AI Thread Summary
There has been no update to CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities since Cox's 1999 edition, which is the most recent version available. The discussion highlights the need for a reference text that includes updated astrophysical and cosmological data, particularly regarding confirmed exoplanets, which were not documented in the 1999 edition. Participants express a desire for more current statistical data in astronomy and astrophysics. The search for a more recent edition that encompasses these advancements remains ongoing. Access to updated information on exoplanets is crucial for current research in the field.

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
