Sentences with phrase «radio galaxies which»

When the radio waves pass through the galaxy, a region in which there is both a magnetic field and ionised gas, the direction of polarisation is changed, or «rotated».

Researchers with the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) looked for radio signals coming from the star's galaxy (which could be a sign of alien life) but failed to find any.

To this end, Lovell first constructed a transit telescope 218 feet in diameter in 1947 which made the first detection of radio waves from the Andromeda galaxy and proved that astronomical objects from outside of our own galaxy emitted radio waves and could be detected.

The most fascinating feature of this galaxy is its jet, which is visible in optical light as well as x-rays and radio emissions.

This FRB, which lasted for only a few thousandths of a second, was unique, as it contained invaluable information about the cosmic web — the swirling, diffuse and faint web of gases and magnetic fields that exists between galaxies, and which is completely invisible to optical and most radio telescopes.

The target object of this observation is radio source Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2), which is an object with strong emission, located at near the center of our galaxy.

This portion of the spectrum, which is more energetic than most radio waves yet less energetic than visible and infrared light, holds the key to understanding a great variety of fundamental processes, including planet and star formation, and the formation and evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters in the early Universe.

They are relatively weak sources compared to active galaxies, which fall into various categories such as radio galaxies, Seyfert galaxies, and quasars.

They hope to localize more bursts to see whether they usually live in dwarf irregular galaxies, and whether they all appear alongside steady radio sources, both of which would support the newborn - magnetar theory.

Astronomers observe these black holes in millimeter radio waves, the wavelength band at which light can penetrate the dense concentrations of gas and dust at the center of the galaxy and travel relatively unimpeded to Earth.

Another idea is that the variations in the radio emission are not connected to the burst itself, but are arising within an active galaxy in which the burst occurred.
