Title: Radio Astronomy and Interferometry Fundamentals [Lecture 1/2]


Date: 2pm (AEDT) Thursday 19th February 2015

Abstract: Radio astronomy uses observations at radio wavelengths to study celestial objects. This lecture will provide a brief introduction to radio astronomy, including a description of common emission mechanisms and radio telescopes, and why multiple telescopes are linked as interferometers to make high resolution “aperture synthesis” images (a technique recognized by the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics). We will use pictures to develop intuition about the Fourier transform relationship between the sky brightness and visibility function that underlies radio interferometry. (A companion lecture will provide a pedagogical introduction to the process by which radio interferometric images are made.)

I want to do my Masters in radio astronomy. This was great lecture and now I am even more motivated. Thanks ♥️

This is the best explanation of the complex visibility function I have found. I will recommend this lecture to my fellow radio astronomy students.

I love the way that the lecturer explains the fundamentals of Radio Astronomy and Fourier transform. It is much clearer in my head how these aspects are related to the observations. I need to know more about the radio mechanisms and how are they useful for data analysis after imaging the source?!.
Many many thanks xXx

The easiest explanation on internet of radio astronomy basics. A nice visualization on FT.
Thank you Anita Chapter.

The sky brightness is an important phenomenon for both optical and radio telescopes corresponding to the spatial resolution (differentiation of the smallest distances).

I hawaii they use radio telescope to refilling all human essential needs even like soda, money, basic food ect...but only in emergency for now not every one or everyday yet
