Bengaluru-based Raman Research Institute (RRI) is aiming at making radio astronomy so easily accessible and exciting to undergraduate science students “that they should be able to reach an observatory even in their pyjamas after dinner”. To achieve that, the institute is working on a project – a first in India – to see academic institutions […]
With over fifty years of experience in radio astronomy and uniquely located within the National and West Virginia Radio Quiet Zones, the Green Bank Observatory (GBO) is home to seven large radio telescopes ranging in size from 14m – 100m in diameter. The site also has significant infrastructure which allows for the installation of any […]

Quick Links: NRQZ Applicants; GBT RFI GUI Radio Frequency Interference Protection Astronomers measure signals in terms of Janskies – 10-26 Watts/meter2/Hertz, and the GBT often measures signals of milli- or even micro-Janskies. That’s a decimal point with 32 zeros after it: 0.00000000000000000000000000000001 W/m2/Hz !! This is much less than, say, the energy of a single […]
