We present the first report on an innovative new project named "RAD@home", a citizen-science research collaboratory built on free web-services like Facebook, Google, Skype, NASA Skyview, NED, TGSS etc.. This is the first of its kind in India, a zero-funded, zero-infrastructure, human-resource network to educate and directly involve in research, hundreds of science-educated under-graduate population of India, irrespective of their official employment and home-location with in the country. Professional international collaborators are involved in follow up observation and publication of the objects discovered by the collaboratory. We present here ten newly found candidate episodic radio galaxies, already proposed to GMRT, and ten more interesting cases which includes, bent-lobe radio galaxies located in new Mpc-scale filaments, likely tracing cosmological cluster accretion from the cosmic web. Two new Speca-like rare spiral-host large radio galaxies have also been been reported here. Early analyses from our follow up observations with the Subaru and XMM-Newton telescopes have revealed that Speca is likely a new entry to the cluster and is a fast rotating, extremely massive, star forming disk galaxy. Speca-like massive galaxies with giant radio lobes, are possibly remnants of luminous quasars in the early Universe or of first supermassive black holes with in first masssve galaxies. As discoveries of Speca-like galaxies did not require new data from big telescopes, but free archival radio-optical data, these early results demonstrate the discovery potential of RAD@home and how it can help resource-rich professionals, as well as demonstrate a model of academic-growth for resource-poor people in the underdeveloped regions via Internet.
翻译:我们提交了首份有关创新新项目“RAD@home”的报告,这是一个公民科学研究协作室,它建在Facebook、Google、Skype、NASA Skyview、NED、TGSS等免费网络服务上。这是印度首个此类项目,它由零供资、零基础设施、人力资源网络来教育和直接参与研究,印度有数百名受过科学教育的本科生人口,而不论其在国内的官方职位和住址如何。专业国际协作者参与跟踪观察和出版协作室发现的物体。我们在这里发现了10个新发现的候选缩写无线电星系,已经向GMRT提出建议,还有10个更有趣的案例,其中包括位于新Mpc规模的紫色无线电星系,可能从宇宙网络中追踪宇宙集群。有两个新的Speca-类似螺旋的罕见大型无线电天文星系模型在这里首次被报道。我们从Subaru和XMM-Newton望远镜中进行的后续观察结果分析,显示Spremocial发现,Speca是Spelish syal 类的巨型星系的巨型星系, 数据进入了这些星系的巨型的巨型的星系, 数据流数据可能成为了一个巨型的巨型的巨型星系。
