Neutral hydrogen only emits at radio wavelengths, so the only way to observe this fundamental material in emission is with radio telescopes. The emission from hydrogen is very weak, much fainter than ...

Large radio telescopes are essential tools for ... a new optimized parameter model has been developed for moving-platform electro-optical telescopes, which enhances pointing accuracy by addressing ...

New optical technologies have revolutionized astronomy, from the invention of the telescope 400 years ago to more recent developments of adaptive optics and segmented mirrors. The next disruptive ...

A 40-meter-diameter radio telescope is put into use on Friday in Shigatse, Xizang autonomous region. Built by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely pinpoint the origin of repeated bursts of intense radio waves—so-called fast radio ...

North Liberty’s best kept secret looks like a giant satellite dish nestled in a wooded area between North Liberty and ...

In a nutshell Astronomers have discovered repeated radio burst signals coming from an unprecedented location – 40,000 ...

Fast radio bursts are mysterious and brief flashes of radio emissions that were thought to be produced by magnetars, highly magnetized rotating neutron stars. Yet magnetars appear primarily in young ...

Instead of finding the radio burst in a region of young stars, researchers traced its origin to the outskirts of a “dead” ...
