The image on the left is the raw, unfiltered data. It is so comtaminated by radio-frequency interference (RFI) that only the interference can be seen. The image on the right shows the point sources as concentric circles, visible after RFI-mitigation filtering techniques have been applied. A reduction by two orders of magnitude in the rms noise of the unfiltered data has been achieved. See the paper by M. Kesteven.

    February 2, 2016 Time: 09:25am chapter1.tex © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. 1 Introduction 1.1 AN INTRODUCTION TO RADIO ASTRONOMY 1.1.1 What Is Radio Astronomy? Radio astronomy is the study of natural radio emission from celestial sources. The range of radio frequencies or wavelengths is loosely defined by atmospheric opacity and by quantum noise in coherent amplifiers. Together they place the boundary be- tween radio and far-infrared astronomy at frequency ν ∼ 1 THz (1 THz ≡ 1012 Hz) or wavelength λ = c/ν ∼ 0.3 mm, where c ≈ 3 × 1010 cm s−1 is the vacuum speed of light. The Earth’s ionosphere sets a low-frequency limit to ground-based radio astronomy by reflecting extraterrestrial radio waves with frequencies below ν ∼ 10 MHz (λ ∼ 30 m), and the ionized interstellar medium of our own Galaxy absorbs extragalactic radio signals below ν ∼ 2 MHz. The radio band is very broad logarithmically: it spans the five decades between 10 MHz and 1 THz at the low-frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum. Nearly everything emits radio waves at some level, via a wide variety of emission mechanisms. Few astronomical radio sources are obscured because radio waves can penetrate interstellar dust clouds and Compton-thick layers of neutral gas. Because only optical and radio observations can be made from the ground, pioneering radio astronomers had the first opportunity to explore a “parallel universe” containing unexpected new objects such as radio galaxies, quasars, and pulsars, plus very cold sources such as interstellar molecular clouds and the cosmic microwave background radiation from the big bang itself.
