These are both relatively long integration times on the Intel i5 MiniPC used for this experiment. The numbers are not equivalent – in both cases I attempted to obtain an…

Short answer: it increases by a factor of 4. Here’s why (under the usual physics assumptions): So if the object shrinks to half it’s size: To keep constant: Angular momentum…
It is often stated that pulsar timings are very stable and hence used as a cosmic clock by astronomers. Yet, on a live demonstration at Dwingaloo Observatory in Netherlands tonight,…
There is no single officially published, modern value for the system temperature (Tsys) or SEFD of the 25 m Dwingeloo radio telescope that’s easy to point to. What follows is…
ezRA’s ezGLon.py program studies cross sections of the Milky Way, along one Galactic Longitude (GLon). ezRA’s ezGLon.py program processes *GLon.npz files. Above, the ezGLon.py program errored because it found *Gal.npz…
A half-wave dipole resonant at 1420 MHz (the hydrogen line) has essentially the same impedance as at any other frequency: In practice The actual feedpoint impedance will vary depending on…
