Auger Google Earth/Sky News
In reverse chronological order

October 2009
The file Published_Auger_Events_Sky.kmz has been updated to add a layered composite image of the Centaurus A AGN, an animation of the Cen A supermassive black hole, and to correct the scaling of the Cen A VLA image, which was too large.

Google has updated the imagery used in
Argentina such that all of the Pierre Auger Observatory area is now
imaged at fairly high resolution. As a consequence, parts of the
array previously lacking detail now explicitly show structures not
previously seen, such as the Los Morados and Loma Amarilla
fluorescence telescopes, as well as the two Central Laser
Facilities. But also the imagery did not exactly coincide with the
exact known measured coordinates of these facilities, so that new
Google Earth model files were produced with the structures slightly
shifted to match the Google Earth imagery.
The following Auger South model files
have been updated to reflect this: Pierre_Auger_Observatory_English.kmz, Observatorio_Pierre_Auger_Espanol.kmz, Pierre_Auger_Observatorium_Deutsch.kmz, Osservatorio_Pierre_Auger_Italiano.kmz and Auger_tour.kmz .

A new Google Earth/Sky movie is available:
25 May 2009
This Auger Google Earth Web Site was reorganized to match the style of the official Auger Web Site.
9 March 2009
The Auger North model files have been updated to reflect
the evolving plan for the possible Northern Auger tank positions, on a sqrt(2)
mile grid over 8,000 sq. miles (thanks to Fred Sarazin for the updated
coordinates!). The model files affected are:
Auger North model in English: Pierre_Auger_Observatory_North.kmz
Auger North model in Spanish: Observatorio_Pierre_Auger_Norte.kmz
Auger North model in German: Pierre_Auger_Observatorium_Nord.kmz
Auger North model in Italian: Osservatorio_Pierre_Auger_Nord.kmz
5 November 2008
The Auger South model files have been updated to reflect
the positions of the tanks deployed as of the end of October 2008. These are Pierre_Auger_Observatory_English.kmz, Observatorio_Pierre_Auger_Espanol.kmz, Pierre_Auger_Observatorium_Deutsch.kmz,
and Osservatorio_Pierre_Auger_Italiano.kmz.
4 March 2008
The Auger South model files have been updated to reflect
the positions of the tanks deployed as of February 2008. These are Pierre_Auger_Observatory_English.kmz, Observatorio_Pierre_Auger_Espanol.kmz, Pierre_Auger_Observatorium_Deutsch.kmz,
and Osservatorio_Pierre_Auger_Italiano.kmz.
Two new movies of Google Earth/Sky exploration are
available:
Exploration in Google Sky of the arrival directions of some
of the highest-energy events in the direction of the Centaurus A active
galactic nucleus (about 31 MB): Auger_GoogleSky.wmv .
A history using Google Earth of Auger tank deployment from
2002 to 2008 (about 21 MB): SDTankHistory.wmv .
21 December 2007
The arrival directions of the most energetic Auger events (above 57 EeV) are now viewable in Google Sky: Published_Auger_Events_Sky.kmz .
The proposed Auger North model has been translated into Spanish (gracias a Jose Bellido!): Observatorio_Pierre_Auger_Norte.kmz, into German (danke a Markus Risse!): Pierre_Auger_Observatorium_Nord.kmz, and into Italian (grazie a Daniela Maurizio e i studenti della Classe 4C del Liceo Scientifico E. Majorana di Moncalieri (Torino)!): Osservatorio_Pierre_Auger_Nord.kmz.
11 December 2007
An Italian translation of the Auger Google Earth model files is now available (grazie
per la traduzione a Daniela Maurizio e i studenti della Classe 4C del Liceo Scientifico E. Majorana di Moncalieri (Torino)!).
6 December 2007
A new file of placemarks has been created for the proposed Auger North model in English: Pierre_Auger_Observatory_North.kmz
The bank of deployed surface detector stations
in Pierre_Auger_Observatory_English.kmz has been updated to reflect the status of the Observatory as of November 2007. Small graphical improvements have been made (new tank symbols, new Loma Amarilla 3D model, all images are now embedded in the pop-up explanation boxes). The changes have been propagated to the Spanish, German and Italian models as well.
New events seen with 4 fluorescence detectors have been added to the bank of Auger events in 3D.
24 August 2007
A German translation of the Auger Google Earth model files is now available (dank
Karl-Heinz Kampert für die Übersetzung!).
Movies of Google Earth explorations of Auger are now available.
1 May 2007
A bank of Auger events in 3D is now available.
17 April 2007
A Spanish translation of the Auger Google Earth model files is now available (gracias
a José Bellido por la traducción!).
A "Tour of Auger" is now available, suitable to use in public presentations to
describe the Observatory (thanks to Paul Sommers).
Google Earth can now be
used to view selected actual Auger events in 3D. |
