Data .txt Files & Timelapse Video of Data Collection of comparison between ezCol.py & ezColGR (GNU Radio version) on LRO-H2(SCRT) using same 150cm dish, feed and SDR 24-25/1/2026

Admin January 25, 2026 No Comments

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…

If a mass shrinks to half of its size then how many times does it’s rotational velocity increase by?

Admin January 23, 2026 No Comments

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…

Pulsar Timings

Admin January 23, 2026 No Comments

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,…

What are the Tsys, AEFF, and SEFD of 25m Dwingaloo dish?

Admin January 23, 2026 No Comments

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…

How to use GLon.py in ezRA (Easy Radio Astronomy)

Admin January 23, 2026 No Comments

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…

Radio observation in hydrogen line (1420MHz)

What is the impedance of 1420 Mhz (1.42 GHz) [atomic neutral hydrogen line] dipole?

Admin January 21, 2026 No Comments

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…
