...the dish would be able to observe the Universe in the 5 –100 metre wavelength band, a region of the electromagnetic spectrum rarely utilised in astronomy. The radio telescope, which would have “tremendous advantages compared to Earth-based telescopes...
...spectrograph called SOPHIE; a spectrograph is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and it has been used to search for Neptunes and super-Earths in the Northern Hemisphere since 2011...
... big they really are. All four ORCS are also only visible in the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they cannot be seen at infrared, optical or X-ray wavelengths. Whatever they are, they are certainly strange; all...
... water (H2O) or other hydroxyl (OH) compounds as both have chemical signatures at 3µm (micrometers) – the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum they were detected in – and it was difficult to discriminate between the two. Neither was it clear just...
... Maxwell Telescope – the largest single-dish telescope that operates in the far-infrared to microwave wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. As ground-breaking as these results were, the team did not explicitly specify that microbes were behind...
... a later study of this data revealed something intriguing; a portion of the light in the ultraviolet band of the electromagnetic spectrum, was being absorbed by a mysterious molecule. This absorption feature, that centred around 184 nanometers, was...
