	Radio astronomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radio astronomy is the study of celestial phenomena through measurement of the characteristics of radio waves emitted by physical processes occurring in space.

	The Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Radio astronomy is the study of celestial objects by means of the natural radio waves they emit.
		Radio astronomy is thus important both as pure research and as a training for scientists.
		In 1957, through the generosity of Mullard Ltd. and with support from the Science Research Council, the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) was built 5 miles south-west of Cambridge, at Lord's Bridge.

		The flux density of the remnant at 1 GHz, in milliJanskies (mJy).
		The spectral index of the integrated radio emission from the remnant is either a value quoted from the literature, or one deduced from the available integrated flux densities of the remnant.
		For several SNRs a simple spectral model is not adequate to describe their radio emission, either because the spectral index varies across the face of the remnant or because the integrated spectrum is curved, and in these cases the parameter flag_spectral_index (q.v.) is set to 'V'.

	Antony Hewish - Pulsars and the Phased-Array Antenna
		He was part of the radio astronomy team that designed and built the first antennas using aperture synthesis.
		It was to exploit this technique on a large sample of radio galaxies that I conceived the idea of a giant phased-array antenna for a major sky survey.
		In 1977, Hewish took over management of the radio astronomy group, and was the head of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory from 1982 through 1988.

	Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory 151MHz Project
		If we are to proceed, we need to be able to put forward a project plan to the MRAO, including details of the development team, objectives, timescales and an assessment of the MRAO resources required to complete and support the work.
		Specifically we have a need for, two or three people ideally in the Cambridge area, who are reasonably skilled in electronics and radio engineering, are practical and most importantly can put in a significant commitment to time over the next three months.
		Unlike most of the other projects that the RAG will be involved with, where we have the luxury of setting the pace and scope of the work, the 151 project has these influences largely set by elements beyond our immediate control.

	Broadsheet
		Radiation at these wavelengths, which are to be found between the radio and far-infrared part of the spectrum, is of particular interest because it is generated by bodies that are cooling and can be traced back to the beginning of the universe.
		Unlike the rest of the telescopes at MRAO, it is, as its name suggests, is an optical Telescope, and gets round the need for a large image catching dish (which is technically difficult to make and to move) by combining the output of 4 of the 5 small telescopes into a single image.
		The unique feature of the AMI, MRAO’s most recent telescope, is that, owing to the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (the scattering of cosmic microwave background photons by hot, ionised gas in clusters of galaxies), it is able to count all the galaxy clusters in a given area of the sky whatever their distance.

		He successfully designed and constructed the most advanced astronomical observatory of his time on the island of Hven and during twenty years he effectively directed what is considered to be the first, modern research institute.
		He inaugurated a new era of observational astronomy and emphasized the need to determine instrumental errors, just before this field of natural science was revolutionized by the invention of the telescope.
