Be an Integral astronomer - competition
20.04.09 - To mark the International Year of Astronomy, ESA is launching a
special competition for secondary school students and undergraduates.
Participants will use data obtained by the Integral space observatory to
investigate objects in one of the most active regions of our Galaxy.
The Integral space observatory keeps a close watch on high-energy emission from
the Milky Way’s Galactic bulge. This ever-changing area contains a wealth of
astronomical sources that release high-energy gamma and X-rays. By participating
in this competition, students can explore the fascinating Galactic bulge and
join a community of astronomers studying the violent and exotic processes that
define this region of our Galaxy.
The competition was launched during ‘Around the World in 80 Telescopes’, a live
24-hour webcast that took place as part of ‘100 Hours of Astronomy’, a
cornerstone project for the International Year of Astronomy 2009.
About the competition
Visit the competition pages using the link in the menu on the right to find out
more. Here you will find details of what the competition entails, prizes and how
to participate. Individual entries will be accepted and judged by a panel of ESA
experts in two categories: secondary school students and undergraduates.
Participants have until 14 August 2009 to submit their entry.
