Topic: Millimeter band


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
 submillimeter wave astronomy
The study of the universe in the last waveband of the electromagnetic spectrum to be explored from Earth: the submillimeter window, which extends between wavelengths of about 0.3 to 1 millimeter.
This bandwidth is ideally suited for studies of the structure and motions of the matter that forms stars; of the spiral structure of galaxies, as outlined by their giant molecular clouds; and of quasars and active galactic nuclei.
The submillimeter window lies between the longest infrared wavelengths and the short radio waves in the millimeter band.

 CfCP: EDGE at Chicago
To produce limits on the emission variations of intergalactic dust over the whole sub millimeter band.
This technology is essential for EDGE science because unambiguous detection of the CIB requires a spectral decomposition of the sky signal, using multiple spectral bands, in order to separate it from Galactic dust emission.
Details of the EDGE spectral bands are shown in the table below.
