Sentences with phrase «such telescope observations»

Not exact matches

In coming years NASA's Webb and WFIRST telescopes will probably attempt such observations on a handful of the nearest, brightest promising exoplanets, as will a new generation of ground - based 30 - meter - class observatories now under construction.

Combining observations from satellites and ground stations with climate models, they evaluated different factors that affect telescope vision, such as the amount of water vapour, wind speeds and atmospheric turbulence.

It is expected to be tested rigorously when observations begin to be made with next - generation neutrino detectors such as IceCube - Gen2 and KM3Net, and the next - generation gamma - ray telescope, Cherenkov Telescope Array.

That made it less likely that the clumping might be due to an observation bias such as pointing a telescope at a particular part of the sky.

While biomarkers have never been spotted in observations of an exoplanet, because their signal is so faint, the new generation of telescopes being planned today, such as the European Extremely Large Telescope, may be sensitive enough to detect them.

Because Tabby's star has cultivated such an air of mystery, the response to its new dimming has been quick and enthusiastic, with some telescope observations of the star already planned over the next few days.

Now the researchers hope that future observations of a large number of distant galaxies using the ALMA telescopes could help unravel how frequently such evolved galaxies occur in this very early epoch of the history of the universe.

In the majority of cases, the ALMA observations alone could pinpoint the distances, but for a few galaxies the team combined the ALMA data with measurements from other telescopes such as the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) and the ESO Very Large Telescope.

Observations with research - class telescopes are in such high demand that every night is precious, and every day is filled with activity.

«A smaller search area enables follow - up observations with telescopes and satellites for cosmic events that produce gravitational waves and emissions of light, such as the collision of neutron stars.»

Many of the planets discovered by EDEN around nearby stars will be suitable for in - depth atmospheric characterization, mass, radius, and bulk density measurements through follow - up observations with large ground - and space - based telescopes, such as NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Once again, we will have to wait for a few more years for new telescopes to become available such as NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission or ESA's CHEOPS (Characterizing Exoplanets Satellite) which are both scheduled for launches in 2017 and may be capable of making the required observations of such a bright target.

If such observations go forward, the telescope will provide an unparalleled view of Proxima b. JWST is optimized for infrared wavelengths, which can be used to examine a planet's heat emissions.

Reaching these three objectives confirm that the instrument can operate as a single dish radio telescope and also as part of global VLBI network observations, such as the European VLBI network.

In this paper, we review the performance of these modes in terms of exoplanet science capabilities and describe recent instrumental milestones such as first - light Fizeau images (with the angular resolution of an equivalent 22.8 - m telescope) and deep interferometric nulling observations.
