Thus, the team set out to study radio wavelengths.

But the measurement is tricky, and researchers had hoped that studying radio wavelengths would give a more precise result.

Not exact matches

It will snap the first close - up images of Pluto and Charon, map their surface features with visible - wavelength cameras, study their compositions in the near - infrared spectrum, and monitor Pluto's thin atmosphere with ultraviolet spectrometers and radio waves.

ALMA will consist of 64 12 - meter - diameter dish antennas comprising a single imaging telescope to study the universe at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths — the region between radio waves and infrared waves.

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.

«Young pulsars are particularly rare, and being able to study such a young one at radio wavelengths provides an outstanding opportunity to learn critical facts about their evolution and workings.»

The New Worlds Technology Development Program, which lays the scientific groundwork for a future mission to study nearby Earth - like planets, and the Cerro Chajnantor Atacama Telescope, which would provide short - wavelength radio surveys to study dusty material associated with galaxies and stars, are ranked the highest priority for midsize space - and ground - based programs, respectively.

What is unique is that at the dawn of radio astronomy, a scientist predicted hydrogen would emit this radiation at detectable radio wavelengths, and this prediction offered astronomers a new tool for studying the universe.

After studying VLA and Keck data on 26 galaxies and quasars, Wardle, Perley and Cohen conclude that «the observational data at both optical and radio wavelengths show that any rotation of the plane of polarizaton over cosmological distances is unmeasurably small and is indistinguishable from zero.»

But in order to understand the universe, we need to study astronomical objects over the broad range of wavelengths they emit — from the gamma rays emitted from emerging stars to the radio waves released from black holes.
