Campania Whites – Best Wines from my recent trip (Part Two)
Piero Mastroberardino (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
My recent 18-day trip to Italy was filled with so many great wines; this is part two of my report, focusing on the best whites I tried from Campania.
One important thing that the newly released 2012 whites from Campania and other great white wine regions such as Marche and Alto Adige (I'll review these whites in my next post) have is their amazing quality, as 2012 is an excellent, even outstanding vintage for white wines not only in these areas, but all throughout Italy. I'll write a post about this vintage soon; it really is amazing, but I've had 2012 whites from Piemonte and Umbria – regions better known for red wines – that are first rate and among the best I've tasted in recent years from these areas.
So imagine how good the 2012 whites are from zones such as Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino in Campania. Ironically, it didn't seem as though 2012 was going to be much of a year at all for distinctive whites, especially early on, as the warm temperatures rushed ripening a bit. But according to several producers I spoke with there, rains in September slowed things down and allowed more hangtime, thus resulting in wines of more pronounced aromatics and better natural acidity, as compared to 2011, a very nice, but not great vintage (the 2011 whites are rich and slightly more alcoholic, so they grab your attention, but as a rule they will not age as long as they are not as well structured).
Now on to the wines. I have just written an article on Campanian whites for the 2014 Italian supplement to Decanter magazine in England, so you will be able to read a more detailed analysis of some of these wines when my text is published in February. For now, I will offer a few brief thoughts on a few of the best I tasted, starting with the 2012 Greco di Tufo from Feudi di San Gregorio. There has been a lot of excitement at this esteemed firm over the past several years, as proprietor Antonio Capaldo has been investing in a great deal of research in vineyard and cellar work, bringing in Pier Paolo Sirch to ideintify the finest lots of Greco, Fiano and Falanghina (I tasted one single vineyard offering of Falanghina – a wine that will not be released on the market – and was excited to taste such a distinctive wine, one with great persistence and ideal harmony with this variety. Falanghina has been a very successful wine in many markets over the past few years; I think we are on the forefront of greatness with this wine).
The 2012 Serrocielo Falanghina from Feudi is a solid 4-star (excellent) wine, displaying distinct aromas of green tea and chamomile along with notes of lime and melon. The Pietracalda Fiano from 2012 offers inviting perfumes of lemon peel and pineapple; there is also distinct minerality and a lengthy finish. The Cutizzi Greco di Tufo, which I have reviewed in the Decanter article is one of the finest produced to date, but the real surprise here is the classic Greco di Tufo from 2012. Capaldo has begun a new program of single vineyard offerings, beginning with the 2012 vintage. He decided to start with Fiano, while the best sites for Greco were blended into one wine. This is as good an entry level Greco di Tufo as you will find, with lemon zest, Anjou pear and lemon zest aromas along with a touch of almond. Offering a rich mid-palate and notable persistence, this is a delightful wine for clams or other shellfish and is a wonderful value, given the $22 retail price (approximate) on American shelves (the wine is just coming into the market, so it may be another month or so before you find it. Palm Bay is the importer).
Mastroberardino, is of course, the most historic winery in Campania and the one that made today's explosion of Greco and Fiano possible, thanks in great part to the work of Antonio Mastroberardino in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when his work in the vineyards helped save the varieties. His son Piero, current managing director of the firm, has respected his father's efforts and has expanded upon them; the lineup of white wines from Mastroberardino these days is outstanding.
Please take note of that last sentence; yes, the white wines from Mastroberardino are first-rate. Everyone knows that the winery has become world-famous for its magnificent Taurasi, a version that one would have to designate as the standard bearer for this wine. It's so famous that their whites are routinely overlooked; one could understand that ten or fifteen years ago, as the Mastroberardino whites back then were well made with good varietal character, but over the last decade or so, the wines have taken a noticeable leap in quality. Much of this is due, as Piero has told me numerous times, to the acquisition of new vineyards in various zones along with implementation of planting the best clones at these sites.
Briefly, the Mastroberardino 2012 whites are flawless, most notably the elegantly styled Greco di Tufo "Nova Serra" and the tantalizing Fiano di Avellino "Radici" (the favorite white of Piero from this vintage). Both wines have gorgeous varietal purity and the overall harmony is just beautiful. But I also need to mention the absolutely delicious Falanghina "Morabianca" from 2012; this is a relatively new project for the winery, as Piero and his team have planted this variety in Irpinia and not in Benevento, which is where many local producers source their Falanghina. This has an added richness in the mid-palate and a lengthy finish that give this wine its special character; this wine is also better than previous efforts due to additional vine age, so combine that with the excellence of the 2012 vintage and you have a very special wine! (Note: this wine is imported in the US by Winebow. You may not yet find the 2012 bottling, but it will arrive soon, if it hasn't already. Now if the importer could only be convinced to bring in the "Radici" Fiano and the "Nova Serra" Greco.)
Milena Pepe, Tenuta Cavalier Pepe (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
From Tenuta Cavalier Pepe, under the direction of the effervescent Milena Pepe, the 2012 whites that stand out are the Coda di Volpe "Bianco di Bellona" and the Greco di Tufo "Nestor." The latter has been a favorite of mine or some time now and is profiled in my book Beyond Barolo and Brunello: Italy's Most Distinctive Wines; the 2012 is beautifully made. But it is the Coda di Volpe that really surprised me here, as this tends to be a variety that is not given the same care or respect as Greco or Fiano; indeed it is often used as a blending grape in Greco di Tufo or is the principal variety in Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco, a wine that is too often categorized as a summer sipper. But here was an example of Coda di Volpe with inviting aromas of lemon zest and magnolia flowers along with lively acidity, good persistence and a light touch of minerality. It's a lovely wine, one with simple charms and when I told the enologist how much I loved the wine, he did a little dance!
Other impressive 2012 whites from Campania I tasted were the Villa Raiano Fiano di Avellino "Alimata" and the Greco di Tufo "Contrada Marotta" (the latter is profiled in my Decanter article; this has become one of the best examples of its type over the past three vintages- the 2010 tasted during this trip was the finest Campanian white I tried; if you have a bottle, savor it, as it will be in fine shape for another 3-5 years). Also keep an eye on the classic level offerings of Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino from Villa Raiano from 2012; they are lovely wines, just a bit lighter than the cru offerings, with the Greco being especially noteworthy.
At Donnachiara, proprietor Ilaria Petitto was thrilled to have me taste her two new wines from 2012, the Fiano "Esoterico" and the Greco "Ostinato" that are limited production wines made from late harvest grapes picked in early November. The Fiano is an exotic wine, one that offers perfumes of honey, golden apple, mango and saffron and has excellent depth of fruit and is lush, almost oily on the palate. While her traditional Fiano di Avellino is treated only in stainless steel, this version is 20% barrique-fermented and then aged in barrique for 20 months. It's quite a statement. (Incidentally, this is not labeled as Fiano di Avellino, as it was not tasted with the commission that approves wines to be labeled as DOCG).
As for the Greco "Ostinato" (some of the grapes are from outside the approved Greco di Tufo zone, so it cannot be labeled as such), it is produced in a similar manner as the Fiano (the fermentation here is extremely cold and lasts 12 months); the wine displays exquisite aromas of orange zest, pineapple and a touch of honeysuckle. Medium-full, there is excellent concentration, beautiful acidity and a light nuttiness in the lengthy finish (the persistence is outstanding). This is a wine of marvelous complexity, one that is exotic and distinct; I give the wine a 5-star (outstanding) rating and estimate that it will peak in 10-12 years. These two new wines from Donnachiara are prime evidence of the new direction being undertaken by the producers of Campania – brava, Ilaria!
Sabino Loffredo, Pietracupa (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
A few final thoughts. As expected, the 2012 Pietracupa Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino are outstanding wines; the Greco with its gorgeous aromas of jasmine, lemon zest and magnolia flowers and beautiful ripeness, is especially memorable. Winemaker/proprietor Sabino Loffredo is among Italy's most accomplished vintners and these wines serve as reference points for their category. Every wine he produces is a true statement of typicity, displaying great varietal purity along with a true sense of place. Also two examples of Fiano di Avellino from 2011, the Ciro Picariello and the Villa Diamante "Vigna della Congregazione" are powerful styles of this wine (especially the latter) and are evidence that 2011 was an excellent year that has been overlooked, sandwiched between the outstanding 2010 and 2012 vintages.
Maiori, Costa d'Amalfi (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
Finally, I tasted an example of Biancolella that was arguably the finest I have ever come across. It's from Raffaelle Palma and it's called Pietracroce. This is a DOC Costa d'Amalfi wine from Palma's stunning estate in the small seaside town of Maiori. Brilliant light yellow in color with a hint of copper, this has striking aromas of kiwi, honeysuckle and pineapple and offers vibrant acidity along with a lengthy finish with notes of green tea. Beautifully balanced and quite delicious, this is another accomplished wine from Vincenzio Mercurio, one of Campania's most highly regarded enologists. This lovely wine is from the 2011 vintage, incidentally; I can't wait to taste the 2012 offering!
The Year's Best Producers (Part One)

It's time to reveal a partial list of some of the year's best Italian producers in my opinion. In this post, I'll include a mix of estates from various regions, producing an array of wines from sparkling to white to red. The complete list of the year's best Italian producers and wines will be published in the Spring issue of my Guide to Italian Wines, which will be sent to paid subscribers at the end of March.
CA' DEL BOSCO – This esteemed producer, under the guidance of Maurizio Zanella, has been among the very finest Franciacorta houses for many years. 2012 and early 2013 saw the release of the 2008 vintage-dated wines; the Satén is first-rate and among the most complex examples of this wine I have ever tasted. This past year also saw the second release of the Anna Maria Clementi Rosé – this from the 2004 vintage, which spent seven years on its yeasts! This is an explosive wine, one of the world's greatest sparkling rosés. (US importer, Banville and Jones)
FERGHETTINA – Managed by the Gatti family, this is another accomplished Franciacorta producer. Their Extra Brut – 2006 is the current vintage – has become their most celebrated wine; a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Nero that was aged for six years before release, is full-bodied and very dry with a long, flavorful finish and beautiful structure. As good or perhaps even better is their 2004 Pas Dosé (meaning no dosage) "Riserva 33″, so named as it is a blend of one-third of their Satén, one-third Milledi (a 100% Chardonnay sparkler from older vineyards) and one-third Extra Brut. This blend, aged for seven years on its yeasts, is a lovely wine of outstanding quality. In case you haven't noticed, Franciacorta producers such as Ferghettina and Ca' del Bosco – as well as several dozen others – have been refining their offerings each year, crafting products that are among the finest sparkling wines in the world. (US importer, Empson, USA)
Elena Walch (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
ELENA WALCH – Actually, the way it's been going as of late, I could name the Elena Walch estate in Tramin, Alto Adige as one of the best producers every year in Italy. This year saw the release of her 2011 estate whites and they are all lovely. Especially notable this year are the Sauvignon "Castel Ringberg" with its spot-on notes of spearmint, rosemary and basil; the Pinot Grigio "Castel Ringberg" with its luscious fresh apple and dried yellow flower notes and the Gewurztraminer "Kastelaz," always one of the best of its type in Italy. (Various US importers)
VILLA RAIANO - This Campanian estate has reinvented itself over the past two years and the results are extremely impressive! The regular examples of Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino from 2011 are nicely balanced with notable varietal purity, while the selezioni versions of these wines are first-rate, especially the 2010 and 2011 "Contrada Marotta" Greco di Tufo, which is one of the top ten examples of this wine, in my opinion. The 2008 Taurasi, produced in a traditional manner to emphasize the gorgeous Aglianico fruit, is a 5-star (outstanding) wine! (US importer, Siena Imports)
Alessandro Castellani, Ca' La Bionda (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
CA' LA BIONDA- Quite simply, this is one of the premier producers in the Valpolicella district. The Castellani family crafts wines in a traditional manner – maturing in large casks – that render wines that display the true anima of this territory – these are wines that offer a sense of place. Two outstanding releases over the past fifteen months are prime evidence of the greatness of this producer: the 2001 "Casal Vegri" Valpolicella Superiore and the 2005 Amarone Riserva "Ravazzol." The latter is a sumptuous, remarkably elegant Amarone with tremendous finesse as well as impressive depth of fruit, while the former is a Valpolicella that was aged for 10 years before release; this wine shows the true potential of Valpolicella, a wine type that too often gets lost next to Amarone. Both wines are outstanding. (Various US Importers, including Connoisseur, Niles, IL)
Campania's Vibrant Whites

I love the white wines of Campania, so it was a great pleasure to be invited to Bianchirpinia 2012, which was held in Avellino recently. This event, centered around anteprima tastings of the new releases of the 2011 vintage of Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino, along with producers visits and dinners, showed both the quality and variety of these lovely wines and reaffirmed in my mind that these are among Italy's finest whites.
While there were also a few other wines – such as Coda di Volpe and a few examples of Falanghina – tasted those days, Greco and Fiano were the primary focus. These two wines, produced from vines that are comprised of mixed soils – including volcanic deposits – are wines that beautifully display a sense of place. As most producers opt not to mature these wines in wood, the aromatic profiles of each stand out, with Greco delivering more lemon and pear aromatics (along with a pleasing note of almond in the nose and the finish), while Fiano is more identified (for me, at least) by more exotic fruits such as kiwi and mango along with lime and ripe pear (these notes of tropical fruit were more common in a warmer year such as 2011).
Another difference is with aging potential, as Greco tends to drink best within five years of the vintage date, while that increases to seven or more with Fiano. Indeed Fiano is a bit fatter on the palate with a more lush finish, while Greco tends to be more reserved with slightly higher acidity (in some cases) as well as having a bit more minerality. These estimates about aging are general of course and it's always a treat to learn about a Greco or Fiano that shows well more than a decade out, such as the time earlier this year when I tasted the 1994 Greco di Tufo with owner Raffaelle Troisi at Vadiaperti at his cellars in Montefredane. Light yellow in appearance, here was a beautifully balanced wine with great freshness – I thought I was drinking a five year old wine, not one that was eighteen years old!

As for the particular qualities of the 2011s, this is a successful vintage with expressive fruit and very good concentration. If there is a criticism one can make of this vintage, it's that the wines as a rule don't have the acidity of the best vintages, such as 2010, 2009 or 2008. Sabino Loffredo, proprietor/winemaker at Pietracupa in Montefredane, explained to me that there wasn't the usual rain in September in 2011, so grapes ripened more quickly. 2011 also has the misfortune of following 2010 which in Loffredo's words, "is one of the finest vintages for Greco and Fiano of the last twenty years."
So while I couldn't give 2011 a 5-star rating, it is a solid 4-star (excellent) vintage for the best producers. Here is a short list of my favorite examples of Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino from 2011:
Greco di Tufo
- Benito Ferrara
- Terrredora "Loggia della Serra"
- Pietracupa
- Bambinuto "Picoli"
- Mastroberardino "Nova Serra"
- Villa Raiano "Contrada Marotta" (5 stars – ottimo!)
- Sella delle Spine
- Vadiaperti
- Feudi di San Gregorio "Cutizzi"
Fiano di Avellino
- Pietracupa
- Terredora "Terre di Dora"
- Villa Raiano "Ventidue"
Generally, I was more impressed with the examples of Greco di Tufo from 2011 than the versions of Fiano di Avellino, but perhaps the Fianos will show much better with another year or two in the bottle.
A few examples of Fiano from 2010 and 2009 were also tasted out; these wines showed beautifully, especially the 2010 Urciuolo (enticing aromas of peony, chamomile and lemon rind) and the Villa Diamante "Vigna della Congregazione", which has been among my top two or three examples of Fiano every year, as this is routinely a great wine, with a lush, oily feel and outstanding persistence.
Also from 2009, the Joaquin "Vino della Stella" displayed excellent ripeness with aromatics of apricot, papaya, golden apple and saffron, while the Mastroberardino "More Maiorum" matured in wood, is a superb wine, with intriguing beeswax, lemon oil and bosc pear aromas backed by excellent persistence and ideal structure.
Regarding the recent 2012 harvest, Sabino Loffredo told me that while the year started off on a question mark, things improved during the growing season; in his words, 2012 could be quite a pleasant surprise. If Sabino says so, you know it's true, so I'm excited about trying this new vintage when the wines are released in 2013.
It is vitally important for an event such as Bianchirpinia to continue, as it is an excellent showcase for Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino, which in my mind are most certainly among the upper ranks of Italy's finest white wines. Given that more artisan producers have started to make these wines over the past decade, the overall quality has never been higher. Great news for lovers of Italian white wine!
Thank you to Diana Cataldo of Miriade and Partners for the invitation to this event and for organizing an excellent two days in Irpinia.

This intimate gem of a work returns us to the primal rewards of masterful storytelling. Could you be a public intellectual? So you know a lot about the spotted quoll. Or human rights law. Or the role of comedy in the climate change debate. Can you leverage your knowledge to become a public intellectual? ArtsHub Saturday 24 March, 2012 A German museum has been ordered to return thousands of posters to their rightful owner. Peter Sachs, a Jewish man whose father's poster art collection was stolen by the Nazis in 1938, has won his case in the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe. The judges in stating their reasoning for the decision said not returning the posters would "perpetuate Nazi injustice". Peter Sachs' father, Hans Sachs, had an impressive poster art collection of up to 12,500 which included posters for exhibitions, cabarets, films, and political propaganda. Hans, who escaped a concentration camp by fleeing to the US, has only had 4,529 of his posters identified so far. The German Historical Museum had collected the posters after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and had been displaying a few of them at a time. They argued that the collection was an extremely valuable resource for researchers. After becoming aware of the collection in 2005, Peter Sachs wasted no time in ensuring legal proceedings went ahead. "It feels like vindication for my father, a final recognition of the life he lost and never got back," he told Associated Press. Mr. Sachs' lawyer, Matthias Druba, also spoke out about the importance of getting the posters back. "Hans Sachs wanted to show the poster art to the public, so the objective now is to find a depository for the posters in museums where they can really be seen and not hidden away," he said. Mr. Druba also commented on the seven-year legal battle, stating he was "amazed it had to go all the way to the High Court" (Bloomberg). The museum has now stated that it "accepts the ruling." "Based on the ruling, the foundation will soon meet with Peter Sachs to arrange a rapid and mutually agreed solution of the ownership issues, and who holds them," they said in a statement. In regards to the ruling, Mr. Sachs was rendered speechless. "I can't describe what this means to me on a personal level," he said. About the author ArtsHub: Keeping you informed Share Tweet

Don't Extend Your Stay in This Market
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Two days of gains in the DJIA and the S&P 500 were wiped out in Tuesday's trading. This stock market is not for the amateur trader or investor. The stock market in 2014 is quickly becoming a hit-and-run type of market.
Do not overextend your stay.
The DJIA lost 137.55 points to close at 16374.31. The S&P 500 lost 12.25 points to close at 1872.83. The Nasdaq was down 28.92 to 4096.89 and the Russell 2000 was off 16.53 points to 1097.90.
The biggest common denominator in trading was the increase in volume as compared to the two most recent up days. Once again, the volume on these selloffs is much higher than the up days. I have been mentioning this theme for a while now. It is important.
There is a liquidity factor, in this case the lack of liquidity on the down moves. Traders and investors need to take notice of this fact. The news media is not at all concerned about this. As long as the market is moving higher everything is just fine. I am here to tell you that it is not fine. Volume will matter when you least expect it. It will matter on the down moves. They will become more vicious and rapid in a market that lacks liquidity.
I am here to tell you that this movie is nearing the end once again. We are within a day or two with those stocks rolling back over. They are all approaching extreme overbought conditions according to my algorithm process. Just some thought concerning each of those stocks. I am not sure traders or investors are aware of this fact. YELP is down 41% from its year-to-date high. YNDX is down 29% YTD from its hugh, NFLX is down 18% YTD from its high, AMZN is down 26% YTD from its high, and Facebook (FB) is down 17% YTD from its high. They are all in Trend Bearish territory. This is not a bull market in growth stocks in 2014. Take notice. In sum, the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 are deep into Trend Bearish territory and even though the DJIA and the S&P 500 are in Trend Bullish territory, they are getting closer to joining the Nasdaq and Russell 2000. On Tuesday, I sold my Family Health Company (FHCO) long position this morning for a 2% gain. At the end of trading I started a short position in AmerisourceBergen Corp (ABC) that was signaling an extraordinarily overbought condition. All trades can be found at www.strategicstocktrades.com. At the time of publication the author was short ABC.

Galactic "hailstorm" in the early universe
January 16, 2015 7:43 am | by Sarah Collins, Univ. of Cambridge | News | CommentsTwo teams of astronomers led by researchers at the Univ. of Cambridge have looked back nearly 13 billion years, when the universe was less than 10% its present age, to determine how quasars regulate the formation of stars and the build-up of the most massive galaxies. The team used a combination of data gathered from powerful radio telescopes and supercomputer simulations in their study.
Planets outside our solar system more hospitable to life than thought
January 15, 2015 3:35 pm | by Sean Bettam, Univ. of Toronto | News | CommentsA study by astrophysicists at the Univ. of Toronto suggests that exoplanets are more likely to have liquid water and be more habitable than we thought. Scientists have thought that exoplanets behave in a manner contrary to that of Earth. If so, exoplanets would rotate in sync with their star so that there is always one hemisphere facing it while the other hemisphere is in perpetual cold darkness.
Artificial intelligence helps predict dangerous solar flares
January 15, 2015 9:32 am | by Leslie Willoughby, Stanford Univ. | News | CommentsThough scientists don't completely understand what triggers solar flares, Stanford Univ. solar physicists Monica Bobra and Sebastien Couvidat have automated the analysis of those gigantic explosions. The method could someday provide advance warning to protect power grids and communication satellites.
A twist on planetary origins
January 14, 2015 4:34 pm | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | CommentsMeteors that have crashed to Earth have long been regarded as relics of the early solar system. These craggy chunks of metal and rock are studded with chondrules, tiny, glassy, spherical grains that were once molten droplets. Scientists have thought that chondrules represent early kernels of terrestrial planets.
Photonic booms may help illuminate astronomical secrets
January 12, 2015 7:49 am | by Jennifer Donovan, Michigan Technological Univ. | News | CommentsIf you sweep a laser pointer across the moon fast enough, you can create spots that actually move faster than light. Anyone can do it. At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, Wash., Robert Nemiroff, a physics professor at Michigan Technological Univ., reported that this theoretical curiosity may turn out to be practically useful out in the cosmos.
Map of mysterious molecules in our galaxy shed new light on century-old puzzle
January 9, 2015 9:18 am | by Phil Shneiderman, Johns Hopkins Univ. | News | CommentsBy analyzing the light of hundreds of thousands of celestial objects, Johns Hopkins Univ. astronomers from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) have created a unique map of enigmatic molecules in our galaxy that are responsible for puzzling features in the light from stars. The map was unveiled Jan. 8 at the 225th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle.
Unusual light signal yields clues about elusive black hole merger
January 8, 2015 7:44 am | by Ker Than, Caltech | News | CommentsThe central regions of many glittering galaxies, our own Milky Way included, harbor cores of impenetrable darkness—black holes with masses equivalent to millions, or even billions, of suns. What is more, these supermassive black holes and their host galaxies appear to develop together, or "co-evolve." Theory predicts that as galaxies collide and merge, growing ever more massive, so too do their dark hearts.
Eight new planets found in "Goldilocks" zone
January 6, 2015 3:43 pm | by David A. Aguilar, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics | News | CommentsAstronomers announced they have found eight new planets in the "Goldilocks" zone of their stars, orbiting at a distance where liquid water can exist on the planet's surface. This doubles the number of small planets (less than twice the diameter of Earth) believed to be in the habitable zone of their parent stars. Among these eight, the team identified two that are the most similar to Earth of any known exoplanets to date.
Planet-hunting satellite to observe supermassive black hole
January 6, 2015 11:00 am | by Joe Hadfield, Brigham Young Univ. | Videos | CommentsIf you want to see just how far Brigham Young Univ. (BYU)'s latest research extends, step outside of your house tonight, look up towards the sky, focus your view between the constellations of Cygnus and Lyra, and then zoom in about 100 million light years. That's the home of a galaxy known as KA 1858, which contains a black hole that BYU scientists observed with the help of NASA and astrophysicists throughout the Univ. of California system.
"Iron sun": The key to how stars transmit energy
January 6, 2015 8:34 am | by Neal Singer, Sandia National Laboratories | News | CommentsWorking at temperatures matching the interior of the sun, researchers have been able to determine experimentally, for the first time, iron's role in inhibiting energy transmission from the center of the sun to near the edge of its radiative band. Because that role is much greater than formerly surmised, the experimentally derived amount of iron's opacity helps close a theoretical gap in the Standard Solar Model.
New instrument reveals recipe for other Earths
January 5, 2015 4:23 pm | by David A. Aguilar, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics | News | CommentsHow do you make an Earth-like planet? The "test kitchen" of Earth has given us a detailed recipe, but it wasn't clear whether other planetary systems would follow the same formula. Now, astronomers have found evidence that the recipe for Earth also applies to terrestrial exoplanets orbiting distant stars.
Rover finds methane spikes on Mars
December 17, 2014 8:32 am | by Associated Press, Marcia Dunn | News | CommentsNASA's Mars rover, Curiosity, has detected spikes of methane in the planet's atmosphere. That suggests something is producing or venting the scientifically tantalizing gas, but no one knows what. Most of Earth's atmospheric methane comes from animal and plant life, and the environment itself. So the Martian methane raises the question of past or present microbial life.
Life on an aquaplanet
December 17, 2014 7:43 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | CommentsNearly 2,000 planets beyond our solar system have been identified to date. Whether any of these exoplanets are hospitable to life depends on a number of criteria. Among these, scientists have thought, is a planet's obliquity—the angle of its axis relative to its orbit around a star.
Is the Higgs boson a piece of the matter-antimatter puzzle?
December 16, 2014 8:28 am | by SLAC Office of Communications | News | CommentsSeveral experiments, including the BaBar experiment at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, have helped explain some, but not all, of the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe. Now a SLAC theorist and his colleagues have laid out a possible method for determining if the Higgs boson is involved.
Pluto-sized objects kick up dust around adolescent sun-like star
December 15, 2014 10:27 am | by David A. Aguilar, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics | News | CommentsAstronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) may have detected the dusty hallmarks of an entire family of Pluto-size objects swarming around an adolescent version of our own sun. By making detailed observations of the protoplanetary disk surrounding the star known as HD 107146, the astronomers detected an unexpected increase in the concentration of millimeter-size dust grains in the disk's outer reaches.
Traces of biological activity inside meteorite
December 4, 2014 10:57 am | by EPFL | Videos | CommentsDid Mars ever have life? Does it still? A meteorite from Mars has reignited the old debate. An international team that includes scientists from EPFL has published a paper in Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences, showing that Martian life is more probable than previously thought.
"Mirage Earth" exoplanets may have burned away chances for life
December 3, 2014 11:21 am | by Peter Kelley, News and Information, Univ. of Washington | News | CommentsPlanets orbiting close to low-mass stars are prime targets in the search for extraterrestrial life. But new research led by an astronomy graduate student at the Univ. of Washington indicates some such planets may have long since lost their chance at hosting life because of intense heat during their formative years.
Losing air
December 2, 2014 8:01 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | CommentsToday's atmosphere likely bears little trace of its primordial self: Geochemical evidence suggests that Earth's atmosphere may have been completely obliterated at least twice since its formation more than 4 billion years ago. However, it's unclear what interplanetary forces could have driven such a dramatic loss.
Plasma shield
December 1, 2014 7:43 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | CommentsHigh above Earth's atmosphere, electrons whiz past at close to the speed of light. Such ultra-relativistic electrons, which make up the outer band of the Van Allen radiation belt, can streak around the planet in a mere five minutes, bombarding anything in their path. Exposure to such high-energy radiation can wreak havoc on satellite electronics, and pose serious health risks to astronauts.
Unraveling the mystery of gamma-ray bursts
November 20, 2014 7:39 am | by Univ. of Cardiff | News | CommentsA team of scientists hope to trace the origins of gamma-ray bursts with the aid of giant space microphones. Researchers at Cardiff Univ. are trying to work out the possible sounds scientists might expect to hear when the ultra-sensitive LIGO and Virgo detectors are switched on in 2015.
Black hole loses its appetite for gassy cloud
November 19, 2014 8:22 am | by Anne M. Stark, Lawrence Livermore National Laboraotry | News | CommentsIn a showdown of black hole versus G2—a cloud of gas and dust—it looks like G2 won. Recent research shows that G2 came within 30 billion km of the super-massive black hole at the center of our galaxy, yet managed to escape from the gravitational pull of the black hole.
Warmth, flowing water on early Mars were episodic
November 18, 2014 11:46 am | by Kevin Stacey, Brown Univ. | News | CommentsAmple evidence of ancient rivers, streams and lakes make it clear that Mars was at some point warm enough for liquid water to flow on its surface. While that may conjure up images of a tropical Martian paradise, new research published in Nature Geoscience throws a bit of cold water on that notion.
Gravity may have saved the universe after the Big Bang
November 18, 2014 10:34 am | by Laura Gallagher, Imperial College London | News | CommentsNew research by a team of European physicists could explain why the universe did not collapse immediately after the Big Bang. Studies of the Higgs particle have suggested that the production of Higgs particles during the accelerating expansion of the very early universe (inflation) should have led to instability and collapse.
Pulling together the early solar system
November 14, 2014 8:35 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | CommentsWhile astronomers have observed the protoplanetary disk evolution throughout our galaxy, the mechanism by which planetary disks evolve at such a rapid rate has eluded scientists for decades.
