Tutorial Session 指南部分
How do I look for interstellar dust particles?
我该怎样去寻找星际尘埃颗粒呢?
When a hypervelocity particle enters the top surface of an aerogel collector, it makes a track many times its own size as it slows and stops in the aerogel.
当一个超高速微粒进入气凝胶收集器的顶部表面时,它会减速并停在气凝胶内部并制造一个比自身大许多倍的轨迹。
The particles themselves are too small to see. You will be using a Virtual Microscope (VM) to look for the tracks made by the particles rather than the particles themselves. The tracks are just below the surface of the aerogel.
微粒本身太小了根本无法直接看到。你会用到一个“虚拟显微镜”(VM)来寻找那些微粒造成的轨迹而不是去找微粒本身。轨迹就在气凝胶表层之下。
We have prepared a tutorial to help you learn how to identify particle tracks and use the VM. The VM is very easy to use, as you'll see in the next pages.
我们准备了一个指南来帮助你学习如何用VM识别微粒的轨迹。如同你在下一页所看到的,VM使用很简单。
For the following training tutorial, we have used tracks of extraterrestrial particles that were captured in the ODCE collector on the Russian space station Mir, and tracks of submicron dust particles shot into aerogel at 20 km/sec using a Van Der Graaf dust accelerator in Heidelberg, Germany. It may turn out that the tracks of real interstellar dust will look quite different. They may be deeper or shallower, wider or narrower. We will see once we have the first few examples of real interstellar dust!
在随后的培训指南里,我们使用的轨迹是俄罗斯和平号空间站上的ODCE收集器捕获的地外微粒轨迹,和一些使用德国海德堡“范德夫冈”尘埃加速器以20千米/秒的速度射入气凝胶的亚微米微粒的轨迹。它们将说明真正的星际尘埃轨迹看上去会是差别显著的。它们或深或浅、或宽或窄。一旦我们获得几个真正的星际尘埃样本就明白了。

从气凝胶的顶部看到的轨迹类似这样子。由于显微镜是从表面开始逐渐往气凝胶内部聚焦的,所以在影片中看到的轨迹差不多是个圆形的截面。

从侧面看轨迹是不是像个萝卜?尘埃微粒就停在“根尖”的地方。
