Sentences with phrase «in submillimetre»

At these wavelengths, astronomers can peer at the disks of gas and dust around newborn stars, see into star - forming clouds, and observe early galaxies that are bright in submillimetre wavelengths but obscured by dust in optical light.

Discovery made possible by a leap in submillimetre radio astronomy technology, comparable to viewing videos instead of photos.

[2] The Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA), operated in part by ESO, observes in submillimetre and millimetre light and is ideal for the study of such very young stars in molecular clouds.

As they are opaque to visible light it is difficult for astronomers to observe their inner workings, and so other tools are needed to unveil their secrets — observations in the infrared or in the submillimetre parts of the spectrum, for example, where the dust clouds, only a few degrees over absolute zero, appear bright.
