  1. Does a Radome Affect Radio? - Not too far away from where this is being written is one of Uncle Sam’s NATO outpo... - hackaday.com/2025/01/25/does-a #radioastronomy #geodesicdome #radiohacks #radome

  2. More exciting, unexplained science!

    An emerging class of objects in #RadioAstronomy, mostly discovered in the last few years, still can't be explained.

    Now, two new multi-wavelength studies might have answers.

    Wrote about both these Aussie astronomy cases, and how they might be giving us those additional clues, to narrow in on what we are seeing.

    Are these an entirely new object all together? OR, do we need to re-think our physics? Both scenarios are fascinating.

  3. 🌌 We are pleased to announce that the APEX telescope in Chile is now fully integrated into the global mm-VLBI network (GMVA)! 🎉 Thanks to the new 3mm receiver, we were able to detect interferometric fringes between APEX and antennas worldwide 🌐, confirmed by the MPIfR #Correlator Center.

    📅 This breakthrough was achieved during the observations from October 11-13. 🌍📡

  4. 🌌 Wir freuen uns, mitteilen zu können: Das APEX-Teleskop in Chile ist nun vollständig in das globale mm-VLBI-Netzwerk (GMVA) integriert! 🎉 Dank des neuen 3mm-Empfängers konnten wir Interferenzmuster zwischen APEX und Antennen weltweit 🌐 erfassen, bestätigt durch das MPIfR-#Korrelatorzentrum.

    📅 Dieser Durchbruch gelang während der Beobachtungen vom 11.-13. Oktober. 🌍📡

  5. Almost forgot!

    Oct 31 is the anniversary of Murriyang starting operations in 1961!

    63 years of operation, and it’s still giving us solid science/discoveries.

    Iconic Aussie astronomy infrastructure. ANd of course, my fav telescope in the world!

    Happy b'day, Dish!

  6. LOOK!

    These odd plots represent the first data from the SKA-low telescope working as an interferometer.

    Data comes from two stations (each with 256 antennas) where the signal is correlated. That little kink is the radio galaxy Centaurus A.

    SKA is starting to come online!

    SKA-low features these odd-looking antennas that resemble Christmas trees. 256 of them sit in a ‘station’ which acts as a single unit. Once construction is complete (end of decade) there will be 512 stations separated by distance creating a large virtual telescope.

    SKA-low is the Australian side of the project and will feature over 131,000 antennas to cover the low-frequency bands.

    This will complement SKA-mid, located in South Africa which will have an interferometer made of dish antennas and cove a huge bandwidth up to 15 GHz.

  7. 👀👀👀

    A new long-period radio transient! The population grows!

    GLEAM-X J 0704−37 has a period of 2.9 hours (longest period yet detected!) and is linearly polarized ... and ... it likely has an identified companion (an M3 Dwarf).

    Discovered in the archival low-frequency data from
    the MWA.

    arxiv.org/abs/2408.15757

    The reason I am excited about these is because we don't know what they are as yet! Pulsars have periods that are much smaller (faster rotators) than these things.

    So we are seeing a new population of slower rotators emerging. Read more about it here: spaceaustralia.com/index.php/f

    Also chatted with @stilgherrian about this in the recent pod if you prefer to listen: stilgherrian.com/edict/00228/

  8. Nice talk about the Gauribidanur Radio Observatory building a simple all-sky 1-bit digitization system that allows to create beams a posteriori…

  9. What is a SKAMPI doing in the Karoo semi-desert in South Africa?

    Unique scientific research! 👍

    The SKA-MPIfR telescope (SKAMPI) is a prototype dish for the SKA-Mid telescope currently under construction in South Africa.

    Take a look at the stunning results of the "First Light" observations of the Vela pulsar: mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/pressrelease

  10. Was macht ein SKAMPI in der Karoo-Halbwüste in Südafrika?

    Es betreibt einzigartige wissenschaftliche Forschung! 🤗

    Das SKA-MPIfR-Teleskop (SKAMPI) ist eine Prototyp-Antenne für das SKA-Mid-Teleskop, das derzeit in Südafrika entsteht.

    Werft gerne einen Blick auf die großartigen Ergebnisse der „First Light“-Beobachtung des Vela-Pulsars: mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/pressemeldun

  11. I’m quoted in this Scientific American story about a possible primordial dark/low surface brightness galaxy detected in the radio at #GreenBankObservatory, presented at #AAS243. They took out all the careful caveats of course! (But I know to expect that)
