How to Calculate Energy and Power from Milky Way's Radio Emissions?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calibrating antennas using radio emissions from the Milky Way, specifically targeting the center of the galaxy. The user seeks guidance on calculating energy and power from these radio signals to align with theoretical results. They suggest that relevant academic papers, such as one linked from arXiv, could provide useful insights. The overall goal is to enhance the accuracy of antenna calibration through these measurements. Understanding the radio noise from the Milky Way is essential for the project's success.

First of all, new to the forums, so HELLO!
I am currently working on a project and cannot catch a break on what I need to be looking for. The project consists of calibrating antennas based on the radio noise from the Milky Way. We would like to point the antenna at the center of the milky way in order to calibrate based on theoretical (calculated) results. Anyone know how to calculate the energy,power, etc. from radio light emitted from the center of the Milky Way?

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...
