Stargazing How is the principle of the operation of radio telescope?

AI Thread Summary
Radio telescopes operate by collecting radio waves emitted from celestial objects, which are then focused by large parabolic dishes. The collected signals are converted into electrical signals and processed using specialized software to create images or data representations. This process allows astronomers to study various cosmic phenomena, including pulsars and galaxies. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the technology behind radio telescopes for translating signals into images. Overall, radio telescopes play a crucial role in modern astronomy by enabling detailed observations of the universe.

How is the principle of the operation of radio telescope?

I am interesting that how can radio telescope translate signals to image.

Does any experts can tell me?

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Could fast radio bursts be alien radar signals?'

Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
