Jan Oort

Jan Hendrik Oort ForMemRS[1] ([yan ort]; 28 April 1900 – 5 November 1992) adalah seorang ahli astronomi dari Belanda. Beliau dikenali atas sumbangan besar beliau kepada pemahaman umum mengenai galaksi Bima Sakti serta merupakan perintis dalam bidang astronomi radio.[2] Belasungkawa The New York Times menyebutnya "salah satu penjelajah terkemuka alam semesta";[3] laman web Agensi Angkasa Eropah menggambarkannya sebagai, "salah satu ahli astronomi terbesar abad ke-20", dan menyatakan bahawa beliau "merevolusi astronomi melalui penemuan pecah tanah beliau."[4] Pada tahun 1955, nama Oort muncul dalam senarai 100 orang yang paling terkenal oleh majalah Life.[5] Beliau telah digambarkan sebagai "meletakkan Belanda di barisan depan astronomi selepas perang."[3]

Oort memutuskan bahawa Bima Sakti berputar dan membalikkan idea bahawa Matahari berada di tengahnya. Beliau juga mengisytiharkan kewujudan jirim gelap yang tidak dapat dilihat dalam misteri pada tahun 1932, yang dipercayai membentuk kira-kira 84.5% daripada jumlah perkara di Alam Semesta dan yang tarikan graviti menyebabkan "penggabungan bintang-bintang menjadi galaksi dan galaksi menjadi penyambung tali galaksi".[3][6]Beliau menemui halo galaksi, sekelompok bintang yang mengarahkan Bima Sakti tetapi di luar cakera utama.[7] Selain itu Oort bertanggungjawab untuk beberapa pandangan penting tentang komet, termasuk kesedaran bahawa orbit mereka "tersirat di sana adalah lebih banyak sistem surya daripada rantau yang diduduki oleh planet-planet."[3]

Awan Oort, pemalar Oort, dan Asteroid, 1691 Oort, semuanya dinamakan sempena beliau.

Kehidupan peribadi sunting

Pada tahun 1927, Oort berkahwin dengan Johanna Maria (Mieke) Graadt van Roggen (1906-1993). Mereka telah bertemu di sebuah universiti di Utrecht, di mana abang Oort sedang mempelajari biologi pada masa itu. Oort dan isterinya mempunyai dua anak lelaki, Coenraad (Coen) dan Abraham, dan seorang anak perempuan, Marijke.

Menurut laman web Universiti Leiden, Oort sangat berminat dan berpengetahuan tentang seni. "Apabila mengunjungi negara lain dia akan selalu berusaha untuk meluangkan masa untuk melawat muzium dan pameran tempatan ... dan pada tahun lima puluhan berkhidmat selama beberapa tahun sebagai pengerusi jawatankuasa seni bergambar Pusat Seni Akademi Leiden, yang ada di antara lain-lain perkara yang menganjurkan pameran."[8]

"Rakan-rakannya teringat kepadanya sebagai seorang lelaki yang tinggi, kurus dan sopan dengan cara yang baik," lapor belasungkawa New York Times.[3]

Beberapa penemuan Oort sunting

  • Pada tahun 1924, Oort menemui halo galaksi, sekelompok bintang yang mengarahkan Bima Sakti tetapi di luar cakera utama.
  • Pada tahun 1927, beliau mengira bahawa pusat Bima Sakti adalah 5,900 parsek (19,200 tahun cahaya) dari Bumi ke arah konstelasi Sagittarius.[9]
  • Pada tahun 1932, dengan mengukur usul bintang-bintang dalam Bima Sakti, dia adalah orang pertama yang menemui bukti untuk perkara gelap, apabila dia mendapati jisim pesawat galaksi mestilah lebih daripada massa bahan yang dapat dilihat.[10][11][12]
  • Beliau menunjukkan bahawa Bima Sakti mempunyai massa 100 bilion kali dari Matahari.
  • Pada tahun 1950, beliau mencadangkan bahawa komet datang dari kawasan umum Sistem Suria (kini dikenali sebagai awan Oort).
  • Beliau mendapati bahawa cahaya dari Nebula Ketam terpolarisasi, dan dihasilkan oleh pelepasan sinkrotron.
