The most distant and most powerful "odd radio circle" (ORC) known so far has been discovered by astronomers. These curious rings are a relatively newly identified astronomical phenomenon, having been ...

A detailed image reveals an unusual plasma jet structure, suggesting the presence of two merging supermassive black holes at the galaxy’s core. For more than a century and a half, the distant galaxy ...

Radio interferometric imaging represents a pivotal advance in astronomical observation by combining signals from distributed radio telescopes to synthesise high-resolution images of celestial objects.

Just wondering if multiple wifi access points could be used to create a wifi receiver essentially the size of the distance between the access points. Obviously inspired by the way radio telescopes use ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover aerospace, astronomy & hosted The Cosmic Controversy Podcast. After decades of discussion, the far side of the moon --- ...

When Ken Kellermann ’59 was a sophomore, he and the other physics majors had to take a class in optics. “I thought it was the most boring thing,” he recalls. “It was all 19th-century technology—shine ...

ABSTRACT This paper describes the OI (Optical Interferometry) Exchange Format, a standard for exchanging calibrated data from optical (visible/infrared) stellar interferometers. The standard is based ...

ABSTRACT We describe the development of an FX‐style correlator for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), implemented in software and intended to run in multiprocessor computing environments, such ...
