PPT-Impact of New Generation of User Oriented Radio Telescopes

The Golden Anniversary of the 1960s The Golden Years of Radio Astronomy HRA IAU GA Hawaii 5 Aug 2015 Ron Ekers CSIRO Australia Overview The discovery process Specialized general purpose. Telescopes. Key Concepts. What are the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum?. What are telescopes and how do they work?. Where are most large telescopes located?. Telescopes - Key Terms. Telescope. Telescopes were first invented around the year 1600. . Galileo . Galilei was an early astronomer who first used telescopes to view objects in our solar system. . He . made many important discoveries including: the moon was covered in mountains and Jupiter had 4 large moons.. 3: Telescopes. Images can be formed through reflection or refraction.. Reflecting mirror. 3.1 Optical Telescopes. Image formation. Modern telescopes are all reflectors:. Light traveling through lens is refracted differently depending on wavelength.. Optical Telescopes. Ground based and on satellites. Observations are recorded using a camera instead of the human eye most times. . This is so we can separate colors into light and using times to study changes over time.. rd. workshop on . . . Large Mm/. Submm. Telescopes . . . in the ALMA Era. March 10, 09:00 – 18:10.

No other accessories (calculators, cell phones, …) are allowed.. Important: Anything in the posted slides that I did not cover in class could be on the exam.. Agenda. Turn in Displacement Lab work.

Light and radiation (energy in the form of waves that travel through empty space). Kyle Mason. Mesh networks requirements have evolved from their military origins as they have moved from battlefield to the service provider, to the residential networking environments.. Today, to cover large areas with a single wired Internet link, more cost effective and efficient means of bandwidth distribution are . How astronomers study space. Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). Light can travel through empty space. All EMR travels at the speed of light. . 3 x 10. 8. m/sec. Astronomers study different types of EMR. Why . do we need telescopes?. Humans can only see 6000 stars at night and cannot resolve (discern) the detail of objects in the sky if they are too close together. . Humans also cannot see anything but visible light. . Surface accuracy not so important, so easy to make large one.. angular resolution . . . wavelength. mirror diameter. D larger than optical case, but wavelength . much. larger (cm's to m's), e.g. for wavelength = 1 cm, diameter = 100 m, resolution = 20".. Agenda. Turn in Displacement Lab work.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?. What is light? . What type of electromagnetic radiation is most dangerous to life?. What is the main purpose of a telescope? .
