	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.
		Radio astronomy has led to substantial increases in astronomical knowledge, particularly with the discovery of several classes of new objects, including pulsars, quasars and radio galaxies.
		Radio astronomy is also partly responsible for the idea that dark matter is an important component of our universe; radio measurements of the rotation of galaxies suggest that there is much more mass in galaxies than has been directly observed (see Vera Rubin).

	Radio Astronomy [encyclopedia] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Radio Astronomy is the study of the Universe and astrophysical phenomena, by examining their emission of electromagnetic radiation in the radio portion of the spectrum.
		Radio astronomy has greatly improved our understanding of the evolution of stars, the structure of galaxies, and the origin of the universe.
		The low-frequency limit of the radio band is determined by the opacity of the ionosphere, while the high-frequency limit is due to strong absorption from oxygen and water bands in the lower atmosphere.

		Radio astronomy is a relatively new field of astronomical research.
		Following World War II, substantial improvements in radio astronomy technology were made by astronomers in Europe and the United States, and the field of radio astronomy began to blossom.
		Radio astronomy is also partly responsible for the idea that dark matter is an important component of our universe; radio measurements of the rotation of galaxies suggest that there is much more mass in galaxies than has been directly observed.

	radio astronomy: a project by r a d i o q u a l i a (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Radio Astronomy is an art and science project which broadcasts sounds intercepted from space live on the internet and on the airwaves.
		Radio Astronomy correlates the processes associated with broadcast radio - the transmission of audible information, and the processes of radio astronomy - the observation and analysis of radiated signals from planets, stars and other astrophysical objects.
		The project is indeed radio astronomy in the strict sense - a radio station devoted to broadcasting sounds from space.

	Astronomy Today: Radio Astronomy
		It would seem that the public perception of radio astronomy conjures up images of astronomers in tight jeans wearing headphones to detect some weak signal buried in the galactic noise.
		Radio waves having enormous wavelengths by comparison, do not focus into neat "pictures" rather they tend to interfere with one another since the focusing device (reflector) is tiny in relation to the wavelength.
		To construct a 10 mm wavelength radio telescope with the imaging capabilities of a small 4 inch optical telescope one would need a reflector about 2 km (over 6000 feet!) in diameter, clearly this enormous size is impractical.

		Radio astronomy is astronomical observation at radio wavelengths.
		On 8/9/2004, the declination at which the radio telescope was pointed was changed to -28.85 degrees, which is the declination of SGR A. An observation file commenced at 7 pm EST on that date was the first of this series of observations of SGR A at its declination.
		The regular radio astronomy receiver has a passband of 35 MHz, is frequency agile, and was tuned to a center frequency of 3.87 GHz, the low part of C band, where interference is minimized.

	Information about radio astronomy. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Radio waves are emitted because the fl hole ingests hydrogen gas, along with anything else that comes near it, and the captured material is accelerated and ionized on approach and in the presence of a magnetic field produces radiation at radio frequencies.
		When astronomers realized that the new radio telescope could observe radio waves from the center of the galaxy, which was blocked to their optical instruments by clouds of dust, the building of the great radio telescopes began.
		A change in the intensity of radio waves is marked by a change in the voltage at the output of the radio astronomy receiver.

	Why Radio Astronomy? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Radio astronomy may be conducted using either imaging or non-imaging techniques.
		Non-imaging radio astronomy includes the observation of radio noises from Jupiter, collection of solar flare data, and meteor infall counts.
		The reason for using the broadband equipment is that discrete radio objects radiate over a large spectrum, therefore a greater receiver bandwidth increases the amount of energy received from the object.

	Frequently Asked Questions About Radio Astronomy
		The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is a facility of the National Science Foundation, operated by Associated Universities, Inc., a nonprofit research organization.
		Radio observations as part of a Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) have been done by different groups of researchers for a number of years, but this type of work is not a part of NRAO observational programs.
		Amateur radio operators pursue a number of activities that are somewhat related to radio astronomy, including communicating by bouncing radio signals off the Moon and the ionized trails of meteors in the Earth's atmosphere.

		The Brandeis Radio Astronomy Group conducts research in extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology at wavelengths covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum, but especially at radio wavelengths.
		These experiments are revealing for the first time the magnetic field structure in these compact objects (where apparent motions in excess of the speed of light are often observed), and the nature of the plasma surrounding the massive fl hole thought to exist at the center of these sources.
		The VLA has also been used to make extremely high quality maps of the radio "jets" in many quasars, in order to understand the mechanism by which enormous amounts of energy are transported from the cores to the outer radio lobes.

		Infra-red radiation (green) is emitted by dust clouds warmed by new stars imbedded in the nebula.
