Returning to Jinling from Qinghai, Xu Chuan took his research results with him and found his mentor.
Of course, accompanying him were Liu Xuan, a PhD fellow from the Department of Astronomy, and Qiu Chen, the deputy dean of the School of Astronomy and Space Sciences who came over after receiving the news.
If the dean hadn't gone out for a meeting, then it would have been the dean who came here this time.
His scientific research results this time are so important to the astronomical world that they are completely worthy of the dean's personal visit.
Whether it is the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem that can accurately calculate celestial information, or the discovery of a companion star in Betelgeuse's hydrogen envelope, they are all major events in the astronomical community.
Whether these things should be announced, how they should be announced, when they should be announced, how many details should be released, etc. all need to be discussed.
........
"Is there a companion star within Betelgeuse's hydrogen envelope?"
In the office, Chen Zhengping looked at his disciple with confusion. This was the first time he heard this news.
He didn't pay much attention to Xu Chuan's scientific research projects before. On the one hand, his own tungsten diselenide project was nearing completion. He was currently sorting out materials to prepare for the final project. He was so busy that he didn't have time to pay attention to this disciple.
project.
On the other hand, he sent Fan Pengyue to assist. With the help of this senior disciple, he did not need to worry too much about the scientific research project process.
As for the scientific research process and scientific research results, there is no point in worrying about it.
In mathematics, his disciple was already far ahead of him. He had read Xu-Weyl-berry's theorem over and over again, but he still could not fully understand it.
In other words, there aren't many parts he can understand.
Although there is no distinction between physics and mathematics, and those who engage in physics must also know some mathematics, but relatively speaking, all they know is basic mathematics.
This kind of in-depth proof paper for world-class conjectures is simply unrealistic for non-professional mathematicians to understand, and ordinary people don't even know those mathematical symbols.
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Judging from the current observation results and calculation results, Betelgeuse does have a companion star."
"I've never heard of this before, it's really surprising."
Chen Zhengping sighed, and then asked curiously: "Does this discovery have any impact?"
After all, he was not from the astronomy department, so he didn't know the impact of having an extra companion star on Betelgeuse, and he was a little curious.
Xu Chuan: "It's not clear yet, which is why I'm looking for you this time."
Hearing this, Chen Zhengping was a little confused again. Why did he ask him to do this? He was not from the astronomical world.
On the side, Qiu Chen, deputy dean of the School of Astronomy and Space Science, explained for Xu Chuan: "It has something to do with the supernova explosion of Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse is now in its old age and may explode as a supernova at any time in the future."
"Originally, the astronomical community's calculations were that the supernova explosion of Betelgeuse would not have an impact on the solar system and the earth. But now that there is an additional companion star, it is uncertain. It may affect Betelgeuse's magnetic pole, thereby causing the explosion.
The angle of the gamma rays creates a deviation that affects the Earth."
"These things need to be discussed with the school and then reported. If they are announced directly, it may have a big impact."
Upon hearing the news, Chen Zhengping was stunned and his breathing became heavier.
Good guy, this is really incredible news, no wonder we found him right away.
Of course, to put it mildly, this news may have little impact. After all, Betelgeuse is 640 light-years away and too far away from the earth. It is uncertain when it will erupt and what impact it will have.
Ordinary people would probably just take a glance at the news and discuss it for a few sentences.
But to be more serious, from a national or civilizational level, this is a matter related to the survival of mankind.
If the eruption angle of gamma rays is affected by this and is aimed at the Earth, then the entire Earth will suffer heavy damage.
The powerful energy contained in Gamma ray bursts is enough to destroy the earth's atmosphere. Without the protection of the atmosphere, the intense radiation can turn the earth into a Mars, leaving no vegetation and losing all life.
And humans who are currently unable to leave the earth will naturally not be able to escape.
Xu Chuan brought Qiu Chen, the deputy dean of the School of Astronomy and Space Science, to him, probably to discuss this matter.
But he had no idea about the news.
Because even if he knew it, he couldn't do anything. The only thing he could do was to report the news.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhengping looked at Qiu Chen and said, "Let's write this down for now. Dean Qiu, let the School of Astronomy and Space Science discuss it and then report it. As for whether it will be made public or not, it will be decided by
Let the higher ups decide, how about this?"
Qiu Chen nodded and said: "This is indeed the most appropriate way. In this way, after Dean Wu comes back the day after tomorrow, there will be a meeting here at the Astronomy Institute to discuss this matter again. Academician Chen and classmate Xu Chuan will come together
come on."
"Xu Chuan, go ahead. I won't go. I have something to do here."
With that said, Chen Zhengping looked at Xu Chuan and asked: "By the way, how is your own research going? Can your xu-weyl-berry theorem be used to calculate the information parameters of celestial bodies?"
In comparison, he was more concerned about this disciple's original academic research. After all, if it could succeed, it would give him a lot of leverage to win the Fields Medal.
Xu Chuan's scientific research project this time was apparently an astronomical project to observe Betelgeuse. Even if Betelgeuse had a companion star accidentally discovered, it was actually just incidental.
In fact, the root of this project lies in the expansion and extension of xu-weyl-berry's theorem, and its roots are still in the mathematics community.
As for the impact caused by Betelgeuse's companion star, it actually feels a bit far away. Even if it breaks out now, it will take more than 600 years for gamma rays to reach the earth.
Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that it exploded more than 600 years ago, but this probability is too low.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded and said: "This has been completed. It is now confirmed that after the Xu-Weyl-berry theorem is reversed, it can be used to calculate the celestial body's
Some parameter information, such as mass, diameter, volume, etc."
"Compared with previous calculation methods, the data calculated by this new method is much more accurate, and can improve the accuracy by six to seven levels."
"You are really fast in your research." Chen Zhengping sighed when he heard that he was successful, and then asked: "Are you ready to make this method fully public?"
Although this scientific research project to observe Betelgeuse is derived from the xu-weyl-berry theorem and has a special nature, the speed of producing results is really fast.
It has only been more than two months since the project was established.
For more than two months, other professors may have just set up their projects, and the project team has not even found the manpower, but he has already produced results.
This speed, even if there is green light from above to cooperate with the project, can still shock many people's jaws.
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "This should be announced, but it will have to wait until I finish writing the paper."
"As for the existence of a companion star in the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse, whether this is announced depends on how the country handles it. It may be important to say it is important, or it is not important to say it is not important."
"However, it should bring a lot of scientific research funds to the astronomical community. If it is announced, I am afraid that the eyes of the astronomical community around the world will fall on Betelgeuse in the next period of time."
Hearing this, Chen Zhengping and Qiu Chen smiled at the same time.
"Don't worry, when your paper is published, you will receive awards and bonuses from the country and the school."
"This result is expected to be able to apply for the second prize of the National Natural Science Award. When your computational method paper is released, you may get the first prize of the National Natural Science Award."
........
In the office, Xu Chuan chatted with his tutor and Qiu Chen, the deputy dean of the School of Astronomy and Space Sciences for a while, and after determining the preliminary methods for handling these matters, he left the office.
As for the observation data and scientific research information about Betelgeuse, including the method of calculating celestial parameters using the xu-weyl-berry theorem, these things were given to Qiu Chen for backup.
One is to take it back to study the impact of the companion star on Betelgeuse.
The second is to submit it to the National Astronomical Society to discuss whether the news that there is a companion star in Betelgeuse's hydrogen envelope should be fully announced.
However, for Xu Chuan, this scientific research project can almost be completed and submitted at this point.
Although subsequent observations of Betelgeuse's companion star have not yet been completed, it does not have much to do with him.
As Chen Zhengping said, the discovery of a companion star in Betelgeuse's hydrogen envelope was just incidental. The research object of his scientific research project is whether the xu-weyl-berry theorem can accurately calculate the parameter information of celestial bodies.
As for this part, he has now completed it. After Qinghai obtained comprehensive information about Betelgeuse, he has completed accurate calculations of part of the information and confirmed that the xu-weyl-berry theorem can be achieved.
At this point, the scientific research experiment was basically over. All that was left was for him to write the paper and submit it.
As for the impact of Betelgeuse's companion star on Betelgeuse, it actually has nothing to do with it.
Of course, if the astronomical community needs his help, such as some complex data calculations, he will still help.
He is also curious about whether the existence of the companion star will cause Betelgeuse to explode as a supernova in advance, or whether it will have an impact on the magnetic pole when a supernova explodes in the future.
.........
At NTU, in a single dormitory, Xu Chuan was thinking about how to write this thesis.
Writing a paper was easy for him, but he was a little confused about how to write the paper for this scientific research experiment.
Because this observation of Betelgeuse, in addition to confirming that the xu-weyl-berry theorem can accurately calculate the parameter information of distant celestial bodies, there are also two other important results.
One is the calculation results of Betelgeuse’s precise diameter, mass, volume and other parameters.
The other is the discovery of a companion star within the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse.
Of course, strictly speaking, the former should be placed at the end of the xu-weyl-berry theorem calculation paper as a data supplement.
But if you want to split it up and write a separate paper, that’s no problem.
So should I split it up and write it into three papers, or should I just combine it into one paper?
If it were anyone else, they would probably choose to write three papers without hesitation. After all, one more paper means more influence, and one more paper means hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of words of citations.
This will help increase your reputation.
But for Xu Chuan, this was of little help, so after thinking about it, he decided to write two papers.
The first article is the method of calculating celestial information using the xu-weyl-berry theorem.
The other article is the discovery of a companion star within the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse.
As for the calculation results of Betelgeuse's precise diameter, mass, volume and other parameters, I will leave them to the first article to supplement the data.
Just write a paper on it alone, it's not worth it.
Moreover, he doesn't care much about the results of the astronomical world.
