Pictured above, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) image of the field of GRB 060218 well prior to its Swift trigger is shown on the left, while the same field, taken by the orbiting Swift satellites' ultraviolet telescope after the Swift trigger, is shown on the right.
The oddball GRB is visible in the center of the right image.
Subsequent observations found a redshift for the transient of z=0.033, showing it to be only about 440 million light years away, relatively nearby compared to typical GRBs.
Whether GRB 060218 represents a new type of gamma ray burst, a new type of supernova, or an unusual link between the GRBs and supernovas has become an instant topic of research.
Kann mir jemand erklären, was an den Bildern speziell ist? Ich seh mal keinen Unterschied, obwohl das Teil sich ja täglich ändern soll. Haben sie einfach zwo gleichzeitige Bilder mit verschiedenem Spektrum genommen?
