In this businessline podcast, Chhaya Dhanani, Portfolio Head Engineering for Research, Thoughtworks, provides valuable insights into the MeerKAT radio telescope.  The MeerKAT telescope is a cutting-edge radio telescope located in South Africa. Unlike optical telescopes, MeerKAT can capture radio signals day and night, making it highly sensitive. It consists of 64 antennas and serves as a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), set to be the largest and most sensitive radio telescope in the Southern Hemisphere.  In 2018, Thoughtworks, a digital transformation consultancy, joined forces with the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) in Pune for a two-year collaboration. Together, they aimed to specialise in data processing software for MeerKAT.  Thoughtworks contribution to the MeerKAT project involves building an automated image processing pipeline called "ARTIP." This pipeline handles the massive amount of data generated by MeerKAT, eliminating noise, calibrating signals, and automating data processing, significantly speeding up the analysis process.  This collaboration has led to two significant discoveries, including the detection of rare hydrogen atoms in distant galaxies, offering insights into celestial body formation and gas generation.  MeerKAT's impact on radio astronomy is multifaceted. It will enable scientists to study galaxies, black holes, gravitational waves, dark energy, and the origins of life. Additionally, it has driven innovation in high-performance computing, accelerators, storage mechanisms, and energy-efficient solutions. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the unknown and advance both scientific knowledge and technological capabilities.  Overall, this conversation highlights the exciting developments in radio astronomy, the role of automation and technology in data processing, and the significance of the MeerKAT radio telescope.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/business-line/message

Image plane detection of FRB121102 with the MeerKAT radio telescope by J. C. Andrianjafy et al. on Wednesday 23 November We present the analysis of radio interferometric 2-s images from a MeerKAT observation of the repeating fast radio burst FRB121102 on September 2019, during which 11 distinct pulses have been previously detected using high time and frequency resolution data cubes. In this work, we detected 6 out of the 11 bursts in the image plane at 1.48 GHz with a minimum peak signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 5 {sigma} and a fluence detection limit of 0.512 Jy ms. These constitute the first detections of a fast radio burst (FRB) or a radio transient using 2-s timescale images with MeerKAT data. Analysis of the fitted burst properties revealed a weighted average precision of 1 arcsec in the localization of the bursts. The accurate knowledge of FRB positions is essential for identifying their host galaxy and understanding their mysterious nature which is still unresolved to this day. We also produced 2-s images at 1.09 GHz but yielded no detection which we attributed to the spectral structure of the pulses that are mostly higher in strength in the upper frequencies. We also explore a new approach to difference imaging analysis (DIA) to search for transients and find that our technique has the potential to reduce the number of candidates and could be used to automate the detection of FRBs in the image plane for future MeerKAT observations. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.12257v1

Sciences with Thai National Radio Telescope by Phrudth Jaroenjittichai et al. on Tuesday 11 October This White Paper summarises potential key science topics to be achieved with Thai National Radio Telescope (TNRT). The commissioning phase has started in mid 2022. The key science topics consist of "Pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)", "Star Forming Regions (SFRs)", "Galaxy and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs)", "Evolved Stars", "Radio Emission of Chemically Peculiar (CP) Stars", and "Geodesy", covering a wide range of observing frequencies in L/C/X/Ku/K/Q/W-bands (1-115 GHz). As a single-dish instrument, TNRT is a perfect tool to explore time domain astronomy with its agile observing systems and flexible operation. Due to its ideal geographical location, TNRT will significantly enhance Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) arrays, such as East Asian VLBI Network (EAVN), Australia Long Baseline Array (LBA), European VLBI Network (EVN), in particular via providing a unique coverage of the sky resulting in a better complete "uv" coverage, improving synthesized-beam and imaging quality with reducing side-lobes. This document highlights key science topics achievable with TNRT in single-dish mode and in collaboration with VLBI arrays. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.04926v1

Searching for axion dark matter with MeerKAT Radio Telescope by Yun-Fan Zhou et al. on Tuesday 20 September Axions provide a natural and well-motivated dark matter candidate, with the capability to convert directly to photons in the presence of an electromagnetic field. A particularly compelling observational target is the conversion of dark matter axions into photons in the magnetospheres of highly magnetised neutron stars, which is expected to produce a narrow spectral peak centred at the frequency of the axion mass. We point the MeerKAT radio telescope towards the isolated neutron star J0806.4$-$4123 for $10$-hours of observation and obtain the radio spectra in the frequency range $769$-$1051$ MHz. By modelling the conversion process of infalling axion dark matter (DM) we then compare these spectra to theoretical expectations for a given choice of axion parameters. Whilst finding no signal above $5sigma$ in the data, we provide a unique constraint on the Primakoff coupling of axion DM, $g_{{rm a}gammagamma}lesssim 9.3 times 10^{-12},{rm GeV}^{-1}$ at the $95%$ confidence level, in the mass range $3.18$-$4.35,mu$eV. This result serves the strongest constraint in the axion mass range $4.20$-$4.35,mu$eV. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.09695v1

A Q-band line survey towards Orion KL using the Tianma radio telescope by Xunchuan Liu et al. on Wednesday 07 September We have conducted a line survey towards Orion KL using the Q-band receiver of Tianma 65 m radio telescope (TMRT), covering 34.8--50 GHz with a velocity resolution between 0.79 km s$^{-1}$ and 0.55 km s$^{-1}$ respectively. The observations reach a sensitivity on the level of 1-8 mK, proving that the TMRT is sensitive for conducting deep line surveys. In total, 597 Gaussian features are extracted. Among them, 177 radio recombination lines (RRLs) are identified, including 126, 40 and 11 RRLs of hydrogen, helium and carbon, with a maximum $Delta n$ of 16, 7, and 3, respectively. The carbon RRLs are confirmed to originate from photodissociation regions with a $V_{rm LSR}sim$9 km s$^{-1}$. In addition, 371 molecular transitions of 53 molecular species are identified. Twenty-one molecular species of this survey were not firmly detected in the Q band by Rizzo et al. (2017), including species such as H$_2$CS, HCOOH, C$_2$H$_5$OH, H$_2^{13}$CO, H$_2$CCO, CH$_3$CHO, CH$_2$OCH$_2$, HCN $v_2=1$, and CH$_3$OCHO $v_t=1$. In particular, the vibrationally excited states of ethyl cyanide (C$_2$H$_5$CN $v$13/$v$21) are for the first time firmly detected in the Q band. NH$_3$ (15,15) and (16,16) are identified, and they are so far the highest transitions of the NH$_3$ inversion lines detected towards Orion KL. All the identified lines can be reproduced by a radiative transfer model. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.03067v1

How to Deploy a 10-km Interferometric Radio Telescope on the Moon with Just Four Tethered Robots by Patrick McGarey et al. on Tuesday 06 September The Far-side Array for Radio Science Investigations of the Dark ages and Exoplanets (FARSIDE) is a proposed mission concept to the lunar far side that seeks to deploy and operate an array of 128 dual-polarization, dipole antennas over a region of 100 square kilometers. The resulting interferometric radio telescope would provide unprecedented radio images of distant star systems, allowing for the investigation of faint radio signatures of coronal mass ejections and energetic particle events and could also lead to the detection of magnetospheres around exoplanets within their parent star's habitable zone. Simultaneously, FARSIDE would also measure the "Dark Ages" of the early Universe at a global 21-cm signal across a range of red shifts (z approximately 50-100). Each discrete antenna node in the array is connected to a central hub (located at the lander) via a communication and power tether. Nodes are driven by cold=operable electronics that continuously monitor an extremely wide-band of frequencies (200 kHz to 40 MHz), which surpass the capabilities of Earth-based telescopes by two orders of magnitude. Achieving this ground-breaking capability requires a robust deployment strategy on the lunar surface, which is feasible with existing, high TRL technologies (demonstrated or under active development) and is capable of delivery to the surface on next-generation commercial landers, such as Blue Origin's Blue Moon Lander. This paper presents an antenna packaging, placement, and surface deployment trade study that leverages recent advances in tethered mobile robots under development at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which are used to deploy a flat, antenna-embedded, tape tether with optical communication and power transmission capabilities. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.02216v1

Brett McGuire is among the pioneers looking beyond the Earth's atmosphere and discovering a surprising and fascinatingly complex chemical world that defies imagination and provides intriguing new insights into the origin of the chemistry we know. In one of our most fascinating episodes yet, Paolo and Brett discuss astrochemistry, the study of chemistry in outer space. Chemistry in space is unique because it is atmosphere and solvation free, and temperature is really low. By scanning radio telescope spectra, astrochemists are discovering hundreds of complex organic molecules in the spaces between stars and are developing intriguing new theories on the origin of our chemical reservoir, the reasons for biological L- chirality, and how life could vary in different parts of the universe. If you're tempted to dismiss this as mere curiosity, you will be surprised by how efforts to study chemistry happening light years away from our planet are often the key to revolutionizing chemistry here on Earth.

So back in the 1930's, astronomers noticed that there didn't seem to be enough mass in galactic clusters to hold them together, but they were held together. There mas be some additional mass and gravity to hold everything together, but where is it? It can't be seen. And this problem produced the theory of dark matter.

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) has mapped around three million distant galaxies with remarkable speed and detail. The telescope completed its first survey of the sky from the Outback in Western Australia in just 300 hours. According to Larry Marshall, head of Australian science agency Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the survey was a breakthrough in unveiling the mysteries of the universe. The survey's result is analogous to a Google Map of the universe, where millions of faraway galaxies are shown as star-like marks. The map includes about a million new galaxies that had never been seen before. Other telescopes would have taken about a decade to map out the same number of galaxies. In addition, compared to other surveys of the sky that require tens of thousands of images to process and combine, the ASKAP only needed about 900 images to create a new atlas of the sky. Because of its superior capabilities, astronomer David McConnell described the ASKAP as a game-changer in astronomy. The telescope is equipped with CSIRO-designed receivers that enable it to have a vast field of view and capture images of the sky in higher resolution compared to other telescopes. Its custom-built software is also capable of quickly processing the large amounts of data it generates. McConnell said the telescope is more sensitive, capturing a larger number of objects than ever before. Scientists at CSIRO expect to conduct more surveys of the sky and discover millions more galaxies in the future.  They are also hopeful that the telescope will allow them to observe changes in the sky and gain a better understanding of the life cycle of stars and the evolution of black holes and galaxies.

Then John joins in with an old article in the Weekly World News that claimed his one-time boss, Oprah Winfrey, had aliens on the payroll, and Heyang adds that China has the largest radio telescope listening to outer space. From there, it's about sci-fi movies, human existence and books that suggest that perhaps there's far more going on than meets our human eyes.

In Arecibo, Puerto Rico lies a great radio telescope. For 53 years, the Arecibo observatory had been the largest radio telescope on the planet, and was the largest operational radio telescope in the world for all but 10 months of its existence. Constructed in 1963, the impressively massive 305 meter (1000 foot) radio telescope helped stage significant advances in the astronomical sciences. Arecibo remained the prime telescope of the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and METI (Messaging to Extraterrestrial Intelligence) projects, both initially formulated by NASA but later formed into a nonprofit organization. The Arecibo Observatory, without a doubt, is the most famous radio telescope on the planet, having been featured in popular novels like Contact by Carl Sagan (which is my favorite book, by the way) and in popular movies like Contact (again, by Carl Sagan, and again, also my favorite movie) and James Bond, and in popular TV shows like The X-Files. The Arecibo Observatory lives in fame for its astonishing contributions to the advancement of the astronomical sciences, but it appears that all great things come to an end.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is novelist Will Maclean, who's haunted by his recollections of the Zegazoid Chew Bar, The Song And The Story, Look And Read: The King's Dragon, The Fourth Pan Book Of Horror Stories, The Weekend Book Of Ghosts And Horror and Photographs Of The Unknown. Along the way we'll be formulating a poor quality Richard Carpenter conspiracy theory, debating how ghosts answer the phone, finding out why the tie-in Xtro bar was never marketed, and trying to figure out exactly what Wordy was other than a floating pedantic bastard. Plus we may be getting a visit from the Grange Hill Walled-Up Ghost... You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/

We’ve now passed the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, and all eyes are back on the Moon. NASA is planning to return to the Moon by 2024 with its Artemis mission, the Chinese have put the Moon firmly in their plans for space exploration, and even SpaceX thinks the Moon is the perfect destination to test out the capabilities of its Starship. But what can you do with the Moon? Refuel spacecraft with resources drawn from the lunar regolith? Mine its helium 3 for your fusion reactors? Build a lunar amusement park? In fact, the far side of the Moon might make one of the best platforms we have for radio telescopes. One side of the Moon is completely blocked from Earth’s constantly increasing radio traffic, giving it the perfect view to the most sensitive radio signals in the Universe.

Astrophiz 95: Steve Olney: From Ham Radio to Radio Astronomy - "The 2019 Vela Glitch" Feature Interview: This amazing interview features Steve Olney who has established the Hawkesbury Radio Astronomy Observatory in his backyard. Steve has constructed a Yagi antenna array, coupled it with a receiver and observed a pulsar 900 LY away and generated data that has enabled him to be the only person on the planet to observe Vela’s 2019 glitch in radio waves as it happened. In the sky for observers and astrophotographers: Our regular feature ‘What’s Up Doc’ is with Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave. He previews the excellent planet viewing opportunities over the next two weeks, and Venus and Jupiter have close encounters with the moon. Ian gives tips on observing the little known Alpha Monocerotid meteor shower which has a predicted rate of 400 per hour this year on Thursday night, November 21-22, from a radiant near the star Procyon. It peaks around 04:50 UT (around 3 pm in Australia) and while this is during daylight hours for us, it is possible the peak may arrive early or late so observations on the morning of the 21st and 22nd from around 1 am are encouraged. Observations in the Northern hemisphere are favoured with a higher radiant. In the UK the peak is a 4:50am before dawn, and on East coast USA at 11:50pm and on the West coast at 8:50pm In the News: On Nov. 11, SpaceX launched 60 more "Starlink" satellitesand has just asked the International Telecommunication Union to arrange spectrum for 30,000 additional Starlink satellites. ***Our Next Episodes:*** Our very next and final 2019 episode is our ‘Are We Alone’ feature episode with Professor Geraint Lewis, and then we take a well-earned summer holiday break over the festive season. In the New Year, we will talk with Dr Belinda Nicholson over in the UK, Wael Farah on his use of AI to capture FRB signals from MOST in real time, and we have lined up alien communication specialist researcher Daniel Oberhaus, who is the author of his new book ‘Extraterrestrial Languages’. We’re also hoping to have Clint Jeffrey on the show to talk about ‘First Light’ for the Astronomical Society of Victoria’s new 8m Radio Telescope up in a quiet zone in central Victoria. And then in March 2020 we will have our milestone 100th episode and we are thrilled to confirm Dr Vanessa Moss will be our guest for this special episode.

China's 1,600 feet wide Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope is the world's biggest radio telescope. A primary mission of FAST is to listen for pulsars and other interstellar radio signals—including any coming from hypothetical extraterrestrials.

The Square Kilometer Array is currently being designed and construction will start soon on a radio telescope that promises to revolutionize our understanding of the universe by looking at radio wavelengths in the highest resolution ever obtained. #astronomy #telescopes --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/deepastronomy/support

Astrophiz 66: Professor Steven Tingay “Building the world’s biggest radio telescope”, ICRAR, the MWO and the SKA. https://soundcloud.com/astrophiz/astrophiz66-prof-steven-tingay This episode features an extended interview with John Curtin Distinguished Professor Steven Tingay, who is the Deputy Executive Director of ICRAR and leads the Curtin University node of ICRAR. ICRAR is the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. Whilst with ICRAR, he was also the Director of the $50M Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) project, the fully operational precursor radio telescope for the Square Kilometre Array which is already producing some astonishing SKA science. In our regular segment for astrophotographers and observers, Dr Ian “Astroblog’ Musgrave presents ‘What’s Up Doc? where he tells us what's up in the evening, night and morning skies for the next two weeks. In this episode he tells us about the planets currently visible to the naked eye, and Comet 21P no visible in binoculars, and for asteroid hunters he explains about about the Yarkovsky effect and a great example as detected by Guy Wells and Daniel Bamberger at Northolt Branch Observatory In the News: AI machine learning algorithm discovers new FRBs in old data Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell awarded A$4.2 million dollar breakthrough Initiative Prize and donates it to support under-represented research students instead of buying a Ferrari. Next Episode: Doug Ingram ‘DSLR Astrophotography 201'

The largest radio telescope in the southern hemisphere has been launched in the Northern Cape today. The 4.4 billion telescope will enable scientists to have a clearer view and deeper understanding of the Milky Way Galaxies. This instrument will later form part of the Square Kilometre Array, which will be the largest scientific instrument ever. Deputy President David Mabuza says this will change the course of history.

Astrophiz 51: Dr David Gozzard - Telescope pilot taking the pulse of the Universe. In this episode we are speaking with Dr David Gozzard who is a Post-doc Researcher at the The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research and lecturer at the University of West Australia. He is also a surf lifesaver, a 3D printer and model aircraft pilot, Astrophysics blogger and recipient of the 2017 West Australian Student Scientist of the Year Award. His work on synchronising multi-signal systems has been successfully tested on SKA precursor radio telescope arrays in Australia and Africa. Then Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave tells astrophotographers, naked eye observers, binocular and telescope wranglers, what to look for in the skies over the next two weeks.

Presented by Dr. Tyler Bourke on 24th March 2017.Australia is part of an international effort to build the World's largest radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). In fact, one of the two telescope arrays that make up the SKA will be built in the Western Australian outback near Murchison, about 800 km NNE of Perth, a remote area almost devoid of people, but already the location of two advanced radio telescopes. The other SKA telescope array will be in a similarly isolated location in South Africa. The telescopes of the SKA will provide more than an order-of-magnitude increase in performance over existing radio telescopes, to for example: address fundamental questions on the history of our Universe and the emergence of the first stars and galaxies ; detect the merger of super-massive black-holes at the centres of galaxies through their gravitational waves, and use these events to test Einstein's theories ; detect powerful bursts of radio emission whose origin and nature remain controversial.

What is radio astronomy? How big is going to be the next generation radio telescope? What is SKA? This is the first episode of a weekly podcast about the fascinating world of astronomy. On today’s episode, I have a conversation with Phil Diamond, who is the Director General of the Square Kilometre Array, we talk about the science behind this telescope, from the original idea to where they are today. Are we going to prove Einstein wrong? How are we going to be able to see the early universe? All of that and so much more on this fi The post Building the world’s largest radio telescope [Astro et al Ep. 1] appeared first on Astronomy et al.

Presented on 4 December 2015 by Dr Lisa Harvey-Smith. What is Dark Matter? How did the solar system form? Was Einstein right about the nature of gravity? Are we alone in the universe? To tackle these fascinating questions and more, an international consortium of eleven nations is currently designing the 'Square Kilometre Array' (SKA) telescope. Comprising thousands of radio receivers located in Africa and Australia, the SKA will be the world's most powerful radio telescope. It will revolutionise our understanding of the universe, from the first stars and galaxies formed after the Big Bang to the formation of planet Earth. In preparation for this mega-science project, the CSIRO has built the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope which is due to start early science operations next year. In this talk, CSIRO astronomer Dr. Lisa Harvey-Smith will reveal early results from ASKAP, explain the science and technology behind the telescope and describe many scientific mysteries it will tackle.
