
"We're seeing the demise of a star -- and probably the birth of a black hole -- in one of the universe's earliest stellar generations," says Derek Fox at Pennsylvania State University."

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/swift/bursts/cosmic_record.html
A faint gamma-ray burst (GRB) captured last Thursday by NASA’s Swift satellite has smashed the record for the earliest, most-distant known object in the universe.
"The GRB's measured redshift of about 8.2 beats the previous GRB record holder, a burst seen last year with a redshift of 6.7. T
he most distant galaxy with a well-measured redshift is at 6.96.
NASA says it will issue a statement about the discovery on Tuesday (April 28th). April 25, 2009" - SkyandTelescope.com

"We observed the field of GRB 090429B (Swift trigger 350854; Ukwatta et al., GCN 9281) simultaneously in g'r'i'z'JHK with GROND (Greiner et al. 2008, PASP 120, 405) mounted at the 2.2 m ESO/MPI telescope at La Silla Observatory (Chile).
Observations started at 05:43 UT, ~13 minutes after the GRB trigger and continued until the source reached the 20 deg horizon limit. "

"The Most Distant Object Yet Discovered in the Universe
ESO's Very Large Telescope has shown that a faint gamma-ray burst detected last Thursday is the signature of the explosion of the earliest, most distant known object in the Universe (a redshift of 8.2). The explosion apparently took place more than 13 billion years ago, only about 600 million years after the Big Bang."
