To date, however, no - one has attempted to do the same thing at
the radio wavelengths used in telecommunication.
Now, the same approach could be applied to

Because you have to
use a
radio wavelength that is smaller than the dimensions of the object you are trying to locate, radar relies on high - frequency waves, just a few inches long (higher frequencies have shorter
wavelengths).

With
wavelength sizes between a millimeter and a meter, microwave
radio frequencies are electromagnetic waves that
use frequencies in the.3 gigahertz to 300 gigahertz range.
The principle idea is to
use a
radio telescope to map neutral hydrogen, which emits or absorbs
radio waves with a
wavelength of 21 centimeters.
Using radio -
wavelength data collected this year by NASA's Juno mission, researchers have found that signatures of the Great Red Spot persist roughly 300 kilometers into Jupiter.
In the center is an image taken at the same sub-millimeter
wavelengths, but this time
using the new
radio telescope facility ALMA.
In Britain it is relatively easy to
use the system, as the Radiocommunications Agency allows the monitoring system to operate on the same
wavelengths as
radio microphones.
Newly arrived at UC Berkeley, Townes soon learned of plans by young professor William «Jack» Welch to build a short -
wavelength radio telescope, and offered some of his startup funds to build a maser amplifier and microwave spectrometer so the telescope could be
used to search for evidence of complex molecules, like ammonia, in space.
An international team of astronomers led from Chalmers University of Technology has
used the giant
radio telescope Lofar to create the sharpest astronomical image ever taken at very long
radio wavelengths.
Fortunately, astronomers have been able to
use longer
radio wavelengths that are not absorbed by the obscuring dust and radiowave - emitting molecules like carbon monoxide (which are concentrated in the spiral arms) to trace the spiral disk's structure.
All were discovered
using single - dish
radio telescopes that are unable to narrow down the object's location with enough precision to allow other observatories to identify its host environment or to find it at other
wavelengths.
Kevin then
used another technique to better constrain the plane of the disk itself: as you can't quite trust scattered light images to determine where the structures (mass) is hidden, he
used longer
wavelength observations from the ALMA
radio interferometer array to figure out how inclined is the disk.
The team of astronomers
used the VLBA to determine the structure of Sgr A * at five
radio wavelengths (6.0, 3.6, 2.0, 1.35 cm, and 7 mm).
The two teams, led by David Koerner (of the Planetary Origins Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania)
using the Owens Valley
Radio Observatory and David Wilner (of the Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics)
using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer of the Institut de RadioAstronomie Millimetrique (IRAM) in the French Alps, collected millimeter -
wavelength observations that were sensitive to structures as small as 20 AUs.
Ongoing
radio observations (SMA, JCMT, VLA) of Sirius A are being
used to set an observationally determined standard for stellar atmosphere modeling and debris disk studies around A stars, as well as to take the first step toward characterizing potential intrinsic uncertainty in stellar emission at these
wavelengths.
Operating at a
wavelength of 2 centimetres, it was
used to study galactic and extragalactic objects that emit
radio waves, such as quasars.
I think we need to challenge this theme
using all the techniques available together with Subaru and other next - generation optical telescopes, as well as other
radio telescopes that can observe different
wavelengths than ALMA.
Although super small, this angular size can actually be resolved by astronomical observations
using an interferometric technique at
radio wavelengths, called Very Long Baseline Interferometry or VLBI (see here for details).
