Positive detections of
radio wave emissions due to Venusian lightning have been reported (Ksanfomaliti et al. 1979; Taylor et al. 1979; Russell et al. 2007).
Mini-jets of material ejected from a central supermassive black hole appear to be the culprits behind faint
radio wave emissions in «radio - quiet» quasars.
Her team studied infrared and
radio wave emissions from disks in several star - forming clusters with well - known ages.
Mooley and colleagues suggest that the rise in
radio wave emissions could be explained if the jet slammed into a shell of neutron - rich material kicked out in the neutron star crash, transferring most of its energy to that debris and smothering the jet.
Radio wave emissions continued to brighten for at least 93 days, and are still visible now, the team found.
Not exact matches
The X-ray data show hot gas and the
radio data show
emission from electrons that have been accelerated to high energies by the nova shock
wave.
And just as we can regard
radio emissions as
waves and not as photons because of their long wavelength, the gravitational
waves that we detected were of sufficiently long wavelength that we could indeed regard them as
waves.
Previous studies had measured the amount of
radio emission coming from the distant Universe, but had not been capable of attributing all the
radio waves to specific objects.
In earlier observations,
emission from two or more faint objects often was blurred or blended into what appeared to be a single, stronger source of
radio waves.
In the same way large antennas on rooftops direct
emission of classical
radio waves for cellular and satellite transmissions, the nano - antenna efficiently directed the single photons emitted from the nanocrystals into a well - defined direction in space.
Three images, left to right, of the same thundercloud depict a less - than -10-milliseconds-long sequence of events: (left) formation within the cloud of a small channel, or «leader,» of electrical conductivity (yellow line) with weak
emission of
radio signals (ripples), to (middle) a burst of both dark lightning (pink) and
radio waves (larger ripples), to (right) a discharge of bright lightning and more
radio waves.
We know that for energies of modest to intermediate energy, the culprit or the source of the acceleration appears to be the shock front that surrounds a [an] expanding supernova blast
wave; that is to say, we have a star that undergoes a massive cosmic explosion [and] drives a strong shock
wave out into the surrounding interstellar medium, and the gas around the shock
wave, and all the magnetic fields associated with it are capable of accelerating particles to very high energies; and also incidentally magnifying and amplifying the magnetic field associated with that shock front and giving a lot of x-ray
emission and
radio emission and so on, and so we've understood that.
Observations of the shock between this pair of clusters showed that the
radio emission was connected to the galaxy's jet, so clearly the electrons must have been initially accelerated by the black hole and then reaccelerated by the shock
waves.
Thomas Dame at the Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Massachusetts and his colleagues got around this by looking at a jet of
radio waves that can outshine any
emissions from that mess of stars.
The first is the FIELDS experiment which will examine the different fields in the corona, including the Sun's magnetic field, electric fields,
waves, plasma density, electron temperature, density fluctuations and
radio emissions.
Another of his recent work, on how to strategically point telescopes to find electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational
wave sources, was adapted for observations by the Very Large Array
radio telescope in New Mexico, which successfully observed
radio emission from the merger.
If viewed from an angle away (off - axis) from the center of the jet, the long - term
emission of X-rays and
radio waves would be getting weaker.
While gamma rays arrive first in the Solar System and overshine lower energy
emissions, x-rays, visible and infrared light, and
radio waves associated with the supernova are eventually perceived as well (more images).
Kasliwal's colleague, theorist Ehud Nakar of Tel Aviv University, pointed out that the absence of X-ray and
radio emissions fit a model in which the ejected material from the merged neutron stars produced a blast
wave that interacts with the interstellar medium but with a time lag.
Galaxies and quasars, and the «jets» of subatomic particles ejected at great speeds by some of these objects, have definite patterns of polarized
emission of light and
radio waves.
«telegraph» means any appliance, instrument, material or apparatus used or capable of use for transmission or reception of signs, signals, writing, images and sounds or intelligence of any nature by wire, visual or other electro - magnetic
emissions,
Radio waves or Hertzian
waves, galvanic, electric or magnetic means.»
