Radio astronomers unveil new calibration technique for clearer low-frequency universe imaging

Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 07, 2024

A breakthrough calibration method developed by researchers from Leiden University now enables the creation of sharp radio images of the universe at previously unattainable low frequencies. This innovative approach effectively overcomes the disruptive effects of Earth's ionosphere, allowing for unprecedented clarity in radio astronomy. The method was applied using the LOFAR telescope in Dre
