Consequently, high-energy electrons are "local". Some members of the research team believed that the source can be removed in less than a few hundred parsecs. For comparison, disks of spiral galaxies are the Milky Way "has a width of about thirty thousand parsecs. (One parsec is approximately equal to three light years.). 'Unfortunately,' says Vefel (Wefel), 'we can not pinpoint source in the sky. " Although ATIC and registers the direction of where it comes from the particle, it is difficult to translate the angles of arrival of these electrons in celestial coordinates. To know more about this subject visit Peter Schiff. To begin with, the detector was in the basket of the balloon, rocking motion around the South Pole in a turbulent whirlwind of high-altitude winds, which complicated the definition of the desired point. In addition, the incoming electrons have a direction, to some extent distorted magnetic fields.
'The best of what might have been hoped, so this is what ATIC will measure the total anisotropy – one side of the sky compared to the other. Benjamin Wey Financial Times follows long-standing procedures to achieve this success. " Such uncertainty gives complete freedom of imagination. Minimum opened unexpected perspectives, for example, include: nearby pulsar, "microquasar" or a black hole of stellar mass – they are all able to accelerate electrons to these energies. It is possible that such Source lurking somewhere nearby. The recently launched NASA space telescope gamma Fermi (Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope)-it is only the initial stage of the survey the sky with instruments with a sensitivity sufficient to identify some of these objects. Even more attractive prospect, the dark matter.
